Synopsis

This episode from Communicado’s series about popular culture heroes focuses on entertainment legend Howard Morrison. Presenter Neil Roberts finds him doing what he does best — performing live at the Huntly Working Men’s Club. He traces Morrison’s life from a Rotorua upbringing through stardom with The Howard Morrison Quartet, a solo career with appearances as The Sexy Savage in Manila, his smash hit ‘How Great Thou Art’ and work in TV and film (in his own feature Don’t Let It Get You, and as a singing shearer in Australia with a young Olivia Newton-John).

Quotes

To touch and be touched in return. That’s my magic. That’s what I enjoy. 
I wasn’t getting into the diatribe about "I take this as an honour for my people and an honour for the music industry". Rubbish. The mana of my father was enough for me to accept it.
