Joy has passed away at the age of 93. A tremendous talent & pioneer. Even most Australians don't realise the huge hand she had in shaping our culture down under. Her being reunited with Slim again brings my heart much warmth in light of this sad news. Fly high, Joy.
Her contributions to Australian country music will always fall under the massive shadow of Slim Dusty but her talent both behind the microphone and with the songwriters pen stack up against the very best. Joy is a trailblazer and a National Treasure.
