Frank Ifield, who helped give The Beatles their first big break and who enjoyed four No1 hits in the UK, passed away in his sleep at the weekend aged 86

Music legend Frank Ifield, who helped give The Beatles their start in the industry, has died of the age of 86.

He posted: "I just took a call from David Ifield, telling me that his brother FRANK IFIELD peacefully passed on this Saturday night, at age 86. There is so much to be said about this remarkable man, who had four number ones in Britain, three of them before the Beatles . I Remember You became an indelible hit all around the world and a perfect signature song. It topped the U.K. charts for 7 weeks.

He then went on to share images of Frank with Alan Lancaster of Status Quo, Eric Burdon, John Rowles, Frankie Davidson, Mary Schneider, Nicki Gillis, Keith Potger, Wayne Horsburgh and Glenn himself. By the time he was 19 he had released 44 records and was the top recording artist in Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania. He then moved to London in 1959, where he proceeded to become an international household name after he had four number-one hits on the UK singles chart: I Remember You, Lovesick Blues, The Wayward Wind, and Confessin’ That I Love You.
