I first saw Jon in the early 1970s when he played in a band called Sebastian Hardy, a popular Sydney pub band. I, like many underaged kids of the time, would go to pubs mainly to see bands as it was where they played. The publicans would turn a blind eye as would the police in many cases, as long as you behaved yourself. Different times. I saw him many, many times over the years and during the 70s and 80s there was always a Jon English song on the radio to be heard. I didn't know him personally but I know people who did and who worked with him and not one of them ever had a bad word to say about him so this tribute to him and the anecdotes told all hold very true. By all accounts he was a truly nice bloke with a genuine enthusiasm for life, a generosity of spirit and a great talent.
Think I have almost all of Jon English's music, liked and appreciated it ALL, from obscure tracks like Lady L to the well known hits. Great vocal range, great acting skills. Should have been more exposed to the rest of the world. Miss his talent. Thank you for the music Mr English. Take a bow! x
❤Jon English-absolue legend!!Saw him in Superstar when I was just a kid.Also loved him and Marcia Hines in their "Jokers and Queens" tour.Last time I saw Jon was at a club gig,I was the only person who got up and danced!!He leapt off the stage and danced with me,shouted me a drink-never tried to come onto me-damn nice guy!!Also saw him in Superstar in the early 1980s-with most of the original cast.Love you so much Jon,RIP,now rocking with your mates in heaven😢.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful well deserved tribute to one of Australia's most brilliant and authentic entertainers and rockers. Thank you Jon for what you gave your audiences. RIP Jon
thanks for giving this tribute to the world's best Rocker R.I.P. Jon I still can't believe you're not with us anymore I love you when I was 13, I love you now I'm 55 & I will always love you. xxx
I'm also from Melbourne but now residing in Manila. I became a Jon English fan in the mid-1970's and was fortunate enough to meet him and procure his autograph on the back of a nightclub pass (which I keep in a copy of his "English History" CD).
THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US THE LEGEND THAT IS JON ENGLISH. BUT ACTUALLY, HE WAS JUST A ORDINARY FELLA THAT FELL IN LOVE WI' HIS LIFE, AND PROCEEDED TO SHARE IT WITH US ALL.
This is truly DELIGHTFUL. YEP, 50 minutes in, EVERY SONG IS ABOUT MOI. SO, HE MARRIED ME, AGAIN, JOSEPHINE, I 🙇 to you MY DEAREST, thank you for LOVING ON HIM. Such a kind sweet soul. AUGUSTUS Who knew, hey!!!!! To Jon's huge flock of imperfect FRACTALS OF GOD. YOU ALL, STILL DO LIGHT HIM UP, every time he looks at YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING 🔜 HE NEVER LEFT. DEATH IS A REFRESH. HE MERELY WALKED OUT THE STAGE DOOR 🚪 He will walk on in AGAIN. LEGENDS NEVER DIE, they say. GOD TELLS US, WE ARE IMMORTAL. JON and I have had a bajillion 🌌 lives, together, apart, upside, downside, dance side, surf side, PERFORMANCE ARTISTRY, writers, etcetera. So, I hope this lifts you a little. Feel free to chat out loud to him, whenever you are down and feeling poorly and on your own. AS YOU, WHO HE ADORED, WELL DO KNOW....... HE would want to be there for you. Anytime, anywhere, HE WILL BE THERE FOR YOU. Why are soooo many returning soooo quickly? = dimensional upward shift of us, assisting gaia to rise. MOTHER EARTH 🌏 is to, once again be GARDEN OF EDEN SO AS HEAD GARDENERS HERE AND NOW, WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE , Wisdom, guidance and practical MUCK IN AND GET THE JOB DONE kind of stuff. JON ENGLISH WAS, IS , HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT MAN. SO, YOU ARE HIGHLY ESTEEMED in the HEAVENLY REALMS, to be sure, as the IRISH would say. ONYA 💋 💋
This White GOD MAGIC 🧝♂️ MAGIC 🧝♀️ MAGNIFICENT. I watched up to GOLDEN BROTHER, TREVOR WHITE. It's very, personally emotional, for me. So, I will return. 🙇 when I am a little bit further along processing THE NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL GOD 👪 GRIEF. I WILL PROCESS, TODAY. BYE and on behalf of OUR JON. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED. 🙇 😇 HUGS ALL 💋 💋
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ..
Wow John Waters really can sing. l loved what he did with John Lennons songs, but he is amazing here with Jon English's songs. He is not young - must be close to his 70s.
@@wayneostler5532 my brother has worked with John Waters. He was 'three sheets to the wind' most of the time. He's probably no better now...which would explain why he can't sing any better than I can!
I first came across John Waters as lead singer on stage in GODSPELL. Jon English was in Superstar about the same time. John Waters also did a stint on Play School like many other great stars.
Amanda Muggleton quoting Toni Lamond(Ruth in Pirates)moved nearly all to tears.😢Jon English,died too soon-another medical fk up.Hope you're rocking on in heaven and making everyone laugh 😂Miss you gorgeous guy❤😢

This is great, and well deserved. Gone way too soon. Saw him a couple of times, great shows.

The Peter Cupples Band did a song on the Pirate Movie album.

68 apparently
Wasn't impressed with his performance at all. Out of tune. Seemed to forget lines. Couldn't they have gotten a more accomplished singer??
John was a friend... and his tribute was all the more touching because he's not a singer. 'getting' another singer wouldn't have had the same impact.

And the very funny Pirate King in the Australian production of Pirates of Penzance.
Was in the Australian production of Andrew Llyod Webber Jesus Christ Superstar.
Never heard of him, but Australia is that big.
BRAVO ALL 🤶 🎬 👏
APAC- spend a bit of money to increase the resolution already so we all can bloody appreciate the video
Another aussie Ted Hamilton was the Pirate King,in the Pirate Movie.
