Show Notes
In the Mid 1960’s Ray Brown and The Whispers were as big as any other band in Australia. Their popularity rivalled that of Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs and The Easybeats.
Incredibly the bands first three singles went straight to the top, going all the way to number 1 on the Sydney charts. The bands fourth single reached number 2.
They may not hold the reverence as a band that they once did, however, for many fans of the day, Ray Brown and The Whispers are still regarded as one of our finest bands of the time.
Thanks to The Whispers guitarist Lawrie Barclay for the use of his memoirs for this episode and thank you to Dean Mackin for providing the voice of Lawrie.
