Singer David Curtis was a fresh-faced 13-year-old when he rose to fame. His 1970 cover of 'Wheel of Fortune', a 1952 hit from US singer Kay Starr, shot to number five in the NZ Listener charts and stayed there for three weeks — alongside hits from international stars such as The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Cliff Richard. In this clip — 15 years after his original recording — Curtis once again performs the song that made him a household name in Aotearoa. The performance, at the Michael Fowler Centre in his hometown of Wellington, is part of a variety special celebrating the first 25 years of New Zealand television.
