Contributed a lot to Kiwi music over a very long time.

RIP Ray.

1429283 2016-11-29 08:02:00 A pioneer of Kiwi Music, not my stuff, but well respected, I remember him from C'mon in the sixties (Pete Sinclair). I use to like Karyn Hay's music show though. Can't remember when she was on though. Laggard (17509)

He sang, "Where you bin all my life, oh where you bin, oh where you bin." That made him sound like any other American. I'd rather hear him sing, "She's A Mod." At least he didn't Americanise that song.

Nevertheless he was one of New Zealand's best.
