WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (REAL NAME JOHN CAVES) WAS AN ARTIST PRIMARILY HONED BY VANDA AND YOUNG THE LEGENDARY AUSSIE WRITING AND PRODUCING DUO WHO WROTE "FRIDAY ON MY MIND" AMONGST OTHERS."LAST NIGHT", WAS A LATE HIT IN WILLIAM'S CAREER CHARTING IN 1976 AND GETTING TO #41 IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA BUT IT DIDN'T CRACK THE BIG TIME IN THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. HIS FIRST 3 SINGLES ARE AVAILABLE ON HIS GREATEST HITS C.D. BUT NOT "LAST NIGHT" WHICH IS A PITY AS IT IS FONDLY REMEMBERED.
THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF THIS SONG CAN BE FOUND AT THE FOLLOWING U.R.L.:

I still recall Donnie Sutherland introducing him on Sound Unlimited to do this song, and leading with a reference to "unpleasant business" being over now. We all knew but it didn't help to mention it then.
