How about Russell Morris performing this at the Grand Final! Come on - support Aussie music!

[@peterdonelly1]

That's a FANTASTIC point! People would love it! And show the young ones a true aussie legend.

[@spello8191]

Just goes to show how Meat Loaf was so wrong!!

[@wespaul9345]

Do you think that crowd will appreciate it?

[@jacquelinecochrane-harriso4040]

Chose this song to be played at my brothers funeral. Great brother, great song, great artist.

[@Tony-Waldron]

I just want to say, that was goosebump, bl00dy fantastic!

[@drabbit61]

Well said😂

[@petervogelsanger1954]

Saw Russell live a couple of months ago and I swear, this guy gets better every year :) Every time I need a lift I play this song as loud as I can, works every time. Thanks Russell

[@twistedsista67]

I'd have to agree with you there :)

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Like fine wine

[@Jeremy-rk3cs]

I can vouch for that Peter. I've saw him live less than a couple of weeks ago and his performance was at least as good as this video clip.

[@MargThomson]

I have followed and loved you and your music all my life. My house burned down last Sunday and this song, this song... it just popped up on my computer while I was searching for some sort of meaning to my life. Thank you Russell. Thank you so much.

[@spottychookkinsey5967]

Marg Thomson ...♡ sorry to hear mate.....all the best 🕊

[@smeedog69]

one of the best voices in Australia.....back in the 60s and 70 he had a great voice....still hasent changed a bit

[@adambell3615]

Buried my old boy to this song. It’s much appreciated in our household

[@nettycoleman6675]

Thanks for sharing these classics. This is just gorgeous! Can't get enough of it!

[@sharyndoyle6362]

What I love about Russel Morris is the fact that years later, his voice is still great and he does not slow his songs down when singing live. Nothing pisses me off more when a great song is dragged out by a great singer. Just because they are old and slow doesn't meen that we are when we are their vintage !

[@johnlennon1970]

What a Voice!!..... It has not changed one bit in 40 years! i would love to see him live!!

[@kevinobrien3669]

yes it has changed.. it's better.. amazing!

[@sothisischristmasggh5281]

Saw him in june2019 amazing

[@cass3765]

I introduced my daughter to the real thing many years ago.. around the same time I found an album in a $10 bin with real thing on it. I gave it to my daughter who 15years later still has it as a fave album.. wings real thing swet swet love are all songs we sing loud around the house n her friends think we are nuts with strange music. Cant get music as beautiful n as well written as this now days. My daughter is now 21. My 11yo is now loving russel music. thanks.

[@edamse]

Russel you are a great singer and so is the guy who play's the guitar and the drummer. Great trio. Love it, love it, love it. Hope you keep going for many more years.

[@shortnotekerrie]

I seen Russell and Brian Cadd live a few years back. They were amazing! ❤

[@marlenesullivan3113]

MUST OF BEEN FANTASTIC

[@shortnotekerrie]

@@marlenesullivan3113 It was sooooo good 🙂

[@chucksfan1]

So am I - 53 that is...listening to Russell Morris and Brian Cadd puts me back 40 years and makes you thankful for such great Aussie rockers. Life passes too fast, 40 years on. Not in high school anymore!

[@johnholland5968]

One of the best live performers I have seen.

[@rebeccavaridel]

This song has always touched my heart more than any other. This rendition is truly soulful Russell Morris if you see this - I would want nothing more for you to sing this on accoustic at the close of my funeral service. It would mean a lot. I'm not morbid, I'm not sick. I hope my family reads this..

[@ianyoung2396]

Shared the stage with Russell in Nelson, NZ way back last century sometime. He had a fantastic voice then and a lot more hair. Still got a superb voice. This is one of his best songs ever.

[@johnlennon1970]

He is probably the one artist that his not lost that superb voice, most sound terrible after 40 years of performing!

[@fred1462]

My Dad requested that this be played at his funeral and we did. Such an emotional song

[@swinetrek]

This is what real talent sounds like. None of your crap from The Voice or Australia No Longer has Talent will be around for years because they won't do the hard work. Great stuff Russell. Just legendary.

[@loveoracle8797]

I think they do the hard work but the production companies decide. These guys like Russel had poetic licence and were actually attributed for their creative talent..the production companies now just want to churn out robotic sounds that mesmerized the young. My girls 34 and 35 know my music and love it

[@Dancardash14]

No matter how often Russell sings a song he puts his heart and soul into it every time, and that's what makes him such a great performer. I'll love him forever.

[@alanajosh1]

Russell Morris... What a man... This is what true legends are made of... I adore you Russell... xxx

[@pamelalawrence1704]

Have loved russell since I 1st heard the real thing. Great voice.

[@josephlammardo]

Love the way this song was used it the brilliant movie “The Dish”.

[@shazzerbell60]

Beautiful song, amazing musicians! Kevin Murphy is a childhood friend and I was lucky enough to go on tour with the guys in Perth 2007. Happy memories

[@spello8191]

As it sad for me, as it’s happy. Sad that music has lost its soul. Happy that I’m able to appreciate the sound through KZbin💜

[@angeladeinnocentis5699]

Russell sounds just as good as when he was young. Great sound. Love this song

[@JulieWood-l2s]

Fabulous performer.

[@Peter760]

Just a magnificent acoustic rendition, love it.

[@paulineh4019]

That 12 string too !

[@tonystewart7146]

Absolutly brilliant....lifts your spirit! thanks Russell, always play this when I'm down, lifts me up!

Bloody oath from a true ozy born in his era love yo R M

Making a list of my favourite songs from late sixties onwards and this is definitely one of them

[@anneanne7105]

oh wonderful!

[@chelseakovic2158]

Russell Morris is one of Aussies DEST singers ever.. Shame he didn't have the fame he deserved..

[@GAYNORLOU]

I saw Russell yesterday and all I can say is wow wow wow !! Unbelievable voice !

[@heatherfoster4154]

Russell Still gives me the goosebump's with all his music. When I leave this Earth this will be "My Song" that takes me by the "Wing's of an Eagle"

[@heatherfoster4154]

When Russell Morris is no longer performing it is going to be a very sad state of the heart.

[@BlackG6ETurbo]

One of the best singer/songwriters, if not the best, we've seen in OZ....and still going. I think I saw Russell perform in every pub in Melbourne in the 80s. Always a great live sound.

[@johnatowers]

I think that I am physiologically tuned to this songs resonant frequency. What legends you guys are!!!!

[@geoffheaney5114]

JUST STUNNING ☺☺☺

[@marlenesullivan3113]

100% GOLDEN VOICE

[@mauriceoldis7541]

loved this song so much-makes me sad for the past-tnx so much Russell Morris

[@AnthonyBurnsSydney]

As a photographer I had a corporate event to shoot. The entertainment was Russell Morris, James Reyne, Richard Clapton and Joe Camalleri. The young people in the room had no idea who they were. The older people went off and danced the night away. I got paid to be there Yi HA!.

[@artystarkey3289]

I wouldn't be surprised if the young people there didn't even know who they were..??

[@partsroz1962]

no, you mean yeee haaawwww!

[@ADRIAN-fb9xj]

That was a good job Anthony! The Young People wouldn't have had any idea, but hopefully they appreciated Real Talent in front of them. Sounded like a Great Lineup. Russell and the Boys were Great.

[@ButtonPhonics]

The great music of that era is being heard by the youth thanks to You Tube and so on. More needs to be done to let them appreciate how great it was and who were the best talent from Australia's past and that they would out perform any Oz artist I have heard pretty much since 1995

[@jackl-zr9gm]

Loved this song since a little girl x ❤

[@jethrox827]

Just got back from the blues festival at the entrance, russell is still killing it, my life is now complete seeing him play his greats!!

[@peterdonellymiscellaneousv2854]

Cool ! He's the best!

[@colinchin4055]

Not too sure which is a better song..this or sweet sweet love..so I'm happy to listen to both..

[@AussieOutlaw]

+Colin Chin Agreed mate, both frigging amazing

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Sweet Sweet Love. One of the finest Australian Rock songs. Rachel. Wings of an Eagle. Real Thing. Brilliant

[@chelseakovic2158]

I love sweet sweet love better..

[@PeteStark616]

I was fortunate enough to open for Russell at the London Tavern in Melbourne in 1983. Unfortunately at the time I didn't really understand or appreciate how incredible a singer songwriter he actually was. Thanks for posting.

[@goldenwattle2142]

Saw Russell on Wed night at Hamer Hall Melbourne. Wow. He has the same wonderful voice. A true gentleman. A LEGEND in OZ.

[@julieg8999]

Saw him last month....Blew me away...A humble man and his guitar...Took me back to my teens....

[@Mikesbunny1423]

Love this man, amazing voice

[@cobber61]

heard this song this afternoon on the radio.... it had been years. Had to come find it on here when we got home. Love the guitar!

[@johnthelad]

Not only a beautiful song, but beautifully played with the 12 string acoustic.

[@gailashby]

I have always love Russell Morris's voice and songs...but after a long time of not hearing him...he's only got better......

[@stevedoyle3633]

Sitting in my backyard listening to this fantastic song - have seen russell live many times over decades...a brilliant musician - 2 wedgetail eagles circling over my congo home...amazing.

My teenage Idol loved singing to Russell’s music. Thankyou for the great songs 🎸🎼💕

[@laurellink]

Forever remembered

[@jimincairns]

Now, THAT'S what I'm talkin' about...REAL music written and performed by a legend of Australian music. Russell sounds better now than he did in the early 70's.

[@wendymcgrath7561]

I don't know How I miss this. Thanks for sharing. x

[@colsharrock5272]

Have seen him live recently...and this bloke is a true artist...

[@RockinRobynGold]

This is my favourite song of all time, its been my favourite since it was first released, I grew up loving it and always, will.thanks Russell XXX

[@leighshareef9193]

One beautiful song .

[@MERVskilton]

That's what I call an Aussie Rock legend.. a bloody classic mate!

[@tullfan7872]

If I had to pick the greatest Aussie song of all time, this absolute classic would be well in the running.

[@GoofballLtG]

I’m here because The Dish is one of my favorite movies and this song is at the end of it. :)

[@anthonymellow3969]

Just finished watching The Dish. Had to listen to this classic song.

[@Rusty_Gold85]

That was a masterpiece of delight . So soothing and grand

[@petereyles5583]

Classic song by a true Australian rock icon love this song and I always will..Thank you so much Russell!

[@CarolynLawrie-g8d]

Geezz i wish I could have seen him live one day.. never going to happen though... adore this man

[@BarnLes]

I have been a fan since 1969 LOL (I am old..53). Russell is a true muscian, singer and songwriter...and I am off to see him live along with Brian Cadd in Launceston in a few weeks! I first saw him live in 1975...he is fantastic and has gotten better with age and time!!!

[@Jewels64]

One of our greatest!!!! Russell still AMAZING!!!!!

[@fjbutch]

still got it mate.... nice clip ......great memories of my youth ....

[@BarnLes]

Oh I am forever listening to great music by legendary Aussie rockers and most music from the 70's by any band...keeps me feeling young it does :-). Yeah you are right about the last 40 years going way too fast..were in the heck did it go? BTW..Russell and Brian have only gotten better with age if you ask me..they sang and performed brilliantly!!!

[@46intruder]

Thanks for posting, great song, great performance.

[@hmelonify]

I am 54 now and when I was a young girl I had Russell Morris's name all over my Diary and pencil case .... I thought I would meet him one day! Him and Ronnie Burns were my favorites!

[@davetaylor7687]

I had the pleasure of meeting Russell in Ballarat on saturday.12th Oct 2013. Told him .. 'he got me through some hard times... withought thinking he put his arm around me and said " thanks my friend .. thats why I write the music".. Gentleman..

[@lindaalker1469]

Love him

[@trudywilson4865]

So want to be able to see him live again, so good.

[@peterdonelly]

Good on you cobber..that's a story I like to hear. It's amazing that two acoustic guitars and three harmonies can produce something that leaves the listener hardly robbed of any sweet memories of the original.

[@WylieKiote]

He's still got it & I'm so glad he does, love listening to this guy 🤩

[@serendipityI]

I haven't heard this for years! Thanks so much for posting it cause I still sing parts of it (very badly Lol). Now I can learn the whole song. Russell's still fantastic.

[@timwright1563]

Thank you

[@robwalton7749]

Such an awesome song, sung by such an awesome musician......that voice never falters.

[@grahamclark5744]

Lyrics I grew up with.....just so much a part of your life - I recently watched "searching for sugarman"...Rodriguez and the cold fact albulm shaped who I am there are so many artists today without a message - for the next generation. so pleased to accompany my 28 year old son to a concert in Brisbane on April fools day to audience a seventy -year old WOW - GOOD MUSIC NEVER DIES

[@heatherfoster4154]

I toured with Russell many many years ago. I was in the Musician's pit - he was Riff Raff on stage in "The Rocky Horror Stage Show". He did a really good job of that role as I recall. He still looks pretty good too!

[@fredsmith5726]

The best song ever sung in my books Wings of of an Eagle

[@amyjroser]

[@vandijkav]

Beautifully sung with great emotions
