You may not recognize his name, but Snowy Fleet was one of the most popular drummers that Australia ever produced. He was an early member of the Easybeats, whose song "Friday On My Mind" was No. 1 for eight weeks on Australia's singles chart. Also popular in the United States, the single reached No. 16.
To see Fleet on the drums, watch this previously lost 1966 footage of the Easybeats performing "Friday On My Mind" for the BBC.
In the thumbnail and chapters, you'll see a shot of Fleet excerpted from a photo of the band taken in 1966. Also in the chapters, there's the full shot of the band. It's attributed to United Artists Records and was used in a trade ad for "Friday On My Mind" in the May 6, 1967 issue of Billboard.
The artwork framing two sides of the thumbnail photo was created by Bob Jones.
Song of the Day creator Sheldon Zoldan researched, wrote and narrated this short story, one of 35 tributes to music stars who passed away in 2025. Song of the Day used to be a daily feature delivered to an email list of subscribers. Sheldon ended it in early 2026 which, I suppose, means that Song of the Day also deserves a tribute. The good thing is that the music tributes live on. Each is a snapshot of the life of one music maker whose work made an impact on the lives of many.
