Beginning with the dawning of the Top 40 era in 1957, these podcasts will trace the development of Australian Music through three initial series; Charts, Singers and Groups. Whilst the first batch of podcasts will move forward from 1957, later work will have a reverse focus, exploring the rich and diverse world of Australian Music pre-Top 40 era.

I enjoyed putting together Part 2 of the Col Joye Story, covering the years mid-1960 to 1961. It was a time when I first started to understand that there was such a ‘thing’ as Rock/Pop Music. Part 2 only covers 18 months but it’s a time in which Col Joye (and The Joy Boys) were at the ‘top of their game’. It was a time when the “Golden Boy” persona really came to the fore. It was also a time of ‘Dreamy Pop’ but we do unearth a couple of rockers that appeared on EPs. And there’s a track from a 1961 Bandstand episode thrown in for good measure! Enjoy Part 2 of the Col Joye Story.
