The continued success of Eagle Rock has been phenomenal – the debut single by Daddy Cool became the highest selling song in Australia in 1971 and it also reached No.1 in New Zealand.
In 2001 APRA released a list of the most successful songs in Australian music history and Eagle Rock came in at number 2, only behind Friday on My Mind by the Easybeats.
The song is a true Aussie classic and as the lyrics say – The Good Old Eagle Rock Is Here to Stay.
Our special guest is Daddy Cool's front man and the songwriter of Eagle Rock, Ross Wilson.
