Jimmy Barnes | A Change Is Gonna Come | Live 1984 | Reaction

[@jacquiwho2745]

I’m curious if there are many other non-Australians who are now Jimmy Barnes fans after watching these reviews. It warms my heart to see him getting the recognition he so greatly deserves.

[@Hundhammer]

One here from Germany! Discovered Jimmy via "ThatSingerReacts" some weeks ago...

[@gailratliff7592]

Yes! Huge fan since first hearing him on this reactors channel! I missed out and am now listening to everything Jimmy Barnes!

[@ThatSingerReactions]

It's MIND BLOWING people aren't familiar with him in many other places. Like I'm even shocked I didn't know him at first

[@garrysalis4312]

Some times corporate opinions think that people around the world cant hear or appreciate music from other countries or cultures . My saying is if you don't know the answer to things it's about money 💲. There's a lot to learn and love about people.

[@stephenhopkins6514]

I love the passion you have for Jimmy! I was lucky enough to sing goodbye Astrid on stage with him in the late 90’s with Cold Chisel. He is a force of nature!

Jimmy in his early career was a complete Rock God in Australia and of course still is! However over there years we’ve had the joy of experiencing his musical journey with him. I feel his voice and the experience of hearing and watching him sing hits my soul and I have Anxiety too so I get that feeling!

Keep it coming! Now that you’ve adopted Jimmy as your dad, maybe you could sing with him sometime?

Such amazing performers. Keep up the great work. Our favourite channel at the moment. You Sir, are super cool.

[@swedishlina]

This is one of my absolute favourite performance of Jimmy’s, it gives me chills and goosebumps. I just love how much you appreciate the Barnes’s family’s talents. The fact that that they have contacted you just shows me how much they appreciate someone like yourself realise how special they all are. I’m so happy for you and them the cover that you are bringing them, and showcasing them to the rest of the world. Lots of love from Melbourne Australia ♥️😊

[@firdaus.ozgirla8498]

Still learning so much from you about Jimmy’s voice and I’ve been listening to him all my life! Even as a kid, I knew he was a rock god but I always thought he had so much soul when he sang. I really like that side of his voice. You should listen to “When Your Love is Gone”, one of my favourites. Hope you do make it to Australia soon, us Aussies will roll out the red carpet for you! 🇦🇺 ❤️👍🏼

[@InJusticeAustralia]

“He raises my level of anxiety…” 😂😂 Now you’re in contact with him, and as you also sing so well, it seems logical a duet is imminent! And boy, are we looking forward to that!!

O would freeze up

[@oncall21]

This song was from his first solo album after Cold Chisel broke up called 'No Second Prize.' I've seen Cold Chisel so many times and I saw Jimmy with this first band and it was just as electric. The night I saw this was when Jimmy said that his wife Jane had just had a daughter that they named 'Mahalia' after Mahalia Jackson. Thanks for sharing!

Let’s remember that in 1984, Jimmy had likely consumed a bottle of liquor on stage before belting this out. He’s just so gifted, so blessed with ability that nothing dulls his shine. Impressive always. Xxx

Fave song, fave singer. Hadn’t heard that before! We Aussies have had Jimmy on our cereal daily for forever. We are not blaze. We are demanding. We are accustomed to such fine excellence we tend to just expect it. This is what we listen to at the shops, at the pubs, at the service station while we’re pumping fuel. They call us the Lucky Country. Just saying... Thanks for reminding us what we already nee but hearing it with new ears is nice... Oh! Just recalled cute anecdote of a time I worked on a gig with him... lol next time ...

I saw Jimmy performing at a pub in Canberra in 1984 or 1985. I was standing just a few metres away from him and I recall the speakers were huge - I couldn't hear properly for days! It was great and he gave it his all, sweat was just pouring off him. So nice to see a video from this same time.

After ten years rocking with Cold Chisel, this was the beginning of his solo career and just shy of ten years before he went full soul with his Soul Deep album.

I was thinking that, an early solo gig after Chisel split. Working Class man album was late 1985.

That band 'Cold Chisel' Australia's greatest band 70s/80s, but never got the international fame/success they deserved. They were a perfect mix of melody and fire. Every person in that band could of had a solo career. If you want to know where Jimmy got his fire from you will need to watch his movie/Doco or book "working class boy".

*Interesting fact* Jimmy Barnes was born with 2 sets of vocals cords which allows him to sing with that Grit and tone that made him famous 😊

[@NZLatic]

Jimmy’s first solo album was Bodyswerve and this was just one of so many classic songs from that album. This song was my favourite for many years. He also covers Janis Joplin’s “Piece Of My Heart” on this album which is also fire. In fact, the whole album is fire with not a dud track on it. Compulsory listening for any Jimmy fan.

Stunning! Jimmy is amazing, and I’m so happy that you’re focusing on his singing ability. He’s still underrated as a vocalist even in Australia. Loved as a rockstar, but his vocal skills often get overlooked! To be fair, a lot of the ‘he just screams’ stuff comes from Jimmy because he often refers to his voice like that. But we all know better!

[@flyingdutch9818]

Seen him multiple times; in the late 8ps he was at his peak, was at a concert and he was hitting notes and we in the mosh pit were actually looking around at each other as iF to say ‘ did he actually just do that?’. An insanely powerful voice hitting notes one shouldn’t be able to hit.

[@georgecurrenti]

In the early 1980’s band called “Cold Chisel” played the pubs… fortunate to see them play a few times with Jimmy as their front man. Glad you have discovered him and appreciate the talent he is…. why has it taken you so long? 😀.

I can't believe nobody has gotten him to react to either of our 1st 2, 2nd place Aus Idol ppl, yet! He loves Barnesy, so he would LOVE Shannon Noll (who from memory was introduced to Barnrsy in a later episode of the show...possibly sang with him on it..) Then, the way he loves ppl who can really belt numbers out in a higher range etc. He would love Anthony Callea aswell.. his remake of Boyz II Mens song, End Of The Road, or Janet Jacksons song Together Again, which he actually recorded as a duet with Bonnie Anderson who as a child, won the very 1st season of either Australia's Got Talent or X Factor. It's an amazing version! Actually, I can't seem to find ANYONE who has reacted to ANY songs by ANY of those artists... then there is another song called California which was put out by Savage Garden... that would blow his mind aswell...along with 2 John Farnham songs...they're songs he has reacted to before, but he has never seen/heard them performed this way before...and it would blow his mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯 I've gotta setup a patron account and get him to start reacting to some of these songs, they are brilliant!

A mate of mine picked me up from Hospital one evening, and instead of taking me home after the operation, she thought It'd be fun to take me to a smallish room at the Casino in Melbourne to see Barnsy. It was pitch black in the room and I has no idea that I was positioned in front of a speaker. Jimmy came on, opened up his formidable vocal cords and I almost died of fright. My arms and legs made a star jump about 6 feet off the floor & I screamed louder than Jimmy. 🤣Christ I got a fright. My heart pounded so loudly & rapidly that I nearly fainted. I love him, but perhaps it wasn't the best thing to do post opp. My friend and I still laugh about it. Apart from Tom Jones & John F, there's nobody with a more powerful voice. What a voice he's got.
