Erl Dalby

Erl Dalby (Erle Montaigue) began his music career in 1965 and had his first chart topping record in 1970, ‘Can’t Wait For September’, a Vanda/Young composition. In 1972 Erl sang the Judas part on the first Australian EMI recording of Jesus Christ Superstar. After a few more mild successes, he disappeared from the music scene when he decided to leave Australia for the UK to get into acting in 1973. Since his departure Glenn A Baker has called him the “mystery man of Aussie rock”. Erl died in 2011 after an apparent heart attack.
