Frankie McBride (born 1944, Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland)[1] is an Irish country and folk singer, who rose to stardom in the second half of the 1960s.
McBride's hit single, "Five Little Fingers", reached No. 2 on the Irish charts[2] and No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart in 1967.[3] A full-length self-titled album hit No. 29 on the UK Albums Chart the following year.[3] The song was noted for its blending of rock and roll and country, a trend which became increasingly acceptable to mainstream audiences in the late 1960s.[4]
McBride also recorded an album of gospel music in Nashville, Tennessee with Gloria Smith in 1981.[5]
