Norman John "
Normie"
Rowe AM (born 1 February 1947) is an
Australian singer of
pop music in the 1960s, and an actor of theatre and soap opera for which he remains best known as Doug Morrell in 1980's serial (in
Sons and Daughters). As a singer he was credited for his bright and edgy tenor voice and dynamic stage presence. Many of Rowe's most successful recordings were produced by Nat Kipner and later by
Pat Aulton, house producers for the
Sunshine Records label. Backed by his band,
The Playboys, Rowe released a string of Australian pop hits on the
Sunshine Records label that kept him at the top of the Australian charts and made him the most popular solo performer of the mid-1960s. Rowe's double-sided hit "
Que Sera Sera" / "
Shakin' All Over" was one of the most successful Australian singles of the 1960s.
