Show Notes
Occasional Duets
There’s a feast of talent in this program as big stars join together to produce great songs. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder combine with their plea for racial equality with Ebony And Ivory. Fifties stars Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly combine with their million seller True Love and in the same era Jazz great Dinah Washington teams up with Brook Benton with the jaunty You’ve Got What It Takes. Legends Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer rev it up with (No More Tears) Enough Is Enough. And in a memorable performance another legend David Bowie joins Freddy Mercury and Queen with Under Pressure. The Aussie selection is our own rock star Johnny O’Keefe performing with Margaret McClaren for their version of Mockingbird.

Pop songs from the ANTIPODES (Australia and New Zealand) span decades of iconic chart toppers, indie pop gems and alternative rock. This week’s episode includes the four time grammy winner Olivia Newton John with Xanadu, New Zealand’s art pop group Split Enz with their melodic I Hope I Never. Allison McCallum’s Superman and Max Merritt and the Meteors’ Western Union Man are also great artists from across the Tasman. Mental as Anything’s debut song The Nips are Getting Bigger, Kamahl’s The Sounds of Goodbye along with the Go Betweens and Christie Allen serve as Australian representatives.
In this program our podcaster, Penn, takes centre stage and chooses songs they have some connection with. Many songs are associated with Penn growing up and family such as Father And Son, Cats In The Cradle and from his infancy Cradle Of Love. Penn tells stories of sadness and joy and yearning for a simpler time like Mary Hopkin in Those Were The Days.
