I was actually a bit younger in the 60s LOL but had brothers that were eight plus years older than me and I was blessed because of it! Listened to all of these '60s songs which are now classics and it really affected me. There is a lot of good music out there throughout the decades but my God the '60s were fandamntastic!

❤ these five young men met at Villawood Migrant Hostel. Stevie Wright stepped up to the plate in 1964., aged 16. I was 4. These fellows must have made ALOT A L O T of music in a very short time., putting their enthusiasm for life in Australia into song. Mismanagement of their band and poor airplay on radio ... etc ., they all wanted to go to Saint Louis. Fleet left the band to be WITH his family. They recorded Heaven and Hell., in London. And, yes guy'man, they were punk before punk had a title and twinkled in the eyes of the Brits., who shared it with the world , for better or worse. Hay Harry wasn't written and Malinda Herman , by me , regrettably who knows what it might have been if you'd made the scene... Suzi Quatro covered Stevie Wright's song, Suzi in '75 ? , RIGHT on time for me aged 15. I sat crossed legs in parent's front yard amoungst the hibiscus and dwarf Pritchardia with the purple seeds and prayed for rain and asked myself why because girls can rock music too., l knew it. My sister and me . Just us two laying on the bonnet of dad's car in the night at grans house. Looking at the sky. Some people say , 10 4 good buddy but that was my uncle's children, and we were older by then but l still want to get a tower for my back yard 50 years later. Frequencies are cool. Donald was on this morning , and l heard him speaking and he's so fluffy 😊😊😊 .. I'm Wendy May Smith. I'd like to complain for anyone who drops a load of manure or worse , poisen on my doorstep, but in defence of the leaders , there's more to it than getting some rights to live and work without dying by , biting me. It's a wild wild animal the big uns in this world, you can't just stretch out your arm even to inspect a wound, and that pincer near killed me., and it still is l suppose. But I'm not looking it in the eye because it's gaze always goes past me even when it's uttering a greeting it's looking to the fields of poppy's and the road to taking care of business .my lord l really want to know you. My sweet lord. If I've offended anyone by paying hush money , fluffy funny care . If l gave someone a dollar to catch a train or 500 or 10 hundred or 100 hundred and they catch that train and they go to noon pen or Cambodia and create such animosity in the country by dividing the people and the yellow brick road is riddled with staving children holding rifles and acting as guards and torturers of each other and another million citizens like occurred when the Kamur Rouge led by Pol Pot took parliament house with the weapons of war that were paid for by a government in a far away land , where money grows on trees and there's no rule about cleaning up your mess when the beach party is over. I'm making myself sick talking about this but only when l got to that part concerning the USA government., and film stars. And that's just one continent. Thank God for punk. I guess it's a legal precedent. He's a cute wee ducky. Because he was raised in an affluent society. I just hope he remembers the migrants and the workers who don't get counted unless they're somehow famous , like Steve Wright and he was well liked as a radio presenter for some time before he died in 2014., but he was in pain for some time and had heart bypass surgery a year before his death and only a few knew about it. You just don't know. True colours like a rainbow.

Was it Suzy? My arm is sore. I'm going to ... work/ lay down. F or dye F or Dye.. no offence Charles. That was France. Crucify me 🎉

[@wendysmith6563]

Monty Python was punk? Orv was it an answer to punk ? Films don't come cheap., and l appreciate THAT . The Easy Beats were allowed to be true to themselves because of freedom. To be. They were so punk and only had one song banned , because of one line in it. But l don't know what that line was?

[@charlesdickens6706]

...a lot of ten pound pohms were travelling back to Britain at the time for various reasons. We ourselves were voyaging from Australia to Britain and Europe in 66/67 new year period aboard the Fairsky of Sitmar Lines and the Bee Gees were among the passengers also. Bee Gees arrived four or five months before easybeats and struck gold. It looks like Britain was swamped with talented rock n roll bands in 67 and slightly different styles of bee gees and Seekers and Peter Paul n Mary emerged as something different from the rock n roll crowd.

Same here ... I was mostly focused on the new Beatles tracks and albums as they hit on an ongoing basis, but there were certain songs from the same era that were outstanding ... I was a ten year old guitarist just learning, and I immediately loved everything about this piece: The guitar work really stood out for it's unique riff pattern, and the vocals have a rock music dynamism that made the Beatles so awesome in my eyes ... He really cranks the vocal energy up in the "Tonight" chorus, getting that edgy Lennon like growl, and it's so satisfying and perfect for the overall form of the song Great example of a pre-chorus as well ... It's perfect guitar pop for the ages

This is one of those stroke-of-genious songs that is so 60's, yet so timeless (as many are). I enjoy it so much, yet if you asked me who wrote or performed it I'd be at a loss. I'm no musicologist, though I grew up in the 60's & 70's, and if you see my music likes, I have a lot and they only scratch the surface. But I say without reserve that I think this is a perfect pop rock song. I like everything about it, and it still gets me going today as it did back when. It's a great story everyone can relate to, told with range in vocals, guitar work and heavy snare. It's technically simple, yet hits every nerve in your body. It's a lightning strike. Since I listened to it for the first time in perhaps decades last week, I can't get this song out of my mind. I love it so much.

[@darrenaitcheson1675]

I've never seen a more captivating front man than Steve Wright. He seems to be having such fun--what amazing energy and vitality, and what great dance moves!

[@jameswitham2141]

I was lucky enough to see 'The Easybeats' live in Warrnambool, Victoria Australia in May 1965. Stevie Wright was the same age as me at the time,17, what a performance! Best Ausie band of all time and if you like this song then you really need to hear their, music that was only released in Oz, before venturing overseas, it'll blow your mind!! Iv'e seen a lot of live Bands over the years including, Beatles, Stones... but I believe Stevie is up there with Steve Marriot (Small Faces) as one of the best frontmen of all time.
