Double-sided hit with Kiss Me Now.
Johnny Young: Western Australian singer, songwriter, radio announcer and TV compere, real name John De Jong. In later years he became best known for his long-running youth variety show Young Talent Time and the associated talent school, but his greatest claim to pop fame is for having written the Russell Morris classic The Real Thing.
Double-sided hit with Be-Bop-a-Lula in some places.
From the album Children Of The Rain, also a single, by singer, actor and radio presenter born in Rhodesia (now
Zimbabwe). See his biography at the Rhodesian Music Website.
