    The first time that I heard John sing I was 13 and staying with my gorgeous grandmother. While dressing in her room "Sadie the Cleaning Lady" was played on the radio. We danced around the room trying to sing along while giggling & stumbling. I was a Farnham fan from that day on and managed to see him on stage more than any other artist. A lovely & oh so talented man.

    Awww I hadn't seen this since it aired! John has such comforting Dad vibes....I've said it before but the fact that this man shows no hint of having an over-inflated ego is a true testament to his wonderful nature. He has more talent that some of the greatest performers that have ever lived and yet he's never let it go to his head. He effortlessly exudes such warmth and kindness - no wonder we love him so much. Thanks for this reaction.

      @raywindred5419 Рік тому +5

      Yes, you are correct, John is a gift from heaven and I have been to one of his concerts in Newcastle New South Wales, and to be there was electrifying - he’s a down to earth soul and treated the audience with respect, was funny, interacted with the young ones that approached him at stage edge. Had the audience mesmerized by his songs and he went overtime, really enjoying himself.
      I’m sure that everyone attending knew that they were a part of his life and love.
      I’m 70 years of age now and I have never seen a better entertainer.

    How can you not love John?! So much apart of our identity as Aussies. He’s so talented and such a great guy. My 11th Birthday I got a CD Walkman and the Whispering Jack CD. I think I listened to John every night for a whole year straight. He was given Australian of the year the next January and it was our bicentenary - so a really special year in Australia. I remember watching him get choked up accepting the honour and how humbled but deeply proud he was. John is the same age as my dad - and my own kids who are young adults think he is a legend too - all three generations of our family. ❤

    White, and it’s off of a Little River Band Playing To Win album. Give a listen when you have a moment.

    Firstly Singer, condolences, Sir.
    So as you can see, the famous National Icon, was at heart, STILL A PLUMBER. Maybe he is still. Still had a cement mixer. Still doing his own property. Incidently, Steve Vizard's show was a straight out copy of Dave Letterman's show at the same time. They even copied the "Celebrity" band members and "Celebrity" cameramen. The Network approached Vizard who was a corporate lawyer who'd gone into comedy, offering him an evening variety show, and he said only if it was the same as Letterman's. It ran for a few years.
    The riff you're ascribing to Prince is definitely "Take the Pressure Down" by Harry Bogdanovs, made famous by Farnham.

    Not to react to for us, but just for you, have you seen more recent videos of John performing? I came across this by chance -- 70 years young and he sounds as good as in the 80s.
    Love, love, love this man.
