BothTom Jones and Celine Dion were so awed by John Farnham's vocal talents that they tried to persuade him to move to the U.S. to further his career.John decided against it, not wanting to uproot his family.He also stopped most of his touring abroad because he and his wife missed each other too much when apart. He even wrote a song about what it was like missing her so. I think it's called "Burn For You." So Australia got to keep John, which is why most of the rest of the world has missed out on hearing his amazing voice for all these years.

[@emilymcpaul4204]

If memory serves me Burn For You was a Phil Buckle penned track.

[@lynettecollyer4676]

Richard Marks thinks he the best the best singer he has ever heard ,and are great mates along with Tom,Celine,and many more stars.

[@EmZ2601]

He is a National treasure ❤ what an amazing man

[@sunshyne8539]

So glad John stayed put👌🏼

[@susanstavrou4232]

Look how Tom looks at John in amazement!!!!

[@56music64]

people say about this performance and rightly so that John was a tiny bit in awe of Tom and his magnificent voice, but when John is singing that high and long note, look at Tom's eyes, he is so impressed that, he is mentally preparing for his next turn, he doesn't want to stuff up either. I think there was equal respect going on here.

[@karenhp2922]

John Farnham sings (ACDC - it's a long way to the top) at his shows. For decades. Best voice ever

[@queenslanddiva]

Every word in John's mouth is a jewel to be treasured and not treated with disrespect.

[@cinemaipswich4636]

When I see Tom Jones give that sideways look of appreciation, I know that he knows, that John Farnham is right up there with him.

[@amishgirl1000]

Tom Jones said that John Farnham’s voice was the best he had ever heard.

[@dognz6235]

John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes have been making national athems for the southen part of the world for years...we know them all...love them all...hope you enjoy as we have

[@TattooedAussieChick]

The compère with John and Tom, his name is Bert Newton and he is Aussie TV royalty. He died a few weeks ago. So sad a legend is gone.

[@simongoss4232]

I'm a 46 yr old aussie, my first cassette was the wishpering jack album. I dropped it in a creek and after the only song that worked was your the voice. Decades later it's so inspiring that one of the greatest singers in the world is still amazing people around the world. On a personal note I love your admiration for Johnny. Watching your reactions brings a tear to my eyes watching g how much you enjoy an Aussie artist. I know this is an old post but hopefully you see it. I've seen Johnny live lots of times but one of the best was seeing him in the stage production of "Jesus Christ superstar" with another great Aussie Kate Cebrano. I hope you enjoy.

[@lockyer114]

Amazing voice, and all round great bloke. A friend of mine is a roadie and years ago was working on a John Farnham show. He and a few other blokes were packing up some equipment afterwards, when a manager came out and asked them if they'd like some dinner. They said yes and expected to be handed a meat pie and a can of coke. Nope.. they were escorted to a room where they were sat at a table with a delicious cooked meal. Next minute, John Farnham walks in and sits at the table to join them for dinner and a chat ❤

[@margenn3889]

How wonderful

[@allymayful]

That’s respect at its best. Valuing the whole team. Just as it should be. Love it.

[@Tommass79]

Great story✌️🇦🇺

[@LM-369]

Love this 😊

[@seonaelizabethcoster8465]

My uncle helped record one of his concerts in the 80s(?) 90s(?), whichever, and said the same thing. He's a genuinely nice guy, happy to laugh at himself as much as the next bloke

[@ironside210]

Two VOICES! No studio, no manipulation, no overbearing backing.

[@leandabee]

John is so humble and self deprecating about his own talent. He was fan boying that night🤣. If you noticed, Tom gave John a huge impressed look of approval. Loved your unscripted bit 👏👏💕

[@sometimeslyrical]

John is awesome! A natural. Tom has a unique gift, too. And both delight in bringing their best out for people to enjoy. Not in trying to out-sing anyone.

[@PixieMegan]

John Farnham has the best sense of humour, is so humble and a complete gentleman ❤

[@moonshaddow55]

The best part of this performance was that it was completely ad lib. And the audience in the second appearance, were all their piers.

[@elizabethscott7660]

Apparently Tom Jones said that John's voice was the best and purest in the world

[@starlightshimmery]

Yes, I remember Mum telling me years ago how Tom said that. Both of them are so incredible.

[@danschiavello]

Freddie Mercury said the same thing. Called John the best singer on the planet.

[@kathydurow6814]

I remember Sammy Davis Jnr saying the same on a variety show in Oz ( the Don Lane Show, for those who remember)

[@li22ietopper26]

Barry Gibb said that John had "arguably the best voice on the planet"

[@deanbrowning7249]

I remember watching it, he had a cracked rib from a horse incident in this.

[@swingsloth]

I still struggle to believe that there's people out in this world who don't know the full AC/DC back catalogue

[@rottymum9898]

Sad isn’t it.

[@sometimeslyrical]

Tom has both experience and capability in multiple genres. It's weird of you to think that someone -- like Tom, or John, or any artist -- who doesn't stay exclusively within one genre isn't allowed to come to the party and rock out.

[@hardy9429]

its a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll

[@suzeprimrose-7466]

😂, theres always one. @Hardy

[@mitchelllewis1079]

I struggle to believe that people actually like AC/DC.

[@karlenemacdonald6549]

That side glance of admiration from Tom Jones for John....is priceless.....one great voice appreciating another.....

[@macisback9059]

Yep thats my fav part, that look says it all.. Aside from the singing of course.. And yes John was "fan boying" for sure haha.. Who wouldn't its Tom Jones..

[@LummyLumz]

It’s always been my favorite part of that video and is the main reason I always come back to watch it.

[@cgkennedy]

ACDC's song. Alternative title is "It's a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll".

[@deanwoodward4024]

Tom's like wtf !!!

[@shazzm9252]

You know what else was a blast watching this? Was how many gold and silver logie winners in the audience just having a blast. Ahhh, the memories!

[@stuartmartin2513]

What makes this even more amazing is it's done through studio mikes at the host's desk, the show was very off-the-cuff!

[@1mmickk]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="310">5:10</a> that is a look from one of the Worlds finest singers of all time to Australias finest singer of all time. Tom Jones is and always has been all Class.

[@chrmnlp4413]

I went to the John Farnham / Tom Jones concert in Brisbane. It was brilliant. This was also an AC/DC song - It's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll. Another Australian band.

[@BELTED007]

Me too Fantastic. Best concert

[@56Jagman]

I remember watching Hey Hey It's Saturday essentially as a weekly ritual, and I remember watching Tom & John on the night that this episode aired and being particularly impressed by how John was able to perform despite his nervousness of being right beside one of his absolute idols.

[@diannebernau3293]

Me too

[@jgsheehan8810]

This is about the only time I remember seeing John overawed by another singer. I remember seeing this on TV when it was broadcast. A Long Way to the Top is a much loved Aussie rock n roll song by the legendary AC/DC. Yes, they had bagpipes in the original.

[@JoSedunary]

Only one other time I saw it was when he played with Stevie Wonder - awesome concert !

[@sometimeslyrical]

I think John was just kidding around... that's his nature. Not to say he didn't admire Tom's vocal capabilities. Both were awed by each other and shared a great respect and friendship.

[@leandabee]

I remember when he sang with Celine Dion, he was blown away by that as well 🤗

[@JoSedunary]

@@leandabee True that - I had forgotten about that one ! I think he also got a bit nervous when he sang with Ray Charles... he really has never believed how good he is...

[@leandabee]

[@jacobstofmeel3619]

Damn this hit hard. The host of the award show, Bert Newton, just passed away last week at 83yrs young. I'm Australia he was known as the king of Aussie television. He was one of the very first on our TV screens when TV was introduced to Australia in the 1956. He was like a father of Australia and like Steve Irwin, was a national icon.

[@Timtams61]

So to burst your buble but Bert was also a massive pedo. National disgrace.

[@penein]

You don’t know who the guy is that introduced John & Tom he’s Australia’s-most wonderful host BERT NEWTON who started in TV for over 70 years. We lost him at 83 Saturday night the 30/10/21. He was our Bert a wonderful human being.

[@Jus7aguy]

Yeah song is "It's a long way to the top (If you wanna rock and roll)" The presenter is Burt Newton an Icon of Australian TV. He unfortunately passed away just last week. The Logies is the Australian TV awards.

[@alexandriagarnar6056]

Hey hey it's Saturday was a TV show on Saturday night that most Aussie family tuned into. It was an incredibly funny show that had lots of talent appearing on it. Daryl summers was the host next to Tom and Molly meldrum next to John. Molly is the reason we have such a huge Australian music industry. John is just incredible. Aussie royalty 🇦🇺🪃

[@RolandDeschain1]

Molly was definitely a figure of fun on that show, and got the piss taken out of him mercilessly. But he is an incredibly important figure, not just in Australian music but around the world. He was hugely influential in giving early exposure to artists like ABBA, Madonna, Prince and even Michael Jackson when he went solo. Molly saw Madonna playing a crappy club in New York on the early 80s and invited her to come to Australia and be on COUNTDOWN. And he was calling Prince a genius from day one. So he was one of the very few people who could actually get an interview with Prince or Madonna. And that was partly because Molly only ever cared about the MUSIC. He didn't ask about personal stuff.

[@vickigreen9545]

Yep we love Molly and John and most of the guests, but Hey Hey It’s Saturday was horrible and hasn’t dated well at all

[@RolandDeschain1]

@@vickigreen9545 It's certainly the product of a bygone era. They tried to bring it back a few years ago and it just bombed.

[@mssuziquzi]

@@vickigreen9545 It was so horrible that everybody watched it on Saturday night and it went for 28 years.🤪 The thing is you don’t try and bring these things back. It never works.

Please reward yourself with John Farnham doing Long Way to the Top with the MSO Melbourne Symphony Orchestra!

[@patriciaconnolly6098]

Two of the best male vocalists in the World!! Tom and John AMAZING!!

[@angelajudd8388]

how wonderful it was for John to get a smile from Tom

[@fionafrazer8820]

Can't believe this is the first time you're hearing a younger Tom Jones. The restraint in his voice as he sings this old Yiddish song, is brilliant.

[@kellymacdonald9618]

I actually remember when this happened, on a good Aussie show called 'Hey, hey, it's Saturday!' (Iconic). John was soooo in awe of Tom Jones. Such a beautiful duet.

[@harysmith1024]

Look how far away John holds his mic from his mouth, that's how powerful he is!

[@kevinroberts2395]

As an Aussie, OUR John can sing anything. He is a legend over here in Australia.

[@joe7530]

Old school music. When the idea was to impress the auduence by engaging with them. Not At them. Like they do now. Pure Class. I need more too!

Tom Jones and John Farnham singing AC/DC!!! Doesn't get better than that!

[@susanstavrou4232]

Look how tom glanced at john on that high note!!!!!!!

[@helnbak9372]

Always get goosebumps on my goosebumps watching this.

[@michaelkeogh7722]

John Farnham's voice is so powerful, he doesn't need amps or a PA. He only has the mic so he can wow the crowd by throwing it around. If you watch enough videos of John, you'll see his mic juggling tricks.

[@barryschwarz]

My dear friend Tim worked on 'The Games' comedy with John Clark. He was the receptionist/gofer, and did a bit with John Farnham where he taught Tim tricks with the mic. Tim told me that John was nervous as hell doing an acting bit for TV, and was a completely lovely guy. Tim's a great actor who can sing and loved working with John for this wee bit.

[@michaelkeogh7722]

@@barryschwarz I was thinking of exactly that scene as I wrote the comment. I loved “The Games.” Give Tim my best wishes.

[@barryschwarz]

@@michaelkeogh7722 Haha, sure. I'll be calling him in the next few days and I'll tell him someone on youtube sends greetings.

[@mssuziquzi]

I noticed that John had his mic much further back than Tom Jones. Tom held the mic up close while John had his further back and was doing a few tricks with it.😁

[@DOTTYTIME]

It breaks my heart to think we will never hear John sing again after his illness

[@carolinehaf21]

"It's a long way to the top of what... your range???" 😂🤣 Love you so much, your love for our icons means the world!

[@johnneeder9634]

They toured together in the 90's as a duo in concert and they were very well received. I have always wanted to get a copy of these shows.

[@artistjoh]

Wonderful seeing Tom Jones singing this great Australian song, Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock n Roll. If you didn't know, that was the song that launched AC/DC onto the world stage.

[@popeye807]

John Farnham absolutely idolised Tom Jones that's why he stuffed up when he started singing

[@cassbianca]

when the best instruments in the room are the voices

[@robanks3895]

Great reaction, I have never heard of John Farnham, he has a great voice, and Welshman tom too!

[@taniaPBear]

My favourite thing about John is that he is such a great human. He's a proper gentleman and a larrikin, all at the same time, he's humble and down to earth. He could have been a global superstar, but he chose to stay close to his family.

[@belindamunro5654]

got to love tom and john singing ac/dc

[@ozzihaka]

The smile of approval from Tom Jones says it all for Johns vocal abilities... simply perfect

[@DMKRP]

As an extra bit of info... nothing happened on Saturday night in Australia in the 80s, cause everyone was sitting at home, watching Hey, Hey, It's Saturday!

[@susanstavrou4232]

I'm glad they did this together Tom now knows John can sing

[@Bbouy1HD]

John's a great counter tenor. In some of his earlier stuff in the 60's 70's you could hear how pure and light his voice was, in the later years he substituted for more power and growl but yeah his range is pretty unlimited upwards not downwards haha.

[@v.b6028]

Wow! I find it amazing that you see this as Tom Jones as younger here & to me he is older..but you’re right; Tom Jones had great pipes at any stage of his life. Him & John sound awesome together

[@susanstavrou4232]

Yes I noticed that glance, so proud he did that

[@andrewmaclean10]

I love how far John holds his microphone away. I love both of these men. I still have trouble picturing Tom at 16 getting married to his wife at 15. Which of their parents thought that was a good idea? John and Tom became great friends. They did an Australian concert tour that I would love a copy of one of those concerts. There is a longer version of My Yiddishae Momme of them together and I love it. Neither of them were going to sing on Hey Hey, they were put on the spot because John used to walk around singing that song. They are both truly nice men. Tom just released a new album and he is now 83.

Unfortunately, the Host of that and many Logie awards Bert Newton, passed away a couple of days ago. He was 83 and only a few months ago had his leg amputated and couldn't repel the infection. He was a great entertainer in many shows one being part of the Don Lane show. I used to laugh so hard when he was on that show and with Graham Kennedy. Rest In Peace Bert.

[@diannebernau3293]

I agree with you. Tom Jones and his band first, then John, then the both of them together. It was a case of anything Tom could do, John did better. It was like 3 concerts in one and a real privilege to be there to witness it.

This was one of Australia’s most moving, momentous times on our TV. It came on completely unannounced, on a show that the great majority of Australia watched on a Saturday night.

They are two of the greats. The song is an AC/DC song. Sang by the original singer bon Scot. He is a legend in rock in roll.

[@tinafranklin1585]

[@WylieKiote]

Hahahaha you crack me up with your reactions to Johns videos. I love how much you appreciate just how much he can do vocally. His voice is his instrument & he knows it so well he can do anything with it. The reason you never know where he's going to take it is because he feels what he sings & he sings how he feels. He is off the planet crazy talented. The song is an early AC/DC hit "Long Way To The Top If You Wanna Rock n Roll".
