This was the song that proved and still proves beyond any doubt that the great man wasn't just a Rocker. Had Billy been born a generation or two earlier he would have been remembered as one of the great classic voices of all time. We lost you to soon mate and a lot of us still miss you.
MY very favourite song - can't beat this one. Such a magical voice. Can listen to this song all day every day. Love you Billy. You are now at peace resting in bliss. Miss you. Saw your last concert down the Gold Coast (I was in the very front row right in front of you - seems like only yesterday) before you went Overseas and you never came back. Love you always.❤❤❤
Star quality is an understatement. He was so talented, awesome, and he sang like an angel. Nothing but the best. Especially I told the Brook and Somewhere over the rainbow. The latter I have chosen to be played at my funeral. I'm not that young and have all his music still and still listening.
What can I say he was one of the best also had a beautiful powerful voice and we losted a wonderful singer when he passed , my friends and I had a ball every Friday Saturday and Sunday dancing to his music at Surf city kings Cross many years ago , R-I-P Billy
RIP Billy...greatest male voice of all time..imagine how his voice would sound with the quility studios these days...mind blowing...he sounded the same live or recorded
One of his many great ones. I still listen to his rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow. To me, it's the best version of the song of any artist. When I listen to Billy's songs especially this one, it takes me into another world like I am living the song. I am sure I did not breath until the song ended. Do I even make sense? So glad I have lived to hear his songs. RIP Billy. And thank you for the music.💕
🌻This is one of my old times favourites. Always remember being in the front row of your last Concert down at the Casino on the Goldie. You'll always be in my heart Billy along with your music. Somewhere Over the Rainbow. RIP forever, you are now safe and at rest. ⚘
I was 13 when I first heard Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs singing Poison Ivy loved that song. Will always remember Billy with fond memories of my teenage years and all those Aussie bands back then.
I told the brook and somewhere over the rainbow are two songs that showcased Bill's voice to it amazing ability ..and in fact the song Somewhere over the rainbow has been covered by so many people over the years and if you put them all together and listen to them all one after another ( I have done this ) not one of them can come even close to Billy Thorpes version he just blows away any competition including Judy garland ( original 1939 ) and every time I hear Billy sing this song I have wet eyes ! so sad to have lost this Enormous Australian talent at such a young age ....R.I.P. Billy !
Wonderful, never hear enough of him anymore ❤

Still listening 2024. Still love it.
The 60s
Sex, Drugs, Rock'n'Roll
Gone, but never forgotten while i'm alive.
Billie's pure voice is no more evident than when he sings this one. So sad.hes gone. but he left us some amazing music 🎇☮️😋

This is simply beautiful. Billy deserved a massive hit with this lovely performance. He had star quality in abundance.

Can't get enough of this one. Like many of the best taken way too soon
Billy lived long enough to have access to modern recording technologies and record this magnificent album...

I was 10 years old when I heard this male ballad voice and spent the rest of my life listening to these type of songs. Thanks Billy.
So much talent ....such a tragic end
Brings back Good Memories
I just love Billy Thorpe, taken way too soon 💔
Beautiful
Amazing entertainer...taken.so.young. love the purity of this one 🌧️🌞🐦
Probably my all time favourite sang by an Ozzie.
I was 13 when I first heard Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs singing Poison Ivy loved that song. Will always remember Billy with fond memories of my teenage years and all those Aussie bands back then.
Just love Billy singing the brook, plus many other songs. His songs will be with me when I pass over. Xo

I know what you mean. Billy was the he greatest music artist Australia has ever produced. RIP Billy.
Thank you. ❤️🙏
I fully agree. Billy Thorpe was an amazing entertainer and could sing just about every genre of music in his way.
Always the best version, then I heard Eva Cassidy and Billy's got to settle for a deadheat.
The best Australian song ever recorded
So beautiful ❤
I HAVE ON REPLAY
Another legend taken way to early a giant of Australian entertainment sleep well
Billy had a phenomenal voice
Absolutely brilliant song and singer.
For my granddaughter Brooke. I love you.
I always think of you Brooke when I play this one
I never thought anyone could sing better than Marty Robbins, but Billy owns this song. RIP Billy and Marty
Marty is the Greatest!
I love this ....shows his voice as at its best and strong.
Absolutely beautiful sadly missed😍
It’s a shame that people under 40 did not see this wonder artist
One of Australia's best ever voices
Yes one the greatest in Australia of all time
I just loved Billy Thorpe and this is why
My favourite..such feeling
Like John Farnham, Billy could sing any genre like they were made for him. A very special talent.
So very true ❤
This one and Over the Rainbow. Unbeatable
REALLY MISS BILLY'S SWEET VOICE💙
just love billy thorpe sing this song beautiful words
Beautiful clip. One of my favourite songs I would turn to and play on repeat during my teenage angst years.
Beautiful song. Also the artwork and video to match the song were amazing.
Talent. Just simply talent.
Billie Thorpe, so so sad he's gone. Missed by all who knew him.
Always think of my granddaughter Brooke when I play this one... Billy's best
He was easily up with the best from the US and England at the time.
No one did it better, no one ever will.
What a lovely relic
The 331st number one hit in Australia.
The best Australia had to offer.😢❤
THINKPNG ALL THOSE WEEK-END AT SURF CITY, MY OLD STOMPING GROUND

One of a kind.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Hi Brooke Cookie...I love you from Nan
Miss you Billy.❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Only one Billy Thorpe
Big big billy hit
Billy's earlier hit, nice video.
Fortunately Australians have since worked out that an Australian accent is perfectly fine.
😮
Dear Dave,try listening to the brook sung by Billy Thorpe it's great.At the moment listening to 3non blonds , what's going on.
He was born 50 years to early
Dear Dave where are you.😀😃🤔
Written by the great Marty Robbins
This song sounds like Be Gees " I started a joke which started the whole world laughing".
Not Bee Gees, written by Marty Robbins but Thorpies version does have a BeeGees feel.
Far to young
😾
I remember my dad dropping my older sisters off at the Eltham Hall and he was there lm 60 and l was probably 3 or 4
Beautiful
