Russell Morris came out of the gate with "The Real Thing" in 1969, his first single, a slice of psychedelic rock written by Johnny Young and produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum for EMI. It went off like a flare in Australia, a huge hit that has since settled in as one of the country's rock classics, and it carried overseas too, topping the local charts in Chicago, Houston and New York City.
The song also appears on A Thousand Suns, from 1991, and the single that followed it was "Part Three into Paper Walls".
