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

[@stevec8555]

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!

[@wendyatcthink]

Saw him live at a sold out Hamer Hall last year and he is still fabulous!

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. ❤

[@valcye]

I was 10 years old, never realized how privileged I was being around musicians who could sing like this. Thanks for the upload.

[@mindfulness1118]

Yes…… yes and yes 👏

[@debrarobinson9539]

I agree 😊

[@BigBopper-zm1kf]

One the world's greatest. We were too young to appreciate Russell 😊

[@jasongray3365]

❤ so underrated ❤❤

[@fredsalfa]

I grew up with and have heard all these songs but I had no idea his name was Russell Morris. Yet I know every major Australian artist of the last 50 years. Why is that? and what a discovery!

[@5CGQ]

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.

[@eternal3321]

Just heard him live yesterday. Amazing to this day, sounds just as good.

[@lynettesmith1893]

I am 80 & I know the words to this song, Russell Morris was just one of our fabulous singers around in the 60's too bad the kids of today missed a great decade, Rock on Aussies.

[@kelbatt7729]

in my top ten all time

[@marilynsmith5427]

You are brilliant thanks for your talent 💖💖💖

[@helenaustin2274]

This song is one of my most favourite songs

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

Hey Hey, it's Tuesday!!! All SAINTS Day Melbourne Cup Day Love 😍 YOU, MY Russell GOLDEN. MWAH & HUGS

[@drabbit61]

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.😊

[@anthonymurphy3713]

[@sandyellis6068]

Probably the first singer and music that my teenage self fell in love with. Russell Morris ❤️ Beautiful, beautiful voice.

[@carmenskrzypko5463]

An Amazing Voice.😊❤

[@raymondsommerfeldt2817]

Sensational artist, great music throughout his career and I never tire hearing his songs uo til this day. 1971 and I lived through the best decade of Aussie music.

[@paradise3156]

I heard this song back home then in the 70's. Didn't know he's an Aussie. Amazing unique voice!!!

[@daryllwilliams1042]

Super talented muso!

[@gregburge8626]

Awesome Russell Morris - one of Australia's best entertainers!!!

[@marlenesullivan3113]

A MOST VALUABLE ARTIST,, I LOVE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC LIKE THIS.💙🎶

[@voiceofexperience]

Legend. And definitely underrated compared to "Farnzy"!

[@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.

[@carolinegodden4364]

How come John F was never HELD TO ACCOUNT??? HOLY SHIT!!!

[@ozperl]

This song 🎶 is so meaningful to me for the rest of my life lalalalalalalnananananpapapapapa love you Russell😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@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]

couldn't have said it better myself my friend.I am so fortunate to be going to see Russell the week after next,can't wait.

I agree totally.

[@deannaway8499]

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

[@sandyellis6068]

I adored him! Beautiful voice and personality ❤️

[@patrickjobling8676]

Magnificent..😎

[@queenslanddiva]

me too! Had me a Russell Morris tshirt back in the day - always loved him. I've seen him several times, he never disappoints

[@davidandessi]

I used to go and see Russell at the Doncaster Inn Hotel, Victoria. This was one of the go-to venues in the 80s to see bands like INXS, Little River band, Brian Cadd, Cold Chisel, Men at Work, and more. Had I known how iconic all these bands would become, I would have gone Thurs - Sunday. Russell was amazing live!
