Jane Scali was a prominent singer on Australia's "Young
Talent Time" hosted by Johnny Young during the seventies. Her numerous
appearances on the Don Lane, Bert Newton, Mike Walsh and the Midday Show with
Ray Martin has made her one of the most popular and successful female
performers in Australia today. John St.Peeters has achieved a number of
chart-topping singles, including “Deep Inside of Me”, “High Class Woman”, “So
Many Ways”, and “Wonderworld”. He also recorded a single called “Street Kids”,
donating royalties to the Open Family Foundation, to help the plight of the
youth of today. In 1985 John & Jane released a single for Powderworks “I
Need That Someone To Love” b/w “One Kiss Away” (POW 0255), the single was
produced by Spencer Lee. In 1986 the couple released an LP “I Got You Babe” but
this single didn’t appear on the album. mp3
Melbourne singer Terry Dean formed country rock band
Bluestone in 1972. Terry had enjoyed an extremely successful solo career
recording a number of hit records, performing regularly in Melbourne and
interstate and appearing nationally on TV shows including The Go Show, and
Happening 70. In the sixties he released two singles I know of called “It’s You”
and “Git It” on the GO label. Here to download is his single for Fable Records
from 1975 “Runaround Sue” b/w “Time And Tide” (FB-315). Dean formed the successful duo Dean &
Carruthers with Garry Carruthers and they celebrated 25 years on the road in
July, 2010. Terry recently established Terry Dean's Guitars selling some of the
world's finest acoustic instruments. mp3
Yet another one of those Aussie bands that the books seem to
forget about. There’s no listing where Karisma came from, all I can find is that this
is the only single release for Fable Records from November 1973. Band members
are Kerry Freeman, Dallas De Brahunder, Linda Cornaughton and Jeanette Freeman
all on vocals. The single “Clap Your Hands And Stamp Your Feet” b/w “Wonderful,
Wonderful” (FB-204), was produced by Tweed Harris at Bill Armstrong Studios
Melbourne. So like so many other posts like this one we’ll rely on maybe some relation,
the tea lady or the guy that owned the fish & chip shop next door to maybe
come forward with some for info on the girls.mp3
