Al Head - Oh Mamy Blue

Al Head was a powerfully voiced Sydney based folk singer/songwriter who was signed to local independent Generation Records His first single was a cover of French singer Joel Dayde's European smash hit "Mamy Blue", perhaps because it was assumed that, like the UK & US, Joel wouldn't chart in Australia. However the original became a huge #2 hit, and while Al's fine version did score some scattered airplay, he was also competing against versions by the popular Roger Whittaker & James Darren who scored minor hits of their own & in the end Al's did not chart. Al's version did gain extra exposure & become more familiar when included on the hugely successful "20 Chartstoppers Vol. 2" in 1971 however & he also managed to enjoy a Top 30 Sydney hit with his excellent self-written follow up "Walk The World Away" He then released a 3rd & final single on Warner Bros. Al also made an appearance singing another original song on the live album "3 Floors Down", named after a Sydney folk music venue he often played alongside Marion Henderson, Jeannie Lewis & Margaret Roadknight among others, but little was heard from him since then to my knowledge
