Normie was the first King Of Pop. He was far and away, Australia’s most successful pop idol during the explosion of pop music and fashion in the mid-60s. He released a string of hits that are an important contribution to the soundtrack of the Baby Boomer generation. “Que Sera Sera”, “Shakin’ All Over”, “It Ain’t Necessarily So”, “It’s Not Easy” and “Ooh La La”, among them, along with a constant media frenzy produced fan hysteria unseen before or since for an Australian artist.

At the peak of his popularity, Normie was called up for Army service. He served in Vietnam, and, on his return found that his earlier success was of little value. He started again in the tough but educational Sydney Leagues club circuit working with big bands.

At the same time, he was studying acting and honing his vocal skills. The former led to a long running part in the TV series “Sons & Daughters”. The combination of both led to his critically acclaimed role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables. His repertoire is drawn from the breadth of this extraordinary performing career. Normie Rowe AO is an Australian treasure and the consummate entertainer.
