Paul Norton - Southern Sky (Remastered Audio)

Mushroom Records 1990 ©

Taken from his superb 1990 album "Under The Southern Sky" this is "Southern Sky" by renowned Melbourne musician "Paul Norton".

Paul Norton started playing bass in various bands in his teens, which led to the formation of Melbourne band The Runners. After a couple of years of constant live work The Runners were signed to Mushroom records in 1981 and released their first single Sure Fire Thing in 1982 followed by The album Hitting the Wall and the single Endlessly. The Runners toured constantly throughout the early eighties and went through many line up changes before disbanding in 1985.

Paul spent the next couple of years playing with various bands (Wendy and the Rocketts, Steve Hoy and the Hoy Boys) before launching a solo career in 1988. Again signed to Mushroom Records Paul released his first single "Stuck On You" which received immediate airplay and got to number 2 on the Australian charts. Paul then went to London to work with producers Paul Muggleton and Mike Paxman on the next single I Got You and the album "Under a Southern Sky" (the song "Southern Sky" was later chosen for Australia Day Celebrations at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney).

20 years ago, as a young Londoner I spent a year in Sydney during the time this song came out. For years later I tried to find it but couldnt for the life of me remember who wrote it or what it was called. So glad I have at last found it, takes me back to beautiful Sydney and being 20 again every time I play it. Great memories of a time I will never know again.

What song, other than Waltzing Matilda can bring a lump to the throat and chill up the spine to an Aussie?, this song of course!.

An excellent, under-rated singer, he has been married to Wendy Stapleton (Wendy & The Rocketts) for years and they have a daughter.
