Well done Aussie! First got smacked with this listening in the shower down the coast at bawley point NSW about 15 years ago and loved it. Within 6 months I was at Russell's concert in Canberra with my girlfriend and her family. We're now married two beautiful kids and still loving Russell Morris. Good work!
in the early 80's my brother featured in a video. It was the Ben Nevis hangliding championships. Russel Morris' song "Wings of an Eagle" featured as the theme song. To this day I still hum and sing it. Wonderfull talanted man love his music.
Thanks for posting this song...Everyone go and see him on tour. He's still around and still sounds great. Touring at the moment with Brian Cadd, Usually small venues but still a great sound>dont miss out....
This song after all these years still sends shivers down my spine. Maybe cuz when it came out I was starting high school... Russell has such a terrific voice... Rock On :)
eldonor888 whilst I agree with you about Russell's undoubted talent, it makes no sense to denigrate John Farnham, an under rated singer on the world stage, but he certainly has the runs on the board in Australia
It used to be on youtube, and it was an excellent clip - it probably got taken down for copyright reasons. I was very sad about that, I had it saved to my favorites, I really enjoyed watching it.
Oh i love this thanks

Thanks for posting, it's one of my favourite songs by Russell Morris.
Had the pleasure of meeting him at my local RSL Club several months ago. He's a fabulous performer and a great bloke!

I also meant to say that John Farnham did a lot of hard yards before he was justly rewarded for that sheer hard work and talent.
