Blue Skies was Frank Ifield's third and final top twenty LP of new recordings. His choice of material was becoming a little outmoded with the rise of beat groups delivering a more dynamic R & B based sound. (UK:10)
"Frank Ifield's sound was so unique. An Englishman from Australia, his music was very special to me from the very first time I heard him."
"What mastery of voice he displays - his effortless glissando or portamento into and out of falsetto is simply breathtaking."
"Frank Ifield was a little before The Beatles so he just had his talent to ride on not the whole British Invasion. He sounds like early American country music. Well worth a listen."
"While the man could certainly carry a nice tune, it seems his stage presence was a bit wooden."
"He was my first pop idol before The Beatles came along. Much underrated, although he had at least three Number 1 hits in the UK."
