Either with Tony Worsley, or under their own name, The Blue Jays were crucial to Sunshine's early success;
Glenn Baker rightly says that in many respects they were Sunshine -- Tony Worsely/Blue Jays releases accounted for seven of the label's first thirteen singles. They also rank as one of the most prolific recording units of "the scream years", with three full albums, eight EPs and seven singles to their credit in less then two years. Their Sunshine tracks including many original tracks by Clarke and Nicholls, which was fairly unusual for bands of the time. The Easybeats were one of the only Australian outfits playing mainly original material, and most local beat groups relied on covers, typically covering blues or R&B songs by UK bands like The Beatles, The Stones, The Hollies or The Animals, which were themselves often covers of originals by American artists.
Naturally, the Blue Jays did their share of covers, but the choices showed their versatility and eclectic tastes. There were blues/R&B standards like The Kingsman's ever-popular Louie, Louie, John Lee Hooker's Dimples, Slim Harpo's King Bee, Smokey Robinson's All Over You and Etta James'
Something's Got A Hold On Me,
plus a wide range of other material: the Everly Brothers classic Raining In My Heart; Do You Mind, by "Oliver" composer Lionel Bart; Jagger & Richards' So Much In Love, How Can It Be (a cover of The Artwoods song, written by future Faces / Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood); Reaching Out, by Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham (the writers of Do Right Woman for Aretha Franklin) and even a sprinkling of home-made covers like I'll Never Love You Again by Pogs member and future "Crocodile Dundee" composer Peter Best, and of course, Velvet Waters, co-written by The Megatrons' Walter Plunkett and prolific Aussie lyricist and songrwiter Dorothy Dodd, a long-serving president of APRA and composer of the perennial standard Granada.
