Frankie Laine (1913–2007) was an American singer and songwriter known for a versatile range—from big band crooner to western-themed ballads—whose hits include That's My Desire, Mule Train, and Rawhide.
Sam Fender and Olivia Dean have achieved the longest-running UK No. 1, spending 19 non-consecutive weeks at the top and surpassing Frankie Laine’s 1953 record. The duet’s ascent began in 2025, with a gradual climb to No. 1 in 2026, aided by Dean’s new verse and live performances. Critics praise its authenticity and emotional depth.
