Frankie Laine, a singer who achieved enormous popularity in the 1940s and 50s with a robust voice and a string of hits including “That’s My Desire,” “Mule Train,” “Ghost Riders in the Sky” and “Jezebel,” died on Tuesday in San Diego. He was 93.

That voice was seemingly heard everywhere in Mr. Laine’s heyday, not just on radios and jukeboxes, but also on the soundtracks of movies and television shows. His was the voice that sang of the American West in “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” (1957), “3:10 to Yuma” (1957) and “Man Without a Star” (1955). He starred in more than a half-dozen musicals on film. And on television, he was the host of three different variety shows in the 1950s. He also sang the theme song to the “Rawhide” series, which was broadcast from 1959 to 1966 and starred a young Clint Eastwood.
