If you think John's a great singer (and he obviously is the best), he's an even better person. Even now, at 70 years of age, he's still got a wonderful voice. We're so lucky to have him in our country

[@mrmockatoo6786]

John is a classic dag. A dag is the bit of shit that hangs of the bum wool on a sheep...but in the Aussie sense it's an all-round, down to earth, good guy. No pretensions, no hissy fits - he goes out there every time and gives everything to his audience and we love him for it. Sadly, he's semi-retired now but some of us have had fifty years to immerse ourselves in his daginess and loved every minute.

[@queenslanddiva]

YOu're absolutely right. He's a dag of the first order. That's why Aussies adore him.

[@212mochaman]

He's been semi retired for 25 years mate. I like to set my alarm clock to a farnsey farewell tour announcement lol

[@donnam5891]

Bit of a larrikin hey! The audiences just love him. & still do, even though he's not done anything since the beginning of the pandemic. Still can belt it out in his 70's 🙂

[@soniasurija8880]

Very proud of our Aussie Farnham, he’s the darling of Australia. You’re spot on Farnham is humble & down to earth, he treats everyone with respect, lovely man

[@noelroberts8199]

John IS the voice. It is unbelievable that John was not a world star, We love him in Oz, and think he has the best voice going around. He is 72 now and he still sounds as good as ever....

[@dee-smart]

They wanted him in the entertainment industry in America but he refused to leave Australia.

[@chop845]

Had the pleasure of meeting John years ago. Such a nice man. It’s like chatting with someone you’ve known for years. A very funny and humble man.

[@beresfordthompson1370]

Such a beautiful song by the greatest male vocalist of all time. John’s music is so great and has over 50 years of music we in Australia have been lucky enough to have grown up with and now the rest of the world who haven’t had the pleasure are now finding out how magical John is through these reactions. I love the instrumentation in this song, the instruments that sound like birds and tropical sounds. Awesome performance.

[@cristiona22]

As well as a fantastic singer with a smile that would melt icebergs , he has a fantastic sense of humour, is so very humble and tells silly mother in law jokes. He also says he loves to cuddle his audience . Just so much love for him here in Australia.

[@bettinahansen7630]

You got that right👌lot's of♥️🇩🇪 to🇦🇺

[@toddyrocket296]

John Farnham is the Voice and very down to earth.

[@jenniesaunders1917]

Try Burn for You. You won't be disappointed

[@one-eye1721]

It's a measure of his incredible humility that he credits the writer of the song before he sings it.

[@ianmontgomery7213]

have you noticed he always acknowledges people he knows in the audience. he really is a humble, nice guy. I am glad to say i have met him socially.

[@blueycarlton]

The writer of this song is Ross Wilson. His early 70's band Daddy Cool with its anthem Eagle Rock topped the charts for many many months, this song inspired Taupin and John to write Crocodile Rock. In the 80's his band Mondo Rock attained similar popularity. Ross wrote many songs for his bands, and his solo work is also brilliant.

[@jeffreykennedy1266]

Great song, written by the great singer/songwriter Ross Wilson… 👍🇦🇺😎

[@mariamerlynllido-dearsly2452]

❤❤❤❤❤big fan of him too! Love all his music and his band. All beautiful and great voice! ❤❤❤

[@susanstavrou4232]

You always say how good looking he is, that he is, one of our best Aussie entertaners

[@jspettifer]

I was 8 years old in Australia when this album was released. To say it formed a significant part of my (and all Australians growing up in the 80’s) musical upbringing is a massive understatement. I only managed to see him in concert a few years ago. He has an amazing stage presence and is so loved in Australia.

[@philcarey5432]

done alright for an apprentice plumber in Melbourne who started off with Sadie (The Cleaning Lady) ...

[@user-iq3mp5zo8z]

It's really difficult to listen to this song without tearing up. The most beautiful words, beautiful arrangement, hugely talented backing singers and band - and that exquisite, unique voice. Gets my heart and soul every time. ANYTHING by John is just stupendous, out of this world, stratospheric. Yes, dive deeper, Google his biography, family life, videos of his live concerts, interviews, etc. And Google his band members and backing singers - you may be surprised at what you learn. And thank you for posting this video. The song is timeless. 24.10.23. UK. E ❤.

[@dawnthomson9269]

I had to smile when you said that you need to delve further into Farnsey’s music, hope you have set aside a very, very long weekend cause he has lots of music for you to delve into, good luck. I have so many of his songs that are my favourite.

[@margi6035]

You have started a fine path to discover our favourite Aussie son. I am 71 and first saw him when he was 17 and sang ‘Sadie the cleaning lady’. He is now 73 and his voice is as good as ever. I hope you react to him with his band and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in Melbourne singing ‘ Help’ by the Beatles. You will see how well he connects with the crowd.

[@leahmillar8255]

John just pulls at your heart strings

[@tomwareham7944]

John is what us Aussies call a Top Bloke he is exactly like he seems . The female equivalent is an Aussie called Tina Arena check her out you will be amazed as you obviously have been with Farnsey as John is known .

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Check out his performance “Help” live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra the best live performance ever

[@amandagray3694]

A must!!

[@Hawksmere]

Will do this now! Thank you so much

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Hawksmere awesome can’t wait

[@angelawalters8453]

Fire Fight Australia concert is another one of John's brilliance. this was to raise money for bushfires in Australia a few years ago

[@NowVs1980s]

Omg I forgot how much I love this song🥹 Beautiful! And yes John is handsome. I was very lucky to see him Live when I was in my late teens.🙏🏾✨💜

[@MattBonnici]

He's pretty much ben the Voice of Australia since the early 80s! All Aussies adore him. We love ya Farnsie!

[@susanstavrou4232]

Whispering jack album will say it all for you,even from the start of his career he was brilliant,he can sing anything

[@rickandersen2284]

You are sooooo right!

[@paul-Ess]

Gday Rick.

[@wallywombat164]

He's just a nice good all round bloke.

[@zin153]

How is it possible not to have heard of John Farnham before? He is the best male vocalist on the planet.

[@holdenboy02]

Hawksmere, i am a Australian & can send u heaps of unbelievable footage of John Farnham plus tv interviews, also the story about John & his manager putting up their houses as deposit to launch The Voice album & then history. John has one of the best vocal range of all singers, it is very rare & a amazing story, & yes we do love him in Australia Love yr reactions & you do it without too much bullshit, Well done.

[@paul-Ess]

Keep the Farnham coming man,love that your discovering him.

[@julzhunt7790]

John Farnham. Our Aussie legend. The Voice.

[@susanstavrou4232]

Australia's golden boy, what a talent

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

Other good John Farnham songs are: Age Of Reason Burn For You Playing To Win Pressure Down You're The Voice When Something Is Wrong with my Baby (which is a duet with our other powerhouse Aussie legend Jimmy Barnes)

[@malakhhaabaddon1705]

Never get sick of hearing it.

[@virgogreg]

your honesty is so real that's what reactions is about

[@malakhhaabaddon1705]

The young man David playing his harp to soothe king Saul lol.

[@jcee6886]

So many memories from my teen years in this song.

[@missq3989]

Yeah I’m an Aussie and I still get goosebumps Yes he’s really nice and humble , you are correct 😀

[@kennykarlsson6691]

Ohh !!! so you discoverd the holy grail of Singers. Good for you and the rest of the World. This man is freakin amazing. He should have been more notised world wide. One of the best male Singer of all time in my oppinion. You have Only scratch the surface of what he is kapable of. React to John singing when the war is over from a live show called the last time, its from 2003. Amazing live performence.

[@blackletter2591]

I always thought Comic Conversations was one of his best, because it's not an easy song and shows his range and versatility.

[@iceberg5220]

And just when you think John is at his limit, he takes a breath and shows you the next level....then the next!....Ammazing!

[@jaysfarrell]

Absolute classic. So glad that your eardrums found him at long last

[@user-ed8bk6rz9s]

Yes he is a stud muffin! But John has been married to his wife Jill for ?over 40 years and that’s another reason I personally love and respect him. So, a happy marriage, a loving family, and a voice that can sing anything, truly, anything. And he is a lovely humble man. Australia is blessed having him. I’m glad you are enjoying him.🥰💙

[@dongoldney]

John was actually born in Essex. England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so he’s. Your countrymen

[@alisonbroadby2818]

Another one with John to check out is Little River Band - Reminiscing LIVE (with "the voice" John Farnham) He is very young and so charismatic.

[@Ozfreerider2504]

THE voice ……..

[@JAWs313]

1 thing I've always loved about that song is the end of it. Where they make the I strumebts sound like flamingos, ducks etc. ...its such clever writing...!

[@megan2878]

You are exactly accurate when you say JF seems like a nice guy. Fame didn't change him the tiniest bit. He has always been like the guy next door. Everything and everyone, is the same for him. Everyone would like him as a friend, and he treats everyone as if they are his friend. Thank you for this Whispering Jack song.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Love John Farnham, so professional!!

[@feefee88]

You wanna hear something even better try every time you cry by John Farnham ft human nature .... Gold with human nature harmonizing behind John just incredible

[@whiteapple2313]

Try Cool Change with John Farnham and Little River Band (LRB). Beautiful song.

[@clairash2004]

Hells yeah buddy!!! Gotta do Angels live mate. I promise its one of the most beautiful things hes ever done. And yes, he was handsome, had a beautiful voice AND is a magnificent human being. And you're welcome. You're a Pom, which makes you a part of our beautiful country, he is a anomaly, a voice like John's is so rare

[@212mochaman]

To quote sean bean. One does not simply love one john farnham song. You love 3 quarters of the 3 CD's worth of greatest hits. If I could rank them, which I truly can't it would be 1. You're the voice, the unofficial australian national anthem and the main reason why whispering jack was the most sold album in australia for 30 odd years completely obliterating the sales record of back in black (which everyone on the planet should know about by now) 2. Reasons, for its underrated factor 3. Burn for you, angelic, more angelic than this song is 4. Help, my balls still hurt trying to get near it in the shower lol 5. This song And many, many, MANY others

[@4andronicus]

Thanks again!

[@Quantum-Omega]

2 for you to watch is John Farnham live singing Help , and The Other Guy live with the Little River Band.

[@grahamleadbeatter5981]

If you like female vocalists, try Judith Durham of The Seekers. I would recommend that you start with "When the stars begin to fall".

[@scarletc.7055]

I would love to give you a few suggestions for some phenomenal music. The Allman Brothers Band "Whipping Post" Live at the Fillmore East. Santana "Soul Sacrifice". Live at Woodstock. Janis Joplin "Ball and Chain" Live at the Monterey Pop Festival. Thanks.

[@whiteapple2313]

Yes, great humble singer/performer.. He peaked around 1986 to 1994. Not hard to look at either. Well liked by all.

[@HDvids101]

Request same Artist "You're the Voice"

[@juleneyoung5053]

Go back to “ Sadie , the cleaning lady “ fun song I think that’s the song that started for him

[@lesleymeldrum7142]

Yes he's a handsome devil isn't he.

[@janinelyons1091]

Another 2 Song’s Of Johns You Should Listen To Are Comic Conversation & One 2 Of My Favorites I Know You’d LOVE Them Also

[@holdenboy02]

Also try, please don't ask me, a duet with Daniel Gaha that rates over the charts.

[@SilverFoxy207]

[@markwatkins6618]

Never heard of John Farnham until 3 weeks ago? Sorry brother, I can't take you seriously if you've never heard of Farnham or the reputation of his voice.

[@jenniferjacobs228]
