Itโs my birthday!!! What better way to celebrate than by watching this stunning performance. Please enjoy a slice of birthday cake from me to you ๐ฐ
Happy birthday Nina and a great reaction. It's just about impossible not to be impressed with John Farnham – no matter what he sings, he knocks it out of the park. There's lots of super talented Aussie female vocalists you might like too. Saw you have reacted to a Tina Arena song already. She's always great as are Vanessa Amorossi (Have A Look, Absolutely Everybody) and Vika and Linda (especially their vocals with the Black Sorrows – The Chosen Ones, Chained To The Wheel).
I was 19 when John did that performance, so John was 29 there. Doesn't look it. As an Aussie, I'm so proud oh him.
Would love a comparison reaction to Eva Cassidyโs version of this wonderful song.
I think it was 1969.
Happy belated birthday from down under!! ๐ my birthday gift to you is 'heavy' by Delta Goodrem. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Another amazingly talented Aussie ๐
He does sing everything even to opera.
Ah memories! The Don Lane Show. It's funny how you remember a great performer. How they take you through your life. I'm nearly 70 and I'm an Australian and John Farnham รฌs up there with the Stones and the Beatles as sounds that have moved my life
Heโs ridiculously good!! But hereโs the million dollar questionโฆwho do you rate better based purely on vocals, Farnsey or Elvis? ๐ค
Omg that was when he was so youngโค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
It's funny, because English Australians, try to claim him as a pom.
But it's a huge compliment because he's that good and that they want him.
His family came here as 10 pound poms, John was only 9yrs old.
What happened after that is what made John.
He is Australian ,Australian generations have grown older, listening to John.
He is a modern day folk hero with just the best voice imaginable, and a personality and kindness that makes you happy. ๐
Go John from the seventies wow his voice is astounding like Whitney Houston was to female's..๐ข
You should listen to Rascal Flatts.
Who else could cover Simon and Garfunkel and Led Zeppelin? (and blow you away)
Check out John covering Led Zeppelinโs Black Dog.
Love the channel๐
Belated happy birthday ๐๐๐๐๐ have found your site recently and love your constructive comments ….please check out the magic of Gurrumul especially loved ….. Delta and Gurrumul perform Bayini: The Voice Season 2 ….. on YouTube …. Something special
Can't pick a favourite song from John ๐๐
Happy birthday!
They have made a movie documentary about him being released in July. Hereโs the trailerโฆ

This was that difficult period when he was trying to transition from a popstar to a sole singer.
Another wonderful example of John's extraordinary talent is his duet with Anthony Warlow, having fun doing Granada from a concert called The Main Event which also has Oliva Newton John
Having grown up with John on TV singing for 40 years, we love him. His voice is amazing. Look out for Gethsemane, yes he did this on TV live & it's wonderful
Sadly, he won't be singing for us any more. August last year, Cancer took half his magnificent jaw! He is recovering well (73 not out) but he will not perform again. ๐ฅ
If you google "You're the voice" Brian May (yes of Queen Fame) you will have John's last performance at the tender age of 70yo, and his gorgeous friend Olivia Newton-John too.
May 11th there will be a premiere of "Finding the Voice" all about his career.
John is notorious for not wanting "Legend" status or biographies / biopics done of him.
This is the first he's agreed to.
Great clip, glad you have found him! Chookas! ๐๐ฆ
(oh and as an aside, he calls me his "Red-in-blue")
Listen to Gethsemane by him. He is easily the best male vocalist of his and our generation.
Oh…..and Happy Birthday!! ๐
Have you seen Johnny and Jimmy Barnes sing together? Two top Aussies whom we adore :).
It is widely said that John has never had vocal "training".. Mind you he has worked with many, many fantastic singers over the years and has learned (and taught) many great techniques. You must watch his version of Amazing Grace live with Vanetta and Lyndsay and you will see what I mean.

It was your birthday but we got the gift ๐โค thank you and happy birthday
Even when John was a teenage pop star, he had a beautiful voice. Over the years, it has matured into a powerhouse. He deserves the title of Australia's best singer.
If you want to hear John sing opera try โGranadaโ, his duet with Anthony Warlow. He has some fun during the song as well.
