America could not figure him out or put him in a box. I am 80 years old and I find his music timeless.
The voice of John Farnham brings tears to your eyes. His talent is immeasurable. I am fortunate enough to be able to say that I have dined with him on a few occasions since 1972. I absolutely love this man as a person and entertainer.
You are soooo lucky
Having had the pleasure of flying John around to Gigs, I can agree with your observation, he is genuine and probably the nicest bloke I have had the pleasure of meeting.
John Farnham is a phenomenal voice. And he is as you say he is. Very informal, very personable. It’s part of the reason why Australia loves him so much. He’s an amazing talent. Big fan right here.
John Farnham turned 70 today...he still has the perfect voice and is still the perfect performer. Love him and his persona and will forever. Golden voice for the world to admire and golden bloke too.
John is an amazing performer. His acapela version of Amazing Grace from the 80s is amazing.
He's also extremely humble which is why Australians continue to adore him. He did an interview last year for a fundraising concert and the interviewer asked him "What is it about you? Why do you think you're still selling out concerts?" (Or along those lines)
He instantly replied with "have you seen how good the band is? I've surrounded myself with the most talented people in the world, and they make me look good"
"I've surrounded myself with the most talented people in the world, and they make me look good" and he omitted to say. they were drawn to me because of my ability to lead from the front and inspire people to jump on board . but he's right about the quality of the band . he pulls the best out of them and they pull the best out of him .
Yep, I'm a 52 year old Australian woman.... and John Farnham? He is the most AMAZING voice we have ever had. We have great music, so much, that unfortunately other countries don't listen to.... Tina Arena is in my opinion the best female voice Australia has had. To me, they blow everyone else out of the water.
Australia's greatest performer,
He is a national treasure.
Farnham "you're the voice"
Yep.. you got it straight away mate about John... he is so down to earth, and he certainly would shake your hand and say g'day... John is now nearly 70 and still alive and still performing strong... and let me tell you, there is noone in the world at 70 years of age singing as good as John does in contemporary music... that's why he is 'The Voice'... he really has set the precedence and standard for quality... and as a fellow vocalist and performer myself, he makes me want to be the best I can be... thank-you once again for showing our Australian legend Mr John Farnham....
I have worked on shows with John in the 80's. Thia is the real John Farnham, an Aussie icon! A national treasure!
And to think he started his working life as a plumber
I completely agree with you. His voice is still fabulous. He’s amazing.
That’s why they call him “The Voice”.
I remember in the 70's and 80's, I always thought he was a little bit of a dick but with a great voice, I actually appreciate him a whole lot more now for his passion when he sings and what a show he can put on! A friend played the bagpipes for him on one of his shows with You're the Voice and said that he crafts each show with so much precision but looks after everyone on the stage.
You picked Johns personality perfectly. he loves music and performing. he is now 70 and hasn't changed much. I tried to teach him how to play pinball one night and gee we had fun doing it.
John is renowned for his stage banter, just as he is for his incredible tenor voice. One of Australia's best entertainers ever, hands down.
Freddie Mercury was the singer in Queen. After Freddie died, the rest of Queen asked if he would join him. John declined as he didn't want to tour and leave his family.
You are right about John Farnham. My daughter when she was 15 was asked to do a waitress job for one night for a wedding and John happened to be one of the guests. Due to the older women being a bit nervous, they asked my daughter to serve John and his wife. My girl is a very sweet, quiet girl and John and his wife absolutely adored her. He is extremely down to earth.
Ty, I apologize for this late comment but this video just came up on my viewing list. I never heard of this Guy until You started playing his videos, I agree He has a Fabulous voice and great stage presence I went and bought one of His CD compilations after I heard one of His other videos You posted recently that's how impressed I was by Him. Can't wait to receive it"
So glad you did. You'll love it!
you are now an honorary Aussie!....enjoy!!
If you ever get the chance to see him, it is worth every penny. Although very rare occasion. Be sure to watch the bushfire relief concert he did with Queen in early 2020. I also highly recommend Jack Jones (aka Irwin Thomas) another Australian singer and performer with an amazing voice.
He has such a powerfull voice just look how far away he holds his mike amazing
John Farnham's Rock anthem "You're the Voice" will blow you away. He's an Aussie institution and hero. What a voice.
John is "The Voice" Downunder. Lisa Edwards has been one of his backing singers for a long time. They are not romantically linked. Lisa is married to a Barrister and has a baby daughter but tours when she can A beautiful song sung simply with the muted trumpet and Brett Garsed on guitar.Abeautiful song sung by both with love. Peace.
Good to see you've reacted to so many Australian legends. Thank you.
I would love to see you react to another Australian artist. Guy Sebastian. Last night we has a live stream event with a variety of Australian artists performing live from their lounge rooms, and when Guy came on to sing “ Battle scares “ he just blew it out of the park with just him and his guitar. Another really lovely person who’s talent is huge.
Oh man I'd love a reaction to burn for you by John Farnham
I reckon it would make him cry. Awesome!!
Yes, please!!!
and to When the war is over. One of my favourite songs ever.
Yes. One of his best. Must be done. In Aus, we know him as a national treasure. A beautiful voice and a beautiful person.
Was invited backstage after John's show with The main event in Darwin summer 2001. John is everything he seems to be. Just a wonderful human beeing.
Got my attention with the jokes, kept my attention with his singing. 😊🌹
I get called Tia V all the time lol. I am so glad you enjoyed the song. He is very down to earth and genuine and thats why we love him. Yes he is still alive and his voice only gets better💕
this is best voice on the planet, John wasnt accepted in America, because they couldnt put him in a slot, thats crap
errol1234 yep! Will never understand why!! Oh well they sure missed out on the greatest voice.. we are truly blessed to have him 😃
slots are way overrated! :-)
His Signature Hit song You're the Voice Did Chart At #82 On the U.S. BILLBOARD HOT 100 in the Year 1990 It Had Moderate Success Not Good But not Bad either Your Right most of This Was due because they couldnt Place a Slot on him They didnt know if he was Pop, Rock, Etc But the Most Success John has Had in the U.S. Is with his Song "Two Strong Hearts" That Charted on the U.S. ADULT CONTEMPORARY CHARTS it Was a Adult Contemporary Top 40 Hit Reaching the Position of #38 This was his Only Solo Top 40 Hit in the U.S. Apart from You're the Voice and Two Strong Hearts John's Songs really never Made it Big in the U.S. Idk Why but I think Now thanks to the Gift of the internet stuff like UA-cam Etc People in America are discovering John's Amazing Songs and Talent😊😊
One of the few gifted VOICES that causes goose-bumps EVERYTIME!
"Only a fool says there is no God", Who gifts individuals with such superb talent.
John Farnham has had about five 'farewell tours'. He just can't stop performing.
His crowd banter is legendary.
you're a goose... he never said he's retiring... there's even videos on youtube with him saying he's not retiring... what he did say is that he's going to cut back from the major tours that he used to do... and he has stuck to his word... so instead of performing at 30000 seat arenas, he's now performing to 2000 and 5000 seat places... and instead of doing 5 to 10 concerts in each state, he's now doing 1 or 2 in each state... so aside from that, with alot of artists around today on drugs and carrying on like losers, you want to have a false dig at a decent human being, that's been completely drug free his whole career, which spans more than 5 decades, unlike alot of artists now that last maybe a year.. so aside from an incorrect statement, you'd be best off keeping your wrong facts to yourself...
@@johnfarnhamexperience So his tour and CD release called 'The Last Time' mean't what?
He has 'retired' and come back more times than The Seekers.
@@RolandDeschain1 The Last time meant 'the last time he was going to tour like he had for the last 40 years... and his exacts words were "I'm not retiring"... and being an Aussie the title and tour was meant as tongue in cheek... obviously some people don't get that sense of humour... I'm not going to do the work for you... but there are videos, before he did 'The Last Time' tour... where he explains this and more... it's not his fault that some people didn't watch it, or listen to it... even as I tell you what exactly went down you still don't listen to the facts... you need to let it go mate, go and pick on a more deserving artists that actually does carry on like a turd...
Beautiful song....I was actually at this concert and it was fantastic. Loving your reactions to our man, John Farnham. 💕🇦🇺
You picked ‘Farnsy’ to a tee! Very down to earth, humble & all round decent bloke. He’s been around since the 60’s in Australia, & still performs. His voice is as good as ever! I’ve seen him live many times & went to this concert in 2000 as well! He has so many amazing songs Ty. Probably his biggest hit here, was ‘You’re the voice’. I’d love you to react to it, if you could. I’ve mentioned before that he’s so underrated, should’ve been a big success worldwide.
Pretty sure farnsey is the group name him and jimmy Barnes used when they were in a band
@@dylanzrim1011 Very wrong.
like everyone has said you nailed his attitude and personality perfectly. This is the traditional aussie mindset to a T. As an English migrant when he was just a little boy with his parents, like many in that era, he made himself an aussie through and through. He does love to joke around, and there are some stuck up singers out there who refuse to sing with him because he acts this way at times. Not that he can't be serious when he wants to be and as you well know he isn't lacking in pure talent. That Lisa Edwards, if you go back and watch all his other videos, you will see in almost every single one of them in the background singing backup or playing bass. She has been with his line up for decades.
Apparently despite singing with John as a back up singer for decades, Lisa was always nervous being up front, most of this banter at the start is just to cut through her nerves and let her sing at her best.
John is one of those rare performers who is truly “the real deal”. Plus you are dead on when you said that he is a very personable entertainer.
He can walk of a long flight at the airport and will sign autographs, pose with fans for photos and he will always have the biggest smile on his face and he won’t stop until either he’s seen everyone of the fans there or if he’ll miss his flight (if he’s flying out).
You can search ANY media you want and I guarantee that you will not find one bad name about John. All you will find is the massive list of his achievements.
8 years “Australian King of Pop”, the largest selling Australian album, longest number 1 chart album with 26weeks at no.1, 17 ARIA (which is the Australian Record Industry Awards), plus the ARIA hall of fame, Australian of the Year in 1988.
As far as Australian music goes he is classed as royalty but his personality certainly does not reflect that.
He has toured with some amazing people. Stevie Nicks, Tom Jones, the late Ray Charles, and it goes on & on.
He is still alive and still performs around the country. As a matter of fact he just turned 70 a few weeks back.
I have been a fan of Johns for the last 40 years and as a personal idol of mine he has never let me down.
I hope this has given you a tiny bit of insight into who is probably one of the greatest (if not the greatest!) entertainers Australia has ever produced.
Plus don’t pay any attention to all the “retired” comments.
Never ever has John EVER said that he was retiring. He’s just stopped playing at the big venues because it’s a lot of pressure on an artist to fill all of those seats. When John did his last major solo tour back in 2000 he titled it “The Last Time” meaning the last time he was going to do a major solo promotional tour. People just didn’t listen and only paid attention to the tour title and then started making up their own stories. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn’t really know John Farnham.
It's gone into the Aussie vernacular, he/she has made more comebacks than (replace Lazarus with) John Farnham
I keep hoping that when I hear this song I would not want to cry. I buried my little brother to this 25 years ago. I love it. I JF
It is really sad that the rest of the world missed out on him since the 1960s. He is an Australian national treasure.
He has a 4 octave range. Thats big for a singer. Most usually only around 3 to 3 1/2. Try watching a whole concert and see him live rather than just watching a screen. The atmosphere is totally different and you will see him shake hands with pretty much every one in the audience. LOL He will hug you right back. That's the type of guy he is. Thats why we love him!! Suggest you check out some of our female singers that have this type of range. Vanessa Amorosi and Tina Arena will give you the same reaction.
Wow! What a voice! 😵 Never heard of him or this song,I love it!!! 💕👍👍👍 Love your reaction Ty 🤗 always a joy to see how you'll react 😀
@@kjdavis1 I have already seen reaction to Little River Band,will check out the other John Farnhams songs though and thanks 😎👍
Love John Farnham and his incredible voice. An Aussie treasure who didn't seek fame overseas.
Yeah he is still alive and still performing. Your summary of his personality is so spot on. We have been having severe droughts again lately, so, not for the first time eitger, he put together a huge televised benefit concert to raise money for those affected by ir. He turned 70 on July 1st of 2019 and is still going strong. He is 1 amazing man, our mational treasure!
Dude he is one of the best there has ever been and when you see him live in concert it’s something else.
Wow! Never heard of him, boy I feel like I missed a lot of great music from him. Great Video
He has a few albums out. 'Whispering Jack' is fantastic.
Firefighter CB oh your in for a treat!! so many videos on here of our John.. from when he started out to right up to now 70 and still rocking on.. have even his concerts on here.. songs to check out are Please don’t asks me, comic conversation both live with MSO, Burn for you with Tommy Emanuel, amazing grace, you never walk alone at carols by candlelight, your the voice, help, when the war is over, magic, and so much more.. 😃 enjoy
You only have to Google him to see some amazing video,s. Thank You for liking one of our man we call the voice. He is so humble.
His Whispering Jack album rebooted his career in 1986. There’s a reason John Farnham is affectionately known as Australia’s Favourite Son. Anyone born in Australia before 1980 remembers the fun and talent he brought to the Australian music scene. The 80s really was a golden age of pop and rock music for Australia with a lot of great talent that could have gone so much further, but at the time for a country of only 15 million people it was hard for our little backwater to break out on the world stage with only a few exceptions like INXS.
Same here, never heard him till now
Thanks MRM
Amazing this is my first time listening to this and im going to look up more.
There is a very big and deep hole full of classics that you are looking into LOL
The album Whispering Jack was the album that rebooted John Farnham’s music career in 1986. There’s a reason he’s known as Australia’s favourite son.
Try also “The Main Event” AMAZING concert!!! John Farnham and a couple of also very talented friends! ❤️
He is singing here with his long time back up singer Lisa Edwards. He also does Amazing Grace with his other two back ups Valetta Field & Lindsay Fields
Wow...beautiful! Never heard him/her before and so glad to hear this! Loved it!
@@lynw1623 Never heard both of them.... him or her together...actually had never heard either one of them and loved them both. The song was "Angels" and it was sung by John Farnham and a female (not sure of her name) so I said him/her.
Yes our amazing John Farnham is still going strong. I have seen him live many many times and he is truly incredible 💕
Another ripper song is John Farnham with Human Nature - Every time I Cry💕💕
@@kerrypapworth1526 Thanks for the suggestions, since watching this video I have found John Farnham's site and have gone to Amazon and downloaded almost all of the songs I like! Wonderful new addition to my "stash"!!!
@@kerrypapworth1526 That's awesome! I'm in the U.S. & 47y/o and just found out about him last year. If I'd known about him back in highschool I would've been following him since then. I have a very good friend who lives in New South Wales and I asked her about him not long ago...lol
John Farnham is one of the nicest guys in showbiz, funny, smart and genuine.....just downright likeable. He did a show at the local footy oval in my little hometown in Central Victoria (and the hometown of his lead guitarist) just after his 'Whispering Jack' album and it's lead single 'You're The Voice' had gone ballistic....the biggest thing in the country in a little town of 6000 people.....full stage show.....brilliant. He is 'The Voice'.
You're reaction to John Farnham was spot on. A truly Australian legand and all round great guy.
John has had a long career and seen the high's and lows of the business which is probably part of why he is such a genuinely nice person from all that people say of him... From back in the day when you first sang Sadie the cleaning lady as a young man until today.. we thank you for the wonderful music and songs :)
Because there are never enough reactions to Farnsey, my recommendations would be Burn For You, When The War Is Over, Please Don’t Ask Me, and of course, his freaking ICONIC performance as Jesus is JC Superstar. He really is majestic.
Oh yeah for sure also his duet with Barnsey and Diesel When something is wrong with my baby. These guys love what they do it just looks like a fun jam session. ❤ love me some Farnsey 😁😎🌟
Yes John is still very much alive and you could bet he would shake your hand right back and give you a hug. John is very down to earth.
Note how far he sings off the mic. This indicates extreme vocal power. he has to sing that far off or his voice distorts the diaphragm of the mic.
Power Plus!!!
I worked for a large speaker company...I saw that immediately! Not may people know about that and I think it's odd they don't!
Elvis did it too.
That’s always something I notice with him- he pulls that mic right away when he belts, and his voice is just THAT powerful. It’s truly a wonder to behold.
Hi just listened to John Farnham Angels. He is now 71 years old and still sings all his amazing songs in the same cord as he did when he was in his 20's. He.
is as Australian icon much adored by all ages. He chose not to leave Oz to make it in "the big time, " but choose to sing for us. The whole country know him as Farns. And he is exactly as you said he appeared. Down to earth, honest chats to anyone as if he was their never door neighbor. He was voted Australian of the year in the 80's. Look for a clip when Celine Dion was on tour here and all she wanted to do was sing YOUR THE VOICE during her concert with him in
Melbourne. It's a fabulous clip .PLEASE try listening to A TOUCH OF PARADISE , YOUR THE VOICE they will blow you away.
I love how you began to nod and feel the music at 3:20.. You knew right then you'd be in for a treat.
John Farnham is an amazing entertainer, singer and all round fantastic bloke. I have seen him in concert 5 times and each time has been amazing..what a voice..x
Yep, our John is one of the boys, no airs or graces, straight up funny, gorgeous and talented. He gets embarrassed when people praise him. If you met him, you wouldn't stop laughing and you'd want to be his best friend 💖💖
As an Australian young girl of the 80’s Johnny Farnham was my first favourite singer when he released his album “Wispering Jack” (it was on tape! - my first tape too!) He was already a big star in Australia by the 80’s which you may already know by now. He was a hit with my mums generation also and still has a huge impact on the following generations as a great singer, performer, comedian and all round great guy! Yes he is still alive and very much still keeping his toe in the public eye even in adds on “telly” (television) Despite doing many “last and final shows” lol 😆 I took a huge group of friends one year to a concert in Melbourne a couple of decades ago now, but it was one I will NEVER forget! The best concert I have ever been to! It’s so nice to hear your reactions to JF, he is like an icon to Australians and it’s so cool to see his music shared on your channel. You might also like this video. The Main Event one of many to enjoy. Takes me back. m.ua-cam.com/video/THdyZ5tJQC0/v-deo.html
“Whispering Jack” rather! 🤦🏼♀️
Such a Larikin. Such a Legend.
John Farnham is 70 Years
of Age now,
& He Still Sings just as Well,
If Not Better.‼️😌
He is "Salt of the Earth,"
&. He Has a Beautiful💜Soul.
What you See....Is Him,
100 % Genuine.‼️
John Farnham is one of the greatest natural voices in the world. Any time, any day he can turn up and sing like that. But he's had more 'retirement' tours than Ozzy Osbourne.
Lisa Edwards is a legend, too.
I agree with the first part of your comment. but I totally disagree with the retirement part. He never said he was retiring & it's no longer even mildly amusing when people say it!!
Yep, you nailed his character. A very “down to earth”, natural and super talented bloke!! And yes, he is alive and well and still touring!
Enjoyed this one. There are so many great live performances yet to be seen. His early work from the mid 80 to early 90s are his best. Best voice on the planet
He certainly would shake your hand and have a beer with you, the one thing I really loved about John was he would always include the smaller towns on his tours, I remember he said that when organizing a tour he tried to get venues that were within a 4 hours drive so that everyone could have the chance to go to his concerts.
Your feeling about him being very approachable and down to earth is spot on. I'm an Aussie, like him, and have seen him perform live a few times, and he is very humble and nice....as well as having a spectacular voice.
John Farnham could have taken the world by storm but was happiest jn his own backyard. I guess he knew how stressful global success would have been. A national treasure. Thanks for sharing. X
You say you would hug him he definitely hug you right back that's the type of man he is that's why we all love him in Australia🙏🇭🇲👍
Straya Johnny Farhnam the voice glad these vidjas are popping up 2021
still gets me emotional The Voice .
Our JOHN is now 73 and still sounds the same. So pleased that the Usage enjoying OUR JOHN 🙏🙏🙏🙏
He is 51 here and his voice is strong as ever.
You are a good judge of character. John is just as you described..... genuine humble funny and just loves his audience. He is just grateful that they like his music and come to his concerts. Terrific guy.
You have it exactly, he is a genuine good guy, and yes he is still going , just semi retired. You should see him singing with Olivia Newton John. He also supports all appeals eg. drought relief, fire fundraisers, flood relief. We call him Whispering Jack. Our Aussie legend.
God, what a talent and a voice.....sing "Sadie" haha!
that our jonn, acting the clown ,he such a softie, the best voice in Australia
He is exactly like that. I have met him a few times and he is friendly and aproachable, and full of fun. And he has a BIG voice. An Aussie Icon. Yes he is still alive.
It's funny you should mention Freddie from Queen. When Freddie passed on, Brian May asked John if he'd join the band. John said no, because it would take him away from his family. John is a great family man. Brian, respected that decision and he and John are still good friends to this day.
Played it at the funeral of my partner!
My mum is a huge Johnny fan and told me she wants this song at her funeral. Now it makes me tear up everytime i hear it, but i can never stop listening to it.
John is a real gentleman and really down to earth
Yep. We all love him here in Australia. He is such a sweetheart as well as a sensational singer. His concerts are the best because he includes the audience ... can’t say enough. 💖
Matte you have him pegged exactly right. Farnsie is a down to earth great guy
John Farnham is not only one of the greatest performers of all time in person he is he Greatest bloke, I have been fortunate enough to have met him heaps of times in my life and he has never changed first met him as a kid in the early 70's and as an adult....Here is weird thing is That Lisa, who he sung with is my 3rd Cousin I have never met her.
You are right, John is a really down to earth guy and he's very very funny to listen to. John in concert, it's an experience! And I'm glad I stumbled across your channel today. Yes John is still around, not touring as much as he use to but he does still do shows.
Shivers up down my spine ,everytime .❤
You only have to look at their microphone placement to see how powerful John's voice was and is still.
John is the most real performer you will ever see. His range is amazing and he thoroughly enjoys performing for people.. I've only met him once, many years ago, backstage after a show, and we both played back and forth with a toy car (or bike?) he'd bought for a young relative. A very special man. Incomparable voice.
Watching him sing " The wind beneath my wings" let me know that hes the greatest singer that we've ever known. And the reason why most don't know of him in America is because he would have outshined everyone.
As you can see John is hilarious, and just a good bloke - Aussie legend, and was even made Australian of the Year some time back. He's just being silly at the beginning. Stunning vocals, out of this world, and can could do it bending over shaking peopje's hands in the audience. Lisa was one of his backing singers for about 20 years.
Your assessment on John's humanity was spot on. I met him at a Telethon in Perth W.A. in the early 80's. And where was John when not on camera, outside talking to hundreds of people in the long queue in the pouring rain. Afterwards, we had two parties, one for the workers and one for the 'celebrities'. John came and stayed with my mob, the workers. And he's never changed. Celene Dion was here last year and insisted on sharing her stage with him. His reaction was an example in genuine humility. And then of course, there's that voice. BTW I loved your presentation - so first time, I'm following someone on UA-cam. Looking forward to seeing your other works - it's a really good format; so good to see someone enjoying great music like you do.
Love Lisa Edwards voice
listen to Send Me An Angel ... Lisa does the high vocals
Lisa has been his backing singer for most of his career, she's brilliant and would have to be for "The Voice" the great Johnny Farnham 👍🇦🇺
You’re spot on , John Farnham is a very down to earth man, he’s very funny as well. He’s now retired but performed in February this year for the Australian FireFight concert
Right on the money mate ! Farnham is a legend here in Australia, he is The Voice !
Lerv from down under \m/ \m/
John was born 1949 and still sings like the Vids you Showed ,71 Years Young .
To have that must trust in your fellow vocalist is a rare thing...I’ll sing my heart out, I know you’ll go with me and we’ll nail it. Stunning.
You're so right about John, Ty. I had friends who lived next door to him and his wife Jill years ago and they were a very down to earth couple and great neighbors. He and Jill have been married since 1973 by the way. He said he was happy to stay in Australia with his wife and kids rather than make it big time in the US. His family has always came first. John is well known for his sense of fun and easy going manner as well as his amazing voice. That's why he is so loved in Australia.
John is a lovely guy , a gentle man to all. His persona is real. He even drove a lady friend home I know after a show and was a complete gent- in his mini- minor.
You know when he scratches his head that the song is good
Thank you so much for keeping me company while I am in isolation (Corona virus). I love your renaissance choices. I was 15 when I first wagged school to see John Farnham. I am 65 now. His voice is still amazing. I have seen him many times since. All of Australia loves him, he is as he appears and we love him for it. Jimmy Barnes is another favorite as is Karise Eden. Thank You, lovely man.
This bloke is the voice. 😉😉
No no, you're the voice !
@@Bandito071 Is that you? 😁
What is great about John Farnham is that he is better live than on CD and his CDs are awesome. He delivers messages within his music and his musical arrangements, vocal range and his stage presence like this are so personal but also at the same time commanding that stage presence. I have seen him 4 times and met him once and is one of the most genuine people and also has a sense of humour. He did a quick song with Tom Jones on live TV and played up to his voice was not the best but at the same time showing upmost respect for Tom.
Have seen him at airport and he is nice to everyone eg photos etc, Currently recovering from mouth cancer. Has had part of jaw removed. So sad. Hope he will sing again one day
Australia’s 🇦🇺 legend ❤️
Great Channel Ty. Love your commentary and wit, very genuine.
You are absolutely correct. Is he really down to earth. He puts on no airs. I have met him and worked on the same stage as John and Olivia and they are both the same, quiet, true and grounded. Fabulous people.
John is now about 70 and can still sing like this. Started at about 17 and still performs periodically.
Add to the recommendations below, John Farmham sang for a brief while with an iconic Australian band called, the Little River Band, and his biggest song from then was Playing To Win... definitely a pumping track.
Your right, he is as real as it gets, such a good honest humble man. Just feel like you could walk up to him as you would a friend, he has always been like that.
