Billy Thorpe: Keep Rockin': Celebrating an Australian Music Legend
Author: Dino Scatena
Author: Lynn Thorpe
There was and will only be one Billy. Talented, determined, fiercely independent and with one helluva voice, Australian music legend Billy Thorpe left an indelible impression on our pop culture and our musical history.
Keep Rockin' celebrates the legend and the life of Billy Thorpe in comprehensive style, with dozens of interviews - from people as diverse as Mick Fleetwood, Jimmy Barnes and Olivia Newton-John - as well as hundreds of photos, memorabilia, personal recollections from Lynn Thorpe, Billy's widow, and never-before-published material by Billy himself.
From Thorpie's early days as a child star in Brisbane to his meteoric rise with the Aztecs, his hard-rockin', hard-livin' Sunbury days and his phenomenal return to Australia in the nineties, Keep Rockin' is the definitive tribute to Billy Thorpe, as told by those who knew him best.
