Leslie Morrison


Leslie Morrison (born 29 December 1940), better known professionally as Lucky Starr, is an Australian pop and folk singer and television presenter.

Starr released the tongue-twisting "I've Been Everywhere" as a single in 1962, written by the singer-songwriter Geoff Mack, which name-drops numerous Australian towns. Adapted to American towns, it became a hit for Hank Snow.

Morrison began his rock and roll career in 1957 as lead singer of The Hepparays. He was a regular on music and variety shows Bandstand and Six O'Clock Rock, and took over from Johnny O'Keefe as host of the latter for a season in 1960. He has two children, a son and daughter, and a grandson. He still tours and performs regularly.

In Sept 2015, Lucky released a re-working of "I've Been Everywhere" called "We're Going Everywhere... On the Old Hume Highway".
