The Proclaimers were an Oz group from the early 1970s. They started in Melbourne and their lead singer was Johnathan Sommers.Click the following link to an information site about him: http://thefoolandtheopera.blogspot.com/2008/12/podcast-jonathan-summers.html.
I don't know what happened to the Oz group but they had a few Christian music singles and then folded after 1974.
The song "Jesus Christ, What A Man" is a country ballad with nice slide guitar work. It came out in 1971 on the Fable label. It got to #47 nationally.
The follow-up singles were: "One More Mountain To Climb" in 1972 which got to #32 nationally, and a rather hard to find single called "All His Children" which got to #17 nationally in 1972, but was co-charting with 2 other versions: one by Oz singer Vic Christopher and the other by American singer Charlie Pride.
Their greatest hits CD "Wings Of A Dove" is available as of 2007 on the Fable label but it is missing one of their later singles, "All His Children"...
If you know of or have a copy of the song "All His Children" please let me know so I can send a copy to the folks at Ozburn as it they are searching for it?
Here for download is the mono single mix of "Jesus Christ, What A Man":
