Vince chatted with #FrankIfield. In his Early years Frank Ifield moved with his Australian parents to Dural, 50 km (30 miles) from Sydney, about 1946. It was a rural district and he listened to #hillbilly music while milking the cows. He learned how to #yodel in imitation of country stars like Hank Snow. At the age of thirteen he recorded "Did You See My Daddy Over There?", and by the age of 19 was the number one recording star in #Australia and #New ealand. He returned to the UK in 1959. The hits His first record in the UK was "Lucky Devil" (1960) which got to number 22 in the UK charts. "I Remember You" which topped the charts for seven weeks in 1962. Known for Ifield's falsetto and a slight yodel, it became the top-selling single of that year and was one of the first million sellers within the UK alone.
