When I was traveling through West Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain and Italy over 45 years ago, I remembered this song being played on the radio. John Paul Young has always had a magnetic and incredible voice. He was Australia’s and even Europe’s answer to Bob Seger, Glenn Frey, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond and so on.
This was such a great song that stands out in my youthful memory. Australia in 1975 was such an amazing place, we don't what we had until we lost it. Makes me so sad!
JPY was massive in South Africa. I was 5 years old when this song released. I'm now 52. Like you, I am very sad that my country has gone to shit as well. As a fellow commonwealth country you are far better off than we are. Enjoy it mate & don't lose the memories.
Massive hit in South Africa at the time! Springbok Radio Top 20 - David Gresham (Keep your feet on the ground and reach for the stars!) Wow 45/50 years ago already!
Still remember the legendary David Gresham abd Peter Feldman. Still missing the Sprinbok Radio especially the 4 : 30 special and the Sourh African Top 20.
this happens all the time, a song pops into my head and stays there, then i look it up and always they were released when i was younger than 6. I would have been 4 and a bit in Feb '75. That's a pretty catchy tune.
I remember him touring South Africa. He threatened to stop one concert because there were so many SA girls throwing their panties onto the stage. That was in the 70's.
Yesterday's hero that's all U going to be ,when U walk down the street if U sorry don't feel BAD , U are my Yesterday's Hero ..😝😛😜 this song is for Mat sev. Ha ha ha 😜
Another cool Vanda and Young tune. Obviously shot on the same day as Stevie Wright's "Black Eyed Bruiser" clip. You can also see the Stevie Wright Band logo on the drums here too: ua-cam.com/video/TuY-EnoKfBg/v-deo.html
On that day in Sydney we did JPY Yesterday’s Hero, Stevie Wright Black Eyed Bruiser & ACDC High Voltage. ua-cam.com/video/Nnjh-zp6pP4/v-deo.html All Star Band, Johnny Dick drums, Ronnie Peel bass, Kevin Borich guitar, Ian Winter guitar & Warren Morgan keyboards. ACDC we’re running ‘late’ & asked if they could use All Star gear. All 3 clips had same lighting & it might have been the first time this was done, film the songs live, then do the close ups in studio. Johnny Dick, always the pop star wanted more water spray to look like he was grafting hard. The hardest part was getting the All Star Band to remember what they wore on the live clip. Great band, great daze. R.I.P. Stevie, Bon, Ian, J.D., Malcolm & Gerry Georgettis (Road crew All Star Band)
Wellington shire in Australia not new Zealand Woodside.. Yeah the cult got too me but I survived what they did unfortunately the others did not, mess and scared up I am and yes I did and was thee and yes we did....
Its Monash Clayton Melbourne in the ole part underneath known as the basement thanks I survived 4 others didn't in a coma and no one came so i got wealthy with bitcoin all 3 colours... Hence 3 coins in fountain hence the farkin right door is 3 and I am still Waiting too go home with all my things that everyone knocked off thanks for nothing.

@@skyewalker7773 big hit in southern africa in 1977.
You are so right. The 70s was the best
I lived through the Seventies in Australia and it is a much better country now than it has ever been. Australia's best years are ahead of it.
Fond memories of this song playing at the local disco, circa 1975 Australia 🇦🇺 oh how free and laid back was our wonderful country
Just Fucking Brilliant!!!!!!!!!
Rock & Roll doesn't come much better than this,from a period of time when they produced real songs.Never goes out of style.
My sister's liked john Paul Young ,this is for U
Good top song 😊
Another classic tune from Harry and George❤️

4 and 3/4 here
I was 9...life was so simple and everything was so beautiful till i turned 17 🙄..
I was 9 when i saw this on countdown loved it then and love it now fantastic song 💞
Vanda and Young were the Lennon and MacCartney of Australia.....
Probably like harder rock n role vibe tho
Lennon & McCartney were the Vanda & Young of the UK.
Except Lennon and McCartney only had half the hits
I was a DJ in various hotels in Durban, South Africa when this was a hit. Great memorable song.
I remember him touring South Africa. He threatened to stop one concert because there were so many SA girls throwing their panties onto the stage. That was in the 70's.
@@tonynz9954 That's a reason to stop a concert ??? .. To me, that's a reason to book extra dates on the tour ! 😉🤣
@@wayne_twentyfive Must have been plenty of girls going home after the concert with cold bottoms.😂
@@tonynz9954 The smarter girls would have worn 2 pairs of panties .. One to throw on stage and one for keeps ! 🤣
🤣🤣🤣@@wayne_twentyfive
