Sounds host Donnie Sutherland presented this late-night mix of music and chat, which aired on Saturday nights on Sydney’s Channel 7, debuting in March 1982.
The show (which was pre-recorded on Monday nights) had a relaxed, laid-back style with Donnie chatting on a large sofa with local and overseas artists – all drinking and smoking – interspersed with music videos.
Early episodes also included serialised segments from the original black-and-white King Features Flash Gordon series from the 1930s.
Donnie Sutherland was diagnosed with throat cancer in March 2014 and underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments before surgical removal of portions of his throat, including his larynx.
