Harold Blair was born on Cherbourg Mission, Queensland, in 1924. With the support of trade unionists, musicians and academics who realised his talent, he studied singing at the University of Melbourne, graduating with honours in late 1949.
His fine tenor voice and a recital tour of Australia in 1951 meant that Blair became a well known figure. He performed at the launch of the Aboriginal-Australian Fellowship's petition campaign to change the Constitution, held in the Sydney Town Hall in 1957. In the 1960s he became politically active, standing as state Labor candidate for the Victorian seat of Mentone. He lost on preferences to the sitting member, the Minister for Transport. Blair joined the Victorian Aborigines Advancement League in the early 1960s, organising a seaside holiday program for Aboriginal children which ran successfully for a number of years.
Apart from working as a singing teacher and performer, Blair was appointed a member of the Aboriginal division of the Commonwealth Arts Board. He died, aged 51, in 1976

Raymond William Stacy Burr (May 21, 1917 September 12, 1993) was a Canadian-American actor, primarily known for his title roles in the television dramas Perry Mason and Ironside. He was prominently involved in multiple charitable endeavors, such as working on behalf of the United Service Organizations.
Burr's early acting career included roles on Broadway, radio, television and in film, usually as the villain. His portrayal of the suspected murderer in the Alfred Hitch****thrillerRear Window (1954) is regarded as his best-known film role. He won two Emmy Awards, in 1959 and 1961, for the role of Perry Mason, which he played for nine seasons (19571966) and reprised in a series of 26 television films (19851993). His second TV series, Ironside, earned him six Emmy nominations and two Golden Globe nominations.
After Burr's death from cancer in 1993, his personal life came into question, as many details of his known biography appeared to be unverifiable.[2]
In 1996, Burr was ranked as #44 of the 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time by TV Guide.
