Grace Knight

[5][6] The song, written by Eurogliders' guitarist and cofounder, Bernie Lynch,[7] and vocals by Knight, was their only hit in United States.

[13] She competed in a semi-final of a national talent quest as a duo and consequently travelled to Dubai to perform, where she met Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

[14] She met guitarist and singer Bernie Lynch who fronted a new wave band, Rip Torn and the Stockings, in the late 1970s.

[2][15] By 1981, drummer John Bennetts replaced Slingerland and the band changed their name to Eurogliders; domestically, Knight and Lynch had separated.

[16][17] At the height of the band's success, Knight and Lynch reconciled their relationship and were married in 1985 but the union was short-lived.

[1][15] After Eurogliders disbanded in 1989, Knight sang backing vocals in the Tania Bowra Band,[3] and made a cameo appearance as Lola, a 1940s night club singer,[14] in the 1990 Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV series Come In Spinner.

In November 2002, women of Marin County, California, spelled out the words "No War" with their nude bodies[21] protesting against the proposed invasion of Iraq by a coalition which included Australian troops.

[21] This inspired Knight to organise a similar protest in a paddock outside her hometown of Federal near Byron Bay on 8 February 2003.

[24]Knight indicated that she had been writing lyrics for a forthcoming album with Lynch, when her frustration at the Howard Government's plans to invade Iraq interrupted her concentration.

[24] Eurogliders reformed in October 2005 with Knight and Bernie Lynch using session musicians and released their fifth studio album.

The Eurogliders' sixth album, Blue Kiss, was recorded during the same sessions as the previous and was released in 2007 but also had no top 50 charting.

[25] In 2008, Knight returned to her solo career and released Willow, which was nominated for Best Jazz Album at the 2008 ARIA Music Awards.

[19][26] On 17 July 2009, Knight performed at the Press Gallery Mid-Winter Ball attended by federal politicians, including Australian prime minister, Kevin Rudd, and Canberra journalists.

Knight's 1977 gig on a cruise ship from London was to visit her sister, who was living in Perth, Western Australia.

Her sister introduced Knight to future bandmate, domestic partner and husband, Bernie Lynch.
