Saw him perform in Wellington in 1981. Right in the middle of our springbok tour demonstrations. He was very forthright on stage about racism and the tour. The most incredible entertainer I've ever seen.
If he had invited the audience to stand on their heads at the end of the concert, I'm sure half of us would have tried. Listen to his "Jombie Jamboree" and "Winding Roads" from his album at the Greek Theatre to get a true feeling of the depth of talent this man had and surely still has.
Happy Birthday Harry
