June 04, 2023 Beatles Covers
I would guess no band in history has spawned as many covers as the Beatles. Some covers are mediocre but there are others which transcend the original. Australia has produced some memorable Beatle covers such as John Farnham’s impressive version of Help. The Zoot’s heavy rock version of Eleanor Rigby was praised by John Lennon. Johnny Young also impressed with his sumptuous cover of All My Loving. Lesser known but still good covers are David and Jonathan with Michelle and the Truth’s Girl. And who can forget Shirley Bassey’s heart rending version of the George Harrison classic Something.

June 02, 2023 Devil or Angel
This week we say farewell to Australia’s Broderick Smith of the Dingoes and Broderick Smith’s Big Combo along with American favourite Gordon Lightfoot.
Are You an Angel or a Devil? Everyone has at least some angelic qualities and everyone has some devilish ones and songwriters over the years have written a variety of songs around these qualities. This week’s theme reveals songs that refer to the word DEVIL or its antonym ANGEL in their titles. Impish songs include Cliff Richard’s and Marty Robbins‘ ‘Devil Woman’. Saintly songs have both Charley Pride and Merrilee Rush seeing Angels in the morning while Bobby Vee just can’t decide between ‘Devil or Angel‘.
