In a tribute to our dear friend and 3AW colleague Ernie Sigley, who passed away on 15 August 2021, Billy and I reflect on the career of one of the most successful Australian television hosts, variety performers, and radio presenters, who’s recording of “Love is a Golden Ring” was a Top Ten Hit in 1957.
Ernie dared to dream and went on to win 21 Logies including a Gold Logie in 1975 for the most popular TV personality.
Billy then plays the 1983 smash hit “ Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” by the Eurhythmics, an inspirational song for all of us who dare to dream. And then I show that if you “attach” a date to your dream, you might just have the basis of a financial plan, which is a valuable tool in navigating your relationship with Money, as Money is only a means to an end. You don’t want to end up like Daffy Duck in the tomb of Gold and Diamonds only to end up a miserable little duck.
Lastly Billy highlights what he believes to be one of Elvis’s best ever recordings “If I can dream”, released only two months after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. someone very special to the King of Rock and Roll, and to the world at large.
