  • Brings back wonderful memories of my Sydney days..seeing Richard live on northern beaches....... great music ... thanks for this :))

  • Great band, too. From Richard`s website, it seems like it might have been Kirk LOrange on slide guitar. Drummer was good, too.

    The clip is pretty good too. Who were those women?

  • Mainstreet Jive deserved to have the same recognition as "Girls.." and "GB Tiger". Inflections of Van Morrison in his vocal delivery.

  • Hey Mallamoozoo, I don't like your use of the past tense - this guys is still brilliant. If not Australia's best singer song writer...

  • I dont know why we dont talk about Richard Clapton in Australia as our own John Lennon. Other times he sounded like Elvis. Truly the market has no idea! This guy was a genius.

  • Amen!!!

  • Thanks for the backup - but put in a word of your own bro - you are realy very very welcome...

  • @mallamoozoo

    I agree with you. But Richard lacked the X factor... sex appeal.

    If he was 20 Kgs slimmer and strutted his stuff like Jagger or Presley, then he would have been unstoppable.

  • @yaluobud Yep - thats exactly what it is - thats all that held him back - life is so cruel!

    But that just stopped him being a pop star - proper musos still recognize him.

  • Thanks for the kind words. In fact, I'll thank Amin for this video. I'm quite amazed with the combination of Ralph and Cleo-type girls in one video. In retrospect, this should be the video for 'Girls On The Avenue'.
