THE LOVED ONE

For those of you who ain't heard one of the greatest Australian tunes of all time 'The Loved One' by The Loved Ones, a Melbourne band formed in 1965, named after the Evelyn Waugh book of the same title. The signature hand claps were put in to keep the audience (who were accustomed to 'Easy Listening' records, which were oh so popular at the time) following the song. They were one of the first pop groups at the time to use Keyboard (Farfisa?) in their regular line-up. This classic is from their Blueberry Hill EP.

That's all folks...
