I wish I was at that gig, cos if I was, I would've gone up to Russell...shaken his hand... and said mate, that was bloody superb. But since I wasn't at the gig I'll just say it here, mate, that was bloody superb.

RM's voice just gets better. Love his work.

[PinkGuitarWoman]

Wow this blows me away...amazing vocals, fanastic song and musicians awesome just wow

[dj00197]

"couldnt get anyone to record it"... it almost defies belief. I used to sing this to my daughter when she was a still a baby, and it still makes me shiver. You always were and always will be one of the true legends of Oz music... and that damn voice really does just keep getting better.

[2livinginthesun]

[VocalistJennySherry]

Russell it is true you get better with age, but you were always the best, so how do you get better... You are just the BEST.

[alanajosh1]

OMG.. Russell, I'm hooked on you...

[johnatowers]

Sad that similar songs to this wont be recorded because mainstream consumers don't have the attention span to wait for a chorus.......

[cmikex2]

Beautifully crafted song.

[wwilddjohnson01]

Russell I also grew up listening to you - really talented musician and beautiful singing that still take my breath away. Beautiful harmonising - I grew up when artists like you made us feel alive.

[MsLucy2012]

Thanks for bringing us such beautiful music Russell... I think I saw you in the early 80's you rocked then and you still rock.

[miadreamer]

His voice has gotten better as he's gotten older. Who'd have thought he could be any better than he was way back when, but HE IS AMAZING!!.... : )

[blutobear]

Having been once the lead singer in a band with Peter Robinson, I just have to say after seeing this that I am proud of him and that he has followed his passion. I wish I had had the same drive when instead I am but to relish in a distant memory of what once was and what, perhaps, could have been. Talent will out Pete. Well done.

[auntypizza]

One word - stunning

[lifeispeachy90]

russell u hold that note...:))))

[qcathy]

Russell Morris...you get better with age!

[zinger52]

Gettin better and better so much better every time I listen to it

[auntypizza]

Three words . . . . magnificent - uplifting - gifted

[BaldingMusicFan]

singer/guitarist/songwriter EXTRORDINAIRE, an aussie music legend, he's as good as there is out there still breathing air. I've seen him around 6 times the past few years, doing gigs with either Brian Cadd, or Jim Keyes (masters app) and Daryl Cotton, as Cotton Keyes and Morris singing all their hits and then some.

[ddsdblue1]

WOW!!! Russell you are an absolute legend. My DOB 1971-Irrespective!!! I hope this shows the depth in which you've hit!!! Coming on 11/11/10 to u'r live show. RESPECT!!!!!!

[SuperDainja]

Russell is doing the club circit and he still wows them

[valerianromeo]

Just saw Russell Morris in the super group The Travellers (with Darryl Braithwaite, Joe Camilleri and Brian Cadd) at the South Coast Blues Festival in Batemans Bay and he sang this and I remember it so well. Just gives me tears of joy.

[Chuckles123thefish]

Whe I fly to Australia in April 2011, I will be looking up where Russell will be playing, and hopefully I get to see the legend in the flesh. He was a legend at my school and so was this song and other songs he sang. How cool that he is still going strong and that voice of his, was not studio generated but an absolute gift from above. Na na na, na na na na naH. lol

[jimincairns]

Take THAT, Justin bloody Bieber! THAT'S how to sing! Solid bloody gold, Russell.

[milanvoykovic]

What a voice! Almost 40 years after the original release and Russell sounds as good- possibly better! Makes you wonder about  'singers' who have their voice "layered" 30 times in the studio for one track. Thank you Tecoma Cowboy for making this footage available.

[bcylee2002]

Hawthorn ~ I wish I was there !! I miss there

[baypete]

great song from an absolute legend

[gonaleve]

Wow,that was superb.tx for posting this.

[Chuckles123thefish]

bravo. I remember this song and I loved it, then he disappeared from the charts and I only just found him today, lol.

[gumnutbabe]

I also saw him and Brian in concert on 21/8/2010 while I was in Melbourne and it was the best concert and I loved him singing this song especially when he holds that note about a minute into song, I got goose bumps when he did :-)

[midnitekisss]

Luv this man!!! so good live!

[bcylee2002]

Bloody Good Russell!!

[topaz567]

Wow, he's still got the voice...maybe even better than when he was younger

Russell you are absolute magic...loved you then, love you now

[midnitekisss]

I'll see Russell Morris preform on the 21/08/2010... I can't wait I've loved this man for nearly 40 years... Luv'm

[TheDarkstar333]

My heart is crying with joy at such beauty :')

[edamse]

Love it. His voice is still the same. Great song!!

[TheJohnlong45]

This is the best song ever We saw Russell Morris In concert Sat night and he only gets better with age truly one of musics legends !!!

[chasdog1]

Absolute magic...it doesnt get any better than this...Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou

[Baskerville22]

He must be 60 here...and the voice has held up amizingly.

[Crockett1961]

Oh man ! He has still got that awesome voice !!

[BRAIDERMAN]

Am looking forward to seeing Russell perform in Coffs Harbour tomorrow night. It's going to be a great show - along with his mates Cotton & Keyes. I grew up in Melbourne in their hey-day also, so their music is a part of my youth !

[DidgeSmith]

I was fortunate enough to meet him after one of his gigs in Melbourne in the eighties, very nice man, humble, and pleasant to speak with. Had time for all.

[mrruston22]

Why do I find myself watching this clip at least once a week......I,m addicted to talent.

Can,t wait to hear what he is going to be like at when he turns 70.

Long May You Live Russell Morris

[kazamataza]

@mrruston22 me too...I'm addicted!!

[mrruston22]

@kazamataza But what an addiction to have....Being hooked on one of the best, if not the best live acoustic performances you will ever hear.

And to TECOMA COWBOY ...Almost as big a legend as Russell for posting.

Cheers Mate

[TecomaCowboy]

@mrruston22 My pleasure mate..... It was a privilege to be part of the camera crew that night. There are other songs from the gig on my channel..glad u enjoyed it.

cheers TC

[toeboe106]

It's sometimes sad to see and hear artist's long after their heyday BUT Russell Morris isn't one of them.He may have less hair !! but his voice if anything sounds better now than it did.A real talent.Can i somehow claim him as a kiwi?The aussies can keep Russell Crowe!!!

[nzmagpie1]

I'm a born again Russell Morris fan. Never tire of listening to his voice. I even bought his Real Thing CD compilation, the first CD I've bought in decades. Long may he live!

[mrruston22]

What a performance...36years later, who can improve on there own work after such time. A Legend thats who. (Thank God Farnham never got it). Russell Morris you are one of Australia,s finest talents,Part of an Elite group,I Have been so lucky to have grown up listening to some of the greatest artist this country has had to offer, And you are one of them.

Thanks Russell

[spudy5]

this is a ripper.

i have been recommending it to all my friends and workmates.

[ThatsMrRobertson]

Bloody excellent. Time and experience have made his voice even more powerful than it was in the sixties!

[SuperQuentin44]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!

[TheSchammet]

I saw Russells's original version on rage last night and this is better, his voice has developed more timber as he ages..love this

[Crankyx208]

I have to agree with every comment on here but ... I would like to compliment his Drummer Kevin Murphy and Guitarist Pete Robinson for their excellent Backing Vocals and Musicianship behind the great Man, they go with him everywhere ... Well don boy's

[bradgreta]

@Crankyx208 Thanks, i was wondering if that was kevin. i went to school with his brother Ron. He's a Talented musician. working with a great songwriter.

[muirkirk1]

this is the stuff legends are made of. thankfully i grew up listening to these great songs.

[braemage]

@muirkirk1 So am I , I still have the single, I remember having the "record player " I had in Uk and the needle wearing out and devising a way to use a fine sewing needle attatched to the cartridge so that I could play the single ( ouch) going to see him with the great Brian Cadd on Aug 7th at Blacktown Workers ( how the mighty have fallen) at least they are still with us playing great music.

[Walwie001]

@muirkirk1 ....... it certainly is song is one of favourites of all time but only when Russell sings it........... he is just amazing... always has been, always will be ... :)

[BrizSheelz]

It doesn't get better than this. Thanks Russ

[Splitz111]

beautiful...one of the all time great songs and composers. Thanks Russell...for taking me back there. :-)

[coolmunda01]

You've still got it Russ !!...Farnsey wouldnt have done it justice, he doesnt have the right kind of voice.

[canetoadkiller]

40 years later and what a classic! Excellent!

[anitashelby]

What An Awesome Song!!! 5*s Thank You....Anita..

[dontudare1993]

Indeed a gr8 song glad John Farnham never got it cos Russell sings it way better!

[blondiebabs]

great  song ,,,,,babsie x

[doggah32]

bonzaaaaaaaaaa

[intray6591]

Awesome!! Russell's still got it. Voice as good as ever....

[Rusty0555]

You're the man Russ.

[tocogough]

Is it possible that Russell's voice is even better now than in 1969/1970? Man, I enjoyed that! Bravo.

[billsaintkilda]

Ditto. I'm amazed at how good he sounds here.

[3031545565]

I want too comment every time I hear this, love it ,love it, what a Brilliant voice, so glad John Farnham didnt sing it!!!!

[jimincairns]

Whoaahhhh! What can you say about that for a live performance? Solid, technically precise, great vocal and superb guitar work...

[stoptheshearing]

Wow ........

[Sloppyff]

This is even better then when it was first released. Russeell outshines all others of his generation,

[kazamataza]

I saw Russell and Brian Cadd recently. I have always loved the music but to witness them live was unbelievable. Russell in particular was phenomenal...his voice is pure!!

Had a few too many and told him I loved him and gave him a big kiss...hope he didn't take it too seriously...I meant I loved his music.

[BrizSheelz]

Holy GTKs how on earth can he sing it better now than he did back in the day...

Thank you for posting this...

[Teamsexerciseme]

A Legend...a true legend of Aus music. And gets better with age.. keep rocking Russell.

[BarnLes]

God I love this song...I watch it over and over and I never tire of it :-).

[BrizSheelz]

Always loved this song. What a legend!!!

[tilhaztizi]

thank god that this song was never 'BASTARDISED" by john farnham....there's no way farnzy could've done it justice!!

[BarnLes]

I agree with you tilhaztizi ... I reckon he would have sung it all "cutesy" like "Sadie the Cleaning Lady"! This song is Russell's and no-one can sing it as well as Russell can in my humble opinion.

[BarnLes]

I saw Russell and Brian Cadd performing together last weekend and it was the best gig that I have ever been to. These guys had the crowd up on their feet..singing along with them..it was fantastic and I was transported back to the 70's :-) ! I had tears in my eyes I did LOL. Such great talent that has NOT diminished over the years but has only gotten better. These two blokes could teach the so called current talent a thing or two.

[BrizSheelz]

True words there BarnLes. Now I have to check out when their gigs on the mainland. Thanks for the tip

[BarnLes]

I saw Russ way back in the 70's [I am old :-)]...he was fantastic then..and now he is even better!! A true legend of Aussie music...a great singer, muscian and songwriter!!! Go Russ! I am off to see Russell and Brian Cadd in Launceston this month...can't wait!!!

[BarnLes]

Russell Morris and Brian Cadd are going to be performing live in Launceston, Tassie on 21st June 09 and I have been counting down the days!!!!!

[MrRonaldson]

BRILLIANT.........ABSOLTULY

[Joshromig]

I love this song :)

[ywiabychi]

Such a big part of the soundtrack to my formative years. Many thanks - Spectacular performance!

[KioraK]

[Aussiemusicforever]

This song is on "Retrospective" "Greatest Hits" and double CD "The Real Thing"

[BlondeAussie007]

Unreal Russ. You still rock. Love the song and how good do you look??? Want to marry me? You are a ledgend.

[tonygian10003]

That was great...well done

[ajdavid59]

Fantastic. I was lucky enought o see Russell a few years back at a "Long Way to the Top" Concert.

This song came out when I was a young lad just noticing the fairer sex. It became my theme song. Romantic fool was I.

[duff558]

Well! bugger me, how good is this? And I can't believe Russ hid such a good lookin' head under that cap these past years!

[BabsonTask]

Bloody hell! When I saw the date on this I thought this might be a bit sad...mistake!

His voice is in great shape and this is a great version of a sensational song. Hat's off to you Russ.

[karloman1]

EXCELLENT tune,and words,,, this is the stuff mate, Russell your a champion..

[GrayWarrior09]

AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ausman58]

wow! first time I have seen this but man he still can belt it out almost as well he did back in the early 70s. I am here in Toronto and it's been over 34 years since I left Oz but I still get a shiver just watching it. Hi to any friends back in Adelaide (Ottoway). From 26 cleveland Terrace, D.S.

[ginny1608]

What an AMAZING song! Good job Russ.
