I was 13yrs old when I first saw him when he toured in New Zealand 1978. I was so shy to even shake his HUGE hand but I got the BIGGEST smile from him at the end of the day and never saw him again. R.I.P Jon.

Yes , liked him so much - he spent a bit of time over here in N.Z.very talented Actor and of course singer.R.I.P. Jon. :)

[@Benjamin1Rothchild]

His hands look normal to me, not that HUGE. The video doesn't lie, do you, @repetanorton3174? T 😌🌤️

[@curramore123]

I watched Jon play Judas at the capitol theatre in sydney when I was 8 years old, must have been about 1972. I used to play the whole JCS album every day at home during my simple life of 1970's Pendle Hill, a suburb of Sydney. I fell in love with the whole play. I begged my parents to take me back to see it again, they got more tickets and I saw him the next night..with marcia hines, trevor white and so much more talent.. I knew the whole album word for word. I even tried to grow my hair like Jon. Then years later - in about 2015 I had a small pub and managed to book Jon as a featured artist. We got a new digital PA system, I got my son to mix as he was turning into an impressive musician himself and knew way more than me about sound. Turned out the sound desk was faulty. There was so much feedback and we just couldn't get it right.. my son was trying so hard but was so distressed. BUT! Jon English was the perfect gentleman! He wore the sound issues! told the crowd not to blame the sound guys and that they were working hard! At the end of the gig he sat quietly at a table after the crowd had gone. I wanted to tell him how much I adored him but my son was so stressed from the experience that we slipped away embarrassed that we'd let this great guy down. He died not long after. I so much regret not telling Jon what he meant to me.

[@fionamckinnon1167]

I’m so glad my parents took me when I was 8 years old in Wellington to see him in jesus christ superstar love his voice sorry he has left so soon x

[@cherelle1952]

Love your music so much Jon, I heard this song for the first time in 1979 on a jukebox in a pub. R.I.P. Jon. Thanks for the memories.

[@joemontuoro4480]

One of my all time favorite songs, I can here this song by Jon English a million times and still love it

[@henrikrdstherchristie9553]

In the early 80's I lived in Bergen, Norway. This was around the time Norwegian TV showed "Against the Wind". My brother and I convinced our mother to take us to see John English in concert, in the famous Grieghallen, the venue of the 1986 Eurovision Song Contest. This was my favourite song of his.

[@DesireeFox-tf7qz]

This song reminds me of high school girl love crushes! Love it RIP Jon English❤

[@soccerrobbo1960]

From a Kiwi, Roll 'n Roll Heaven has just added a real beaut. As a teenager, one of the first 45's I ever bought was Words Are Not Enough! Loved that song! R.I.P, John

Not just a super talented recording artist, brilliant on stage as well. Saw him perform in Pirates of Penzance and went back more than once because he was great and flaming hilarious as well.

[@debbiebrown8473]

Omg still love this song what a classic ❤thanks Jon ❤

[@MagicThys]

miss youy Jon, may we share your music forever

[@j9andphoenix]

I have spent the last 24 hours watching clips and looking through my JCS autographed programmes - and a few tears - think it was when I first saw Jon I realised I really did quite like men - you were a big part of my youth and I will always adore your voice and Tim Rice was right in saying recently to Glenn A Baker you were probably the BEST JUDAS cast. Actually think the whole Australian Cast was the best. Thank you for everything. Now if the person I lent Wine Dark Sea Album to would just return it. Bless you Jon

[@zivko7]

oh man,an amazing song, what a voice, talent and performer, love Jon English, thanks for posting.
