Used to love watching Ross host Happening 70 n 71,forerunner to later rock,pop shows,were earlier ones but this show was at that time of my life,wish Foxtel would dedicate a music channel to this era,would sell heaps of subscriptions no doubt!

Johnny Young Wrote Ross's no1 hit ,The Star which is one great song.

One of the iconic presenters in the story of Australian music television - charismatic and even with the slight range evident here could pick a great song and sell it. I'm sure there are thousands of Oz pop fans who will always feel a respect and affection for the man and his music.

Ray Stevens wrote this song. That's why at the start of the video you hear Ross thanking Ray...they even show a clean-shaven picture of Ray at the beginning of the clip. Johnny wrote the other songs you mentioned in your video description.
