The story of Lee Gordon is unbelievable. This 30 year old American moves to Australia in 1953 and creates the Australian touring industry.
His first tour was Ella Fitzgerald, then Johnnie Ray followed by Louis Armstrong but the one he never go was Elvis Presley.
Australia’s first rocker Johnny O’Keefe rose to fame because of Lee Gordon. Gordon created the template that is the live touring industry to this day.
Author Jeff Apter has taken a microscope to the life of Lee Gordon. It is a fascinating story that if you didn’t know was true you would swear it as fiction.
