Billy Thorpe_Over the Rainbow

[harmesy37]

Inducted into the Hall of Fame this week, how appropriate, knew him well as a young man making his way in Australian music with such effect and to see this almost forty years on is such a reminder of his durability and popularity...Many of his peers came and went but he was a survivor in a tough and unforgiving industry...and lost nothing over the years...We owe him plenty, RIP Bill....You have left a lot of people with immortal memories..Thanks Mate.

Christmas 2006 in Melbourne. Believed to be last live performance. Billy died in February 2007. Amazing voice, great talent, gone too soon.

[MsRm57]

@MrBillmaine I'm pretty sure Billys' last live performance was at a pub in San Remo Philip Island.We lost him just a couple of days later...
