Living in New Zealand - 1970 Search for Stars
Television (Full Length) – 1970
....a remarkably confident version...– AudioCulture writer Steven Shaw on Bunny Walter's rendition of 'By the Time I Get to Phoenix', 20 June 2014
Each one must be natural in their own style, in their own way of performing and their own way of singing, and not imitating any other artist.– Judge and promoter Joe Brown, on what it takes to win
I don’t know what inspired that in me, probably Tom Jones. He was such an inspiration for me back in those days. I just wanted to copy everything he did.– Bunny Walters on the inspiration for his performance, AudioCulture website, 20 June 2014
