John Farnham - A Touch of Paradise (High Quality)

[@ruthparks3380]

He has to be one of the greatest male vocalists that ever lived.

[@skilla69]

agreed

[@brucemann5231]

Absolutely! Top 3 with Freddie Mercury and Mick Hucknel

[@emmanuelwolf6568]

amen to that

[@benbaird8904]

Here here .

[@sumdouglas3376]

Fully agree. I love watching videos of Americans that have never heard him, or jimmy barnes reactions. They are always stunned by their talent

[@lindsaybrown5897]

spewin I was born 10 yrs too late ...... I would of loved to see a Johnny concert. My first ever fav song as a kid was "you're the voice" sung it so hard

[@leoniebayley7061]

Thank you John, for your beautiful voice, wish you well dear man

[@ronfreeman5857]

He:s Brilliant!! and much loved..

[@AussieDebb]

John likes the song 😂 and we just love John ❤️ singing it - You are Australia's treasured son and I will be listening to every day u til I cant anymore. Your voice and your smile just warm my soul and melt my heart 💗

[@bruceburns1672]

There would not be any entertainer in the world who sings that would not be in awe of John Farnham after witnessing this performance.

[@kennykarlsson9888]

There's a legacy for you. Hall off fame is the place he should be in. His voice is simply magical.

[@ChrisFirth-do2sm]

I think he already is.

[@bruceburns1672]

The love he has for his audience is amazing, his face lights up when he looks at them, waves and point his fingers in recognition, truly beautiful to watch.

[@julieannejoolz]

Always love this song ❤❤❤

[@isabella15704]

Listening to this masterpiece missing someone i havnt even met yet💔

[@Rayonman31]

Jonny boy was levels above any male vocalist from his era…..amazing how someone with this talent could be considered underrated. A true Australian gem that will go down in history

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

How we missed out in the US. He is so special. One of the best singers I have ever heard.🥰

[@WarlandoOrlando]

@JohnFarnhamChannel You have mellowed with age, but lost none of your talent! Keep it up John!

[@EileenSpeakman]

Keep watching KZbin clips, keep commenting, watch other artistes on youtube, when you leave comments refer to John as well - I've checked out artistes that other contributors have recommended. Try Mitch Tambo and Reigan singing their cover of Great Southern Land, Aussie group Icehouse song. And there's something about Aussie music in general that is really distinctive, emotion and love come through. , John's voice soars. and my heart, soul and spirit. soar with it - it just makes me. feel so happy. 24.10.23. UK. E ❤

[@dd007x]

John had a hugely successful career in his native Australia. He is adored there as he is across the pond in New Zealand. His concerts in the 80' - 90's got bigger played to arena sized crowds often with a stonking awesome band of musicians. I am 51 and love this particular concert. Pressure Down is a favourite. My mother loved his music and had albums of his when I was a teenager. I love his music too. Mum died in 2023 and is deeply missed.

[@AussieDebb]

❤

[@kritnitkritnit1554]

The voice of a generation. The voice of our generation. A living legend.

[@michaelmcinerney1290]

Technicaly he is perfect

[@MsLou001]

I love John Farnham. I walked down the aisle to this. This song makes me melt every single time I hear it. Thank you John for singing this song. Would not be the same if it was sung by anyone else.

[@EileenSpeakman]

This song is just SO BEAUTIFUL. Brings tears to my eyes. ❤❤❤❤

[@sgtleska]

If you feel this song it shows you have real heart! Keep loving the world. ❤

[@EileenSpeakman]

@@sgtleska Always♥️! And without Glenn Wheatley........ Could have been so very different. Love and best wishes to Gaynor. Dec. 2023 E♥️

[@EileenSpeakman]

First time hearing this. - impeccable everything - arrangement, band, backing singers. John rocks, always and ever. 1.10.23. UK. E❤

[@sgtleska]

From this Australian, thank You. ❤🇳🇿

[@EileenSpeakman]

@@sgtleska oh, you're so welcome. I have to tell you there are many singers I really like, but wouldn't necessarily want to buy all of their songs. But John Farnham? Oh, all his songs are exquisite, so much emotion. I didn't really discover him until about a year ago - ( had a busy life, then children in the 80s, so was busy family life onwards) . Always knew of You're the Voice but never knew who sang it until then. Since then I've been glued to his concert videos on youtube on a daily basis. My daughter found a new cd, Greatest Hits, (possibly the last new cd in the UK?). I hope I'm getting the latest documentary Finding the Voice for Christmas, and this week I went into a secondhand record shop and the owner fished out a cd - Farnham.... Then Again....in perfect condition - no indication at all that it had ever been played or even opened I am in awe of his talent, and his personality. Such perfection that I can often tear up, I just love everything he sings, he takes me to a very happy place, and I hope my 10 month old granddaughter is going to grow up with his uptempo version of Old Macdonald had a farm! To all you lovely Farnsy fans who have ever been to his concerts - I'm turning green with envy! Happy Christmas, and happy life to you all. And to John - just keep healing. If another "retirement" performance is a possibility........we're all fingers crossed. 15.12.23. UK. E♥️ PS. Through now following John I have discovered other aussie bands, really love Icehouse's Great Southern Land. And Mitch Tambo. It's a whole new learning experience. E❤️

[@billaskie9114]

No matter when, where he performed, he put absolutely everything into this magic song --excellence beyond par.

[@gulonyotalaga]

Underrated vocalist, to me he's one of the best.

[@mightyV444]

To me, too! Right up there with all the greatest singers :-)

[@jaylaw6970]

Many musicians love him.... No wonder.

[@stevecrocker6904]

i don't think anyone under-rates his voice. A legendary performer

[@EileenSpeakman]

Not as globally exposed as he could have been, he has been to Europe, and USA. (while fronting the Little River Band?). - he's said family life was priority over touring. Very interesting back story - youtube clips of interviews, An Audience with John Farnham tv prog, wikipedia.. Also, there's lots of info about his backing singers and his band 5.11.23. UK. E❤

[@59771006]

Here's a interesting fact for you about John Farnham he's the only artist local of foreign to have achieved number one status on the Australian chart in five consecutive decades 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and Naughties (2000-2010) there's a reason why he's know as "The Voice".

[@annabellaaust]

He's the VOICE!!!!

[@VoVo-oq6fk]

he is Australian

[@tinamartin9585]

His voice 🥰 one of his biggest fans ❤️❤️❤️

[@vaiuta]

[@jaylaw6970]

Love the guy. One of ours (England)... Little impact here, so glad he got his messages out.

Can't wait for him to come back love you man and get better soon ❤ your beautiful wife jill and you're sones god bless

[@kennykarlsson6691]

One of the best male Singer in the World.. He should have been more notised world wide. Its never to late. He still delivers fantastic vocals at the age of 71. Ps lets not forget the amazing band. Sooo much talent on that stadge.

[@stevecrocker6904]

but John is a contented man , no ego problems to ruin him. He didn't want to go and get involved in the big music machine that is the U.S. The world is finding him through youtube.

[@55paddymac]

The ultimate AUSTRALIAN talent. John Farnham singing a Ross Wilson song. Gives me goose bumps every time.

[@jaylaw6970]

British originally. Who can blame him for going Aussie. Beautiful place. And he was underrated here. Altho many musicians love him

[@geerterri]

@@jaylaw6970 Consdering that he family moved to Australia when he was 10, he didn't have much choice. But he is an Australian citizen now, it no longer matters where he was born.

[@Dannycovich3401]

For sure he does, even now.

[@deancooling1624]

Got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written...

[@bruceburns1672]

Absolute perfection a masterpiece, also the way he just loves his audience and lovingly points and waves to them it just shows who this loving person is.

[@danleymark8961]

This song doesn't go old. Glad I was born and enjoyed those golden years ❤❤

[@terryjohinke8065]

Originally written by the great Ross Wilson. A legend in my lifetime.

[@johnodonnell2640]

Always loved him. But never herd the other albums or hits he had till now. My wife & i lived in Melbourne in the early 90s he was huge in that era'. He is one of the best male vocalists of all time . He has a range no other singers have. Incredible voice ' John. Hope you are recovering comfortably. 🙏🙏

[@MichaelCrowe-f8y]

Clearly our best. An outstanding singer and person to boot. Love the voice, the song and his personality. Thankyou John.

How good is John farnham incredible voice, get well mate we miss you.

[@TeniBear10]

I feel so lucky to have been born right before Whispering Jack was released and John's career finally started getting the respect it deserved. In his recent autobiography, he actually mentions recording it at his home on Manningham Rd Bulleen here in Melbourne - which means when I was born, my parents and I lived *right around the corner* from where one of the top albums of all of Australian music was being recorded.

[@cliffcrosfield7795]

I was at this concert with my Daughter in Melbourne. Brilliant concert and to this day we have great memories of this and have been keen followers of his music. It was a very memorable Concert. Thanks, John!

the soprano sax in it is special but it is a great arrangement and executed brilliantly.

You could definitely say that in 1987 Australia was a "touch of paradise" back in that time!!! A real radio track mainstay here and I remember hearing it alot as a kid. However now in 2020?! I beg to differ!!!....

[@stevestewart-sturges2159]

He and Jimmy Barnes have to wot the most powerful and distinctive voiced in the industry.. Watch John's mic technique too, he has to pull back one so many of those notes, he just hammers them out, pure vocal power... Makes it look easy but you know he's working really hard up there...

[@alexsmba]

Steve Stewart-Sturges it’s to avoid “popping” in the microphone. They use pop guards in the studio, but you kind of have to do it manually on stage.

Steve Stewart-Sturges Jimmy Barnes sucks

[@XDF745]

Barnesy is just a screamer. John Farnham is a far superior vocalist.

[@stevestewart-sturges2159]

@@XDF745 back in the 80's and early 90's no one could touch Farnsey, for power, range and technique. I have huge respect for him, but for raw rock n roll power, Barnsey is the man... Sorry Bon Scott
