TONY SHEPP

Born in Adelaide, Tony Shepp (real name Anthony Shipp) singing career began on radio and also local Adelaide TV. He played saxophone during the early sixties at the KT Club and he also played saxophone with The Clefs during the groups early days before Barrie McAskill took over the leadership renaming them the Levi Smiths Clefs. For a time Shepp became the front man for The Clefs and during one gig Grantley Dee (Melbourne DJ) heard him singing. Dee took some tapes back to Melbourne and he was offered a contract to appear on the Go!! Show. Shepp left Adelaide in 1965 and became a regular on the show. He cut a couple of singles on the Kommotion label in 1966. His first record ''Oh, Whatta Big Dear / Your Guaranteed Unbreakable Heart'' was for some reason never issued and his second ''Come To Your Window / Pretty Dull'' never saw any chart action. Shepp toured all the interstate capitals on the east coast. Shepp also appeared on TV shows as an actor in shows such as Hunter and Homicide. Shepp died in 1988 aged only 42 in a fire in a furniture warehouse in Norwood an inner suburb of Adelaide.
