In this first biography of the man and his music, Jimmy Little: A
Yorta Yorta Man tells the incredible story of one of Australia’s
most acclaimed Aboriginal pop and country music legends and icons,
Jimmy Little. At just 16 years of age, Jimmy Little travelled to
Sydney to make his radio debut on Australia’s Amateur Hour. The
eldest of seven children and born on the Cummeragunja Reserve on
the Murray River, Jimmy’s entry into the entertainment industry
came at a time when First Nations people were not counted in the
census. In the face of indescribable barriers and discrimination,
Jimmy would go on to woo the nation. His immense talent, charm and
heart saw him become a household name and national treasure.
Jimmy’s songs consistently topped the music charts of the 1960s,
and he won several of Australia’s most prestigious lifetime
achievement awards, including the ARIA Hall of Fame, NAIDOC Person
of the Year, and Officer of the Order of Australia. And now his
daughter, Frances Peters-Little, tells the full story behind her
father’s inspiring ascent to stardom. For though this is a story
about a pop star and national celebrity, it is also the story of a
gentle man who always stayed true to himself and his cultural
identity – a man who believed in the power of living your dreams.
Weaving together stories both known and unknown to the public,
Jimmy Little: A Yorta Yorta Man will take you on a remarkable
journey through a life of music, love and advocacy.
