I saw him live once!  :goodjob:

He appeared a bit intoxicated, but I still enjoyed it.  :goodjob:

Nine and a Half Weeks is perhaps when I first knew of him and assumed he was a Yank. Then again You are so Beautiful is older, I guess. Thing is, when all they do is sing, most sound Yank. :confused:

Funny you should say that about the accent, Gonz.
I've always felt that (with a few notable exceptions) singers lose their accent when they sing.

Aussie notables to me are Missy Higgins and Midnight Oil. Just about everyone else 'loses' it to Yank. :winker:

I like Missy Higgins too (she needs training) but I can't stand Midnight Oil.  :sicky:
