@Klemheist WWII ??? The Loved Ones - headed by the legendary British-born Gerry Humphries - were a Baby Boomer favourite who did not make their first appearance until the mid-1960's. One of their most memorable songs were "The Loved One" or the classic, "Sad, Dark Eyes" .... they will go down in history as one of the best, most talented Australian bands of the 1960's. Click on the links below to hear these signs which were THEME SONGS to the lives of so many Baby Boomers who were teenagers in the mid-1960's.

this song and icehouse remind me of my dad so much thats what youd hear in his car. going 80 in a 60 zone playing this.
@theoneandonlyowl37642 ай бұрын
My dad was a speed demon too. We had our Mini doing 80mph. His later Jag did well past that, as well as the Charger and Cobra and Brock Special (Holden). He let me drive the Jag when he visited the first time. I'd just driven through a roundabout, and thought that seemed extra quick, but the steering was beautiful. It was then dad casually mentioned that the car's speedometer was mph not kph. Zipping through a town roundabout at highway speed... I survived it, all good. I loved his Brock Special and he let me borrow it for a trip away once. Some speedos stop at 180 klicks. I have no idea how fast that car was. It was almost like flying. I can still remember the feeling. Back to what you were saying, when dad bought his Ford Cobra he had the current best sound system fitted. Our Sunday drives in the bush back roads (lol, yes we were bushies) was filled with music that seemed to surround us. The start of surround sound and multiple speakers. There was something special about it back then, when music seemed to wrap around you. The home stereo/record player had nothing on the car's sound. I think I've used up all the word I'm allowed to use in one day, bye.

Bloody great Aussie song. Why this song wasn't a hit in America is baffling!

Probably would have hit no. 1 if radio stations hadn't refused it.....

Was at work today and heard this song, and I had heard it before hand in my childhood but never knew the name of the song and finally after like more than 10 years I found this song, ngl on the way home I was listening to it and almost started crying cause I've been looking for the name for that long and cause it sounds so good

When this song came out I was 20,Australia and New Zealand had the best rock n roll music ever.... but, they were overshadowed by music from the US,UK,& Canada and I really think the music from Australia and New Zealand had both a better sound and production,thanks😎!

Only heard this classic for the second time again since my childhood randomly on Spotify (how awesome are algorithms sometimes!?!) I have been obsessed with it ever since! What a time to be alive! Much simpler times back then

This song reminds me of days as a kid at the Bribie Island surf beach then, in the arvo, going across the road to the Surf Pub with the family and people you knew in the community, having a feed, listening to this music... the kids would all be outside, bare feet, running around as the sun was setting while the parents/adults would be having drinks in the beer garden. Can we please go back to that?

So profoundly sexual. A true coming of age story in a beautifully crafted song. A true 80's Aussie masterpiece. 💓💓

Carrie Aussie masterpiece at its finest! Well phrased and ‘A true coming of age song!’ This song is a telltale generational phenomenon that has not been realised by the industry or the listeners; thankfully a few of us do! State of the Heart is another one of their masterpieces! Thank you Ross

I would show my gratitude to Radio Australia (ABC) that made me a music warm since 70s, we had one Phillips Holland 7 valves radio set whose sound quality was more than excellent still feel nostalgic about Saturday international top 20s n Sunday National top 20s i still remember the narrators name Sussan darling, im 68 now from India we used to get those in the air our time 2.30 to 4.30 pm.
