In my country, The United States, this song was a huge hit for Helen Reddy who, ironically, was born in Australia. She attained her greatest success, however, in America. While this version is ok, Helen Reddy's will move you to tears and give you the chills. No comparison, I'm sorry.

[nzoz1974]

@TheTruthHurtsAlot3 Helen Reddy is now living in Australia and works as a professional hypnotherapist. Helen Reddy is a proud Australian export (she is an Australian performer) who did vey well internationally... however, I think the mentality of Australian public at the time was to support those closer to home.. those they could actually see live. Daryl Braithwaite's popularity was not due to he being a solo performer, but as the lead singer of the very popular Sherbet; hence the # 1 status.

THIS GUY WOULDN"T PASS THE ENTRY

AUDITIONS FOR 'American Idol".

NewZealand and Australian covers artists

of this type from the 70's were Embarrasing ! In New Zealand - among

the 'Few' with any merit during the early 70's - who wrote THEIR OWN ORIGINAL MUSIC were John Hanlon, Shona Laing,

Mark and Todd Hunter from Dragon, Alistair Riddel, Tim Finn and Phil Judd, Sharon O'Neil, and Hello Sailor. Of course there were others too - but 'Original Artists' were Outnumbered by

Covers Singers

[nzoz1974]

Relax with the cap-typing, it makes one think you are reacting.

Surely, with your knowledge of early 70's music you would know that Daryl Braithwaite was the leadsinger of Sherbet - Australia's biggest teen act of the 70's, who had more original material than covers. You do know this, right? Or are you new to 70's Australasian music.

I agree with the cover-artists outnumbering originals - however, addressing Daryl Braithwaite as 'this guy' does make one feel confident in your 70's trivia.

I have to say that Daryl's version is the best!! I was 12yrs old when this came out and it touched my deeply then as it has again now. Sherbet was the band in the 70's and got to meet Alan Sandow (drummer) when he came to my work... :)

Dear wattever333: I guess I just was relating the years in the 70s. Thanks for the update. He is still my favor in the 70s time era .

[wattever333]

@Tequila484 and Cilla Black sang it in 64, and Umberto Bindi in 63.

[Tequila484]

Just remember everyone: Daryl sang this first in 1974. and Helen Reddy copied this in 1977, so who is the original singer. Yes Daryl, Australia and Canada place you first. xx tequila484

[Tequila484]

I wish to dispute the fact Helen Reddy exceeded this song. OMG: Daryl just the perfect voice and he touches my heart . To me you are number one and I will say this over and over again until the end of the world.xx tequila484

[Tequila484]

The Canadians say otherwise: your voice smokes Helen Reddy's. USA may say you have the voice , but you hold one better, you hold the heart of a Canadian gal because you made your life a part of hers by attending a funeral of someone she called he was the end of the world for her. xx tequila484. Your voice is the song.

[Tequila484]

Canada loves you. tequila484

[Tequila484]

Dear Daryl: On Oct.5th/2011. will be one year you attended Johns Cave funeral. You are my strength and respect for doing this for me. As someone posted Helen Reddy gave chills , well hon, you did one better, You live in side my heart and happy to say you are the voice of my past love, You cannot do better than that. xx tequila484.

[Tequila484]

I tried to get on the sight of higher than hope and told me could not reach this destination. can you change this for me , I live in Canada and I think it should be available as remember , ones that love and share his music live all around the world.tequila484
