In this 1962 clip, legendary singer Jimmy Little appears alongside his brother Fred on episode 27 of The Johnny O’Keefe Show. Performing ‘Twisting the Night Away’, the pair bring warmth and harmony to one of Australia’s most iconic music programs.
Jimmy Little was one of the first Aboriginal artists to achieve mainstream success, and this moment captures both his musical legacy and quiet cultural impact.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
