My heart throb when I was 16! I met my first love standing by the juke box, and this gorgeous boy whispered over my shoulder as I was trying to decide what to play "Play I remember you"............It became our song!!
If I had heard his singing a long time ago I forgot about it. I recently found him on TH-cam and I thought and think he is one of the absolute best singers in the English speaking world. He had such a beautiful voice. The interview would have been a lot better if the interviewer had allowed Frank Ifield to answer all of the questions he asked. But, he kept cutting Frank off. I'm glad to see that he is still alive and I hope he is in good health.
In 2019 my 85 year old Dad ( whom I adored) had become bedridden after a fall, and I spent the afternoon with him, sat on the bedroom floor, trying to think of ways to cheer him up, so I decided to introduce him to " the Internet " You can just choose any song you like Dad, anything from the past 85 years, and within seconds I can let you listen to it on my phone! I could tell he didn't really believe me, but after a few moments of thinking he said how about " I remember you, by Frank Ifield?" I wish I'd taken a photo of his amazement and joy as the first few bars started to play, and we sat blissfully together, listening to this song that had been released in 1962, the year before I was born. It wasn't until a month later when my precious Dad passed away, and those lyrics entered my head one night " when my life is through, and the angels ask me to recall, the thrill of it all...I will tell them I remember, tell them I remember.. .tell them I remember you...that I realised the true, beautiful, poignant memory of that moment and the wonderful comforting lyrics of what is now my favourite song❤😊xx
I had the extreme honour and pleasure of meeting Frank at the London Palladium in 1963. Such a genuine gentleman. Fantastic singer .Love all his songs.
nestahale I met him exactly a week ago in Windsor. ( actually 2 years ago in real time, but this interview was 17 may 2017 and I met him on 9th May 2017. I was parked in the corridor after wAtching his shownwhilst my daughter went upstairs to the foyer. A door opened and put came Frank, he walked over to me, took both my hands in his and held them whilst we spoke for about 10 minutes. Such a kind man and I am happy to say that he was my first “love” way back in 1962/3. It has never worn off. 😊 I suppose I will have to wash my hands again one day, but in the meantime ...
Oh my!! Tell Mr. Ifield his beautiful "I Remember You" affected me much in 1962. A haunting beautiful melody; killer lyrics. I loved your yodeling (I hail from near Kentucky)...and your lovely voice in general. The song has lingered for this half century. Thank you.
Me too! Although I sang this to myself more in the 1970s than the 60s. Now, in these troubled times, I remember this song and it takes me outta here for just a little while.
What a lovely man (and legend) and still alive I believe. Nearly 85 living in Dural near Sydney. Does he still give concerts? Love to see him if he ever comes to Melbourne
The Man himself! Love out to ya Frank & thanks for that brilliant recording! An absolute Beauty! All time fave and a desert Island song for me! Cheers!
Ah.. Lovely Frank Highfield. My mum bought 'I remember you' before we even had a record player to play it on.. Lol.. She loved him, as did we all. 🙂💜👌🇬🇧
Frank Ifield sung the best song ever........Waltzing Matilda, im 56 and it`s Still my favorite song.....and given that i also adore the Clash, Floyd, pistols, Cream, Genesis, Thin Lizzy,Jethro,Oasis, super tramp, Bush, plus more but I still Love good old Frank..plus Sinatra, Elvis and Tom...I could go on..
Comment on humour interesting. The writer Upton Sinclair ends one of his chapters in a book I read, can't remember the context, Who said the English don't have a sense of humour?!
"I Remember You" helped me to deal with a hard time in my life. I was 14 and had serious kidney problems. I was downcast and couldn't understand why did this happen to me. I had one of those crystal radios shaped like a rocket ship. The antenna was in the nose and it had a long wire clip that I fastened to the window screen next to my hospital bed. This was in Abilene, Texas at Hendricks Memorial Hospital. One night I picked up a radio station and you were singing that song and I thought to my self this guy has a great voice. The song stuck with me all these years. I'm 75 now and still kicking. But I want to thank you for that song. Back then I could hit the high notes like you. You really gave me a lot of great memories with your voice and songs! God bless you. Have all your records.
I was crazy about Frank Ifield as a 15 year old schoolgirl and bought all of his records. What a lovely man he still is. Pity the interviewer hadn't done his homework. Frank behaved like a true gent.
My mum absolutely loved Frank. So much so that she bought his single I REMEMBER YOU before we even had a record player to play it on. We still laugh at that even now in the family. Lovely man, lovely voice. 🙂💜👌
Lovely seeing this. l went to see Frank at the Liverpool Empire in 1963, l can see him now up on stage in his ‘ lovely suit’ loved every minute if it. My mum and l saw a lot of live performances that were round at that time either at the Empire or the Pavillion. l was 5 years old when l first saw a live performance, a panto at the Empire, my mum’s love of music is what started it all for me as l continued throughout my life going to see live acts. Going on this ‘nostalgia trip’ through You Tube has brought wonderful memories back. l am now off to find Frankie Vaughan now, another fabulous live performer l saw back in the day. It was a privilege to see all these people perform.
There is a funny story, supposedly true directly from Iris Caldwell(Tony Sheridan's sister), that Paul McCartney and Frank were both after Iris. Her first kiss was George Harrison(in early innocent grade school). Anyway, Paul surprisingly bought two expensive front row seats to Frank's concert and naturally asked Iris to go. Hoping Frank would not notice them, they sat low...Frank did notice, but sang bravely. Frank dedicated the last song to Iris and with his right foot kicked the stage light directly at Paul and sang "Put Your Sweet Lips a Little Closer to the Phone(He'll Have to Go). Pretty cool!
In the 70s my mum loved Frank Ifield. I worked for a dentist Mr Hemphill in Willesden Green and one evening our last patient (I was a dental nurse going to school to be a hygienist) of the day was Frank Ifield. -He seemed really nice and I was new to that particular dental surgery- Cliff Richard was a patient also and his mum and her husband whom I believe was originally Cliff's chauffeur. The Blue Bell girls also came to see us. Great times!
My brothers and I bought the song on a 45 called "I Remember You" in 1963..We used to lip-sing to the song..This is before the Beatles..We still love the song and we still sing it..Thanks Frank for your great voice..
I bought an album in Africa...Frank on one side and the Beetles on the other ! Of course my mother gave it away...of course...as she had no value for music ...just gold bangles and such. Sure that album would be valuable today. But I am now hungry every month and no one wants my mother's damn gold bangles !! Bet that album is worth quite a bit now !! So be it...just people should listen up and not be so damn uppity about what is valued.
meet frank ifield at palm grove tea rooms paraparaumu nz my uncle aunty owned and had shows he was a lovely entertainer held with me rest of my life what a lovely person now was only 13 14yrs at time
I had the pleasure of meeting the gentleman, Frank Ifield, on 9th May 2017 after his show in Windsor. I told him a small anecdote from when I was 11 and I heard I Remember You, then managed to peep round the settee to watch him on The London Palladium. At which point I beat my chest and declared " me woman" 🤣 Frank laughed when he heard my little story and if you see this sir, well, hello again! 🌹

So glad he's still around!! I remember youuuuuuu!!!!!!!
God bless Frank my mother loved you and your songs xx
RIP Frank. Top man, great singer, Total respect. 💚💜❤
What a lovely man (and legend) and still alive I believe. Nearly 85 living in Dural near Sydney. Does he still give concerts? Love to see him if he ever comes to Melbourne
The Man himself! Love out to ya Frank & thanks for that brilliant recording! An absolute Beauty! All time fave and a desert Island song for me! Cheers!
How embarrassing was that interviewer, honestly Frank Ifield is a very intelligent man,
Elevated him by referring to him as Sinatra rather than apologizing??? British radio hosts full of their own voice are such jerks.
He possessed talent and an engaging personality that crossed borders around the world. We remember you,
Frank!!
always been a fan . Still am. Keep it up Frank.
Thoroughly nice guy.good to see him still with us, saw him in the 60's on a B&W set.
RIP Frank Ifield
Thank,s for posting very good .
I have never heard such a rude, uninformed interviewer! Good on you Mr. Ifield for smiling through it!
Totally agree with the below comment. As a broadcaster in radio for 40+ years, do your research FFS.
My late mum thought Frank was lovely bless her,she had good taste
Mr.Williams please take a breath and listen to the answer before you interrupt.
Ah.. Lovely Frank Highfield. My mum bought 'I remember you' before we even had a record player to play it on.. Lol.. She loved him, as did we all. 🙂💜👌🇬🇧
Amazing singer, such a let down that the host doesnt know anything about him
RIP Frank
19/5/24 RIP Frank

What an annoying interrupting interviewer?
I think the "Tremelos" are still out there....

Why doesn't he let Frank finish his sentences?
They’re so addicted to talking they can’t bear to take breaks. How about him hushing Frank, though?
I was crazy about Frank Ifield as a 15 year old schoolgirl and bought all of his records. What a lovely man he still is. Pity the interviewer hadn't done his homework. Frank behaved like a true gent.
Yes,a real Gent x
What in your opinion is his most melodious song? It may not be yodling number.
Yea me too grew up with his 60s hits
What a very nice person. Frank comes across as a real gentleman.
I have loved him forever, Have his LP's still. Great to see you Frank. I hope you are keeping well in oct. 2021 Australia :)
May Frank rest in peace."I remember you."
I'd like to thank Frank Ifield for a fabulous collection of music which we are still playing today! Loved your voice....still do.
My mum absolutely loved Frank. So much so that she bought his single I REMEMBER YOU before we even had a record player to play it on. We still laugh at that even now in the family. Lovely man, lovely voice. 🙂💜👌
Respect dear Frank! Crikey, that DJ liked his own voice! Shame Frank didn’t get to talk more, Mr. Ifield, a true legend.

Damn, he looks great! And so vital at 80. How inspiring.
Great interview and what lovely man
YES INDEED !
this is a great interview. Long live Frank
Hey Frank Ifield....My brothers and I have all your songs on CD/DVD too!! You have a phenomenal great "Voice"..thank you
There is a funny story, supposedly true directly from Iris Caldwell(Tony
Sheridan's sister), that Paul McCartney and Frank were both after Iris.
Her first kiss was George Harrison(in early innocent grade school).
Anyway, Paul surprisingly bought two expensive front row seats to
Frank's concert and naturally asked Iris to go. Hoping Frank would not
notice them, they sat low...Frank did notice, but sang bravely. Frank
dedicated the last song to Iris and with his right foot kicked the stage
light directly at Paul and sang "Put Your Sweet Lips a Little Closer to
the Phone(He'll Have to Go). Pretty cool!
Alive and well and still going strong. I used to listen to him and sing along with him when I was a boy, good memories. Bless you Frank.
Saw Frank a few weeks ago in Wimborne. I’m in love with him all over again. Come back soon Frank.
I remember opening the front door to frank ifield my hair in curlers He was courting a girl that lodged in the house She was a bunny girl 1963
Tony,Give Frank a chance to speak!!
In the 70s my mum loved Frank Ifield. I worked for a dentist Mr Hemphill in Willesden Green and one evening our last patient (I was a dental nurse going to school to be a hygienist) of the day was Frank Ifield. -He seemed really nice and I was new to that particular dental surgery- Cliff Richard was a patient also and his mum and her husband whom I believe was originally Cliff's chauffeur.

Great.I'm glad to have found this video .He has got a fabullous voice.
I bought an album in Africa...Frank on one side and the Beetles on the other ! Of course my mother gave it away...of course...as she had no value for music ...just gold bangles and such. Sure that album would be valuable today. But I am now hungry every month and no one wants my mother's damn gold bangles !! Bet that album is worth quite a bit now !! So be it...just people should listen up and not be so damn uppity about what is valued.
We need to dress more posh. I love I Remember You. Beautiful song.
I can remember doing a show in the South of England, Frank was there along with George Hamilton IV. Great Festival. Wonderful Memories.

“How did you manage?” Frank was too modest, all the acts at that time had, missing nowadays, talent.
