RIP Frank Ifield

[Martin.A]

Sad to hear that another singer who graced the charts in my early teens has passed away, aged 86. Frank appears on a couple of 1960s compilation albums I have - I Remember You, Lovesick Blues, Confessin' - those of you of my generation will remember him. He was well-known for including a little yodelling in his singing.

Sad to lose people who formed part of the soundtrack of our lives

I wonder if the yodelling was a Hank Williams influence, or part of a wider tradition?
