Blackfeather - Boppin The Blues

7385 Milo Bridge

Many moons ago, someone told me he knew BLACKFEATHER & he could get this piano music for me. I gave him my details.

You can guess the rest: no further contact !!!

My favourite Australian single of all time. Charlie Tumahai striking vocals. I loved going to see them back in the day. The early to mid 70s were the best, so many talented musos and bands. Soectrum , king Harvest, friends, Leo de Castro, Billy Green, Doug Parkinson. Though I’m four years younger than Mark Kennedy I knew him well as his brother Ross was my best mate and Mark would get us into gigs. Has there been a better Australian rythym section than Mark Kennedy and the ‘wiz’ Duncan Maguire? They played in so many of those great bands and Mark’s drum solos are legendary. I use to help roadie for Ayres Rock for any gigs they did in Melbourne and Andy would pay me in dope haha, we’d all be happy.

No different than tens of thousands of men in this country if the crime involves a woman you may as well end it because you will be punished for the rest of your life

Never saw these guys. Dunno why. Bloody good though.

How good is that piano player😅

The first single I ever purchased. Still have it to this day.

Great memories. They don’t make music like this anymore.

Timeless ❤ It also helps me bop my own blues (depression) 😊thank you

Great Aussie rock

I had this on a 45 record back in the day - what a poppy tune.

This is what Ronnie James Dio was doing before joining Rainbow.

Back in the days when music videos only cost about $200 to make.

The drummer went on to have a great tennis career

I can't believe this song and Seasons of Change are the same band and both considered excellent in their genre.

39 nevrr forget till alzheimers just hope i keep the tunes not really lolz just yeahhhh

Still love it

Pop pop poppin’ the juice... if you know, you know...

Just imagine all that hair on the shower floor...

Back in the days when the police would give U a damn good bashing and send you on your way if they caught you misbehaving on the drink.

This song rips

Is this a joke?

love boppin
the blues i was 9

This lead singer has all the characteristic and mannerisms of Stevie wright

A great Song at a time when one could actually hear the Lirics !...

Sorry so busy boppin the blues i couldnt spell. Its meant to be transported me back to a wonderful time 😀

Wow i havent heard this song for a long time it takes me back to my youth, partying and dancing at the pub. Its so long ago but hearing this transpirt me back to a wonderful time 👀😊

That was there big hit.
But i like there early songs.
And the first album mountain
Of madness. Season of change
And on this day I die.
Lp came out in 1971.
Cheers.

Oh my goodness one most boring songs I had heard as a kid, but one the most most memorable, because it spent so long at the top and being boring, and the fact that it was replaced at the top by the song 'Popcorn' by Hot Butter. The first record that I ever bought for myself.

It was twelve o'clock when the ponies snogged? :)

This post has been here for ages but fuck it, it's worth commenting on this timeless beauty. Thanks

Horrible.

I did at paddo town hall, such fun...the memories❤️

VERY VERY GOOD..............................................................

One of the best drummers in the history of Australian music, Greg Sheehan.

The drummer is amazing

Love the Warren😘😘😘👍

💃

Strong piano playing.

I think Springsteen wanted to put this cover on born to run

Nice. But sounds a little like something that would be played at a Catholics United for Virginity dance.

ROCK ON!

🇭🇲🙏🤭🌬️♀️❣️💥😷

I have my brother staying with because he doesnt want to go home to Tasmania to isolate for 2 weeks, so I said I can stay as long as he wants. We were listening to this song last night on here, and he said, " I want you to play a song, but I dont think you will like it," this is that song. What a great Boppy song this is. He ate his words, I am 73 years old and volunteered in Community Radio for 20 years.

One of my dads favourite songs! RIP dad. Always good memories

This is one of the best Aussie songs IMO....great party song and band....awesome !!!! My adult kids learned this song early on in their childhood...my duty as an Aussie mum....lol.....timeless song. Oh ..the nights spent dancing our tits off to these guys...unreal !!!

Egg sandwich

I had this song on my list of a compilation tape of Aussie music I made when I went overseas on holiday in Ireland over 30 years ago. 3 years later the same tape and me came back home. And , yes, I still have that tape and still play it.
