Poison Ivy by Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs

Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs are one of the most iconic bands in
the history of Australian music.


Led by the late, great Billy Thorpe, the various versions of The
Aztecs dominated the music scene for several decades. Although
the line up of the band may have changed several times over the
years, one constant of the group that remained was  Billy
Thorpe leading the charge. This episode takes a look at their
No.1 hit Poison Ivy. The band stared down the English Invaders
for a while and Poison Ivy even kept The Beatles single Can’t Buy
Me Love from the top spot. Showing the immense popularity of
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, they relegated the Beatles to No.2
on the charts, when the Fab Four were actually here in Australia
on tour.
