Azizi, Frankie Laine was a singer (whom I've always thought of as American) popular in the 50s and early 60s. Although he was probably more famous in other peoples' minds for other songs, I always associate him with
"She wears red feathers and a hula hula skirt" and one version of the Deptford/Ratcliffe Highway genre cautioning young men about fireships;
"She had a dark and a roving eye, and her hair hung down in ring - lets"
