Thanks for this song. I loved Frank's and Del Shannon's versions equally. They remind me of when i was young, fit, had a heart that worked properly, had hair, and was not social outcast.
Don't feel bad. I get thousands of contacts yearly from fans who inform me they love Frank. Many from young people who were not old enough to follow him during the 1960's, 70's and 80's when he was touring internationally as well as older folks who are steadfast fans. Seems these days there is a wave of young people who have great music taste and enjoy Frank's songs.
just to let you know frank ifield never released this record it was del shannons version that was released in 62 got to number 2 in australia not sure how it done over here
Frank DID release Swiss Maid many years ago.Frank had to stop singing in the 1980s due an operation that severely affected his voice. But, in recent years, at the encouragement of others, he has digitally remastered many of his early original vinyl recordings onto CD discs.You will find the remastered version of Frank singing The Swiss Maid on the 3 disc box set titled FRANK IFIELD THE COMPLETE A-SIDES AND B-SIDES. Swiss Maid is song number 19 on CD THREE.
Just stumbled across this !! Absolutely brilliant......my first record I had bought to me was Frank Ifields "I remember you" but I also had an LP with a lot of these yodelling songs sung by Frank.That was in the very early 60s when I was about 11yrs old .This is bringing back some sentimental memories of my mum and dad who bought me my first Dansette Record player!! Keep up the good work.
I had to redo this video as, after many months of successful playing, the older version began shrinking causing the widths to be too narrow. Sorry. The older version had 11,660 hits when I replaced it. I Also regret that the remake caused all of the very nice comments to be lost. With this remake we must start again from scratch.
Great Posting and a Great Entertainer !! When live music really was " LIVE" .. great stuff !

Never heard of Frank before. Guess because he mainly performed in
Australia and England.
Such a lot of energy. And he looks like he's having so much fun.
He has a web site w/ a bio and CDs for sale.
Tnx for the yodeling post.

I'd say mid-70s, judging by the clothes. Although if this is in Australia, probably not that long ago...
