Single on Kommotion.

Graham Chapman (1949-2009) was a British-born singer whose family had emigrated to Brisbane. He recorded seven singles 1966-1971 on Kommotion, Columbia and HMV of which Gee I'm Gonna Miss You was the best selling, although his first single, Baby Let Your Hair Down (1966), has earned some recent critical recognition.

In the mid-70s Graham Chapman moved to New Zealand and soon after became lead singer of Salty Dogg, a band that released two singles and an album 1976-1977. After Salty Dogg broke up, he stayed on in New Zealand for a while before returning to Sydney where he worked in the clubs for many years as a singer and compere. See the Salty Dog page at Bruce Sergent's NZ Music site, and gallery at the site of Salty Dogg member Mike Harvey.
