The Twilights

About

The Twilights formed in 1964 as a vocal harmony trio in the Adelaide suburb of Elizabeth. The group initially employed various local acts for musical backing, but, in late 1964, they merged forces with The Hurricanes and became a full-time six-piece. A record deal with Columbia followed, and, over the course of several 45 releases, the group's popularity snowballed from local to national, peaking in September '66, when their sixth single, "Needle In A Haystack" hit the #1 spot.


Ironically, just as the group's creativity was shining brightest, their popularity was beginning to fade. After five years together, they eventually called it a day in January 1969. Years later, Glenn Shorrock found international success with the Little River Band, while Terry Britten went on to write songs for Cliff Richard, Tina Turner and Michael Jackson.
