Noel Linton Parlane (19 March 1951 – 21 June 2015) was a New Zealand country singer and yodeler who gained popularity during the 1980s with his release of albums on the RCA Victor label.
The pair performed locally under several titles such as The New Era, 'The Noel and Trev Duo', and finally 'The Sundowners' before splitting up in 1975.
His 1979 release, Country Heartaches, sold over 40,000 copies in Australia, expanding his popularity.
Wanting more control over his content, Parlane parted with Music World and was signed by the RCA Victor label, on which he released three albums before relocating to Australia.
Although he was unable to reach the same sales of records after he departed from Music World, Parlane continued to make albums and perform both in Australia and New Zealand.
