Sounds (TV show)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds was a popular Australian television series featuring pop and rock music. It was broadcast on Saturday mornings on the Seven Network from the late 1970s to the late 1980s.

The series premiered in late 1974, just before its longtime rival, the ABC's Countdown under the title Sounds Unlimited.

The show's producer and original host was former commercial radio DJ Graham "Spider" Webb, who later handed the compère position to ex-jockey and '60s pop singer Donnie Sutherland.

Many music stars who appeared in the show, and it is also notable as the venue for the final public appearance (on 30 September 1978) by Australian rock'n'roll legend Johnny O'Keefe, who died a week later on 6 October.
