Jimmy Little : a Yorta Yorta man
Peters-Little, Frances, 1958-2023
Book
At just 16 years of age, Jimmy Little travelled to Sydney to make his radio debut on Australia's Amateur Hour, and success soon followed. In the face of discrimination and racism, Jimmy went on to woo the nation with his immense talent, charm and heart. Jimmy's songs consistently topped the music charts with music that crossed multiple genres: from pop to country, folk songs and bush ballads. And now, his daughter Frances Peters-Little tells the full story behind her father's inspiring ascent to stardom. Interwoven with Frances' account of her father's life are Jimmy's personal reflections on the moments that made him, taken from several extensive interviews the pair had before Jimmy's death in 2012.
