Read MoreFor a brief period in the late 1960’s, Yvonne Barrett was a popular singer on the Australian TV shows and their pop charts. She was one of several young stars who appeared on local television shows and performed popular tracks – whether they were covers of American pop hits or some locally-written songs – and,…
