About

Colin Frederick Jacobsen (13 April 1936 – 5 August 2025), better known by his stage name Col Joye, was an Australian pioneer rock and pop singer-songwriter, musician and entrepreneur with a career spanning almost sixty-seven years, starting from the late 1950s.

Joye was a teen idol and the first Australian rock and roll/pop singer to have a number one record Australia-wide, and had a string of chart successes in the early Australian rock and roll scene, performing with his band the Joy Boys (formerly KJ Quintet).
As a pioneer of the genre Joye toured in Lee Gordon's rock 'n' roll shows and featured regularly on television shows including Johnny O'Keefe's Six O'Clock Rock and Brian Henderson's Bandstand.
