Some of the most iconic '70s songs of all time will be performed across New Zealand this April and May by the singers who made them famous so many years ago: The New Seekers' Eve Graham and Paper Lace's Philip Wright.

Eve Graham's vocal talents have been adored by fans for more than four decades, and the Scottish-born star's musical journey has seen her perform around the world and on a variety of stages: from American Bandstand and the Sonny and Cher Show, to The Two Ronnies and Morecambe and Wise.

In a career that produced a string of memorable hits, such as 'Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma'; 'Nickel Song'; 'Circles'; 'Never Ending Song Of Love' and 'Beg, Steal or Borrow', Eve is probably best remembered for her performance of 'I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing', the famous soundtrack to Coca-Cola's 'Hilltop' commercial - the company's most successful campaign in its history.

Forty years after the release of that track, Eve is back and touring an honour roll of songs that have lost not an ounce of their original and broad appeal.

Joining Eve on the New Zealand tour will be Philip Wright and Paper Lace, whose memorable compositions such as 'Billy Don't Be A Hero'; 'Hitchin' A Ride' and 'The Black Eyed Boys' led them to '70s superstardom and sold millions of copies around the world.

The classic 'The Night Chicago Died' reached number one in the American charts, achieving platinum sales and winning the title of largest selling single worldwide in 1974.

After re-releasing two albums in 2010, vocalist Philip Wright and original bassist Cliff Fish have joined forces with Phil Hendricks and Paul Robinson to recreate the authentic live sound of Paper Lace for the Smash Hits '70s New Zealand tour.

Tickets go on sale on Tuesday February 7.
