Performed live to air in stereo from Studio 2 at Sydney's TCN Channel 9 in 1985 and broadcast nationally. Live band and vocals supplemented by Geoff Harvey's orchestra (off camera).
R.I.P. Mr. Douglas Parkinson. I just heard your BEAUTIFUL rendition of "Everything Must Change" and INSTANTLY fell in love with your voice.....I immediately checked you out, finding out just now, LITERALLY, that you passed away, JUST 3 YEARS AGO!!! I am SO shocked and saddened! My Sincere Condolences at this late date to your family and friends. As I delve into your life and discography, it is my fervent hope that in doing so that I, along with your family and multitude of fans will prove that, even though you may be physically gone from this earth, you are STILL living, through your music in our hearts and soul . May God Bless You And Give You Eternal Peace😮😢❤🎉🎉🎉❤
Perhaps, his presentation maybe wasn't suited to the era, bit his voice, powerful and correctly expressive, and the selection of songs he sang could have been a bit more mature for t he pop era in Australia at the time, bit I loved him
Australian Music has always been the best.It has always had a great feel about it,just like how Aussies were and how they always presented themselves it was just who they were. All the great bands of the 60s,70s, 80s.are.Great days.Wish I had a time machine!! The world seemed a better place.
Just heard the devastating news. Damn rest well Doug . Your voice your swag was legendary in the Australian and international music scene . As a proud Aussie I loved you brought soul and rnb to the scene and always a pioneer 🙏🏾
VALE DOUG PARKINSON Condolences to.your family and loved ones. Gone to Soon. Thank you for your music and Australia has lost an amazing talent. thank you for the music. R.I.P A TRUE AUSSIE 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
Sorry my wording was incorrect. I meant to say Doug is a world class artist. Doug will live forever in our hearts, his wonderful voice will be heard in Heaven now. 🙏
Still hard to believe this amazing man had passed...His talent was under-rated, so powerful and strong...so sadly missed ..One of his best although all his songs were great. 💔💔💔
His timing and phrasing was amazing..and that voice . He danced those lyrics all around the music effortlessly. How lucky was i able to see and enjoy amazing aussie music of the 70s and 80s.
I have to get my wording right especially now after the extremely sad passing of such a wonderful man. Superstar is an understatement. Doug is a WORLD class ARTIST.
His voice had balls, and power, and he played with when he sang words against the music behind him and then caught up, he was a gem of a singer, and he deserves better recognition
A truly brilliant singer. His version of "The Hungry Years" and "I'll be around" were, IMHO, better than the originals. Never saw him live - wish I had. RIP. Big guy - bigger voice.
RIP Doug Parkinson, your voice and your name still resonate in these ears. Fondly. But young men of today shouldn't listen to this song, it's relevant only to very far-gone times. Do not be a s i m p.
Unbelievable that you are gone. I follow u on fb and would love reading your posts, you were always such a gentleman with your posts and ironically only posted your condolences and shock on the passing of Michael Gudinski a few weeks ago, yet you are now gone. Tragic. You had such a HUGE voice & it never faltered and just got better as u got older. R.I.P Doug
I loved Doug Parkinson! What a voice he had! He was underrated! He should have got more acknowledgment ! So glad l met him, and Max Merritt together when they performed together many years ago, and had a nice chat with them, now they are both gone. May they both RIP ❤🙏
Congratulations to TCN technicians for the sound mix quality here, it's difficult to do in a large room with a split band and distances between players...Super job. And Doug, well what can be said; except World Class.
Perhaps the greatest unsung Aussie bassist. R.I.P. Duncan..your wonderful melodic playing alongside Mark's inventive drumming has stood the test of time - best rhythm section this country has produced. Bar none.

R.I.P. Doug Parkinson. What a legend and what a voice that will live forever.
Probably one of the most talented yet underrated singers in Australian musical history. Was amazing in Jesus Christ Superstar.
yeah.. i had the pleasure of meeting and having his autograph
Love the version of Dear Prudence by Doug Parkinson & I could listen to it all day.
we second that.
One of the most under appreciated singers period. Dude was awesome.
The best voice - a legend👍

Caught in a Skyhooks Kiss etc theatrics era with a motown R&B God blessed voice.

Agree plus a unique sound and energy
No pretence, raw honesty and vibe always comes through. We’re not good at “putting it on”
What a voice, this was a northern soul anthem in the UK in the 80’s, amazing vocals
What a legend! Most powerful voice and presence in Australian music. A hard act to follow for the ensuing generation of Australian performers!
What a tremendous loss, RIP Doug Parkinson awesome singer and a gentle man, with a powerful voice.
The late Duncan McGuire doing a superb job on the bass. RIP mate.

This is the song I was looking for for ages
I found a few others but dougs was the voice I remembered from the radio when I was a kid
Memory eternal
wow - what a great performance and they are actually playing and not miming as was the case with just about everyone else
He was one of the nicest and friendly most sincere guys I ever met in the Australian music industry.
His timing and phrasing was amazing..and that voice .
He danced those lyrics all around the music effortlessly.
How lucky was i able to see and enjoy amazing aussie music of the 70s and 80s.
Fantastic Talent. RIP Doug.
You will be missed
Superstar is an understatement. Doug is a would class musical ARTIST.
I have to get my wording right especially now after the extremely sad passing of such a wonderful man. Superstar is an understatement. Doug is a WORLD class ARTIST.
Broadcast nationally, live to air TV. You couldn't fake the talent of Doug Parkinson. Thankfully we have this video.
Damn I love this song. RIP Doug
I'm devastated, I was going to one of the upcoming shows. :) RIP you legend.
Such a great song with uplifting music.
Great Vocalist l did see him many times at the Crock Melb AU's.
Great singer. R.I.P.
Still absolutely awesome....such a sad loss...😢😢😢😢
His voice had balls, and power, and he played with when he sang words against the music behind him and then caught up, he was a gem of a singer, and he deserves better recognition

RIP Doug Parkinson, your voice and your name still resonate in these ears. Fondly. But young men of today shouldn't listen to this song, it's relevant only to very far-gone times. Do not be a s i m p.
The GREAT Duncan McGuire on bass
+Todd Brittain Yes he was.
I spotted Duncan as soon as the video started. I remember seeing him live in the "In Focus" days.
Plus the Foster Brothers: Greg Henson on Drums, Keith Kerwin on Guitar, Peter Deacon on Keyboards!
Bloody good bassist
Magical, marvellous.
No miming here, Dougie you were the real deal. Honest as the day is long. RIP mate :)

Absolutely love this take on this track
Whatever he sings he makes his own. Great backing.

Rare clip of Duncan playing with his eyes open! Sure miss you, Wiz.
And in colour!!!
Perhaps the greatest unsung Aussie bassist. R.I.P. Duncan..your wonderful melodic playing alongside Mark's inventive drumming has stood the test of time - best rhythm section this country has produced. Bar none.
My mother actually worked with Doug Parkinson during the late 70s early 80s
Like the song says "whenever you need me, I'll be around", we'll always have your music. Vale to the one n only Doug Parkinson.
This man was so tragically undervalued in his talent as singer. He was a fucking powerhouse. RIP Dougie
One of Doug's best numbers.
Never appreciated Doug Parkinson when I was a kid... Love listening to his songs now tho.
Great arrangement, beautiful.
Love this so much.play it loud.......yeah
Vale Doug Parkinson.
Absolutely dynamite!!!!!
Never heard of him before but he’s really good! Reminds me of a more soulful Tom Jones meets Huey Lewis.
No. He's Doug Parkinson
Never heard of him? Have you been living under a rock or something?
We have. And that's a good thang!
we danced this on Prom 94
