Lionel Joaquin Paul Long, OAM (1939 – 1 January 1998) was an Australian country, Western, folk singer and a television actor.
Long became one of Australia's most successful and talented country/western/folk artists in the 1960s, recognised as one of EMI's most popular and successful artists releasing over a dozen LPs. More than a singer, Long was also a songwriter, guitarist, actor and artist. He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia on 26 January 1993 with the citation, for service to the performing and visual arts.
The son of an accomplished violinist, Long was born in and grew up in the farming district of the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, New South Wales.
After briefly working as a jackeroo in the Hunter Valley, Long's family relocated to Sydney where he attended Hawkesbury Agricultural College, studying commercial art. He learnt to play the guitar with his long-time friend, Gary Shearston. Both young men had a fondness for country/folk music and shared song verses at the Long family home at Rose Bay.
Ben Hall was originally a free settler, but minor misunderstandings, and difficulties lead him to trouble which seemed to escalate to the point where he became an outlaw.
