John was honoured to sing with Ray Charles because John never saw himself as a great performer. Many came to Australia and toured with him and he can connect with anyone. I am so Blessed to have John in my lifetime. When I was a girl my first crush was Ray Charles. We didn’t have a TV and I didn’t know how he looked. I did know how he sang to me on the radio and I was taught all people are the same so when I finally saw a picture of him I didn’t even notice he was a different colour. So were all of my friends and that was normal. John probably still doesn’t know just what a legend he is and he deserves to. He is loved by other legends around the world.

I've just being checking out a great 1980 TV clip, John Farnham with Sammy Davis Jnr on the Don Lane Show. Also his duet with Tom Jones on Hey Hey It's Saturday is legendary. Olivia Newton John said the one person she wanted to sing with most was John Farnham. John is very admired by by many international legends. He's incredible.

Did you see where the mic was when he did that first scale up note also? He's just incredible 😍 🤩 Chuffed means extremely honoured and getting the chills also 😂❤

[@AussieDebb]

Love seeing your faces during this. ❤❤ They say he doesn't even need a mic at times - his power is sooo good. Johns backing vocalists did so well too. Thanks guys. ❤❤

[@JaneDoe-se8ku]

John Farnham has sung with the best. In turn those artist were graced by John's world class talent.

[@bernadettelanders7306]

Still fascinates me, how on earth did we, sorta, keep John hidden here in Aus for so many years? I remember Covid hit, we all got on KZbin and the world of music and performers became closer to everyone.

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

There is a whole long list of famous singers who considered it a privilege to sing with John.

[@annettelane]

Chuffed is honored, excited ,delighted etc all at once

[@davidcruse6589]

Many international artists loved working with john Tom jones celine dion and many others It why john can sing any genre's Cheers guys 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@karenstrong8887]

It is because John can sing any genre. Not why and you are right they love him and want to work with him.

[@CyrilBolt]

Im gonna miss hearing his voice singing he cant sing anymore after undergoing Surgery for cancer in the jaw what a legend im gonna miss his soulful voice but it lives on in all his performances done

[@carolynh8866]

Honestly John really doesn't need a microphone. His voice r is so loud and powerful. I remeber one telethon back in the 70's and John's natural voice was louder than the speakers.

[@jobydogwhisperer4163]

John has performed with many great singers. I saw Ray Charles and had never heard of John. Amazing. how long it took for the Aussies to be played here.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Kylie Minogue and Anthony Warlowe were there too. Earlier it was John who went backstage and brought mr Charles out to the piano. This was a casino opening.

[@winsomeblandford1076]

They had so much fun. John tried to keep a low profile

[@AussieDebb]

I meant to tell you the ear pieces they were using were such high quality that they lose their spatial awareness when they close their eyes and the night before in rehearsals John actually just walked off the stage and fell across a chair and was only inches away from breaking his back. He does ride horses and has cattle so he is used to rough riding 😂😂

Nice Fellas, Thank you !

[@G.H.O.S.T.254]

Thousand Yard Stare is Shell Shock, or just really severe Shock in general. You see it in lots of war photo's of people returning. You also see it on people and especially small children that get lost in the wilderness for days on end. They are found with eyes, absurdly wide open from the sheer terror that they endured while lost and not knowing what to do.

[@MargaretGuppy]

That was a brilliant performance. One to listen to (there is no visual) is John singing Led Zeppelin's - Black Dog. We are forever blessed that the sound guy decided to press 'record' before John and his band performed a 'Warm up' song. Epic - IMO better than the original!

[@AussieDebb]

Hi Margaret. Black Dog is waiting to be released from its blocked status ☺️ along with quite a few others. Cheers Debbie

[@MargaretGuppy]

@@AussieDebb Great. Looking forward to the reaction!

[@louiseciur316]

John knows how to hold the Mike if that was right near his mouth it would of blown his ear drums every song that John farnham does you always have to look all the time especially with his Mike and Mike stand cause he always does something to John farnham has also worked with Tom Jones when they sang on hey hey its Saturday that's why everyone in his age group they all sing with him even Jimmy barns with something wrong with my baby check that one out that song was also done live on hey hey it's Saturday

[@AngelaWalters-xr5wx]

Chuffed is slang for HAPPY

[@AussieDebb]

Finally, it's approved 😂🎉

[@TeacherPaulReacts]

😂 yeah, the copyright claim released yesterday, by the way, are you a member on BMC? We reacted to grease there in case you wanted to check that out

[@AussieDebb]

@TeacherPaulReacts yes I saw that - I will do that soon. Thank you 😊

[@AussieDebb]

@@TeacherPaulReacts How's Two Strong Hearts going - the one where I shared my sons story?

[@TeacherPaulReacts]

That one hasn't been blocked but it still has a copyright on it, should be solved by the 24th The full process can take up to 1 month and 1 week, I prefer to get that process out of the way before making the video public because a few times I've made a video public only to have to take it down afterwards 😔

[@AussieDebb]

@@TeacherPaulReacts Ok understood. Thank you. 😊

[@carolynh8866]

You could start a podcast about how you two hot to know each other from across the other side of the world. Maybe you've already said it on your channel ....today was the first time I found out you've been freinds for 15 years. Tell us the story

[@TeacherPaulReacts]

We haven't talked much about it, lol, we didn't think people would want to hear it, rather than just seeing the reaction, 😂

[@AussieDebb]

Great idea Carolyn 💡 👍

[@AussieDebb]

@@TeacherPaulReacts We would love to hear your story Paul and Fellipe. You've heard some of mine. 😍

[@carolynh8866]

@@TeacherPaulReacts the artists you react is how we came to find you but it's your personalities and the interactions between the 2 of you that makes us want to stay. It's interesting for us to find out more about who we are watching, and what led you to creating your channel. Hope that makes sense.
