Billy had such a great gift. Totally mesmerized the audience and I was so lucky to have gone to a lot of his concerts. My first true love in music. RIP Billy, never forgotten. ♫

I remember this being released (shows my age) and several years later Sunbury. Huge difference in both singing style and looks but his voice was excellent, no matter the genre. Great talent and sadly missed.

Lynette..like you I saw Billy and the Aztecs at Surf City and the Beachouse every weekend right through those mid 60’s when he was there with Ray Brown and the Whispers. We’re so blessed to share those great memories of these absolute talented Aussie legends !

Thank you for the memory of a clean cut young man who sang songs we all loved to hear, but unfortunately he followed so many others in to what I term as alternative pop music and left me wondering the reason why.

+Paul Culwell Judy Garland sang it way back in 1939 and it's the original. She sung it 25 years before Thorpe's version.

Billy was wonderful in his early days, sadly became so full of his own self importance people would walk out. The music so loud (can you believe that?) When asked to turn in down, he would turn it up!!! Most would just leave you can't enjoy a pub band when it's so loud you can't hear what they are singing!!! This however from the early days in beautiful and how we like to remember him and the Aztecs!!!! :)
