JULY 2006

"The Melbourne Sun Newspaper"

Who are the hottest singers on the charts: The Veronicas, The Young Divas, Pink? Nope- Kamahl and Barry Crocker. I kid you not. That’s of course, if you’re looking for music in 'op shops'. Melbourne Record Collectors, a group of second-hand traders who organize record fairs, have compiled statistics that show the pair at No.1 and No.2 on the op shop hit parade. Of course, that could mean their music is the least popular. Why are people so unkind?

"On the 29th of April I was extremely honoured to be included in the Variety Club's "ENTERTAINERS OF THE CENTURY"

presentation at Melbourne's DOCKLANDS. To stand alongside my hero's from the past and present in a magnificent painting by JAMIE COOPER was the supreme compliment indeed. I am also honoured with a star on the Walk of Fame, and part of a giant mosaic (of the painting) that graces one of the complex's walls. Thank you Melbourne, and VARIETY. BARRY.
