[@Ali-qy5ic]

As an Aussie, I’m so glad people have found out about John Farnham thanks to Celine’s documentary. John is a national treasure here and a household name. He never tried for an international career (even though he had offers!) because he preferred living in Australia with his family. A truly remarkable singer. Sad that he has had cancer & a large part of his jaw removed. A twist of fate that he and Celine both suffer health issues.

[@Bluelargo50]

That’s a horrible surgery. My step Dad whom I loved dearly had the same and he hated life after the surgery. I’d visit and I’d leave in tears. This song I dedicate to Jim Hamrick. I love u Papa!❤️

[@janjaylangelo4]

Wow I completely forgot this version of Help. It's my favorite one. This version was very popular in the Philippines back in the 80's. Of course never knew the singer but it kept on playing by our radio stations. Thank you Celine for bringing him back to me. Now I can listen to him whenever I want. Ive always love singers with husky voice like Bonnie Tyler, Kim Carnes, R8d Stewart and of course John Farnham.

My mum told me this was originally a Beatles song and I was shocked because it sounds like he originally sung it, thats how good it is.

[@opjansen]

It is that good, wish you were there 👍🇳🇴

[@CC3193]

I just heard an audio clip of John Lennon saying Help is one of his favourite Beatles rings, but he felt they had sung it too fast. John Farnham released his cover June 1980, just fix months before Lennon died. I hope he heard Farnham’s extraordinary cover of it.

[@adriansosu5838]

Before he starts to sing, he tells it’s a John Lennon kind. ;)

Was watching the Celine Dion documentary - Which is phenomenal- And it brought me to this. Celine, Rich get the door Rich get the door I hope you are better soon, but I also hope you come out. You know… Regular people are just regular people. You shouldn’t be afraid of us.
