Black Sorrows - Daughters Of Glory

The Black Sorrows are an Australian band founded by Joe Camilleri, the group’s only constant member. Founded in 1983, The Black Sorrows are still active today, and are best remembered for their top 40 Australian hits of the late 1980s and early 1990s, including “Hold On To Me“, “Chained To The Wheel“, “Harley and Rose“ and “Snake Skin Shoes“. By the time of their first top 20 album, 1986’s Dear Children, the Black Sorrows were playing original material and the official line up was Camilleri, Burstin, Nick Smith (lyrics/backing vocals), Johnny Charles (bass) and Peter Luscombe (drums). However, 15 musicians actually played on the Dear Children album, including Butrumlis, vocalists Venetta Fields and Shirley Matthews, and keyboardist Mick O’Connor. In fact, despite whatever ’official’ band membership configurations existed at any given time, The Black Sorrows often made extensive use of session musicians for both recordings and live shows throughout their career.
