    Not everyone appreciated him but I thought he was an amazing talent and thank God he was one of ours. Nothing like Aussie talent.

    When this came out I would never have heard it because it was not played on the mainstream Radio stations as far as I am aware. I was at a disco and the DJ put this on.
    I asked him what it was and bought it the next day. It languished on the fringes of the charts here in the UK. He was born in England, a real talent, a very powerful song, sang powerfully as well which deserved much, much more recognition.
    Yes the music at the time was very strong but this song was still deserving a to be a number one in the charts and recognised as one of the greatest songs and performances of the decade and since as well
