FRANKIE LAINE - “A Woman In Love”
(19th October 1956)
“A Woman In Love” boasts gale force orchestration, as if to prove that the days of the Big Number weren’t over yet. Laine meets it head on - if he was any more hammy he?d have a curly pink tail. “Your EYES! Are the EYES! Of a WUMMAN! In LOVE!” Or one in mortal fear of her life - Laine and Anne Shelton should have teamed up. Or married. The orchestra unleashes a tsunami of swing - Frankie responds by spraying emphases like bullets - the listener cowers and counts the two-and-a-half minutes down. 2
