    One of the Aussie Immortals of that 60s to 70s era... but Russell's songs weren't just pop songs to be forgotten. He is responsible for several of the most epic tracks of their time. Deserved worldwide recognition and got some but deserved so much more.

      It is incredible how much Russell's magical voice appealed to little kids back then.
      I remember a little two yr old toddler whose eyes would open wide when she heard him singing on the TV She would rush in yelling
      " Wussell Mowiss ! " over and over then sit down right in front of the screen with a rapt smile, swaying with tears rolling down her face like a teenage groupie. It's like his clear, beautiful notes bring on some kind of natural spiritual connection that even young innocents can feel.

Had I known how iconic all these bands would become, I would have gone Thurs - Sunday. Russell was amazing live!

    This song would have to be my most favourite and reminds me of my very early teens. It takes me back to places where l remember hearing it.

    Mmm just done some math
    Been singing this song for as long as I’ve been alive
    And seen him play it in concert just recently
    Still rocks it
    Just gets better like a fine wine with age go the real thing
