Jimmy Hannan - Biography
Jimmy Hannan (born August 1934) is a Gold Logie-winning Australian variety show host, singer and entertainer and game show host. One of the pioneers of television, Hannan won the 1965 Gold Logie award. Hannan's single (Beach Ball), featured The Bee Gees as backing vocalists.
At the height of his career in the mid-1970s, Hannan was recording 13 television appearances a week, plus radio in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, according to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. His performance style belonged to the heyday of variety TV entertainment and was later made popular by performers such as Bobby Limb, Mike Walsh, Bert and Patti Newton, Don Lane, and Jeannie Little.
His motto was “keep smiling”, his style was versatile, generous, and he was beloved for his cheerful personality and his upbeat style of singing. His single “Beach Ball”, which was released in 1963, featured the Bee Gees singing backup and providing background chat to give the single a ‘party’ atmosphere. The single went to Number 1 on the Australian charts, capitalising on the huge craze of ‘surf’ music.
