In addition to his work with The Dingoes, Smith also had a successful solo career. He released several solo albums, including "Broderick Smith" (1976), "Hard Road" (1978), and "Broderick Smith and the Bleeding Hearts" (1982).
Smith was a highly respected figure in the Australian music scene. He was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2007, and he was awarded the Order of Australia in 2014.
Smith will be remembered as one of the most important and influential figures in Australian rock music. His music will continue to inspire and entertain fans for generations to come.
