Don't know much about Slim Whitman but I have listened to Frank Ifield for 50 years and I have heaps of tapes, C.Ds etc. and so I am still listening to Frank. He is the best. I have got our radio station playing at least 4 of his songs now. They only used to play one which was I remember you. Great singer, great guy. Done some really nice monologues as well. Long may he reign.
