This episode is on Tony Worsley and the Fabulous Blue Jays and their hit song Velvet Waters
The group came together when leading promoter Ivan Dayman teamed up Brisbane singer Tony Worsley with well known Melbourne band The Blue Jays.
Before teaming up with Tony, The Blue Jays were one of Melbourne’s most popular bands, having formed in 1959. The band went through various line up changes and included musicians Frankie Brent, Chris Lawson, Doug Stirling, Bob Johnson, Laurie Allen, Johnny Cosgrove, Alan Easterbrook, Ray Houston, Dennis Tucker, and Doug Flower.
By the time the Blue Jays had teamed up with Tony the band consisted of drummer Bob Johnson, guitarist Mal Clarke, Ray Eames on lead guitar, Paul Shannon playing sax and Royce Nicholls on Bass. Jimmy Cerezo would replace Ray Eames.
Originally Velvet Waters was an instrumental song by American band The Megatrons before Australian songwriter Dorothy Dodds added lyrics to the tune. The first version with lyrics was recorded by Bruce Gillespie.
