Frank Ifield Autobiography - Volume One
I Remember Me - The First 25 years
PREFACE (from the book)
This biographic book depicts my first 25 years; the full story has taken more than a decade to write and has turned out far too large for one volume.
Yet even this first part might not have materialised at all had it not been for my friend and musical director Bob Howe. Bob loved to hear 'behind the scenes' stories and urged me to write them down as the story of my life. Non-stop touring around the world made my life too hectic back then to attempt such a mind-boggling project. Then fate intervened and during an enforced recuperation following my hospitalisation in Australia, my brother Colin took upon himself an important role as 'Dr Fix-it'. He believed, quite rightly, that jotting down my memoirs, while teaching me to use a computer, would also prove therapeutic for my grey-matter; the therapy worked and although it was done purely for that reason, it nevertheless spawned the book's humble beginnings...
