Wikipedia:
Silvery Moon was written by Garth Porter and Clive Shakespeare and was released as the third and final single from the album Slipstream.
The band were the darlings of Australia’s teenyboppers: for six years in a row they were voted ‘Most Popular Australian Group’ by readers of TV Week for their King of Pop Awards from 1973 to 1978. From 1975 they made more appearances on national TV pop show Countdown than any other band in the program’s history.
