A truly beautiful song, it sums Aussie Diggers in Vietnam.

That was really cute. The good old days. 🦜🐦🦜🐦

Bert was a gem. So quick witted. 😅

Peter looks so young here.

The 'tart with a heart'. ♥

Hi Simon can you please upload episodes of Australias Most Wanted?

He is no Elvis and off key

Anyone notice this bloke is well off key?

Bill passed not long ago at age 99. They were a super couple.

❤ nice

Elvis held Roy Orbison is very high regard, publicly stating that Roy had ' most perfect voice' and referring to him as the 'greatest singer in the world' during one of his Vegas concerts. And Roy's respect was mutual, he went to Elvis' concerts from 1954 to 1976. Roy was the only artist to open for both The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Elvis never recorded one of Roy Orbison's songs, a clear mark of respect in that he did not believe he could better him. The closest he came was one line of 'Running Scared' while recording 'Tomorrow Never Comes' for his classic Elvis Country LP in June 1970. Although legend has it that Roy turned up at the gates to Graceland with a song he has written for Elvis, 'Only The Lonely', however Elvis was not home and Roy went on to record the song which was his first smash hit. In 1979 Roy recorded a tribute song to Elvis, 'Hound Dog Man'. Elvis' one-liner of 'Running Scared' can be found on the Essential '70s masters 5 CD Box Set.

Im struck by that lopsided smile that I dont recall from previous interviews...

Did they say the girl was Lesly gore ?

As a lifelong fan, this is AWESOME ❤Thank you!

I love this song, but this version is crap. JPY and BCR did great versions. It is not a glam rock song, so I don't know why a glam rock parody band would attempt it and show it such disrespect. It is about a singer who has lost his fame and it should not be poked fun at like this.

Used to go and see them at the Central Club in Richmond, Victoria. They were great. The place was always packed (dangerously so!) and the atmosphere was fantastic. The gorgeous bass player's name is (or was) Throbbing Glitterus. Say no more!

And despite all the technological advancements since then, it's still the best cleaner. 😀

Always a great singer.

You have a fantastic channel, Simon. I met Jono in 2013. Such a nice, modest, humble bloke. I said to him, "it was an honour to meet you" and he gave me a thumbs up and said, "from one legend to another." I have loved watching all the Bert clips over the last few weeks. Best wishes for 2025!

We miss bert thanks for the video mate much appreciated Shane in Sydney 🦘 🇦🇺

Eric is my favourite roller but man his singing 😃😭😭

Thanks Simon. The more "in the past" we look . . the more we treasure "the past"

Muss Jono!

Jono was hilarious! He is very much missed

Haven’t heard that line in years …”There’s a new you waiting “😂

Noel was one of Australia's funniest and more talented entertainers.

So talented 🎉

Pickle me grand mother😂 I remember… a friend of mine was one of the dancers … the village people performed there he slept with half of em 😂

I went to the Swagman once for a weekend lunch. They often featured many leading entertainers at night.

As an American, I find these kitschy but intriguing

Gracias por subirlo, wow

I like the Australian host here pretends to not know what "Highway to Hell" is, despite it being one of the most influential hits ever put out by an Australian musical act (AC/DC). And Tiny Tim acts like it's this revolutionary new novelty song that he helped popularize.

Why is this a "best" commercial?

I’ve been a fan since I was 3 yrs old and I have NEVER heard Whitney say that her last name was pronounced “Who-ston”. Like ever.

Thelma Houston is such a beautiful woman & such a Phenomenal amazing soulful singer!!! 🎉❤🎉

Brings back memories of the Cooda Been Champions which was my Sunday night bedtime with my 7 year old son Alex.

Simon , many great quips you’ve gone to a lot of trouble for but this one tugs on heartstrings so much. Thanks. Paul and Charmaine.

This episode is from probably 1990.

Anyone here in 2026?

Hilarious 😂😂😂

Ayooo

Sir Robert. What a piece of work.

This some freaky shiiii

" his 1st success 🥇 " bragged about celibrating " eating a hamburger 🍔 😋 ?" ( foolish man

"Paper money 💰 like paper dolls " not real " economy slows " collapse like " a deck of cards !" ( no exit strategy ? Foolish 😊
