Fantastic. Russell was almost 60 when he sang this. His voice is still strong and still has range. THANK YOU, Russel Morris, for writing this masterpiece.

I honestly think he's up there with Paul McCartney and Tom Jones. Another underrated male vocalist is Doug Parkinson the guy had the world's largest vocal lungs imo.

I saw Doug live at Kirribilli RSL. Disappointingly small crowd to see the big man. Quite frankly watching him sing, drink and smoke, all at a million miles an hour I don't know how he did it. This was over 20 years ago now. @@shanerorko8076

I have been amazed by the quality of his voice and his professional performance for many many years, we never miss his shows when he visits South Australia. A genuine legend, number one in the land no doubt.
