Johnny Ashcroft Tribute - The Legendary Aussie Singer And His Legendary Aussie Song Of 1960 Based On A Real Life Story

Trailblazer Aussie country singer Johnny Ashcroft passed away on the 19th of May aged 94, but he leaves behind a body of work that reflects Australian life in the 40's 50's 60's and 70's, including a song that became part of the national psyche. 51 years ago a little boy was lost in the New England Ranges of NSW and a nation was on tender hooks waiting to see if he would be found. Johnny Ashcroft's song about Steven Walls became the biggest hit of 1960. FAB FM's Paul Makin looks back at Johnny's life and honours the man who recorded THAT song and so many more.  https://www.johnnyashcroft.com.au/
