Before the days of Australian Idol and The Voice, Aussies were obsessed with a very different music show: Young Talent Time.
The much-loved Aussie series beamed into lounge rooms from 1971 and 1988, and was hosted and co-produced by Johnny Young.
Throughout its 17 year run, the show helped kick-start the careers of talented Aussies Tina Arena, Dannii Minogue, Asher Keddie, and many more.
Listen to the trailer for Mamamia's latest season of Extraordinary Stories, all about Young Talent Time. Post continues after audio.
Five decades on, Johnny Young told TV Tonight: "Young Talent Time stands alone."
"Nobody else has done it. Everybody loves the memory of it, and everybody loves the feeling of it," he added.
As the show marks its 50th anniversary with a reunion special this Sunday night on Channel 10, we decided to look at what some of our favorite members are doing now.

These days, many of us will no doubt recognise Asher Keddie from her starring role in the hit TV series Offspring, which won her a Gold Logie for Most Popular Actress in 2013.
But long before she played Dr Nina Proudman, she was bursting onto your screens singing Irene Cara's 'Fame' on Young Talent Time at just nine years old.
Since then, she's starred in TV dramas such as Love My Way, The Cry and Paper Giants and most recently, the Amazon Prime series Nine Perfect Strangers, alongside Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy and Luke Evans.
