Raymond

What suburb/city are you from?  

Brisbane

Were you born after 1960?  

1944

Did you ever see J.O'K perform?  

Yes, many times beginning in 1958

Do you like 50's style music?  

Naturally

Would you go to a 50's style show?  

Yes

What is your fav style of music?  

Rhythm and Blues; rock'n'roll

Does radio play enough 50's style music?  

No

Did you like TV show 'Shout'?  

I liked the recreation of the performances but the story was historically incorrect

Did you like the musical play 'Shout'?  

Yes. Powerful and quite moving in places

Any comments on other Oz stars of the 50's?  

Australian stars of the 50's are very under-rated and increasingly forgotten. Vrey sad that more is not available on DVD and CD etc

Do you have any comments?  

I first saw Johnny at Cloudland supporting Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis - and actually compering the show. This was in his sideburn, kiss-curl days. I saw him later at Festival Hall, in a tent show at the Brisbane exhibition and at many league clubs and pubs. No matter how big or small the audience he always gave it everything he had. He was the living essence of rock'n'roll - ther is no other way to describe it: He was its personificaion; and he would drive audiences into an absolute frenzy. I think I have everything he ever recorded, but it is a shame that a lot of vinyl material is not now available on CD. Also there is much in private hands that has not been released - although UTUBE is a good site for seeing many old TV performances never previously released. I shook Johnny's hand a couple of times - once at the first telethon ever held in Brisbane on Channel Nine and once at the Whisky a Go-Go night club the weekend before it was firebombed.

Not really, none of them came close to Johnny as far as entertaining goes but I wish all the survivors the best.

Do you have any comments?  

I saw Johnny every year he came to Perth, went with my family. He is the best performer I have ever seen, so energetic and passionate about everything he did. I also met him once, it was my 21st birthday and my parents had taken me to see him at a night club. It was a surprise they laid on me at the last minute. When I met him I was so stunned I couldn't say a word...very embarrassing. But he had such a strong presence, it simply took your breath away. I remember he was dressed all in white from head to toe and was absolutely charming and polite.
I wish someone would come up with a DVD of one of his shows in its entirety...would be wonderful to see!

hi all
i got curious about Johnny O Keefe and bought some cds and realized who he is im into johnny Cash and find Cash an inferior entertainer to JOK but im still learning about JOK. Ive never liked Elvis but thats personal taste i like Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones and Aussie Band The Angels and Doc Neesons Angels. i find Doc Neeson very similiar to JOK as an entertainer oh and i saw Col Joye in a show years ago

thanks for being honest about JOK its nice to know he battled demons and had a devotion to his children
