Billy Thorpe

[whitiedos]

was there that night ....his voice......persona......energy ..one of the highlights of my life ..have seen/enjoyed him many times before

one of the greats of the australian music industry

loved the website he developed around this time....

[MrDangermouse10]

I too am completing the same read. Billy had three careers and gave us a reprise of the second upon his return to Australia in the 1990s and a glimpse of the 4th with Tangier before he was sadly taken. His third career was in the US. A legend in all respects. I was in Sydney around Australia Day 1974 and I heard the 2SM announcer state he was going to play Australia's national anthem. He played 'Be Boppa Lula' - precursor to this 1972 hit and what has become our sing-a- long anthem.

I have just finished reading the commemorative edition to Billy's books Sex and thugs and rock "n" roll and Most people I know (think that I'm crazy) and it was the best read that I have had in a long time RIP Billy sadly missed by millions of people
