    Saturday 30 June 1962

    Panel: Jenny Angeloglou, Jimmy Henney, Stubby Kaye, Miriam Karlin

    Producer: Johnnie Stewart

    Records played:
    Swinging Gently – Earl Grant (Brunswick) HIT

    Frank Ifield: “I know the panel voted I Remember You a resounding hit. I didn’t see it myself but I was working in Bristol and the audience told me about it. I sang I Remember You about four or five times that night so I suddenly felt like an overnight sensation.”
