Music legend Frank Ifield dies who was household name in UK
The Australian singer died peacefully in his sleep on Saturday night. His friend, music historian and journalist Glenn A. Baker, shared the news on Facebook.
Baker wrote: "I just took a call from David Ifield, telling me that his brother FRANK IFIELD peacefully passed on this Saturday night, at age 86. There is so much to be said about this remarkable man, who had four number ones in Britain, three of them before the Beatles (who he had briefly support him in concert).
"I Remember You became an indelible hit all around the world and a perfect signature song. It topped the U.K. charts for 7 weeks."
"This is not the time to say any more than my thoughts are with Frank's brothers and his wife Carole and to say how fortunate I was to see him earlier this year. I'm still gathering my thoughts."
By the age of 19, he had already released a staggering 44 records and was the top recording artist in Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania. He then made the move to London in 1959, where he quickly became an international sensation after scoring four number-one hits on the UK singles chart: I Remember You, Lovesick Blues, The Wayward Wind, and Confessin' That I Love You.
It was during this period that he gave The Beatles their big break by having them open for him, exposing the Liverpool lads to his massive fanbase and helping to kickstart their careers.
