The tragic passing of a music icon

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of Frank Ifield, a beloved music icon and household name in the UK. Frank Ifield played a pivotal role in the early success of the Beatles and left an indelible mark on the music industry. He peacefully passed away at the age of 86, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.

Frank Ifield’s long-time friend, music historian, and journalist Glenn A. Baker shared the news of his passing on social media. Baker fondly remembers Ifield as a remarkable man, who had four number one hits in Britain, three of them before the Beatles. In fact, the Beatles had briefly supported Frank Ifield in concert.

One of Ifield’s most popular songs, “I Remember You,” became a global sensation and topped the UK charts for an impressive seven weeks. It served as a perfect signature song for the talented musician.

Born in Coundon, UK, in November 1937, Frank Ifield’s family moved to Australia when he was just three years old. It was there that his love for music blossomed. At the age of 13, Ifield received a guitar from his grandmother and started writing his own songs.

In 1959, Frank Ifield made the decision to return to the UK, where he became a true sensation. Four of his hits reached the top of the charts, solidifying his status as a music icon.

Ifield’s talent even caught the attention of the late Queen, as he performed at the Royal Variety Show in 1965.

Unfortunately, in 1986, Frank Ifield was diagnosed with pneumonia. As a result, doctors had to remove a part of his lung, which greatly affected his vocal cords and singing career. Despite this setback, Ifield’s impact on the music industry continued to be recognized.

In 2009, he was inducted into the Aria Music Awards’ Hall of Fame, and he was presented with a Medal of the Order of Australia for his outstanding contributions to the arts as an entertainer.

Tributes from fans and friends poured in following the news of Frank Ifield’s passing. Radio host Luke Davies expressed his sadness and shared his memories of playing Ifield’s songs on the radio. Columnist and close friend Pete Chambers also offered his condolences and remembered Ifield as both a legendary musician and an extraordinary human being.

Frank Ifield’s legacy will live on in the hearts of his fans and in the music he created. May he rest in peace.
