In 1965, his songs Que Sera Sera and Shakin All Over were number one hits around the country and the single on which they appeared was the bestselling Australian single of the 1960s. He produced a string of top 10 hits until, in 1968, his life was suddenly turned on its head he was drafted into the army and shipped out to Vietnam. When he returned from the war, his pop career was virtually over, John Farnham and others having taken his place. The scars of battle had also left him with post-traumatic stress disorder, which remained undiagnosed for years, and was only exacerbated by the end of his marriage and the tragic loss of his eight-year-old son. He struggled to come to grips with his new life, but with characteristic courage, launched a comeback career as a television actor and became an acclaimed performer of musical theatre. Through dizzying highs and deep lows, Smiley has overcome break-ups, breakdowns and unexpected blows to become the beloved national treasure we know today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor\/Editor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Normie Rowe with Ed Nimmervoll)\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN: \u003c\/strong\u003e9781742573830\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft cover, Trade Paperback Book \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\/Volume:\u003c\/strong\u003e First edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2013\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Holland Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo. Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 190 (plus b\/w photos)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 x 17 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eThis book is in very good condition with slight age yellowing and some age spotting, but otherwise very well cared for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with Rockaway Records lifetime guarantee and a Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutographed items are unique pieces of rock history.
