I find out something verrrrry interesting today.....and i cannot believe that i have only just found out.
I am related to Chrissy through marriage. (prolly can't class it as related, but i don't care...this is soooo coool!)
How...you ask? OK..... try to keep up.
My father-in-law is a cousin of Col Joye, the first Australian to reach the American Billboard charts, with "Bye Bye Baby", "Stagger Lee" and "Oh Yeah Uh Huh" in 1959.......This i knew already.......very exciting is'nt!...I'm famous...just kidding, just married into one famous family.....Ahhhhh....did not know that hey, do now....actually i might have mentioned it before, can't remember!
What does this have to do with claiming to be related to one of the most intriging female artists of all time? Well, there are 3 other siblings to Col joye....Carol, Kevin & Keith. Kevin & Keith were the Joy Boys in Col Joye's band, and the jacobsen clan went onto forming the well known production company "Jacobsen Productions"
Keith married a lovely girl....most will know her as "Little Pattie" her first single was "He's My Blonde Headed, Stompie Wompie, Real Gone Surfer Boy" was a hit at number 2 on the aussie charts in 1963! Her name is Patricia Amphlett...... the cousin of Chrissy Amphlett....WOW! Hey!!....I cannot believe i did not know this before, my father-in-law has never mentioned it before......we have always heard of little pattie and Col joye (God, if you will ever go to a family BBQ, that's all you hear......I laugh as all the youngin's don't care....'cause they all go Col who!!)
So bugger me dead! What do you think....am i related? Is there anyone else out there that is related in a winding-backstreet-kinda-way to a famous bod?
