The Moir Sisters - Good Morning How Are You? (1974)

[@oliviaraftopoulos6547]

this brought on tears in my eyes ....i was 14 in 1974 and i wish i could go back in time and relive it .... how simple life was then ..... not like today where the whole world is in a mess and evil all around us

[@LeopoldoNotarianni-rk9vv]

People thought differently too back then.

I was 10 years old, can't believe it's 50 years old, great memories with this song.

[@jogrant3851]

I was 14 and this song was so amazing. Those were great times, life was easy and stress free - little technology, the way it should have stayed. Loved seeing this again.

[@paulrogers7067]

This is or about to celebrate 50 years i Lost my anxiety Dog of 11 years i have another beautiful Kelpie called Lady Bird 🐦 i sing this to her every morning when she jumps on my bed for a pat and cuddle thanks moir sisters for your positive words 🙏🌹 cheers Stephen from QLD 🤠🐨🦘🎧✌️

[@johns9677]

get so melancholic and sad when i see this video. grew up on sydney's northern beaches in the 70"s, everyone knew everyone else, no snobs, aussie built cars, great pub scene (manly vale hotel) ,macca in the morning. Just a great time to be alive.....never to be seen again!!!

[@philipdartnell]

Such a beautiful song. I can't stop myself bursting into tears for a time now gone. I was 11 when this song came out and it just brings all the feelings of that joyous time rushing back. It was when 2SM was THE station in Sydney and we had so much joy, wonder and excitement. There's still plenty of that today but this sound just goes right to my heart and connects me to my youth and the family members no longer here.

[@charki40]

Me too Phillip. So many good memories. It was a great time to be alive.

A snapshot of Sydney in 74...I was only young about 6y/o...but i remember the music and simplicity of the times fondly..watching this makes me smile and sad in equal amounts

[@lesliefearn8278]

Another great memory from 74, I remember sitting on the beach one night by the fire with my transistor on shortwave, tuned into a Melbourne radio station, from Napier NZ,

[@BrassLock]

I share similar memories of those years, listening to Radio New Zealand among others, on Shortwave (from Perth).
The upside was the ethereal effect of the static and inconsistent signal strength which always added to the romance of Shortwave music 🎶 listening for me.
The downside now is that I have tinnitus from wearing my earphones too long, whilst drifting off to sleep 💤 😴

[@karmicselling4252]

[@alisonbell3561]

Fantastic song. I was 14 when this was on the charts and the images in this video- the fashions, cars, make up, etc, has made me really weepy for an era never to be seen again. The instrumental accompaniment and arrangement of this track is fantastic.

[@howardmarosi5569]

The video is so effective, yes. Fond memories of that time, too.

[@marloflip]

1974 I was in hospital for brain surgery. It was the worst year of my life. I was only thirteen. I was NOT happy. Later that year my parents split up.

[@Fuzcapp]

Heard this on a hits n memories radio station the other day. These girls deserved more recognition than they got - these harmonies are incredible. And seeing Ian Macrea again - blast from a Sydney youthful past ... even though i was a 2UW devotee during the great radio wars of the early 70s.

[@julietskobla2028]

This song is so beautiful yet sad, shame we didn't get much viewing of the sisters singing it, such beautiful girls but don't get to see them singing the whole song only bits & pieces, that's the sad part about it😥😥😥

Magnificent harmonies. Matched well with clarinet and orchestra. As good as I remebered. 5 Stars. (Also a window into the 70's with a seriously dated video clip.😃)

[@every1665]

One of my favourite under-rated, almost forgotten songs of the 70's. I was 14 in 1974 and this immediately conjures up memories of year nine high school life. Countdown had just started. Aunty Jack, glam rock bands from the UK, flared jeans, Abigale from Number 96 was a sex symbol, unemployment benefits were simply a matter of filling in a one-page form and we thought it would always be like this!

[@tmnl8037]

Beautiful harmonies and the true sound of 1970’s Australian music. Some awesome musicians played on their album. The late Ivan Hutchinson of Channel Seven had something to do with producing them, but they were on Channel Nine’s New Faces where they found favour with the record company that resulted in an album of songs. The only other band in the world with such beautiful harmonies is “The Corrs” from Ireland.

[@paullynch8316]

Used to be one of the 96Pm morning top Ten songs in Perth listening to this on the way to dropping my dad off to the boat going back to Rottnest island to work

[@ACDZ123]

6PM AM

[@Tikicat83]

I was 14 in 1974, and like others this is emotional to hear. The "girly" voices, the harmonies, the "innocence", the matching haircuts and the cute face of the youngest Moir, and the whole vid make this captivating. 1974 was also the year my dad committed suicide, so that made music of that year particularly poignant.

[@christinehendrix2080]

Just beautiful

[@grahamhill9157]

[@vid888vid]

I heard that the instrumental backing on this was by a musician/conductor permanently contracted to the Melbourne TV talent show that brought them to public exposure... But anyway, that instrumental backing is *absolutely* fitting... The horn/brass section and the compression/mix is just fantastic...
That vocal key change at 2.36 is PURE heaven... If you like it, be sure to check out work by the Rankin Family of Scottish Canada... Also heavenly stuff... ME: I had just turned 5 years old when this was on the radio... Special memories of wholesomeness and innocence.

[@deanharvey7556]

I believe that was Ivan Hutchinson.

[@philipdartnell]

It's a reminder to appreciate the moment. We look back with such fondness and nostalgia at a simpler time that represented so much of importance to us (youth, the family we grew up in, friends, places, culture). But there are equivalent things of meaning to us happening right now. I try to appreciate them fully while they're with me because one day it will be similar to the feelings this song and video clip create and (as hard as it is to imagine) 2022 will be missed!

It has taken me 3 weeks to find Margot Moirs' doppelganger again. I knew I had seen that face before, but not knowing the actress' name, it has taken a long time and a lot of viewing to find her. From .21 to .42 in this video, the tall sister - Margot, is identical to the British actress Deborah Findlay. The resemblance is astonishing! Deborah was born on 31st December 1947 in Leatherhead, Surrey, UK; and Margot was born in 1959 Scotland, and died in 2015 in Melbourne VIC. 12 years difference, but identical. Uncanny
