Chad Morgan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chadwick William 'Chad' Morgan (born February 11, 1933) is an Australian comedic singer/guitarist renowned for his vaudeville style of comic country and western songs, his prominent teeth, and goofy stage persona. In reference to his first recording he is known as The Sheik of Scrubby Creek.
He was born in Wondai, Queensland and raised by his grandparents. Chad was discovered through Australia's Amateur Hour and started recording with Regal Zonophone (a subsidiary of EMI) in 1952. His songs are peppered with Australian slang (One CD compilation is entitled Sheilas, Drongos, Dills and Geezers).
He toured extensively, including the Slim Dusty Show, the All Star Western Show and his own Chad Morgan Show. He has been prolific in his recorded output, and his live performances. He was inducted into the Australasian Country Music Roll of Renown in January 1987, and awarded an OAM in 2004.
