Episode 884: RIP Frank Ifield

Frank Ifield's first UK single, "Lucky Devil" (January 1960), reached No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart. His next six singles had less commercial success, but he had his first UK number-one hit with a cover version of a 1941 composition "I Remember You" (May 1962), which topped the charts for seven weeks. Known for Ifield's falsetto and a slight yodel, it was the second highest-selling single of that year in the UK, and became the seventh million-selling single. I was fortunate to meet Frank over the airwaves on my radio show
