Smoky Mokes/Kurrawatha
Col Joye's backing band, The Joy Boys, which included his brothers Kevin and Keith, released several of their own singles, many of which charted, especially in Sydney where nine made the Top 40 from 1960 to 1963. They also had several Top 40 entries in the other major capital cities. ''Smoky Mokes'' was their biggest hit, followed by ''Southern 'Rora'', an original instrumental in honour of the Southern Aurora, a new Sydney-Melbourne express train (1962, ''Smoky Mokes''charted #5 Sydney #5 Melbourne #5 Brisbane #2 Adelaide). John Bogie died in 2012. Dave Bridge died in 2017. Thanks to Duckinthepond
