Jenny Morris

Morris released a number of solo singles as well as an album with QED. The latter produced three singles that were only minor successes in Australia. In 1985, Morris joined INXS as a backing singer for the Listen Like Thieves world tour, before releasing her first solo album (Body and Soul) in 1987. The disc was a success, selling over 70,000 copies in Australia (platinum status), and produced a number of hit singles, including "You I Know," written by Neil Finn.

Her second album, Shiver, consolidated her position as one of Australias leading female singer/songwriters by selling over 250,000 copies, although her third disc (Break in the Weather) was a comparative flop, producing one hit single plus two others that missed the Top 40 completely. The Story So Far, a best-of compilation, was released in 1992, but the rest of the 90s saw little of note from Morris, apart from an album called Salvation Jane in 1995.

The appropriately titled single “Downtime” arrived in 2002 with the album Hit and Myth following later that year.

In January 2003, on Australia Day became an Australian citizen.

In 2004 Listen: The Very Best of Jenny Morris was released, with the Alive DVD landing in 2005. A year later, Clear Blue in Stormy Skies appeared, filled with acoustic versions of some of the singer’s most popular songs.

In January 2010, on Australia Day received Australian of the Year.
