Cadd produced fellow Australian acts Robin Jolley, Ronnie Burns, Broderick Smith, Tina Arena and Glenn Shorrock; [3] and established his own record label called Bootleg Records. [4] He also composed or performed music for the films Alvin Purple , Alvin Purple Rides Again , Fatal Vision , The Return of the Living Dead , Vampires on Bikini Beach, Morning of the Earth and The Heartbreak Kid and for television Class of 74 , The Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert .

[7] [8] He was awarded in the Queens Birthday Honours in 2018, along with late musician Phil Emmanuel for his 50-year service to the music industry as a singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, mentor and producer and his work in production.

Early years

Cadd was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, and was a child prodigy: winning a TV talent quest when 12 and being offered his first professional job as a pianist for a children's TV program. [6] His family relocated to Tasmania and then Melbourne, where Cadd became involved in jazz music of the early 1960s, playing with the Beale Street Jazz Band [Rick Mabin, tpt; Frank Turner, d.] and The Castaways. He was also widely renowned for his zany hats. [3] [4] [6] By 1965 The Castaways became The Jackson Kings playing R&B, with Cadd on piano and Ronnie Charles on vocals they recorded two singles "Watch Your Step" and "Watermelon Man" by April 1966. [4] [6]

Career

1966–1969: The Groop

The Groop formed in Melbourne in 1964 and 1965 and had recorded singles, an EP and an LP, before Cadd and Charles were asked to join in October 1966 along with guitarist Don Mudie. [4] [6] [9] On advice from pop magazine Go-Set writer Ian "Molly" Meldrum Cadd changed his surname to Caine, before changing it back after his family protested. [4] [6] The new line-up was: Cadd, Charles, Mudie and Max Ross on bass and Richard Wright on drums. [3] [6]

The first single for this line-up was "Woman You're Breaking Me" (written by Cadd and Wright) [10] which reached No. 6 in Melbourne [11] and No. 12 in Sydney in July 1967.It was also a hit in parts of the US. Melbourne singer Ronnie Burns had a local hit with "When I Was Six Years Old" [11] written by Cadd (who also produced) [3] and Ross. [10] The band won a trip to UK from the 1967 Hoadley's National Battle of the Sounds; [9] publishers sent "When I Was Six Years Old" to England where it was recorded by Manfred Mann's lead vocalist Paul Jones. [6]

The Groop arrived in UK as the single was released and managed to get a deal with CBS, then they toured there and in Germany. [9] Band members had written most of their hits in Australia, but CBS decided they would cover an Italian ballad, "What's the Good of Goodbye", which failed to chart. The Groop returned to Australia by October 1968 and Ross left, [9] they released two more singles, including "Such A Lovely Way" before disbanding in May 1969. [9] Their last recorded work was an uncredited appearance as instrumental support on Russell Morris' No. 1 single "The Real Thing". [3] [6] [9] [12]

1969–1971: Axiom

Following the break-up of The Groop, Cadd and Mudie formed Axiom in May 1969 with Glenn Shorrock (ex-The Twilights) on vocals, Doug Lavery (ex-The Valentines) on drums and Chris Stockley (ex-Cam-Pact) on guitar. [3] [4] [6] Cadd and Mudie were the primary songwriters for Axiom including their three hit singles. [6] [10] They signed with EMI and released their debut single "Arkansas Grass" which reached No. 7 in December 1969, followed by "A Little Ray of Sunshine" at No. 5 in April 1970. [12] Axiom travelled to England and attempted to enter the UK market but had no chart success. [4] Then, relocating to the US, they released their single "My Baby's Gone" in January 1971, this was followed by their second album If Only... in September. [4] However, Axiom had already disbanded by March and Cadd returned to Australia. [4] Shorrock later became the lead singer for Little River Band and Stockley joined the Dingoes. [3]

1972–1975: The Bootleg Family Band, Brian Cadd, Parabrahm and Moonshine albums

Cadd and Mudie, as a duet, released "Show Me the Way" which reached No. 15 in early 1972. [4] Cadd turned to producing other acts and recording solo material on his own Bootleg Records label which was set up under Ron Tudor's Fable Records. [6] "Ginger Man" was the first single from Cadd's self-titled debut album, released in November 1972 on Bootleg Records. [6] Bootleg was based along similar lines to US pianist Leon Russell's Shelter Records – signed artists recorded and toured together as a The Bootleg Family Band. [13] Studio musicians used by Cadd became the Bootleg Family Band and had their own hit single by covering Loggins and Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance", where Cadd provided lead vocals. [13] [14] Cadd also won the composer's section of Hoadley's Battle of the Sounds for 1972 with his song, "Don't You Know It's Magic", this became a top 20 hit for John Farnham (known then as "Johnny" Farnham). [12] The song also won the 'Most Outstanding Composition' award at the Tokyo World Popular Song Festival, with Cadd performing there live. Cadd released a second album, Parabrahm , in 1973, and followed with the theme song and score for the 1973 movie Alvin Purple (Australia's first R-rated comedy) [15] and its sequel Alvin Purple Rides Again in 1975. [16] After releasing his third solo album, Moonshine in 1974, Cadd left Australia for the US. [6] Moonshine was certified gold in Australia by November 1974. [17]

1975–1979: United States

Cadd arrived in Los Angeles in 1975 and began working on a record with Chelsea Records. The label was forced into bankruptcy and ultimately ceased. Cadd then signed with Capitol Records and released his fourth studio album, White On White , in 1976. The album was mixed and produced to have a "pop sound" along the lines of Elton John and Billy Joel, but performed poorly in the US. In 1978, Cadd released Yesterdaydreams which also performed poorly and his contract with Capitol Records ceased. The track "Yesterdaydreams" was covered by Bonnie Tyler.

1980–1993: The Flying Burrito Brothers and Graffiti Records

He recorded solo albums for Interfusion, his songs were also recorded by Gene Pitney, Glen Campbell, Dobie Gray, Cilla Black, Wayne Newton, Bonnie Tyler, Joe Cocker and Ringo Starr.

In the mid-1980s, Cadd ran a small label called Graffiti Records and worked with Daryl Somers and was the first person to sign Tina Arena.
