Australian rock and roll singer Billy Thorpe had a huge hit with this ballad in the 1960s. Set to animated brook scenes.

This was the song that proved and still proves beyond any doubt that the great man wasn't just a Rocker. Had Billy been born a generation or two earlier he would have been remembered as one of the great classic voices of all time. We lost you to soon mate and a lot of us still miss you.

MY very favourite song - can't beat this one. Such a magical voice. Can listen to this song all day every day. Love you Billy. You are now at peace resting in bliss. Miss you. Saw your last concert down the Gold Coast (I was in the very front row right in front of you - seems like only yesterday) before you went Overseas and you never came back. Love you always.❤❤❤

This is simply beautiful. Billy deserved a massive hit with this lovely performance. He had star quality in abundance.
@joanimlach63552 жыл бұрын
Star quality is an understatement. He was so talented, awesome, and he sang like an angel. Nothing but the best. Especially I told the Brook and Somewhere over the rainbow. The latter I have chosen to be played at my funeral. I'm not that young and have all his music still and still listening.

I told the brook and somewhere over the rainbow are two songs that showcased Bill's voice to it amazing ability ..and in fact the song Somewhere over the rainbow has been covered by so many people over the years and if you put them all together and listen to them all one after another ( I have done this ) not one of them can come even close to Billy Thorpes version he just blows away any competition including Judy garland ( original 1939 ) and every time I hear Billy sing this song I have wet eyes ! so sad to have lost this Enormous Australian talent at such a young age ....R.I.P. Billy !
