Lynne Randall - "Caio Baby, let's call it a day" - lovely girl
Gday...
Ya can't keep a 60s gal out of it
Randell was 'discovered' whilst working as a 14-year old apprentice hairdresser for Lilian and Antonio Frank. One of Frank's regular customers was publicist, Carol West. Garry Spry, the manager of Australian mod group The Flies, employed West to organise a publicity shoot for TV and press to display his band having their long hair done at a women's hair salon. During the shoot, The Flies lead singer, Ronnie Burns sang with his guitar and Frank suggested her young apprentice should sing along. Spry was so impressed by her voice he offered her a job at his discothèque, Pinocchios, and West became her manager.
And there is ANOTHER disco we used to frequent in "those good ole days"
Go for it Jules
Cheers - John

Knew her instantly John - and I had forgotten Pinnochio's. I think Lynne became Molly Meldrum's personal assistant in her later (short) life - lived at his house. She passed away in 2007, same year as Billy Thorpe.
Just up, so will go and find someone. Back soon......... I'm baaack - ok who is this?

She was a great talent in an era full of great talents
Yep - was Molly's assistant. And very sad about her son as well.
After the end of her marriage, Randell returned to Australia in 1980, she worked as a personal assistant to Meldrum, then compère of Countdown, until 1986. Randell worked for Seymour Stein of Sire Records as his personal assistant in New York during the late 1980s, living close to her son Jamieson. Randell moved back to Melbourne in the 1990s and made occasional appearances in oldies concerts.
Randell went public about her methamphetamine addiction in 2004 in an interview with Peter Wilmoth of The Age. She indicated that her adrenal glands were atrophied to about 30% function. Randell was found dead at her home in Toorak, Melbourne on 8 June 2007. Police said that there were "no suspicious circumstances". She left notes and gifts for family and friends. Her father had died three years earlier, she was survived by her mother, brothers, sister, son (Jamieson) and two grandchildren.
Jamieson Hoch, 35, died of a brain haemorrhage on 24 July 2007 only days after he joined mourners at St Kilda beach where he spoke about his mother and scattered her ashes in the water.

How did I know you would get that one John - I think your brain works the same as mine sometimes - the 60's in Melbourne was an exciting time to be a teenager - so much happening.
Off you go!
