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.
