He also made regular appearances on Mavis Bramston Revue 60–61, In Melbourne Tonight, Sing Sing Sing, plus many other entertainment shows. In 1962 Lucky recorded a hit record “I’ve Been Everywhere”, which to date still remains one of Australia’s all time favourites. It has been recorded a million times over by various artists and has featured in movies and TV commercials etc.In the early years Lucky had a massive output of singles but not all were charting hits…There is no definitive "Hit Collection" placed on CD by any major company.

Here for download is possibly the hardest hit to locate, “Someone Else’s Roses”. It is a Tom Mix remixed mono version from my friend Steve who got it from Roy...Steve and Roy sent it to me to fix as it had some odd anomalies in the centre I had to remove....
I'm sure Midoztouch contributors K1W1 and Micko will be happy to see it make an appearance after all these years...
Many thanks to all who helped get it back out for the general public to enjoy!

Thanks heaps for this Tom, I've been looking for this one. You're right, this is one of the hardest of Lucky's to find because it only had a minor chart placing in Sydney & didn't make any other charts in Oz. So much appreciated mate
