You shouldn't be a warrior.

And we'll hear from music guru Molly Meldrum shortly for his thoughts on Chrissie's remarkable career.
The surviving are to our top story, the death of music great Chrissie Amflit.
For more, I'm now joined by Molly Meldrum.
[G] Good afternoon to you, Molly.
A sad day for Australia's music industry and a sad [Dm] day for you as well.
You knew her well.
[D] Yeah, she became a really good friend.
She, at the very start, I've got to admit, when the Divinals first hit and there was Chrissie, I found her very sort of daunting.
In fact, she actually frightened me.
Oh, my God, you know.
And after a while, we became very good friends.
And in that [Eb] time, I mean, I think like everyone else in Australia, we learned to absolutely love the Divinals and respect such talent that she had.
Molly, I touched myself for each number four in the US and number 10 in the UK.
A huge achievement for anyone on the international stage.
But this girl was from Geelong and she did it.
[F] I know, unfortunately, her mum followed the wrong football team, but I won't go into that.
But actually, I remember the first time I ever heard I touched myself because I'd by this stage become a Divinals fan [Am] and even still daunted by Chrissie.
And I [D] remember going down to the Prince [C] of Wales in Melbourne [D] to the hotel and they're [C] upstairs where the group used to play.
[E] And I was still running up the front [C] and she actually [E] previewed this song, I touched myself and went, huh?
And I thought, oh, [Dm] my God, she's going for a far now.
[C] [Am] And [Dm] little did I know [C] that that was going to be, [D] as you said, a major hit, not only in Australia and then New Zealand, but then in the UK and also in the US.
Yeah, Molly, and of course
But she was more than that.
She was more than
Sorry, Ray.
Yeah, I just want to say, you're going to go on to say it was more than that.
But I suppose the legacy now that she leaves is not just music.
She's helped focus more attention on breast cancer and also on multiple sclerosis as well.
Well, that as well.
I mean, what she did, who became a very credible artist [C] in her own right with the Divinals, is I mean, like when you take it songs like Pleasure [Fm] and Pain and Boys in [F] Town, I mean, they were great, great songs, you know, I just said like international success.
But then, you know, when I saw [Fm] her in the Blood Brothers, the film, sorry, the stage show [F] with Russell Crowe, I realized, my God, she's an actress as well.
And then when she played Judy Garland in Boy From Oz [Eb] with Todd McKinney, and that was very successful in this country.
It was just, it was absolutely brilliant, you know?
Yeah, she was.
And she just, and then what she went on to do, and I was so happy for her when she got married to Charlie, the drummer, and it was just, and with Draydo, with Charlie Draydo and herself, she was just so happy.
And then all this happens, you know, she got very sick.
And it seems so cruel, you know, because without a doubt, and she was honoured with the Hall of Fame by ARIA, and if anyone really deserved such an award, it was her, because she was not only a pioneer of what she fought for with Breastcaster and all that, but also, and all the causes she took up, but as a performer, the lead singer of the Divinals, one of the first female acts to really, really hit a band in this country.
And then when you look at [C] her acting, I once asked her, I said, how come you go from Chrissy Amflet, and then, later, you used to terrify me, and then you do a brilliant job as Judy Garland in Boy From Oz, and as you, she gave me a wink, a bit of a [N] smile, and said, same character, Molly.
Yeah, she was.
And I've got to say this, recently, for Channel 7, for the Sunday show, I, about a year and a half ago, I interviewed Liza Minnelli, and Liza had actually seen some footage of her performing as Judy Garland, and she said to me, do you know Chrissy Amflet, because Liza also was a fan of the Divinals, and that's why I touched myself, but she said, that is the best one's ever portrayed my mother.
She was a very talented woman, indeed.
Unfortunately, Molly, we'll have to leave it there, but thank you very much for joining us this afternoon.
You look gorgeous, Rebecca.
Thank you very much, very much, Molly.
Good to see you too.
And of course, 7 News at 6 and Sunrise tomorrow morning will have more tributes from those closest to Chrissy
