13.01.2022 It's a sad farewell to hitmaker Max Merritt. OZ ROCK LEGEND PASSES: Australian and New Zealand Hall of Fame recipient, Max Merritt, 79, passed away today, Thursday 24 September 2020, in a Los Angeles hospital after a long battle with his failing health. Best known for his hit songs, Slipping Away and Western Union Man, Max’s health had been in decline since being diagnosed with Goodpasture syndrome, a rare but serious autoimmune disease that attacks the lungs and kidneys. ... Long time friend and Personal Manager, Wal Bishop, said Max had been on dialysis three days every week since he fell ill back in 2007. He really put up a great fight and will be sadly missed by all that knew and loved him. In October 2007, the entertainment industry rallied in support of Merritt with a concert that raised well over $200,000.00 for him. Bishop said, Over 20 household name artists, including Daryl Braithwaite, John Paul Young, James Reyne and Ross Wilson, came together with over 50 Musicians and 70 production crew to support the man that was greatly admired’. Born in Christchurch on 30 April 1941, Merritt made Australia his home and became the undisputed king of Soul. During the 60s, he moved to the UK before settling down in Los Angeles in the 70s. He continued to tour Australia and New Zealand regularly until 2007, "Max had been unable to perform live over the past 13 years but, when he felt up to it, would go into the studio to record. He even shot a video to go with the tracks, it’s a shame he won’t be around to see it. Max Merritt is survived by his daughter Kelli, son Josh and three grandchildren.

03.01.2022 English rocker, Marc Bolan was born in London UK on this day, September 30, 1947. Marc had become a huge star in the UK, and at sometime in the early to mid-'70s, he was probably the biggest pop star we had. He had a massive teenybopper audience, yet secretly the cool rock music lovers in Australia appreciated how good he really was. After starting off in a small duet Bolan shortened the group's name to T. Rex and wrote and recorded Ride a White Swan, dominated by a rolling, ...hand-clapping back-beat and Bolan's electric guitar (he was a great guitarist). When released, the single took forever to work its way into the charts, eventually peaking at No.2 His first Australian Top 10 single was Hot Love in 1971. Other Australian chart hits included Get it On 71, Jeepster 71, Telegram Sam 72, Metal Guru 72, Children of the Revolution 72, Solid Gold Easy Action 73 and 20TH Century Boy 1973. On 16th Sept 1977, the 29 year old singer was killed instantly when the car driven by his girlfriend, Gloria Jones, left the road and hit a tree in Barnes, London. The couple were on the way to Bolan's home in Richmond after a night out at a Mayfair restaurant. Bolan's music lives on today on the radio, in television ads and in movie soundtracks. See more
