”It accompanied me to school one day, where the headmaster encouraged me to adapt Australian poetry to my own tunes and then perform them to the class,” he said on his website.
As a teenager, he began performing and quickly made a name for himself in Australia. He became something of a star in his homeland and set his sights on achieving international success.
”I was still going to school, and my dad wasn’t giving me a lot of encouragement at that point as he thought showbusiness was too precarious. I pursued my dream, and what I wanted to do, and it worked. He was quite happy with it in the end,” Frank told the Westerner Magazine.
In 1959, Frank returned to England, and it wasn’t long before his unique talent captured the hearts of the British public. With chart-topping hits like ”I Remember You,” ”Lovesick Blues,” ”The Wayward Wind,” and ”Confessin’ That I Love You,” Frank soared to stardom, reaching the top of the UK charts and becoming a beloved figure in the music world.
