"The Cowboy's Lament," otherwise known as "The Streets of Laredo," has been recorded many, many times. Here's the Marty Robbins version, which has probably been the most successful . . .
BTW, one of the finest singing voices, IMHO. He paints a vivid picture worthy of being considered a great story-teller.

'Tell Laura I love Her' by Paul Peterson (not Jeff of The Donna Reed Show). You gotta love this pure early '60s schmaltz.

'Unforgettable' by Nat King Cole (his solo version). I love his voice and nothing is more evocative of those times to me than hearing this song and most of his hits.

A bit of a departure here...Edward R. Morrow's Julie London documentary. She was the uncommonly beautiful singer of Cry Me a River., You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To...no other versions touch those songs...a singer's singer. A true original ... pop music's vamp - an American beauty,. BTW, this is a classic example of how Hollywood and media didn't know how to market a natural talent and true beauty:
