Frank Ifield DEAD (1 Viewer)

[VV]

The 60s crooner has passed away.

He probably won't have a lot of fans on here, but it's another #1 artist to add to the list.

He held some sort of chart record until the 80s at least, didn't he? I forget which, but I always remember seeing his name in the stats bit of the Guinness books.

Yodelling has only had sporadic revivals since. RIP.

Who's the oldest living UK chart topper at this point?

Bob Stanley from Saint Etienne tweeted about Jane Morgan recently, who is 100 years old and seemingly still around. Can anyone top that?

There is another thread somewhere with people who have had #1 hits and died, isn't there? Not sure if it's been updated.

This is the sort of thing Eileen would be able to answer instantly.

I suspect she's the oldest, purely because almost all the surviving no.1 acts of her era were much younger than her.
