How good is this, JPY can still sing his guts out and is backed up by the best house band in the world. This is a classic song with impeccable credentials.
Vanda and Young wrote so many amazing songs. One hit after another! ... I wish someone had recorded my 1982 written classic song "Aussie Girls" back in the Eighties. I could have spent the last four decades as "Yesterday's Hero" myself! )-:
Squeak was a childhood hero to me I had the JPY stickers the posters all of his albums, actually I still have most of those album's and now in my mid 50's I still get a sense of joy when I hear his songs will remain a fan till I die.
42 years after 1st release and still sounds as powerful as it did back then. Voice has ripened with age but the presentation was as good as of old. 👏👏👏👍
Love it. Still gives me goosebumps. I was 4yo when released. Can really remember being in the car with Mum listening to this. Near the old papermill in Kew/Fairfield.
Hard to go past Vanda and Young for a great tune, because they wrote so many. With JPY singing Yesterday's Hero, it is yet another reminder of the talent they had as songwriters, and John Paul Young as a vocalist.
WHY WASN'T JOHN PAUL YOUNG EVER A CELEBRITY JUDGE ON AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT OR X-FACTOR he had street cred, big Aussie star in the 1970's pop scene with several big hits. PASADENA, YESTERDAY'S HERO, LOVE IS IN THE AIR
The basement is real and it ain't no night club, today's legends yesterday's heroes.. We have the scars bruises etc as proof even the pics from inside . .
Yes me took yes we have the pics only one way in via ambo... A mess I am I survived, found on a gurney, placed in a coma and rushed into intensive care...4 months later, and 3 years have past but we survived.. And became today's legends... Are u...

Top song , it is mine
One of the best Rockwiz end act
Love the nod to Countdown with the triple-projection of JPY's head.
Anyone who thinks Love Is In The Air is his best work is sadly mistaken. This is by far the best song he ever produced
Damn, I never knew that was Vanda and Young. They could pen a mighty ditty. JPY proving his pipes are still loud and clear. I love it.
Overwhelming sense of nostalgia right then!
Awesome, brings me back to 1975!
JPY, you Aussie legend!
God bless you, and thank you!!!
First class,this is one of my favourite songs of all time,from an era when real rock & roll was produced.
Ohhhhhhh man!!!!!! JPY will always be a hero! My God that voice is perfection, absolute legend!
Absolutely fabulous! How the icons of this era can still perform with such energy is admirable to say the least. Great song!
You have to give it to this old bastard. That was pretty bloody good.
One of the best examples of Vanda and Young's prodigious song writing skills - post the easybeats era
Jpy bloody legend. No other words can give this fella justice
Saw the Vanda and Young show twice and would see it again, bloody fantastic and JPY you are still amazing
That is not John Paul Young.
@@gregorchard7881 it sure is.
@@PatriciaRobinson-gm2kh yeah, i know the person on rockwiz is JPY. I was saying to the otiginal commenter that JPY is not from Vanda and Young.
Nailed it alright, he's still got it

The soundtrack of my life ...
The 3 camera shot. Brilliant flashback to the 70s.
Have to give him credit, his voice is fantastic after these years. Great song
Another great performance backed up by the almighty RocKwiz band
He still sounds great. Love this song
I got the Hero album for Christmas in 1975. Still have it. Still love it.
Thank you Harry & George (RIP)💖
That's a beautiful gold top he's got there.
JPY is a bloody legend!!!!
Saw a video of him doing this very same song about 6 month ago and man, he still has it.
RocKwiz bang is brilliant and all the singers and great.
Love it - that voice !!!! Fantastic performance. Thank you JPY. Never gets old
Love it. Still gives me goosebumps. I was 4yo when released. Can really remember being in the car with Mum listening to this. Near the old papermill in Kew/Fairfield.
Great rock n roll voice
Always a tight band
Australian Legend JPY
Thanks for the music + memories
Nailed it. Strong performance.
Rock quiz band rocks 👏👏
under appreciated voice IMHO. Shoulda been far more famous than he was.
How did i miss this one. JPY is a classic
Still a talented singer,an a great fisherman.
Great Song and Vocals by JPY
Pure goodness.
I always liked JPY....those Vanda Young songs were perfect for him. Sings his old hit record pretty well here!
I agree with you Monique. I saw him at the Enmore Theatre about a year ago and he did a Vanda and Young tribute. He was great.
more aussie talent please!!! just listening on the radio in those goode olde days
NO IMPORTS!!!!
Absolutely brilliant live,what a great voice
Very good performance , fabulous !
I have seen JPY two times since watching this. He is as good as ever.
Still doin it squeek.....We need you to do some tours..
Wow, JPY sill got it ❤
Aussie icon.
I haven’t seen this before but what a great performance live from JPY. Goes to show that real talent is just that, real.
Glad to have met him
He is still rocking it like 1975
nailed it
Incredible wow seen him last in 1988 orange show live Fuk yeahhh
Go Squeek..still got it mate
Still got it legend
😘ilove this song
What a perfect Tribute to all singers, we still love them all.
Still got it mate👍👍
I was a young man when this came out and JPY did nothing to impress me. That has now changed...
Nankervis always seems pretty comfortable with himself.
Just like that, instant classic.
perfect
Great song , good one
love it!
He looked like the dead guy from weekend at burnies , but he sounded as good as ever
JPY is the Man with this !
Love JPY

Vladimír Dvořák 2:29...THANK YOU...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dignity great band
WHY WASN'T JOHN PAUL YOUNG EVER A CELEBRITY JUDGE ON AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT OR X-FACTOR he had street cred, big Aussie star in the 1970's pop scene with several big hits. PASADENA, YESTERDAY'S HERO, LOVE IS IN THE AIR
Still on my playlist in 2024
sounds as good as he did years ago
Did even better on the NYE concert! 👏👍
JPY is bit like Robbie Williams, in the sense that women from 8yrs old to 80 yrs old. They just love him, maybe a few blokestoo.
The basement is real and it ain't no night club, today's legends yesterday's heroes.. We have the scars bruises etc as proof even the pics from inside . .
My era. Only found out recently that Bay City Rollers did this?
Bring it on OLDE school muzik
Kind of ironic the song is now about him... still got a great voice though!!!
Was thinking the same...
I love you, Julia Zemiro
I did'nt know this version....I always thought it was by the Bay City Rollers!!!!....
JPY's original is the best.
Classic song jpy
Oh, yeah! JPY has still got it!
Looked better in sailor suit ;) Dawes Point in the mid 70's total swoon merchant
The updated news commentator was too funny 😂
Ash Naylor🤘
Better than his own original version
Yes me took yes we have the pics only one way in via ambo... A mess I am I survived, found on a gurney, placed in a coma and rushed into intensive care...4 months later, and 3 years have past but we survived.. And became today's legends... Are u...
Stricltey Aussie!
Hasn’t aged a bit for damn it.
Is he relative with the Young brothers in AC/DC and the guy in Easybeats and Flash and the pan?Those three are brothers, but how about John Paul?
Nah, not related.
Who is that guy?
John get your teeth done son,you can afford it, great song
+Hunky Daboyz No need. THey are fine. This is real music, not pretty boys who rely on looks alone. Its all about the music!
i ever thougt it was a song of the "bay city rollers" ???
The Bay City Rollers covered John Paul Young's original Harry Vanda and George Young's composition.
Bay City Rollers version is nowhere near as good.
JPY needs to go back into the studio and record more hits so we can seperate the SHITS from the HITS
My cuz :)
Could have gotten some of the girls to rip his shirt off? (Otherwise, brilliant!)
Feb. 2024
an ironic song ,,but still good
If you don’t like squeaky that you are tone deaf
