@germanshepherds4ever LOL, to be fair, Jimmy sounds like Swanee seeing as he's the elder bro' and was pumping out hits while little Jimmy was fronting Fraternity after Bon Scott left. But, yeah, I know what you mean. Problem is anyone from Gen Y onwards can't remember the string of hits Swanee had compared with Chisel and Barnesy....
Having lived in Australia for many years they do have a habit of recycling people, you see the same actors singers and musicians over and over again. The worst thing they ever did was axe Countdown - it underpinned the music industry during its airing. Sorry to see that Swannee has gotten worse over time, he always was more of a shouter than a singer
