Down Under and one over

All from down under with one from over our heads.

From Kiwiland -

Fourmyula - with the song voted as the greatest NZ popular song of of last century - Nature. Excellent song from this great Upper Hutt (where I lived for a number of years with both my children being Upper Huttians) group, with the simply superb Wayne Mason.
The Best song of the Century ?? - an excellent song but headed off by Blue Smoke in my opinion. I would rate Pokarekare Ana as the greatest but was it a 'Pop' song??
So my top 3 are Pokare, Blue Smoke and Nature.
Also they sing another great hit Come go with me.

Johnny Devlin with 5 minutes more & Susie Darling
Ray Columbus & the Invaders with She's a mod - the first NZ pop song to top the Oz charts.

And the Aussies -
Frank Ifield - Abdul Abulbul Amir
Deltones - Come a little bit closer

And not an Aussie but an Oz song - Michael Holiday and Little Boy Lost. Other versions were posted on 6 April and 23 June this year.

And the one from over - well overhead John Stewart (ex Kingston Trio) with his song honouring the man who walked on the moon 40 years ago last month Armstrong.

Listen
here and not up there when, on a July afternoon, a man named Armstrong walked upon the moon.
