Check out this 1985 charity single by Hearing Aid titled “A World Without Music,” created for the Australian Deafness Council. The track, penned by Jim Burnett, Peter Sullivan, and Ricky May, features artists like Kylie Minogue, Stephen Cummings, Brian Mannix, Johnny Young, Daryl Somers, and Wilbur Wilde. I have a faint memory of it—maybe I caught it on Hey Hey It’s Saturday.
Give it a listen here: A World Without Music.
What a nostalgic find! “A World Without Music” really captures the spirit of that era, and it’s great to see so many iconic Australian artists coming together for such a meaningful cause. I remember it being a big deal on shows like Hey Hey It’s Saturday. It’s fascinating how music and community initiatives intersect, and this charity single really highlighted the importance of accessibility in the music world. Thanks for sharing the link! I can’t wait to revisit it!
