The soundtrack for the motion picture of the Rocky Horror Picture Show was recorded without the involvement of Peter Hinwood, who played the part of Rocky in the film, basically because he couldn't sing. When Jim Sharman heard the studio singer with the film, he decided to bring in Trevor White, who was performing Jesus in JCS Australia at the time to supply the onscreen vocals for Rocky. Apparently during the 80's a video version was sold in America with the stereo songs from the LP tapes spliced into the mono soundtrack. In this version Rocky's voice is supplied by the unknown voice on the record. However, this was short-lived, as a new mix was made in 5.1 using the original film's vocals, and so on DVD, Blu-Ray, and film, it is Trevor White's voice that is heard as Rocky. In 1976, White signed with Polydor Records and released 'Out of the Shadows'. The album spawned two top 100 singles, ''All You Wanna Do Is Dance'' which reached #47 and ''Just Another Night which reached #67. In 1980, White signed with CBS and released two further singles. These days Trevor White gigs with his band Route 66 on the Gold Coast appearing each month at the Surfers Paradise RSL.
