Australia's greatest soul voice, Doug Parkinson, celebrates 50 years of performing excellence with a new show, Dear Prudence: The 50th Anniversary Tour.

Hard to believe this multi-award winning artist of soul, rock and box office hit musicals began his stellar career thrown into the musical deep end, only to emerge decades later as a household name, respected and admired by adiences and peers alike.

Doug Parkinson is highly regarded as a 'singer's singer', an artist capable of interpreting many genres of popular music. From smoky ballads to hard driving rock and all points in betweek, Doug Parkinson has it covered and is considered one of Australia's leading showmen and entertainers - 'A rolled gold superstar', to quote The Australian newspaper.

After two sold out Australian National tours - Dear Prudence The 50th Anniversary Tour revisits the roller coaster ride that has been Boug Parkinson's remarkable journey, punctuated by both happy and not so happy events that have shaped Parkison the man, a survivor in a business notorious for its uncompromising demands both personally and professionally.

The repertoire includes interpretations of hits from such legendary artists as Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Marvin Gaye, Michael McDonald, The Beatles and The Great American Song Book, just to name a few.

A highlight of this exciting new show is Doug Parkinson's unique renditions of his own hit records, 'The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore', 'Without You', 'I'll Be Around' and 'The Hungry Years.

But wait, there's more, as they say in the classics.

It's also the 50th Anniversary of The Beatles White Album, considered universally as a masterpiece and the source of Doug Parkinson's greatest recording triumph, the iconic and masterful Dear Prudence.

Colleen Hewett ticks all the boxes: stage musicals, television drama, film, recording and concents.
