Darryl Cotton RIP

Post: # 1244478Post BonoRocks »

Sad news, i remember watching him on TV in the morning and heading off to Moorabbin standing in bay 8 with all my family and here he was 10 feet from us, funny the things u remember fondly..

AUSTRALIAN pop star, actor and TV host Darryl Cotton has lost his battle with liver cancer.

..Cotton, 62, died in the early hours of Friday after being diagnosed in May.

Friend and former manager Jeff Joseph says the singer fought his condition bravely.

"He was philosophical from the outset when told of his condition, but was determined to fight it until the very end and maintained a very positive attitude," Mr Joseph said.

A founding member of Australian rock group Zoot in the late '60s, where he played with Beeb Birtles and Rick Springfield among others, Cotton headed to Los Angles when the band broke up.

There he wrote songs for artists including Olivia Newton-John and Shaun Cassidy, before returning to Australia in 1978 to pursue a solo career.

His song Same Old Girl was a top ten hit in 1980 before he ventured into acting with a role on the TV soap The Young Doctors. He went on to co-host Saturday morning children's program The Early Bird Show on Channel Ten in the 1980s.

Cotton's illness brought an outpouring of support from well-wishers internationally.

"Darryl was much loved and highly respected by men and women alike, both in and out of the entertainment industry," Mr Joseph said.

Darryl Cotton leaves a wife Cheryl and two children Amy and Tim.

A top bloke and a loyal St Kilda supporter and follower.

His main beef was that St Kilda never accepted his invitations to lend his support to fund raising activities - but he kept offering.

Many a fine lunch enjoyed at St Kilda home games and, typical of those days, a host of fond memories.

Will be missed and 62 is far, far too young.

Sad to hear of another Saints supporter leaving us.

I recall going to the Edithvale RSL several years ago to watch Daryl, Jim Keayes and Russell Morris perform and they great both with their individual performances and as a trio. Sometimes "Studio" on Foxtel telecasts one of their performances.

The film clip of Daryl having to defend Marty the Monster against a rather enthusiastic kangaroo is still a howler after all of these years.

Thanks Daryl for the music and your love of the Saints

was Marty reprised a few years ago ( or have I lost more years) and got into a massive fight with the Bulldog maybe- and one or both got beheaded
I would not have seen the Early shows as we only got 2 channels and one wasn't 7 or 10

Agree with all the Eleanor Rigby comments - they did the definitive version.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Lol, just did!

Actually, it is a great version. Obviously the original is a classic, from - IMHO - the best album in musical history, but to be honest, you can get sick of it.

Still hard to believe that Macca was only 23 when he wrote it

Will watch the Zoot one now!


Wow, hadn't seen it for years. That is pretty awesome for an Aussie band in the 60's. Great talent in the lineup with Daz, Rick and Beeb

Actually prefer the Zoot cover and loved his work with the monster as a kid. Up there with Agro as the classic kids shows of our era.
