Show Notes
Diana Trask is an entertainment trail blazer – she was the first female Australian to star on prime-time television in America, she was nominated for a Grammy and is one of the few artists to cross over from Jazz and pop, to go onto have a successful career in country music.
Very few ‘outsiders’ break into Nashville, however, Diana has had 18 singles make the Billboard Country Charts. As a songwriter, she wrote a US top 10 hit for the Osmond Brothers and throughout her career Diana’s friends and tour mates have included Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell.
Diana showed the way, and fellow Oz music legends Olivia Newtown John and Helen Reddy would soon follow in her footsteps.
