| Russell Morris in 2013 |
Morris' career started at the age of 18, in September 1966. On 1 July 2008, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) recognized Morris' iconic status when he was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
In 1973, Morris moved to London to record an album only to discover there was no record contract waiting for him. He relocated to New York
and set to work on an album there, including new versions of both
"Sweet Sweet Love" and "Wings of an Eagle" and the single "Let's Do It".
A second American album appeared in 1976. It was two more years before
Morris was granted his green card, enabling him to tour America. But by
then, any chance of an American career had bolted. Instead, Morris
returned to a very different Australia than the one he had left behind
five years earlier.

| Russell Morris that I loved in the 1960's |
Another clear case of people from this time not getting the opportunities they should have had afforded to them because of their obvious talent. I too feel the same way regarding being a parent and being a child. When I was a child we had to respect our parents or else, these days the children have no respect for their parents and so we had it so tough from our parents and now we are being bashed by our own children as well. This is the era I grew up in.
The Chords and Lyrics for "WINGS OF AN EAGLE"
Am G Well I'm lookin out at an overcast sky in the morning Am G D And I hear the warning as it calls to you Am As the birds migrate and the wind is raised G I'll see the eagle soaring Am G D Although I just a pawn in natures game like you G Am D Wa hoo, Wa hoo, Wa hoo oo Chorus G Am On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies C D G Lifted up above the world to see G Am On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies C D G Lifted up above the world to see Am D Can you see me, can you see me Am As the days roll on and the nights get long G The changing of the seasons Am G D And the falling Autumn leaves they bring me down Am D They bring me down, they bring me down Break by Am, G, Am, G/D, Am, G, Am, G, Am, G/D, G/D Am Do you lose your way in the middle of the day. G Do you see your brother crawling Am G D And all the while he’s calling out for help from you G Am On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies C D G Lifted up above the world to sing G Am D Whaa hoo, whaa, hoo, whaa hooooo-oo Chorus G Am On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies C D G Lifted up above the world to see G Am On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies C D G Lifted up above the world to see Am D Can you see me, can you see me Finish on Am, G, Am, G/D, Am, G, Am, G, Am, G/D, G/D QUOTE =
