I love a sunburnt country

Uncategorized

I love a sunburnt country/A land of sweeping plains so goes the poem ‘My Country’ by Dorothea McKellar. It provides the context for another showcasing of great Australian talent. Billy Field shot into the charts in the early eighties with four hits including ‘You Weren’t In Love With Me’.  Stalwarts Renee Geyer (Say I Love You), Daddy Cool (Come Back Again) and Olivia Newton-John (Let Me Be There) are also featured. One of the first indigenous singers to perform a top five hit was Lionel Rose (I Thank You) who, as well as winning a World Boxing Title, was also named Australian Of The Year. Two songs which improve more and more with age are Moving Pictures‘ inspirational ‘What About Me?’ and 70s Queen Of Pop Colleen Hewett‘s superb ‘Wind Beneath My Wings’.
