    Richard Marx is a musical genius himself, yet for him to play the piano and not sing says so much about him and the respect he has for John, what a beautiful song and performance, thank you mate, your channel is going from strength to strength

    Richard Marx is a famous American singer/songwriter/musician. I just watched him in John’s 25th Anniversary Special. I finally understood why John’s career stopped. He did a lot of musical theatre and no one wanted to hear him sing anymore.
    Richard Marx lived in LA and his Dad had a satellite dish so he was playing with his radio and he found an Australia radio station with John singing You’re The Voice. He said his face looked like it did when he first saw Elvis as a child. He went to every record shop in LA and no one had that album but one store would order it for him. It was the Whispering Jack album that gave John back to us. As you can see Richard came to see him. He said the best all time singer was Sam Cooke but the best singer alive is John Farnham. You should watch that video just for yourself, it explains so much and there is a lot of sad and happy in it. John had been onstage for 25 years and only made money in the last five years, back then. John and three members of his team each wrote a verse in Burn For You when they were touring Europe. It is about how they felt leaving their wives behind and how many time the wives hung up the phone because the wives wanted them home. It was how they felt being there without them. I didn’t know that and I love him more for it. Thank you.

    Richard Marx came across John Farnham years ago when he first heard him sing You're The Voice. He was blown away and said it was like when he first saw Elvis on television. Richard is an American singer with his own hits and also an incredible song writer. He's written songs for John and they are great friends. You know what? you're right, this was perfect.

  • @benjybean

    Quote from Richard Marx after hearing John Farnham sing "You're The Voice" for the first time. "I became obsessed with John Farnham. I think Sam Cooke is the greatest singer who ever lived. I think John Farnham is the greatest singer alive!” Pretty high praise from an amazing singer, song writer! Richard was and is a huge star in his own right. Look him up, you won't be disappointed.

  • @shoresaresandy
    @shoresaresandy 2 года назад +75

    Richard Marx credits John with changing his musical career. He said in an interview that he was at his parents house and tapped into a music program in Australia via satellite and was gobsmacked with Johns voice. The only other person who effected him like that was Elvis. He said John was a chameleon who can sing anything. He wrote songs especially for Johns vocal range. I can’t wait Nick for you to get a request for Hearts on Fire when he sings up to C5. You will go nuts!

      @@shanethurston9512 a good singer modulates the mic volume using distance. Good, powerful voiced singers always do This, and it is very dependant on the stage volume of the band and many other factors including vocal power.
      I am sure John would sing with the mic to his lips for some intimate passages, too, where the power of delivery is not appropriate.
      Not taking anything away from him - his vocal power and range are extraordinary - almost one of a kind.

    Much of John's delivery comes from having done Musical Theatre
    "Pippin", "JC Superstar", and others... Not only empowering his stage presence and making him give meaning to the lyrics, but enhancing his projection. 1974, when he did Pippin, there were no personal mics, or even any pick ups! You had to project your voice over the ensemble, over the orchestra in the pit, and bounce it off the back wall!
    I've even been to a concert where his mic dropped out and we could still hear him over his band! When he shouts at us off mic during his concerts we can hear him clearly in the back row! THAT is a performer!

      Dead right. Sounds like a yank to me. His first 7 singles reached the bill board top 5. A record.

    You know I love all your reactions to my favorite, John!❤ You also need to check out Richard Marx! He's American! He's still performing, touring & writing. He's had numerous hits of his own & for other artists & sold over 30 million albums!🤩 "Hold on to the Night" & "Right Here Waiting" are 2 of my favorites!😁 The audio & video are incredible on this live version: ruclips.net/video/kzAczKAryE0/видео.html

    I love how much you love Our John Farnham and seeing the joy on your face. We’ve been lucky to have had him for so long here in OZ but I wish his music was over in the States when he first became really famous here. I went to one of his concerts about 10 years ago.

    Chains around my heart is a Richard Marx song that John Farnham covers. Powerful and tricky to sing.

    I'm a Kiwi. Australians and New Zealanders (Kiwis), have been listening to John Farnham for years, I think I was 10 yrs old when I first heard him singing, Age of Reason...
    It's so funny to see different reactors reacting to Singers, Bands we've listened to a life time ago... But it nice just to see the reactions on your faces that gets me...
    Keep going, love the channel... Try a couple from Midnight Oil...

    I never hated on him, but I grew up with him on the radio every day on a middle of the road pop music radio station. I always thought of him as a middle of the road pop singer. It has taken your analysis, and stopping and replaying sections of him singing, to finally hear that he's more than an average singer. I can finally hear his towering musical talent. And every now and then I STILL can't hear Farnham as anything more than average. Obviously I have been spoiled.
    Edit: I had the exact same relationship with Barnsey as a rock singer until you came along and taught me to appreciate what I took for granted.
