Thank you to Ausmusicheritage for supplying me this video. Johnny Young in an interview in 2006 credited Barry Gibb for being his songwriting teacher. In the 60s Young went on to write 1 of the TOP Rock Anthems of all time - The Real Thing, for Russel Morris, in 1969.

  • this guy would have been kicked off "american idol" first round .... hell .... maybe off the grade school choirboy tryouts ...... SUX ..... VERY, VERY BAD ... VERY, VERY BAD

  • @frizzlefrap well... with someone with such a simplistic vocabulary, that is a very long bow to draw

  • Hi Isly, It's a very talented singer. I love this version too. I never hear this singer before and I love it very much. Thanks for sharing this one Isly.

  • @brmrobin Thank you for this kind comment! Cheers sweety

  • Hi Ilsy, thanks for uploading his very clear oldy. I love the Bee Gees covertracks from the sixties, special those from Australia, which are still very rare. Great songs !

  • Johnny Young is a fab guy, and I am hoping to get more of his old footage from him through a friend.

  • Thank heavens for the Pirate Radio Ships dotted around the UK coastline in the 60s or this wonderful song would never have been heard at all. I remember the Pirates with the greatest affection and i always will. :-)

  • Could it be any more obvious that those back-up vocals are Gibb voices? :-P

  • His voice is very high. But I LOVE THIS SONG SOOO MUCH! THE BEE GEES AND THE SIXTIES ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO AWESOME. I WISH I WERE ALIVE THEN SO BADLY!

  • fantastic memories, i heard it on the radio today and missed who the artist was, so googled "see him go on his way, oh they dont know...." and found it. I reckon i havent heard it since when it was out 1967, what great background vocals by the Bee Gees (well you wouldn't expect any less from them) thanks for posting

  • Top track ilsy, thanks for the inclusion of this offshore radio classic. We had not heard the story of the song or an interview. Though the Bee Gees are the tops, here is a rare cover also including their voices that beats their original recording

  • Interviewer is Bill Peach compare of the ABC's 1960's current affairs show "This Day Tonight".
