One rule if you ever react to anything John Farnham. Always the "live" version. John is an entertainer, and if you watch his live performances, you'll understand why he connects with his audiences. (especially if it's with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra)

Heartily seconded.👍👍👍

[@Jus7aguy]

Some of his concerts (I think the One he did at Expo in 88 for Example?) They do the Beatles version first, then back it right up into his slower more soulful version. The juxtaposition really drives it home.

[@Jojomac-ix7oi]

​@Jus7aguy maybe that one, but definitely the Chain Reaction concert he did both versions...

[@carolynh8866]

John is a legend in Australia. Most of his songs have great messages of unity, solidarity and fighting for the underdog. He is known as the Voice in Aus. Not just because his voice is instantly recognisable, but he has a powerful, pitch perfect voice with a huge range. He is an absolute icon here and is THE most.loved entertainer in Aussie history. He started with a number one hit as a teenager in 1967 which was the biggest hit ofnthe 60's decade...and he has has number one hits in every decade since then. Not just a musician and singer but also a bit of a commedian, an actor, mentor to other artists, humanitarian, philanthropist yet still just as humble as your average boy next door Ps. John Farnham alsk does the est ever cover of ACDC's It's a Long Way to the Top Pps. John is British Born Australian. He has also received the highest honours of Australian of the Year and also athe Order Of Australia medal...on top of decades of music industry awards and a chart busting award winning documentary about his life recently released.

I am so thrilled that you are jumping down the “Farnsy” rabbit hole. John is an Australian legend and we adore him. He has been in the business since the late 1960’s. Always best to see his live performances. “Help”, “A touch of Paradise”, “Angels”, to name a few. I saw him in concert in 2019, John was 70 and still as powerful as ever and hitting those high notes.

He has a terrific sense of humor. He could have been a comedian. 😂❤😂 His backup singers and most of his band has been with him for 20 plus years.

[@AnnieD.1982]

Thank you for reacting to the amazing John Farnham ❤️ He is Australian music royalty and this song is like a second national anthem to us. So special - as you will no doubt be seeing by all the comments John is very well respected and loved 😊 This song will never age. If you play it Aussies will be there!! Farnsey (as we call him, though he is known simply as The Voice also) is definitely no one hit wonder with over 50 years in the industry he is an absolute icon. Thanks for the beautiful reaction.

Always react to Aussie singers live. John has such a huge back catalogue. In Days to Come is another banger. As others have said, John's cover of the Beatles song Help - live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a must listen to. Also "When something is wrong with my baby" with our other 🐐- Jimmy Barnes ❤ John also does Led Zeppelin's Black Dog as a mic check 🔥.

'When the war is over' from his 'Last Time' concert. Best live performance of his I've ever seen!!!

[@magpiegirl3783]

Agree.

[@kane29842]

The bagpipes are in this song because John is a massive, massive fan of AC/DC, and he covers 'Long Way To The Top'. In fact, in at least one live performance of this song, the bagpipes enter with the AC/DC solo before breaking into this solo. Rambo is Brett Garsed, played with John for a long, long time.

John Farnham … power singer from Australia, been singing to us since the lte 60s and on,y just stopped as he battled mouth cancer and has come through it. This song was John’s return from the musical wilderness … became his first hit in a while and was the forerunner to his explosion back onto the scene through the 80s to 2000s with hit after hit, magnificent concert after magnificent concert. Every Aussie knows this song. John was nicknamed “the voice” after this song. Legend, icon and damned nice man.

[@Oldbutnotout65]

John Farnham (pronounced with the "H" silent... Far..nam) was born in England and immigrated to Australia with his family at 10yrs of age. John is Music Royality, an ICON in the Australian Music Industry, he has been impressing us with his talent for over 50 years. This song was released on 29 September 1986 as the hit single from the Whispering Jack Album, (which held the No. 1 position on the Australian Chart for a total of 25 weeks), "You're the Voice" went to No. 1 and has become an unofficial National Anthem. The song was written by English writers after missing a Nuclear Disarmament Protest in London in 1985. Here a "Live" version, as you will find out, with John it has to be "Live" kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ6VnpJvis6dqdE John Farnham started in 1967 and was still performing into his 70s until Covid shut the country down. He won "King of Pop" 5 consecutive years 69 -73, then faded a bit in the late 70s (due to poor management). John is the only Australian artist to have a number-one record (album or single) in five consecutive decades. . He has received the admiration of many international artists, such as Richard Marx, Celine Dion, Robbie Williams, Tom Jones, Freddie Mercury. Brian May, Sammy Davis Jnr, Ray Charles, just to name a few. I should warn you if you start reacting to John, the Aussie Army will flood your channel. LOL if you decide to go exploring, make sure you only watch "Live" performances, he loves his fans and millions of us love him back and always keep an eye out for his "Ninja" style Mic & Stand tricks. John is one of the most versatile vocalists you can find, he can sing just about any genre. He replaced Glen Sherrock as frontman for LRB for a time in the early eighties. They put out a doco last year called "John Farnham - Finding The Voice" which broke the box office ("The Voice" is what he is affectionately known as here), he can sing anything and make it sound great, here's the trailer...kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqDGdJmZarV-qKc The next performance you should watch is one of the encores at the end of a 2+ hour concert 1989. a John Lennon number "Help", but John F's version (JL heard it before he passed and said that was the way the song was meant to sound)... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqeYZZqfhLiFgdU Anything from that "Classic Jack Live" with MSO concert is "gold".

[@DirkGently1972]

Never realised John Farnham, as with Olivia Newton John (until after her passing), were both born in the United Kingdom then emigrated to Australia.

Brilliant post, I’m so glad you’re here because you saved me from having to write something very similar. The band, Heart also covered You’re The Voice, having performed it in their shows for a long time. SO many artists are Farnsy Fans, probably because of his beautiful soul and personality as much as for his awesome voice. 💜👍🏼🇦🇺

[@flamestergirl]

John started his career in the late 60's as a teenager in Melbourne, Australia. Many other international artists have said that John is one of the best vocalists in the world. He did for a short time venture into the waters of America but he is huge on family and decided to forgo fame and fortune and put his family first. He is a beautiful person, very humble has performed with many of the greats around the world. He is Australia's golden son and we love him dearly. John was still performing up until a few years ago ( roughly 72 years of age and still killing the vocals) then was diagnosed with mouth cancer has made a recovery but hasn't sang again.

[@rubyslippers8215]

Really you need to hear him live no auto tune just his voice

[@j9andphoenix]

John Farnham hit all the notes all the time - saw him so many times in Sydney Australia and he is so vocally gifted and just a really nice, warm and ind soul. He did a short time after Glenn Shorrock left The Little River Band and the song with them you should listen to is 'Playing to Win'. This song unfortnately doesn't date because there are so many wars and conflicts in our world. He is a genuine lovely person and it is so sad a lifetime of smoking is probably the cause of the cancer in his jaw, such that he had to have part of his jaw removed and a prosthesis fitted. He may not sing again but he is a 'bloke' so he may well surprise us allHe is truly a blessing.

Ya gotta react to anything he does live! He’s even better live. I especially like his cover of the Beatles song Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

[@clarissarwilliams_]

Fun Fact - our amazing John never warms up before any concert, he just goes out and opens up those phenomenal pipes. Even at 69 years of age, he was still belting out those tunes close to perfect as when he was half his age. Note: This fun fact was shared direct from his own son Robert in a podcast interview recently, and though I have grown up with him being as much a part of Australia as anything else from birth, I never knew this til about a week ago. He is one of the best vocalists in the world, period. He can sing anything....seriously. From Led Zepelin's Black Dog to Jesus Christ Superstar and everything in between. Its a deep rabbit hole you have just entered into. So many great recommendations below so, have fun :)

He holds a record for having a number one hit in five consecutive decades. From his classic first Hit Sadie the cleaning lady to his reimagining of the Beatle Help as a Ballard (cliché but the version from his concert with the Melbourne symphony orchestra the best). He has done pop, rock blues the only thing he hasn't done is heavy metal. Sadly he has suffered a major health problem with cancer of the mouth requiring surgery which his family says he is recovering from slowly

[@waynedavenport6053]

John is GOAT as far as Australia is concerned, we have been fortunate in Australia to have bands and artists that are more than equal to what was in the rest of the world, and if you care to dive down the rabbit hole you will be more than pleasantly surprised. and to answer your question, yes he could hit those notes live, just watch some of his KZbin concert video's

[@ozrugs]

Yes, John Farnham is music royalty. He grew up in Melbourne in Australia which has a large Scottish heritage - possibly which helped with the bagpipes influence as was for ACDC you commented on. You really need to review some "Cold Chisel" with lead singer Jimmy Barnes who was born in Scotland and also immigrated to Australia at a young age. An amazing voice and Australian rock icon.

[@solarluftheizung]

Simply brilliant, music of my youth. John Peter Farnham, AO is an Australian singer and has been one of the most famous and successful musicians in his home country for decades. Farnham also had a number one hit in several European countries in 1987 with the song You're the Voice.

[@Buzz2cats]

John Farnham Australia's King of Pop Five years in a row 1969 to 1973.

[@shanegooding4839]

Probably worth mentioning that John Farnham was in major financial difficulties and had sold his house and car to keep the debt collectors off his back when he recorded this in the basement of the place he was renting. He also couldn't get a major label to take a risk on him and sign for the song which had to be released on his manager's independent label. The song went on to be hugely popular and the album on which it appears is the highest selling album by any Australian in Australia.
