Peter Allen on This Is Your Life Sydney 17 September 1977

I'm BEYOND THRILLED to present the long-awaited FULL episode of Peter Allen in This Is Your Life from 1977!!!!! I'm very grateful to Peter's super nice family (THANKS Buddy, Lynne, and Bryden!) for sending me a copy of it to share with all of Peter's fans and friends on YouTube. His family appreciates how we are honoring his musical legacy.🎶

I would like to THANK the show's copyright owner, Sue-Ann with all my heart for permitting me to upload this video. Thank you so incredibly much!

Host Roger Climpson surprises Peter after his concert at Sydney Regent Theatre on 17 September 1977. The audience remains to watch the show. What a lucky audience!🍀 They got to see Peter live in concert and then a live taping of him on a TV show! A 2-for-1 special indeed:)

There are a lot of people featured in this amazing 36-minute episode! Those featured include members of Peter's band and crew (including Gregory Connell and good friend Larry Rinehart), his spunky and hilarious mum Marion, his fabulous maternal aunts Betty, Nancy, and Jean, his lively childhood dance teacher Claire Napier, former Allen Brother Chris Bell, and one of his musical heroes Johnny O'Keefe!

I wish his sister was there to tell one of her stories of Peter to the viewers. I wonder what story she would have told about growing up together?

Sadly, Peter's father, Richard Woolnough was never the same after returning home from WWII after serving in the Australian Army and died of suicide in 1958, when Peter was 14 years old.

Peter also receives messages from Burt Bacharach and Liza, and video messages from Bandstand's Brian Henderson, manager Dee Anthony, co-songwriter Carole Bayer Sager, and music buddies Olivia Newton-John and Peter Frampton. Vegemite makes a special guest appearance as well!!!!

Peter was always smiling, even as a baby. The baby photos are so cute! He and his mother are simply beautiful together; they are just beaming!😊 They are such a delight to watch and can make anyone smile with their infectious laughter and amazing rapport. Their strong bond will always be forever linked.💞
