They want John back because he was an interim front man for LRB. On a personal note and coming from someone who can't sing one, I enjoy seeing your admiration for other peoples talent and appreciate the singers perspective that you bring. It helps a tone deaf person like myself appreciate the artists even more.

I think john became so well known in Australia that many didn’t appreciate his great talent. Now he has a health battle and may never sing again. I believe that he is one of the best performers ever, he has such a way of engaging with his audience and he is just so darn talented. I hope he recovers and I will always be grateful that he shared his incredible talent with us and was still able to keep it real and not be up himself.

Ha glad that request made it through. I grew up with John being omnipresent on radio, to the point where I admit I basically took him for granted, or didn't really pay too much attention to him. It wasn't really until a few years ago that I spontaneously had the urge to see what he was like singing with the Little River Band - and I landed on this video and was absolutely blown away by the stage presence and performance. After that I went down the rabbit of hole of all the live performances I could find for him on KZbin (and others I never had the chance to see live). Suffice it to say I realised i'd missed out on a LOT.

OK, don't get upset! You know that John is my favorite singer of all time...period & he was great with Little River Band (one of my favorite bands - think I must be part Aussie) BUT I didn't like him as much with LRB as I did their original lead singer, Glenn Sharrock BECAUSE John's voice is SO powerful, he overpowered Beeb Birtles & Graeham Goble & their normal smooth 3 part harmonies. Glenn Sharrock blended perfectly with Beeb & Graeham. John needs to be a solo artist like he became again when he left LRB & just do occasional duets with whomever he chooses like Jimmy Barnes. So I'm not putting down the original LRB singers & I'm not putting down John, they're the best at what they do in their rightful places!😘 Here's why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqaWiZ6af6tqeM0

It has been a joy watching you discover and fall in love with our "Voice" here in Australia. Words cannot express the depth of feeling we hold for this once in a universe talent, that's right - universe. A few special singers may have an element or two at the same level as John, but no one has every dimension of their art operating at the level this guy does. Tone, from crystalline to whiskey-soaked; timing, from comedic to dramatic; ANY genre, any key, any audience - he commands them all. As a technical singer, he is unsurpassed, and vocal analysts will still be trying to understand the mechanics of how he does what he does many years from now. But anyone who has seen him live will attest his performance presence is every bit equal to his technical brilliance. You cannot take your eyes off him, from the front row to the back of the stadium - if you look around at a Farnham concert, it is almost eerie to see how all eyes remain transfixed on him the entire time. He has worked incredibly hard at his craft, but the sheer mercurial beauty he is able to produce hints that, at times, even John may not know exactly the detail of what he does. He is evidence of powers greater than us in the universe - a conduit that allows us a glimpse of true awe and beauty.

Beeb Birtles the second guitarist takes the higher harmony on this track (and many others) A lot of the LRB fans did not like John joining the band.... the original singer Glenn Shorrock, although a fine vocalist, was pretty much a crooner who 'stayed in his lane' harmonically...unlike Farnham who uses his voice as an instrument (he doesn't actually play an instrument very well...he knows one song on the piano (help) and can strum a guitar) He's what I call a frustrated musician haha.... The bass guitarist (Wayne Nelson) left LRB to join Farnsey's backing band at one point. Great player and equally good singer.

I stand by that too, especially as Jimmy himself said he gave a shocking vocal performance with John that night. So if the reference is to a post I made, that was me.

@@kane29842 a bit of both really. Glenn wanted the band to take a break/rest. They didn't want to so they grabbed John rather than have a tired front man lacking enthusiasm. So you're right in that Glenn didn't leave but he also didn't want to continue.

To be honest John was not a good match for them and they should of seen that well before they signed him. Their music was polar opposites. For all his undeniable ability, he just didn't fit well with them at all.

If it were just screaming then Jimmy's voice would be shredded by now. He's kept it up consistently for decades and is only fading a bit due to age.

I knew it was only a matter of time before you found John's foray into being the front man for Little River Band. He fronted the band just before re-launching his solo career with (among other great albums) 'Whispering Jack' (the album that contained 'You're The Voice' and other great songs). LRB was known for their great harmonies and fans have wanted him back ever since he left. John was a great fit, but he really needed to be let loose to soar.

John recorded with the little River Band before he made a comeback with "The Voice" and the other songs that you've watched. John Farnham has been making music and hits in Australia for over 50 years. He's had several "farewell" tours. We'll be well due for another farewell tour when the Covid restrictions ease up in Australia LOL He's just so perenially popular and the man can still belt out a tune!

When he was touring every concert he comes on at 8:30pm and doesn't leave until after the finale at 11pm then charges back out moments later for encores that go 10 more minutes! 6 nights a week, week after week! (the 7th day (Monday) he travelled between towns & cities.

LRB, were huge in the US, however, when Glen left after a dispute with his band mates and John took over, audiences were not overly impressed with him as front man. I suppose it's like any major band when front men are changed, audiences find it hard to accept the newbies. LRB, are still around in name only. No original members. My favourite JF song with LRB was/is down on the border. 🥰🥰🇦🇺. Oh, and Van from LRF has his buzzer/horn, you have your silky touchdown scarfy thing, now just to get the big guy Jamel aka Jamal to have something to wave or press, hmmm, 🤔😅

"We want John Back" - John stepped into LRB when Glenn Shorrock left. Glenn came back when John went solo after they all decided he was more eclectic than LRB's one style. (We must wait for his Biopic as John won't allow one until after he dies)
