1927 Born Kempsey, 13th June. Named David Gordon Kirkpatrick. Slim Dusty was the first Australian to receive a Gold Record (still the only 78 rpm gold record in existence in this country), the first Australian to have an international record hit, and the first singer in the world to have his voice beamed to earth rom space (in 1983, astronauts Bob Crippen and John Young played Slim singing Waltzing Matilda from the space shuttle"Columbia" as it passed over Australia). His amazing career spans six decades, has him holding 35 Golden Guitars (an achievement as yet, and unlikely to be, unequalled), more Gold and Platinum Record Awards than any other Australian artist, ARIA Awards (Australian RecordingIndustry Awards) including induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame,video sales Platinum and Gold Awards, an MBE and Order of Australia for his services to entertainment, and he was one of the earliest inducted to the Country Music Roll of Renown.
Just recently (1999) Slim was named Father of the Year and Senior Australian of the Year... two more accolades added to numerous other awards and honours.
