Dreams Fantasies & Nighmares:
Normie Rowe was in The Valiants in 1960 and The Mustangs in 1962/63. They played in Melbourne's Eastern suburbs. There was also another band of this name in this era, who played the Northern suburbs dance circuit. His solo career started in earnest when Stan Rofe, a radio personality arranged for him to appear regularly with The Thunderbirds at dances. He soon became a regular attraction on T.V..
By 1966, he'd conquered Australia and headed for the U.K.. After returning to Australia in 1967 he ventured abroad again, this time to the U.S.A. and Canada. From 1965 he'd been fronting his own band Normie Rowe and The Playboys. This ended in 1967 when his career progression was halted by conscription.
He resumed his career when he'd completed his National Service sentence, recording and working the clubs and cabaret, but he never attained the stardom he'd enjoyed in the sixties. He did enjoy some hits beginning with Hello, which entered the charts on 20th April 1970 and spent fifteen weeks in the charts peaking at No. 48. Ringo in the Summer of 1973 narrowly missed the Top 50, spending eight weeks in the charts and Higher And Higher spent four weeks in the lower echelons of the charts, peaking at No. 93 in September 1974. His final hit came ten years later when Rock And Roll You're Beautiful got to No. 50 during fourteen weeks of chart action.
