G.WAYNE THOMAS Self Titled 1973 LP, Surf/Psych - Morning of the Earth - Chrystal Voyager 
In 1971, he produced the soundtrack of “Morning of the Earth” for David Elfick and Albe Falzon. G. Wayne wrote and performed three of the songs for the album which was released in 1972, notably the title track “Morning of the Earth”, “Day Comes”, and also the famous “Open up your Heart”, which was lifted off as the single and shot to No.1. Ironically this song was one of those moments in history where Elfick and Falzon were close to the final edit of the movie, and quickly needed just one more song for the closing credits. Wayne sat down and in 10-15mins he wrote “Open Up Your Heart”. As the movie was almost complete it was put over the closing credits. “Open Up Your Heart” stayed at No.1 for approximately 18 weeks finally being knocked off No.1 spot by John Lennon's “Imagine” “Morning of the Earth” was to become the first Gold soundtrack in the history of Australia.
