Frank Ifield: The hits
He first record in Britain was "Lucky Devil" (1960) which only got to number 22. His next six records were less successful, but he finally broke through with "I Remember You" in 1961. It was the first record to sell one million copies within the UK alone. It reached number 5 in the USA, and was #1 in the US country charts. It had a slight yodel on it. His next single was a double A-side: "Lovesick Blues" and "She Taught Me How To Yodel". "Lovesick Blues" was originally sung by Hank Williams and was treated in an upbeat "Let's Twist Again" style. The other song is a virtuoso piece of yodelling with the final verse - entirely yodelling - sung at double-speed. It reach no 44 in the USA. His next hit, "Wayward Wind", made him the first person to reach number one three times in succession. His other recordings include "Nobody's Darling but Mine", "Confessin'", "Mule Train" and "Don't Blame Me". In 1963 he sang at the Grand Ole Opry, introduced by one of his heroes, Hank Snow. Many of his records were produced by Norrie Paramor.
