Taken from hit music show C’mon, this short clip has Mr Lee Grant performing his first number one hit ‘Opportunity’. After leaping to attention — and suffering an awkward landing — he recovers quickly to offer a jaunty performance on a psychedelic set, complete with American flag motif. The song (a cover of a track by American soul singer Walter Jackson) charted in May 1967, helping cement Mr Lee Grant’s position as one of New Zealand's premier pop stars. He would top the local charts twice more — and come close another time before leaving the country in March 1968, in an attempt to conquer the United Kingdom.
