Went to see the Aussie movie "The Sapphires" last week, good movie, based on a true story of an Aboriginal female singing group who went to entertain the troops in Vietnam.

Can't get this darn song out of my head? Love that era and the soul music, I was - and still am a big Motown/soul fan. Get's my feet tapping every time. cheering cheering cheering

Jessica Mauboy is just great, fabulous voice, goooooorgeous and a sweet kid too. "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch, you know that I love you ..."

A lot of Aussies went over to Vietnam to provide entertainment for the troops. So many did not get the recognition for "the bit they did for the troops moral."

I grew up with a girl who was a great singer and entertainer. She did the tour or 2 but I have never heard of her since.
