This week on The Long Play, we rewind to the 1960s — and look at the extraordinary journey of The Sapphires, four young Aboriginal women from Shepparton who brought Motown soul to the frontlines of the Vietnam War. Hosts Sophie and Andy V blend music, history, and personal stories to reveal how these trailblazing performers turned sound into resistance — against racism, war, and erasure. Featuring iconic tracks from The Supremes, Otis Redding, and The Sapphires themselves, this 30-minute episode connects the 1960s fight for recognition with the voices of today’s First Nations artists.
