DESCRIPTION:
Mersybeat-influenced Sydney band with vocal harmonies. The Allusions were together from 1965 till 1969, managed throughout by Alistair McEwan, himself a musician.The Allusions were one of the most stylish and inventive of Sydney's 1960s beat pop bands.... 'Gypsy Woman' and the Michael-Morris-penned 'The Dancer'... are rightly regarded as Australian 1960s classics.

Gypsy Woman was the exception among the twelve songs released by The Allusions on six singles 1966-1968. All the others were original songs, eight written by rhythm guitarist & vocalist Michael Morris and three by bassist Bruce Davis who joined in mid-1966. Morris and Davis had both been in Dennis Williams & The Delawares.

The band's biggest hit was Morris's The Dancer (1966, #7 Sydney, #13 Brisbane, #53 Perth).
