This was a hit for Shirl as his debut solo release in October 1976 which peaked at No. 3 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Charts. (it did slightly better in terms of chart position than Brenda Holloway's original 1964 Motown release yet both versions are just as good) R.I.P. Shirl (1952-2001)
Every year I get a little bit more melancholy that I won't ever get to have a beer and a chat with this Aussie champion of a bloke ....
This song still gives me chills-Australias best ever rock voice & the soundtrack of my life. I still miss you so much Shirl, RIP wonderful man
Gee this brings back great memories , can anyone remember Shirls Neighbourhood a tv kids show he was fantastic

First time I've thought of this song just minutes ago and had to search for it so I could hear it again. Geez I miss these times and Shirl RIP 💔
Beautiful voice! 💖
Loved this when I was a kid. Different times!
I was 11 and on a kids camp on Rottnest and our camp chaperone Enza was totally in love with this song.
It seems like yesterday & it seems like forever. RIP Shirley!
Miss you Shirl, RIP.
the first love of my life

Give Shirl an arcade video game and he could have been another Last Starfighter.
In this clip he has an uncanny resemblance to Lance Guest.
To much Money Hurts it can kill .
yes Vertically Up
Lee burns
Sigh!
Looks a bit like the Last Starfighter here...
Kills ROBERT PLANT'S version! \m/ Rock In Peace Shirl!
A Leo Sayer song I think.
The song Leo "wishes" he had done.
Sounds like something Mick Jagger could have sung
Well, it was a cover but not the Stones
