Love this song ... after a show my friend and i went around the back of the old Capital Théâtre in Sydney & to our surprise Billy Thorpe was walking along the street ,he had made an exit out the back of the Théâtre ,we had our Autograph books with us ...i can remember that moment like yesterday ...he was in a suit I couldn't take my eyes of him as he signed my Autograph Book ...he was so polite ,his skin was perfect ...& so was his cologne ...i was surprise he was far shorter than he looked on stage ... A Magic moment in time ...that will stay with me forever ....
Loved Billy Thorpe and used to dance to his songs many years ago at surf City king's Cross , he does sing the best version of somewhere over The rainbow there is no one that can sing it as good
Best version I've ever heard!..Billy Thorpe takes his time in delivering the words in the song!..that's the key of this song!...Billy knew that!... and that's why I think Bill sung it this way and made this song is special!..God bless!
Never mentioned , HE toured with Slim Dusty and was a great yodeler. 1964 I saw him singing and yodeling at The Beach House , Saturday nights , Elizibeth St Sydney and Surf City ,at the Cross. Also Ray Brown.both went too early.
Nigon Kouk The Platters recorded this around 1958, 6 -7 years before this version. Hardly a "con man" Sure, like a lot of singers he did cover versions early in his career. He's another he did shorty before his death. ruclips.net/video/m62gip2biWs/видео.html
Thanks to RUclips I can relive my memories of Billy Thorpe's fabulous voice -
My thoughts exactly! Back to 1970.

He never came back to Brisbane,,his best mate? Douglas lived opposite us,,,his goodbye party was at that house..away to be famous...he certainly was..
So likeable RIP doll
Another great English voice on the Aussie music scene.
How good was billy Thorpe
Simply Great
At the Aztecs top there was not a group anywhere who was better.
What year ?65?
HE LOOKS LIKE A YOUNG DONALD TRUMP .
he was trying to be a successful con man'' :[) LoL this sound is the same as a famous american song around that time
Are you talking about The Platters?

Mental Giant
I wonder if they did cover songs back then
