COL JOYE

Colin Frederick Jacobsen AM (born 13 April 1936), better known by his stage name Col Joye, is an Australian pioneer rock singer-songwriter, musician and entrepreneur, (he has also recorded various other cross-over styles such as country music), with a career spanning some sixty years. Joye started his career as a jewelry salesman, after leaving school, before performing and recording with his backing band, the KJ Quintet, that would become The Joy Boys which included his brothers Kevin and Keith, Joye enjoyed a string of hits on the local and national singles charts of Australia beginning in 1959. Joye's first single, "Stagger Lee" was a cover of the Lloyd Price US original. Before 1960 Joye had four singles go Top Ten with "Oh Yeah Uh Huh", his most successful, peaking at #1. Joye was an original member of Brian Henderson's Bandstand television program and appeared regularly on this show for fourteen years. Joye also toured Australia with fellow Bandstand acts, including Judy Stone, The De Kroo Brothers, Sandy Scott, and Little Pattie. 

When Conway Twitty toured Australia in 1960, he met and was impressed by Joye, who wrote a country flavoured song entitled ''Bad Man'' especially for him. The record became an Australian Top 20 hit in April 1960. Joye and his brothers Kevin and Keith demonstrated their business expertise early in their careers by establishing Joye Enterprises and their own publishing company, Joye Music, in 1960. Joye's popularity leveled off with the changes to the music scene around the time of the rise of the British invasion, and especially The Beatles, and it was not until 1973 that he had another hit record, with "Heaven Is My Woman's Love" reaching #1 on the Go-Set charts in 1973. Col supported many acts that came to Australia: Johnny Cash, The Everly Brothers, Lloyd Price and Fabian (1959), Bobby Rydell, Ricky Nelson (1960), Chubby Checker and Connie Francis (1961).

During the period between personal musical successes in the 1960s, Col and Kevin Jacobsen built an influential entertainment management, publishing, and recording business, including ATA Studios in Glebe, NSW. This business worked with developing and promoting artists including the Bee Gees, and their brother Andy Gibb. Their promotions company, Jacobsen Entertainment, continued into the 2000s, with Col and Kevin remaining as principal members. On 8 June 1981, he was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia for his entertainment and philanthropic work. The ARIA Music Awards is an annual awards ceremony that recognises excellence, innovation, and achievement across all genres of Australian music. They commenced in 1987. In 1988, Col Joye was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.
