larion by Western
Australian singer, songwriter, radio announcer and TV compere, real name John De Jong (b.1947).
All My Lovin’ later became identified with Johnny Young after he used it as
the closing song for his long-running TV series Young Talent Time
(1971-1989).
Although his own hits (Step Back, Cara-Lyn, Kiss Me Now) were written by others, Young’s main claim to pop fame internationally is for having written the Russell Morris classic The Real
Thing. See also his composition The Star, recorded by Ross D. Wylie and by Herman’s Hermits.
