There’s no way Jimmy can be expected to be able to sing at his best for decades, and most live stuff I see of his, especially from later years, you can tell that he’s lost some of the nuance whilst trying to belt out those incredible notes, but you still have to take your hat off to him. Do yourself a favour and have a listen to the studio version as well, it’s absolutely golden. Nice start to the week! Looking forward to the coming days!

Vocally, if you get to hear John Farnham's cover, prepare to have your socks blown off. And if you happen to see this comment before watching Farnsey again - you mentioned his range and I did some research into this: it's near on three octaves. He's been recorded from A2 to G5. Belting. Without falsetto. Love your work, fellas.

All 3 recorded 80’s versions are equally brilliant Ian Moss brings so much soul to original. * The original Chisel classic * The Little River Band version underrated brilliant . The songs songwriter Steve Prestwich even playing drums for LRB at this moment in time in 1985 . John Farnham’s vocals are at his strongest also that this moment LRB’s harmonies are pitch perfect . * John Farnham’s solo version more stripped back than the his LRB version but still a great interpretation with so much emotional deliverance .

Ian Moss did go solo and you should check him out. "Tuckers Daughter" is what comes to mind as a fav.

Written by drummer Steve Prestwich, who died about 7-8 years ago....not sure, my memory for time isn't great, could be more recent. A Liverpudlian by birth, Prestwich wrote a few songs, including the beautiful "Forever Now." Most Chisel tracks were written, or at least part written by keyboardist Don Walker, a brilliant songwriter.
