Born Chadwick William Morgan in Wondai.
Queensland, Chad was yet another discovery of Australia's Amateur
Hour. After recording for EMI in 1952, he toured extensively
with a number of shows including the Slim Dusty Show, the All
Star Western Show and his own Chad Morgan Show.
His unique style of comedy is mimicked
by even some of our current, front-line exponents of country
music, proving conclusively, the success of his recipe for comedy
over generations.
Chad's songs, like My Thrashing Machine,
The Fatal Wedding, The Duckinwilla Dance and My Own Grandpa,
never fail to gain a full audience reaction, even after being
heard many times.
Our Clown Prince of Country Music, The
Sheik of Scrubby Creek, Chad is one of Australia's most popular
and successful country comedy stars. He has now been in the business
for more than 40 years, has released numerous recordings and
continues to perform regularly.
