Overview

"Emerald City" is a 1967 song by The Seekers about a visit to the fictional Emerald City from L. Frank Baum's Oz books. Set to the tune of "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony (sometimes called The Hymn of Joy which is the Vocal Version of Ode to Joy as heard in Sister Act 2), "Emerald City" reached #50 on the UK Charts in 1967. The song was recorded in 1967 and released as a single around Christmas in 1967. The original writing credit was given to Kim Fowley and John Martin, but during a 1993 reunion tour, The Seekers revealed that "John Martin" was actually the pen name of band member Keith Potger.
