If not for the Music Challenge thread, I may have missed this one.
Hans Poulson passed away Feb 17th 2023, aged 77.
Hans was a true musical prodigy. His parents, Vic and Nellie, were amateur musicians who amassed a vast repertoire of hillbilly, bush ballad, folk and Hawaiian songs. Born as the more prosaic Bruce Gordon Poulsen on March 7, 1945 in Melbourne, of Danish descent, he began churning out songs from an early age and could claim 300 or so original works while still in his teens, when he assumed the Christian names Hans Sven.
A very talented singer/songwriter having written many songs for others. He wrote five for John Farnham.
