Post 731 - Vikki Broughton - Good Good Morning - Anyone Who Had A Heart

 

Vikki Broughton born in 1954, was the first act to be signed for TV show Young Talent Time by Kevin Lewis the original executive producer of the show and partner in the company with Johnny Young. Later he also produced several episodes on  the Peter Couchman show also on channel 10 and Vikki was part of the pilot. After YTT she was managed by Duane d Zigliotto and had a very successful career in cabaret locally in Asia, Japan and Europe sharing the stage with international stars such as Abba, Pink Ladies, Umberto Tozzi,Teresa Teng to name a few. Vikki married a successful Melbourne Barrister and retired from her singing career. As far as I can find out this is the only single Vikki released on L&Y Records in 1975 "Good Good Morning" b/w "Anyone Who Had A Heart" (K-5932). It was produced by Johnny Young with the B side produced by Duane Zigliotto. She was backed by Select. flac
