Harris began his career in music in the 1950s, releasing several songs including " Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" (a Top 10 hit in Australia, the UK, and the US), " Sun Arise", " Jake the Peg", and his recording of " Two Little Boys" (which reached number 1 in the UK). In 1993, Harris did a cover of the Led Zeppelin song " Stairway to Heaven", featuring didgeridoo and wobble board. His last song was the 2009 Christmas song " Christmas in the Sun". Harris was convicted in England in 2014 of the sexual assault of four underage girls, which effectively ended his career. In the recently released ITVX documentary, his former promoter Chris Brosnan, known as Bear, revealed that Harris had written him a letter from jail in which he described his “inner rage” and the lyrics of a song detailing “all the injustice” he said he had experienced.
