Col Joye has passed away
With great sadness I have to announce you that Col Joye has passed away.
I herewith send condolences to his family and everyone who knew him.
The country, pop and rock and roll singer, whose real name was Colin Frederick Jacobsen, died on August 5 at the age of 89
He started his music career in his brother Kevin Jacobsen’s band, The KJ Quintet, in Sydney in 1957.
Joye saw the Bee Gees in Surfers Paradise in 1961 and signed them to Joye Music, with the Gibb brothers performing backing vocals at Joye’s hit single Starlight of Love in 1963.
