I had the privilege of working with Jon in the early 90’s on a comedy show called, All together now. He was such a legend lived & breathed music. Never too busy to have a chat to anyone on the crew, such a lovely, lovely man.

Jon English, a contemporary of John Farnham, also had that touch of vaudeville clown about him. When rock tours started drying up he found a new home doing Gilbert and Sullivan stage productions, Jesus Christ Superstar and television comedies and dramas. He retained his down to earth personae and the ability to belt out a tune until his untimely death in 2016, aged 66.

[@scattysafari7742]

Old Black Eyes ,as he was called due to his deep set eyes,was such a part of my childhood. Had various hits and became a household name due to the period drama Against the Wind and his performances as the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance. I miss him.

The Captain Jack Sparrow of early Australian rock. Jonathan James English (26 March 1949 - 9 March 2016) was an English-born Australian singer, songwriter, musician and actor. He emigrated from England to Australia with his parents in 1961. He was an early vocalist and rhythm guitarist for Sebastian Hardie but left to take on the role of Judas Iscariot in the Australian version of the stage musical Jesus Christ Superstar from May 1972, which was broadcast on television. English was also a noted solo singer; his Australian top twenty hit singles include "Turn the Page", "Hollywood Seven", "Words are Not Enough", "Six Ribbons" and "Hot Town". Peace out.

Jon was not just a great singer, but a guitarist and song writer too. His song "She was real" is spine tingling. I grew up in Sydney, Australia. I was a school kid in the 70's, and no party was complete without Jon English being played.

[@rorywalsh1985]

[@-jacinta-]

My mum had the BIGGEST CRUSH on Jon English, only rivalled by her (still) crush on John Farnham! Not surprisingly the hauntingly beautiful song, ‘Six Ribbons’ from the Aussie miniseries Against the Wind, which Jon played the lead role in, were amongst my earliest memories as a 4 year old. I’d bet that mum still has the numerous VCR tapes she recorded ATW on so she could rewatch it for decades after. And she/we did. RIP Jon.

[@donnam5891]

I think Jon was our bad boy crush.

[@Ruzgob25]

Also my mum's crush. She was able to see him perform 1 last time before his passing, took a photo with her and gave her a huge hug. He was a good man.

[@chrisofmelbourne87]

Ohhhh another Australia legend. Used to always be on TV. I remember him.

[@chrissneyd9278]

Very talented man. Starred in TV, pop, rock, rock opera and operetta. Thanks for digging up Jon English.

[@FibroKitten]

He was the most amazing everything! Such a genuine lovely bloke, amazing on stage, amazing voice, amazing actor and amazing on the theatre stage. I just loved him. I cried buckets and buckets when he died, even at times like this too, buckets and buckets. RIP John. Forever loved, forever missed.

R.I.P Jon English. Miss you so much ❤❤❤ I have seen Jon Live twice. He was unbelievable!!! Never forgotten this beautiful man! 💙💛💙💛

[@grandy2875]

The first time I saw and heard this man was in 1975, as a 12/13year old school girl, my school choir teacher arranged for us to go to the show Jesus Christ Superstar, I saw him on that stage and fell in love for the first time in my life... I cried buckets when he passed away...we keep losing all the good ones...he was more than just a rock singer, he was so talented...he acted in mini series, tv sitcoms, and guest starred on a lot of aussie tv shows and wrote an amazing rock opera called Trojan...he is very sadly missed...

Great! I have been wondering if Jon English would come around. (Judas in 72 Australian Jesus Christ Superstar). This is a cover he did. My favourite is Hollywood Seven, great song and performance and a oh so 70s film clip! 🤣

[@mssuziquzi]

Jon English was gifted with an amazing raspy voice and a great stage presence. He really rocked it as Judas. He was also funny and very down to earth. Gone far too soon. So good to see him remembered.

First time I saw/heard Jon was in 1975 and I was instantly hooked and became a huge fan. 47 years on and I'm still hooked and still a huge fan, and always will be, Massively talented man, and a joy to behold. RIP Mr English! (loved that you called him that during your reaction to his voice/performance).

[@jonamberlee2948]

I grew up in Australia (proud St. Louisan, now) and was fortunate enough to see Jon English live in various shows and productions about a dozen times over the years... he always had an absolutely incredible stage presence. I just adored him! When I was a child, he was on a TV comedy called "All Together Now" (1991-1993), a sitcom about a failing rockstar and his family. It was actually pretty good iirc. So glad to see that you enjoyed his rendition of Turn the Page! Australia lost a legend when Jon English passed away. ♡Amber

Hollywood Seven is another brilliant one of his if you get around to it.

I loved Jon English right from the start of his career. Always been one of my favourite singers. That voice was something else, & his personality seemed amazing. We miss Jon more than you could ever know. He may not have been born here, but he was ours, & we loved him dearly. You really need to listen to six ribbons.

My very first concert was Russell Morris supporting Jon English at the Palais in St Kilda, Melbourne, Victoria when I was 12. Russell had warmed up the audience with Real Thing, Wings of an Eagle and several other hits, then he handed the stage to Jon and I was blown away. I had seen him the year before in Jesus Christ Superstar where he had backflipped and cartwheeled across the stage during the song Superstar. I had the pleasure of meeting Jon a few times as well as seeing him live in Jesus Christ Superstar and Pirates of Penzance, his TV show All Together Now and in concert. Such a wonderful guy, so kind and a real gentleman. And yes I got his autograph several times. I have his rock opera he wrote called Paris about the fall of Troy both the original and extended and its a prized possession. I cried when I heard he had died. Such a loss. Singer. Songwriter. Actor. All around good bloke. Try Behind Blue Eyes.... electric! Hollywood 7.... awesome! Minutes to Midnight She was Real. Handbags and Gladrags Six Ribbons He was affectionately known as "Ol' Black Eyes" The studio version of this song is a banger.

Hollywood Seven still gives chills every time - one of the saddest tales, told so brilliantly.
