DARRYL COTTON AND THE ROCKAFELLAZ Personnel Biography
DARRYL COTTON
Back in the year 1993 Darryl Cotton celebrated 25 years as a professional entertainer. Quite an achievement when you consider the unreliable nature of the business he has chosen as a career.
The years have seen him pursue and succeed in numerous facets of the entertainment business such as singing, songwriting, acting, theatre and television.
Public life for Darryl began in 1968 as a founding member of Australian rock group, Zoot. Along with Rick Springfield, Beeb Birtles and Rick Brewer, they managed to capture the heart of many a female fan in the late 60s and early 70s and will no doubt go down in Australian rock history as one of our pioneer groups. Particularly memorable is their award-winning version of the Beatles `Eleanor Rigby', which still manages airplay over 20 years after its creation.
Following Zoot, Darryl ventured overseas, basing himself in Los Angeles where he worked consistently as a singer/songwriter, with chart success in the UK, South America, Europe, Asia and the US, as well as performing with such artists as Olivia Newton-John, The Osmond Brothers, Shaun Cassidy and Cliff Richard. His songwriting credits include Donny & Marie Osmond, Engelbert Humperdinck and The New Seekers.
In 1978, Darryl headed home with the release of his single, `Don't Let It Get To You', and once again established himself as part of the Australian music and entertainment industry. An album, `Best Seat In The House', and a number of successful solo singles followed, including the self-penned National Top 10 single, `Same Old Girl', which earned him the award for Best Solo Male Performance in 1980 - exactly ten years after Zoot had the same award for a group.
