Celebrating NZ music throughout May: 6 – Allison Durbin / Kunoichi

Two gorgeous women today. We step back 50 years to 1968’s Loxene Golden Disk Award winner. Then hop right back to this year to give some love to our own Steemian @kaykunoichi.

I know Allison Durbin for just one song – her cover of Morgana King’s “I Have Loved Me a Man”. (And actually, I’d never heard of Morgana King, or heard her version.)

Youtube says:

Number One single for two weeks in September/October 1968. One of New Zealands best loved and remembered songs of the sixties and popular Loxene Golden Disc Winner that year.

So I quite surprised to find out she’d been quite active prior to this song, and went on to have a long and successful career, partly in NZ but mostly in Australia.

From 1971, “Baby Without You” with Australia’s John Farnham

If you want to read more about her, head on over to this article.

And if you want to check out the original, here’s Morgana King’s version.

Back to present day

And now some brand new music from @kaykunoichi from Auckland, NZ and @acthepd from Los Angeles. Go to this post and scroll down to the bottom for the first track off the album they’re working on together.

Just above that, there’s a track by Kunoichi and Pody Cameron.

I know she has more music on here and had a bit of a look back, but haven’t found anything else yet. Maybe she will share some links in the comments…

Thanks for listening
