Glenn Shorrock

Glenn Barrie Shorrock (born 30 June 1944) is an English-born Australian singer-songwriter. He was a founding member of pop groups The Twilights, Axiom and Little River Band as well as being a solo performer.
The Twilights had eight consecutive national hit singles including "Needle in a Haystack" and "What's Wrong with the Way I Live". Axiom's top 10 hits were "Arkansas Grass", "Little Ray of Sunshine" and "My Baby's Gone". Little River Band had national and international chart success, including the Shorrock-penned "Emma", "Help Is on Its Way" and "Cool Change".
Shorrock was inducted into the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) Hall of Fame as a solo artist in 1991 and as a member of Little River Band in 2004. In May 2001 the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA), as part of its 75th Anniversary celebrations, named "Cool Change" as one of the APRA Top 30 Australian songs of all time.
==Early years==
Glenn Barrie Shorrock was born on 30 June 1944 in Chatham, Kent, England. His family migrated to Adelaide, South Australia on the ''Orcades''〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=7310424&isAv=N )〕 in August 1954 when he was ten.〔 His father was a Yorkshire-born fitter and turner at the Weapons Research Establishment in Salisbury.〔 The 1954–55 summer had days of and Black Sunday bushfires ravaged the Adelaide Hills in January 1955.〔 His London-born mother was not impressed with Australia, and she took Shorrock and his younger sister back to UK on the ''Strathmore'',〔 〕 only to return to Australia on the ''Fairsea''〔 〕 for a second attempt in 1956.〔 The family settled in Elizabeth north of Adelaide.〔
Shorrock's first public performance took place in 1958 in a Lutheran church hall—he was miming to Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" on a gramophone and strumming on a cardboard guitar when the player stopped—he was forced to continue singing by himself and realised he had a good voice.〔〔
In 1962, Shorrock formed his first band, The Checkmates, with Clem McCartney, Mike Sykes and Billy Volraat.〔 They were a doo wop harmony group covering The Platters and The Crew Cuts material.〔 Sometimes teaming up with instrumental groups The Vector Men or The Hurricanes, The Checkmates performed in Adelaide cafes and folk clubs.〔 As a result of The Beatles' popularity, members of The Checkmates and The Hurricanes merged to form The Twilights in 1964.〔〔
