Absolutely loved speaking with Mel Denton this morning! Mel challenged listeners to think about the first song ever to have a powerful impact on their lives – and her callers didn’t disappoint. My personal highlight was the bloke who loves Aussie rock who opened up about the time a song brought him to tears…

That’s what our book’s all about.

One little note though: I didn’t have the chance to jump in and point out that the legendary You’re the Voice was not in fact written by Australians! Who wrote it? Read on in 100 Years of Australian Songwriting.
