Frank Ifield sings "The Swiss Maid"

One of Frank's many hits featuring his excellent yodeling. A LITTLE BACKGROUND FOR THIS SONG: "Swiss Maid" had been written and recorded successfully by country humorist Roger Miller, who was not a yodeler, and when Miller met Frank he wanted to know why Frank hadn't recorded it! The song had been covered with resounding success by Del Shannon. Although a competent yodeler in his own right, Shannon had not yodeled the song so the way was still open for Frank to score another "first". And score it did -- Frank added the song into his stage show and it immediately became a highlight. He performed the song with similar arrangement to previous versions until the end of the song, where he added a Swiss-style "oompah" band to which he yodeled an authentic Bavarian style (not Swiss) yodel. At the end of the song he would gather the microphone cable into a lasso and swirl it above his head as he yodeled. The crowds loved it and the song generated standing ovation wherever Frank was showing. { Comments by multi award winner Bob Howe, Frank's musical director, renowned musician and my close friend. }
