Damn, taking me back to my heyday. He was a bit of a heartthrob at the time :)

[@AmandaHallPsychic]

Jack is like a son to John Farnham and toured with him many years ago. He is a great singer we don't hear enough of him

[@redoz9768]

He should be a much bigger star than he is. Another super talented Australian singer that the rest of the world has never heard of.

[@dedriesmith7789]

Totally agree with you ,i just love Jack i have southern sons allbums ,and alway thought he was so similar to john, i just wish he was bigger ,he was so good ,still is .

[@mollyd6508]

Yes Jack Jones sounds so much like our mate John Farnham infact about 30 years ago a group of Oz comedians called D Generation did a sketch/song called "5 in a row" and Jack did the voice for John.

[@debbie6710]

I love love love this song 🎵

[@mariagalanis6476]

John Farnham’s performed this many times too 🎶🎶👏👏

[@joselecaros6379]

I was early into my college when I first heard the song. I was captivated right there and then. It's just unbelievable how I am more into it four decades after.

[@steve--smith]

Once I ran a big band clinic in Gippsland in country Australia around 1986 and guess who the Jazz guitarist was? This guy. And he asked for any tips. And I said what he was doing on guitar was superb. Because it was. And he is meticulous on guitar and gifted with his voice. Pure talent. And a heck of a gentleman aside from that.

[@Rosannasfriend]

I was actually more impressed by the tonal quality he maintained during than long though than the length itself. What an amazing singer.

[@CaptainsChannel58]

Agreed, I can't think of anyone on earth who sounds as close to John's vocals as him

[@leannemayor5755]

When this came I out I would have stand up arguments that this was John Farnham exactly like you said that quiver wave in his voice . He worked with John for so long maybe he picked up a few tricks . Love jack”Erwin”

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

You can definitely hear similar tonal qualities that sound like John.

[@leannemayor5755]

@@kennethdodemaide8678 you can see in early videos that John really loved jack as well . Imagine getting your big break with John as a mentor . Totally wonderful .

[@ThelSuperlKing]

John Farnham light and I don't say that in a mean way....John Farnham anything is a complement to any singer. Even John Farnham's sidekick. LOL

[@OlakalO]

Haha quiver… but seriously yeah, so good wow

[@leannemayor5755]

[@peace_be_with_you_in_all_ways]

Jack Jones ...some of his songs still brings a tear to my eyes ...Guess i am still an old school romantic

[@craigalden9416]

Let’s just say from the outset, that I was never a follower of Southern Sons ….BUT… a few years ago I saw Jack/ Irwin in Concert…. And just sitting there, Listening you really appreciate what a singer and a Talent he is….. It was a wonderful night out ….someone that is under appreciated in this country…. And should be more widely acclaimed… Yes …. Close your eyes and parts of his voice are truly Farnham… I think he would welcome the compliment.

[@christinesmart5671]

Irwin’s vocals are truly amazing!! I was at his gig last Friday night, and he sang this song, amongst many others, and I am still in awe of what an extraordinary artist he is!! 🙌😮

[@abclin]

Such a great artist loved southern suns!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

Just beautiful. So underrated. Such great voice control.

[@carbine5378]

Jack Jones’ voice was often commented on about how it was similar to John’s.

[@nancysmith6053]

Irwin was in John Farnham's band playing guitar - he can be seen in John's performance of Reasons that you've reacted to. He's the guitarist with really long hair in that video.

[@jenniferharrison8915]

He can lullaby me anytime! ❤️😌

[@turdburgler8789]

One of my favourite Aussie artist Great channel my friend I get the same feeling when I listen to this

[@leeannewilson5557]

There were times us Aussies couldn't even tell him from John then Jack joined John band he was John prodigy we do have some amazing Talent Colleen Hewett absolutely was up there

[@BryanParnell]

I stumbled upon that clip only a few days ago and commented that it should have millions of views. I watched it about 5 times in a row and another few times yesterday. I was going to send a PayPal request but got beaten to it. He has an amazing voice and should be a massive international star.

[@teresakym2672]

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but watch the D Generation's comedy song 'Five In A Row', where they parody some famous Aussie singers (Kylie and Jimmy Barnes). John Farnham is the first one in the clip and Jack Jones, although he doesn't appear in the clip is singing the Farnham part.I think that is one of the first times we heard him sing. Then Southern Sons became famous and the rest is history 🙂

[@SNDreamerMusicNMore]

Jack/Irwin is an absolute legend ♥

[@peace_be_with_you_in_all_ways]

He also did the theme song for beauty and the beast ...If you can PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do that one as well .... many years ago he told me that on the original sound track / music video her teared up and cried... GOD BLESS THE MAN truly an Angel

[@paulmayer5031]

Saw him last Friday and the while performance was just flawless...what an amazing talent

[@mssuziquzi]

Of course he must have been influenced by JF. He played in his band and sang back up. He also has a very similar range. Jack/Irwin is still singing great as ever.

[@robertshields7192]

Awesome Tone & Delivery in his Performance ! Definitely in the F🔥 Category for Me 👍🏻 ✌🤜🏼🤛🏾

[@deborhaseeley6642]

Absolutely stunning ❤ brings back beautiful memories for me. 😊👊 thank you ❤

[@narellesmith7932]

This is a great Southern Sons / Jack Jones song alright 😊

[@carolynh8866]

Love this song. Yes there are some similarities. He has a much softer tender voice and uses his falsetto more than John. I think he sounded more like John when he was younger and was in Johns band.

[@theghost6412]

They didn't call him Farnham's Love Child for nothing

[@soniadoidge2976]

Beautiful

[@susanstavrou4232]

Wow

[@jasonandbelindajordan5044]

Appreciate your appreciation of our fantastic talent we have here in Australia, we love these guys and love your reactions, thankyou👍

[@helenpinchen4712]

Beautiful writing, beautiful interpretation and delivery. I can hear similarities to JF but there is is a different quality to JJ/IW’s voice, a sweetness, when he delivers like this.

[@JouJouOuiOui]

He wrote this for his then wife Rebecca Gibney when they first married. It’s beautiful 😻

[@andoletube]

I find it kind of irritating when people say "he sounds like John Farnham". I think that is only the case when people haven't spent enough time listening to him. I've listened to him a lot over the years - to the point where he sounds distinctly different to John Farnham, and I have to really concentrate to find similarities between them. I think it does both of them a disservice to keep comparing them.

[@user-ow9jl1ce5v]

Hey Bro Just wanna say enjoy you and your channel.Love your genuine honesty and respect for all artists. Always respect and consider your thoughts,ideas and interpretations of the dongs you play/ RESPECT. How do I know you know your shit. I'm an Aussie as nd always thought John etc were always not heard. Thanks to you now they are. Love ya bro from AUSTRALIA

[@fransmith3255]

It was 22 seconds, according to KZbin.

[@susanstavrou4232]

We always said he sounds like john

[@vincentcacciola7161]

The Sahn , by the living end

[@FionaEm]

Wow. I didn't much like Southern Sons when they were big but this vocal is exceptional 👏 I don't completely agree that Jack/Irwin's voice is like Farnham's though. They're similar in pitch but Jack's voice is lighter whereas Farnham's is richer.

[@ThelSuperlKing]

Yes and hence I dub him "John Farnham light" not said in a derogatory way....but rather it is a complement.......John Farnham anything is a complement to any singer. lol

[@redbitter1232]

Gday I’m an Aussie. Please can you react to the original music video to R.I.P MILLIE. It is about his mother who died of cancer. I have seen a live performance of him doing this song and he broke down. Please mate. You will love it

[@tania6145]

🙌 yes this would be awesome

[@iancremmins4727]

you didnt have to count the seconds dude, the video literally has a timer, and i agree with you he does sound like John on occasion and has right from the beginning of his career, playing with John would have been the cause of that

[@aaroneubanks2580]

Comment number 2 of asking for LiSa-gurenge first take reaction

[@leannec9669]

I think jack jones, would have been a bigger star, if he wasn’t so similar to John Farnham. I love him because he does have a wonderful voice.

[@triciamoller1472]

He was guitarist for John Farnham you would prob not recognise him he had hair almost waist length

[@heathermuzquiz1486]

react to Miami boys choir yerushalayim 🔥🔥🔥

Want another ozzy singer? Check out Andy golledge Light it to the wind. Sofala live is the best
