So glad I was a child of the 60's, a teenage boy in the 70's, long in the tooth by the 80's and so on. Growing up in Australia with the great Australian bands and soloists of the great epic eras of musical geniuses just brings back many beautiful memories. Missing these great golden days.

Brian Cadd, Skyhooks, Sherbert, Jamie Redfern, Colleen Hewitt, Col Joye, Little River Band....Australia.....wonderful times......only when its gone do you realise how great it was
I agree, we took it for granted and thought it would last forever. Now we have Justin Beaver and X Factor singers who cant write a song or play an instrument.
And you mentioned Jamie Redfern in that list, I wish they'd have given him better material! Instead of "Little White Cloud", Jamie's first single in 1971 should've been a redo of the Johnny Young 1968 hit, "It's A Sunny Day", and flip it with the Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb song, "Craise Finton Kirk". Jamie would've topped the charts with the single and Liberace would've flipped out even further! Of the twelve songs on that first LP, just two should've been kept, "I Thank You" and "Try A Little Kindness" with a small band rather than an orchestra, the rest of the songs should've been ditched. The LP retitled "Introducing Jamie Redfern". Of the eight other songs Jamie's managers should've raided the Herman's Hermits, Gene Pitney(Jamie Redfern's & Gene Pitney's voices were similar), Johnny Young and perhaps Ronnie Burns back-catalogues for content. Instead of aiming Jamie at the Mum & Dad, Gran'ma and Gran'pa brigade, they should've aimed him at his own age group, mid-teens. He'd still have been popular with all ages anyway.
Aussie singers songwriters in the 70's were so talented and grossly underrated. This song is so beautiful, likes of Russell Morris 'Wings of an eagle".
One of the first songs I heard on Aussie radio after coming to Australia in 1972. Makes you wonder how some of the quality Australian records like this one weren't big sellers overseas. Half a century later it still screams 'excellence'.
I'm a yank and unfortunately I'm not familiar with these great aussie bands unless they had hits in the states. I'm very happy that l found these sites! These musicians are so talented and the music is so great! I'm enjoying this so much. Thanks for the awesome music.
Bryan Cadd toured the states in the 1970's and he lived there for several years as well as the UK. He didnt quite make it overseas and ended up producing country music in Nashville for years before coming back to Australia in 1997. He still performs, produces and teaches music today. He was inducted into the ARIA Hall Of Fame in 2007.
Check out Australian Crawl, Midnight Oil, Hunters and collectors, Cold Chisel, The Models, Joe camilleri, Sports, INXS, Baby Animals, Skyhooks, mondo Rock, Daddy Cool, Hoodoo Gurus, Mental as anything, Powderfinger, Dragon, Noiseworks, Goanna, The Saints ..........Rock'n'fucking'roll dude.
All the longing and learning in his voice about life mile stones of life right of passage that mature him l love this guy God bless you Brian Cadd for more than a song
What a fantastic talent. I was 14 in 1972 and remember this great era of Australian music with such fondness. If only we could turn back the clock. Thanks for posting; this is going straight into my favorites.
You know its' amazing to see so many people from my era wanting to turn back time. I'm the same! Sorry to young people today, but I wouldn't swap what I've experienced from those days for anything they have now.
G'day King Vegemite, no that bloke was the butcher in Rushworth in central Victoria but you're correct mum said one of her uncles moved to Western Australia she said she never saw him again.
G'day KV, I was talking to mum who's 87 she said her great aunt Jessie Anderson (white) went over to WA between the first and Second World War her daughter married Brian's dad 👍.
Bought tickets to see Brian Cadd with Russell Morris 2 years back, but they cancelled the show. My greatest wish is still to see him live. I don't have the financial means to go to the capital cities to see him, and I fear he will pass before I can fulfill my dream. Love this song.
On my way way to Les Deaux Magots who did I run into? Brian Cadd sat down had a chat what a great man. Inspirational in life & song . An Australian treasure.
I heard Brian doing sound tests at the THEN "International Sports Centre" in Newcastle in the early 70's, I so wanted to be in the Audience, Those words still mean as much to me today as they did then! It's Now Knights Stadium! Gingerman will always be my Favaourite
Big call. Individually, perhaps, but you've got some stiff competition with Vanda and Young and Hutchence and Farriss. I'd even put Steve Kilby and Iva Davis up there too
@Smoofee He put years into producing aussie talent. I think he achieved what he wanted to and then decided to give others the benefit of his experience. Without Bian Cadd you would not have hald the talent that made it past their first hit single!
Australia punched WAY above its weight when it came to singer/songwriters through the early 1970s with Ted Mulry, Kevin Johnson, Hans Poulsen, John J. Francis, G. Wayne Thomas, Russell Morris, Brian Cadd and more! K-Tel could've put out a 20-hits album from any year filled entirely with Australian content alone and they'd have to bash out three times as many copies as they'd normally press for any of their other releases. Such would be the demand!
[Circa 2019?] I just adore this song ; I really do. I think it's one of the most genuinely poignant folk-rock songs I've heard in many a moon. The piano-playing is so incredibly wistful, and when Brian Cadd sings "Ginger Man, follow me home...", the aching longing in his voice is palpable. But I need to know...who is the Ginger Man? And why does Brian Cadd (or, I mean to say, the narrator of the song) want the Ginger Man to follow him home? Oh, won't someone *please* tell me?
The ginger man l think is his young inner man that is not yet totally strong but with each life experience he matures and the ginger man who is himself gets sweeter and he learns to love himself by the time he gets home he’s grown through pain and grief his father dying “when l was a child l thought as a child but now lam a man” (Bible) He can love that part of him the inner sweet 3:56 inner child frail weak that can crumble under pressure that is a part of him strengthened “know thy self” also from Bible. Or ginger man could be Holy Spirit of Jesus

The 70,s where the golden years of music for sure..glad i was part of it unlike today's commercialized rubbish
You are too polite!
Remember sitting on my loungeroom floor listening to this in 1974. Kudos Brian Cadd. What a great time to be alive!

Couldn't agree more!!!
I love this guy. Met him and his wife through work. An absolutely charming and talented man back then and remains the same today. I just know it.
Brian ,you're one of the BEST....always!
Pure genius!! If he was American he would be regarded as he should be!! Unbelievable performer, sensational song writer! Aussie legend!!!

Please stop! My heart is breaking. Yes, I was there.

Wow! I love you. Your taste in music makes my heart melt.

Still listening at 61. Grew up with Cadd. Morris etc. ♥️

don't forget Rose Tattoo - the inspiration behind the name of Guns n Roses.
One the drivers behind LRB, many songwriting credits with them
All the longing and learning in his voice about life mile stones of life right of passage that mature him l love this guy God bless you Brian Cadd for more than a song
What a fantastic talent. I was 14 in 1972 and remember this great era of Australian music with such fondness. If only we could turn back the clock. Thanks for posting; this is going straight into my favorites.
I was 14 also in the same year. this song brings back great memories for me of surfing at Cronulla in the early 1970s...
oh CAD!! You never disappointed me. what a beautiful voice .you sing from your heart. I'll listen to yours any time of the day. Go CAD go!!
1972 i was just 20 when i first fell in love
The years have been good to me….being in love not so much. One constant was the brilliant music back then
the 70s were a great time in the aussie music scene. and Brian Cadd awesome
I was 11 when this came out. I hate living as an adult in this time. I would LOVE to have been an adult in the early 70s
+Annie1962 then you would’ve been in your early, mid, late 60’s, 70’s, 80’s in 2020
Saw Brian perform a couple of years back and he is as awesome today as every, I was only 14 when this came out...wow
You know its' amazing to see so many people from my era wanting to turn back time. I'm the same! Sorry to young people today, but I wouldn't swap what I've experienced from those days for anything they have now.
More meaning in one bar of this than a year of radio Pap nowadays, says the old lady who tells the truth:)
still one of my favourite songs from Brian. timeless.
Great Australian talent sung by a great Australian artist!!!
Love this song ❤️
What a wonderful time in history for music ..... Lets go back there....
Brian Cadd is easily Aussies greatest EVER talent! Dont bother ringing me up about it!
I AGREE
His great grandmother and my great great grandfather were husband and wife and I've got the photo and he looks like her 👍🇦🇺.
G'day King Vegemite, no that bloke was the butcher in Rushworth in central Victoria but you're correct mum said one of her uncles moved to Western Australia she said she never saw him again.
G'day KV, I was talking to mum who's 87 she said her great aunt Jessie Anderson (white) went over to WA between the first and Second World War her daughter married Brian's dad 👍.
What can I say awesome was back then and awesome now absolute legend Aussie singer song writer
What a song, what a singer...absolutely awesome. Luv him to bits.
What a wonderful song from a genius.
We had so many good writers and local artists back then that were world class.

I love Brian CADD , I seen him play back in 1987 at rooty hill RSL ,epic performance !
Are yes, Shagger's Ridge - I knew it well.

Such a great song, and a super performance.
So many happy memories from these days, especially music like this
One of Aussies best and a classic beautiful song

Love this song it’s embossed in my memory and emotions thanks Brian
Was my favorite song then and stll is now...so many memories return when i listen to this :)
I heard Brian doing sound tests at the THEN "International Sports Centre" in Newcastle in the early 70's, I so wanted to be in the Audience,
Those words still mean as much to me today as they did then!
It's Now Knights Stadium!
Gingerman will always be my Favaourite
Brian Is still performing
Must rank 2nd as greatest Australian pop composer/singer behind only the Bee Gees
inxs?
the bee geees were English.born there and went back as soon as thy could.
Big call. Individually, perhaps, but you've got some stiff competition with Vanda and Young and Hutchence and Farriss. I'd even put Steve Kilby and Iva Davis up there too
@@SnoopReddogg I'd agree that Vanda & Young would be stiff competition for a top spot
The Bee Gees were born in Australia
Classic music just to make you feel great
a month or so back in perth with russell morris it was a very good show..still play his music great music ,timeless..........
one of the best aussie songs ever.....
Remember this as a small child

Ginger man is his inner man maturing
More than a song
@Smoofee He put years into producing aussie talent. I think he achieved what he wanted to and then decided to give others the benefit of his experience. Without Bian Cadd you would not have hald the talent that made it past their first hit single!
♫♫♫ Beautiful song ! ♫♥♫

Classic song
ONE OF THE BEST
It was good to take a piece of this into my hearing
You nailed it with that comment Greg! Cheers. Pete.
Love that song
it was only yesterday

Ginger being a natural pain killer ginger man follow me home l need you to stay with me help me along life’s way you are me part of me

Ginger the root spice is a natural pain killer also
