Original 100 co-host Rhianna Patrick told NITV News that she was honoured to be a part of the event, that celebrated legendary artists but also gave a platform for emerging new talent. “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander musicians continue to tell our stories and experiences through the music that they create," she said. "Although many have walked through those doors which were opened by others, there are still challenges that artists face in getting their music heard.” Original 100 Countdown Top 10 1. Archie Roach “Took the children away” Archie Roach rose to prominence in 1990 with the release of his signature hit "Took the children away" which arguably became the voice of the Stolen Generations. Unsurprisingly, the timeless ballad took out the countdown's coveted first place. Having been released at a time when an increased public awareness of Indigenous affairs was building, it has enjoyed sustained national popularity and recognition, with Roach continuing to use music as a means of telling his remarkable life story.
