A Son of the Rock

I saw in The Guardian that Tom Springfield (brother of Dusty) has died. The pair made their name in the group The Springfields before Dusty left to go solo and Tom concentrated on his songwriting, particularly for The Seekers whose lead singer Judith Durham I noted here.

This country tinged song was the first time I became aware of either Tom or his sister.

Tom Springfield (Dionysius Patrick O’Brien:) 2/7/1934 – 27/7/2022. So it goes.
