Aussie yodelling vocalist Frank Ifield bowed out of the UK album chart with this greatest hits package. Since he was to achieve no more major hits, this collection is a fitting testament to his brief high flying musical career. (UK:9)
"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 sing I Remember You. Every cut on this album rings the bell."
"Frank Ifield has an amazing voice and uses it with wonderful results. He has a tremendous range and control of his voice and uses it with great effect."
"Just beautiful. Question: where have all the great songwriters and artists gone? Seriously...what happened? I guess the music industry is ugly and all about controlling what we hear, what with them trying to stuff so many lame artists and songs down our throats. Thank God we can listen to music from yesteryear such as this."
"Frank sang beautifully, I remember him from when I was young in the 1950s and I was also listening to The Everly Brothers. These singers have much more dedication in them than today's music."
"Wonderful rendition of The Wayward Wind. This is one of my favourite songs, but I had never heard it with yodeling before. He really made this song his own."
"What can I say about Frank and his wonderful songs. His voice covers a great range from love songs to slightly quirky numbers."
"I can't recommend it more highly if you'd like an escape back to a happier time in your life. What a magnificent voice he has, and what a good looker."
