The Sound of Music, one of Rodgers's and Hammerstein's best-known collaborations, contains a yodelling song, "The Lonely Goatherd," in which Mary Martin yodelled to good effect in the original production on Broadway in 1959.
Author Bart Plantenga wrote, "Dolores O'Riordan's voice is truly unique, to the point that, as with throat singers, you want to dissect her throat to inspect the physiological source of her enchanting yet discomfiting yodel-inflected vocals". The songs are about the mountains, nature and home, and also include issues such as freedom and independence.

Haley zoomed to fame as the "King of Rock and Roll" when his song " Rock Around the Clock" was featured in the popular film Blackboard Jungle in 1955, but it was little known that Haley and his band had been touring for years, performing Western swing music with Haley featured as a yodeler.

Critics dubbed his musical style "countrypolitan," due to its fusion of country music and a more sophisticated crooner vocal style.
