One of the greatest vocalists to come out of Australia...a true legend.

Great memorabilia 🍂

Beautiful singer and so underrated

[@KweenBee37]

So many underrated talent in this country, deserve to be treated better than they have.

[@gethappycyclingcampingoutdoors]

I'm sitting London January 2022, born in Perth. Haven't heard this song since early 70s Fcuking awesome.

[@johnclark4131]

Saw him live last night at the Brisbane Convention centre with an orchestra, absolutely fabulous he's still got it! Love his Blues stuff as well.

The songs of my Aussie childhood... is Russell Morris.. so talented, so underrated... xxx

[@steveC2307]

The most underrated singer in the history of popular Australian music! Everything Russell sings, he blows it out of the park!! Johnny Farmyard has nothing on this guy!

[@bluemoon1960]

Thank God that I grew up in the sixties in Australia we are truly the lucky country!!!!! The rest of the world missed the talent boat and we had the best ride!

Anyone else seen the recent Russel Video. His voice is even sweeter now in his 60s

[@AngelicaLake-Brown]

He might be a little older than that as I'm 66 turned 13 in 1971. But it doesn't matter.😊

[@MicheleMuir]

Russell Morris is a living legend! I love all his songs. The Real Thing is my all-time favourite, followed closely by this song!❤❤

[@annebarnett9116]

I'm a Kiwi in my early 70s, love his music, especially Rachel's Coming Home and Sweet sweet love. Fabulous!!

[@dannyinaus]

Probably Australia's best singer of all time, yet he was never given the recognition he so deserved.

[@jordansupport1923]

I think he has the recognition, but he didn't seek the limelight. It always struck me that the music was more important than the fame.

[@alienrobot1648]

Jon English also had a fab voice and there were others, like the singer from Air Supply, even though I was never a massive fan

[@lanabanana68]

it deserved to be global hit my in view, Russell

[@AngelicaLake-Brown]

Many of that time did but yes this was so beautiful

[@Lupi33z]

the problem was it was released in 1971 and sounded like it was released in 1966. Music was changing rapidly back then and fashion was way ahead of little ol' Australia before the internet.

[@kimtamm9954]

What a voice. I could listen to him all day. I was lucky enough to see him in person singing at a club a few times. ❤

The best and sweetest love song ever written... Stunning melody... And how on earth did he hold THAT note. OMG! Adore!

Saw him perform this (amongst others) at a private funtion in 2019. His still has an incredible voice, and is so humble and approachable. One of Australia's greatest talents ever.

I was a girl of 13 and... yep!!

[@chookinathunderstorm3446]

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.

[@tonycostanzo4276]

i was also 11

[@sandyFreePalestine]

I adored him! Beautiful voice and personality ❤️

[@AVportau]

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.

[@cherylfrank6468]

Can’t count the times I’ve watched this … extraordinary talent…
