[@suyincheah4895]

Me too! Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it in 2021 as part of a collection of love songs, but then I stumbled on this the duet, it is just on another level altogether. My favourite version of this beautiful ballad.

[@Br4tzy]

Two of the most talented and under rated artists of all time.

[@MrWastingmytime59]

Rest in peace our dear Olivia. Their voices were so well suited together.

[@lizrothwell1210]

Have just come across this ,my it stirred some beautiful memories. Lived in Australia for 20 odd years,had never heard of John until then, was asked by an Aussie neighbour to go with her to his concert as her hubby didn't want to go. Can honestly say it was one of the best live performances I ever saw. John had the most incredible voice,his range was off the planet and he had such a warm funny ,beautiful interaction with his fans. He was brilliant & I became a firm fan. This duet with the lovely soulful Olivia gave me goosebumps ,they were such great friends, a very special bond.❤

[@angelshelden2281]

John Farnham is super cute here, so young, so handsome. And Olivia, so beautiful, goddess ♥♥♥

[@MelissaLovesMakeup89]

This song...this performance...goosebumps, heart, soul, emotion!! PERFECTION!!

[@viviennelilithlaurent3875]

Johnny has certainly held his title as "The Voice" in hearts all over the world. Olivia we love you- you brave beautiful woman ❤ These two lifelong friends - may they continue to make beautiful music together, forever.... xo

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

[@69davyd]

You can see the love and friendship between John and Olivia, brings me to tears

[@angelshelden2281]

The best ever version of "Please don't ask me", nothing can top this for me, don't know how many times I've come back to this to watch it, and still gives me shivers every single time. It's just so beautiful... the voices, the facial expressions, the movements, the touch, the sincerity, the chemistry - it's so unreal, it gives me shivers and goosebumps every single time, so so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video.

[@suyincheah4895]

I concur! 100%!

[@boobob9846]

Praying for John. What a talent! What a vocal range, depth of emotion and unbridled passion in his presentation. Always sends shivers down my spine when I watch this. Unique and unsurpassed in this country. The greatest male singer we have ever produced. Speedy and complete recovery, John. Holding thumbs for you.

sublime! You'd think it was true. Olivia is so beautiful, it's a fantastic performance from both of them.

[@cockersbj]

A very superb performance , their voice compliments to each other which is really amazing !

[@mssuziquzi]

+Jun Mendoza You're right. I was at the concert and it was amazing, a real privilege. You should look for the songs they sang with Anthony Warlow too.

[@Allylovemessina]

John Farnham is just uuuhhhh INCREDIBLE!!!!

[@SrtavasodecervezaBlogspot2013]

what a Beautiful woman Olivia is and her unique and exquisite voice... GOD!!

[@redryderaus]

One voice we will never hear again, the other voice we may never hear again. I'm sitting here with tears running down my face.

[@gail9825]

We were so fortunate to grow up with John Farnham on the radio, records or when my mum would play one of his songs on our piano in the lounge room. After he recorded Rain Drops Keep Falling on my head she went to our local music shop and bought the sheet music. That song will always remain special. I was 11 when it was released. Not long ago read the book PLAYING TO WIN. It is a fantastic biography on John Farnham, Australia nearly lost him over board aged 11. Thank god he clung on. Olivia Newton John, she's a diamond, sparkling forever in our skies and in peace now. We are so proud of Livvy and Johnny.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

2 absolute angels. And Olivia’s smile was/is unmatched.. Two of humanity’s absolute Best !!!

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Thank you for posting Mr Goble. It brings a tear to the eyes watching this beloved duo performing your beautiful composition.

[@alyn927]

On my Oh my oh my the most stunning performance I love them both but John is my favourite. This song haunts me thankyou John and Olivia and thank you for posting this ❤️❤️😍😍

[@agnesobandogonzalez3570]

A very awesome song and the duet is superb! The lyrics of the song is really very touching.😅

[@treadingtheboards2875]

Oh wow, to hear this again brings back to many memories, my wife and I have been to so many John Farnham concerts including this one, The Main Event. Around 2007, I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend to perform this song with her at a couple of her concerts, we were both in tear every time we sang it. I was also asked, and persuaded by my wife, to sing it at her funeral in 2019, I barely made it through.

[@lindavanniekerk8679]

Absolutely stunning!

[@AlexV1964]

[@Msizzyblue]

Amazing and so beautiful.

[@wolfpackfans]

Wow! Captivating! I Always loved their harmony! My favorite was that song “Dare to Dream” for the Olympics in Sydney, Australia. John Farnham has got some PIPES and range! I wish they had recorded more together!

[@dzfz2100]

holy crap, i never realised how brilliant a signer john farnham is - growing up, i only ever heard that god after song "you're the voice" over and over on 2WS FM and figured there wasn't much else to him. How wrong I was!

[@traviscarlson6718]

dzfz2100 If you want to listen to more John Farnham Songs Search up His Version Of the song "HELP" And Many other of his songs called Angels, When the War is over, Two strong Hearts, Break the ice A soundtrack he sang for the American movie RAD ....those are some Nice songs search them up if you get the time 😊

[@traviscarlson6718]

dzfz2100 and If you thought that there wasnt much more to John Farnham after You're The Voice then your Sadly mistaken Why u thought that there wasnt much to him is because After you're the voice you never took much interest in him If you Search him up on KZbin If you search up "John Farnham Songs" There will be So much You just havent Took the time To explore his Amazing Vocal range and How much of an inspiration he is Like I said search him up you will be very impressed

Ben Van Vree make sure you see John singing Amazing Grace live in concert with Vanetta Fields. It will not disappoint.

[@theraylan1002]

First time I ever heard this song by John was as an intro to a Little River Band Concert that was broadcast on HBO back in the late 80's or early 90's?? from Melbourne. The camera was panning the landscape of Australia as the song played. Beautiful then and now. Wish that concert was available on DVD. It was the best.

[@ISSAY68]

goosebumps...hope nobody remove this video!
