Hard To Say Goodnight/Too Much
In the early 60's a young girl who aspired to be a country music singer dressed up in all the white leather fineries etc., and made many appearances on country shows around Sydney. This market was a very small market and virtually controlled by other artists such as Reg Lindsay, Slim Dusty, Joy and Heather McKeon their respective wives as well as a few others such as Bill Kelly, Tim and Tom MacNamara etc. Judy was much younger and didn't have much of a chance with the small amount of country music that Sydney audiences wanted at that time..
She moved slowly over to the more popular rock style of country that was now beginning to chart in the Top 40 and after a few appearances on Bandstand etc., became one of the 'Darlings' of Australian TV. That as wel las her record successes cement her place in Rock 'n' Roll history.
Her songs include 'I'll Step Down', 'Would you lay with me in a Field of Stone', '4,003,221 Tears from now', 'Born a Woman', 'Mare Mare Mare', 'Day by Day', 'Hasta Manana' and others.
Over a few years she became the 'Golden Girl' of Bandstand and was paired off with Col Joye. They recorded and did many shows together however that was where the 'pairing' ended. Judy married Leo De Kroo of The De Kroo Bros but this only lasted a year or two.
She still performs today however due to medical problems she keeps this to a minimum. She is still very popular with her fans and her contribution to OZ Rock is clearly defined.
