| Description |
America had the Supremes. Who remembers, though, that Australia had its own supremely talented singing sensation, The Sapphires? From country New South Wales, the McCrae sisters? biggest dream is to become as famous as their Motown idols. It is 1969 and they are performing in St Kilda?s Tiki Club when they are spotted by a talent scout. But for these Koori divas the fulfillment of their lifelong dream to perform overseas isn?t quite as they imagined. They?re off to entertain the troops on the frontline in Vietnam |
