elton britt ran fro president against jfk in 1960... read more about it in my forthcoming book YODEL IN HIFI.. he is one of the greats and was also profiled in my earlier book YODEL-AY-EE-OOOO: The Secret History of Yodeling Around the World. thanx for posting.
Very grateful to actually SEE the person whose records I have collected for 35 years. iTunes actually has the great Bear Family collection "Yodel Songs" by Elton Britt at an attractive price!
Elton Britt is the greatest yodeler of all time. This soundie is a great rare find, but not very representative of his ability. His yodel was clear as a bell, he could hit extremely high notes and hold them for an insanely long time. His yodel is the standard by which all other yodels are measured. Thank you very much for posting this rare treat.
Rather rare footage, yes ? Quite fascinating !! What I see & hear .. I LIKE !!
Nice posting. Congrats, Mitch !! P.S. I've got a CD, full of old-time yodelling songs & artists .. e.g. Eddy Arnold, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, Gene Autry, Hank Snow, even Hank Williams, + many lesser-known artists. Yet Elton Britt is not on that collection .. making this posting even more collectable as a favourite. Thanx again !!
Why am I surprised to see he looks so young? (And Johnny Gimble is in there somewhere...) Brings new meaning to singing for your supper (or breakfast in this case!)

I think Kenny Robert's would give him a run for his money.
