I’ve never heard anyone else sing with such clarity and perfect diction, emotion and passion as John does. Doesn’t matter the song, the genre, what age he is his voice is gold and just a great performer and human being. The greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time with seemingly unlimited vocal range, stage presence, agility, everything is perfect and John always puts everything into everything he does.
Thank you for your great reaction and appreciation of our phenominal Aussie Legend John Farnham! Yes I remember seeing that brilliant performance. All John's Performances have been brilliant though. I have always and will always love him and his uplifting music. xo
John Farnham was 30 here and looks very young. Such a beautiful voice! ❤
I love the way he turned it into a pure gospel song. Only the greatest of singers can be both technically wonderful, but then take it beyond lyrics to a sublime spiritual experience.
He always still to this day acknowledges his musicians & singers who back him up.. He has done his whole career.. That is the mark of a great & humble man..
Beautiful words from you about John. Here’s something you might like … Glen Wheatley, John’s friend and manager who recently passed away, was interviewed ages back asking why he wanted to manage John, when the music “industry” had basically given John the flick … wouldn’t play his music on the radios. Glen said (paraphrasing) I watched John singing his absolute heart out in front of a small audience at a club and thought “he needs to be heard, people need to understand this man’s talent. John’s “break back” into the industry that had all but wiped him was Whispering Jack, the album that featured You’re the Voice. John never gives a flat performance … passion is at the heart of his singing. I’m struck by Glen’s comments anytime I see John in concert when they pan back and dim the lights so that all you see is John in the middle of the stage singing his heart out.
My Nan who passed away at 98 yo back in 1999 would never hear a bad word spoken about Johnny Farnham. She went to all the 60 and over club functions which he sang at regularly in the 1970's in and around Melbourne, My Mum used to say he oversang but my Nan would get a bit stroppy when she said that. It was quite funny to hear those two going at it when I was a teenager.
Art Garfunkel has the pure angelic voice but John Farnham has the ability to pull you in emotionally..........that is what I love about John, the heart he puts into every lyric that makes you really feel it.
He is a genuinely lovely guy, funny respectful and loyal and a devoted husband and father something rare in show business these days.
That was a hard time for John. He had a bad manager to begin with that made him sing old people’s songs and be called Johnny but he was starting to break out with his voice. His best friend Glenn became his manager and then his boss when he mortgaged his home and all he had because no one in Australia or America would give John a recording contract. Then no radio station would play his new album so Glenn brought FM radio to Australian. He changed our music. The other radio stations had to give up and play his music because we wouldn’t stop requesting it.
I think that was the Whispering Jack album and the last song added and the first song released was You’re The Voice. Glenn had great vision but John wasn’t hard to gamble on. There is an interview I saw not long ago, only made a few weeks ago from old interviews when we lost Glenn. Glenn used to drive John everywhere because he thought it was part of his job. They were both very sweet men. Glenn kept saying, we are number one, can you believe it? John didn’t answer so he looked at him and John was crying. That song meant so much to John and because Glenn believed he had talent that it was never left out of any concert. John sang it for himself and Glenn. Those two were very much alike, they didn’t live far apart, their wives were friends and their children grew up together. They were family and they were all our family. Many in Australia are grieving at the loss of Glenn to Covid complications. He was in hospital for almost 3 months and the week before he was finally getting better.
I do not think John will ever sing again unless it is a tribute to Glenn and I can’t see him getting through it.
Thank you for showing the world who John is. He is everything you see in public, he has always been himself.
I watched the same interview.
I've linked it above for anyone interested. 🙂✌️
Glenn, mortaged his house because he believed in John, and some years later John Gave Glenn $100.000 which would buy you a house and give you some change at the time....... because of a couple of reasons, Glenn was going to have to go bankrupt. They were brothers in their heart's. John was really pissed when the story leaked and only ever spoke about it once. Glenn was a good man and John is a good man ......2 strong hearts. Vale Glenn
It's a very hard and sad time for JF right now, having just lost his long time BF and manager Glenn Wheatley, a legend in his own right, due to complications from Covid. They were a team. John is said to be "devastated".
My heart goes out to both Glenn and John's families. Rest In Peace Glenn. 🌹

A genuinely beautiful man. Fantastic voice. Great reaction. 🔥🔥❤️🥰
I remember watching this back then. It's not until I listened to it now that I can truly appreciate John's greatness. We all took it for granted back then...
He’s got the pipes, and it’s not an easy song to sing well. He’s also a generous performer and decent guy.
Our John always puts his own unique touch on every song he sings. Such a powerful voice. ❤❤❤
I love how you see the awesome man behind the awesome talent. You're right, Farsnsy is one of those people that is just nice to everyone and a genuine bloke. He's struggling now as Debra said below, after losing his best mate and manager recently. Such a grateful, honest soul, and very funny at times. 👌 I was 16 years old when this was recorded. He was mostly a variety performer at this stage having been a big deal 10 years earlier and considered a "has been" by many in the industry. Even when "You're the Voice" came out, radio stations didn't want to play it, but the public kept requesting more and more until they relented and embraced him once again. The rest, as they say, is history. 😊
He was so young here, been doing the rounds since the 60s and still killing it
Aussie legend. A true gentleman and unique talent.
This is one of my personal favourites! He was 30 years old here and on the Don Lane show. The power in his voice when he hits those high notes is just wow!!
Sorry heads up he was 26 😊🥰
@@aussiekat6379 He sang this on the Don Lane show in November 1979. He was born in 1949 😉 that makes him 30.
I was 18 and a month. Johnnie Farnham eventually became John Farnham. A massive transformation from "Oh my mum loves him" to "how good is JF?" Young and old just adored him, he went from lovable to cool and that's not easy to do. His talent and personality captured a nation. Cheers Matt, so glad you discovered an Aussie legend. We have a multitude of world class artists and bands here, so it's nice to watch a yank discover them for the first time and continue the journey.
Such a beautiful version. John is the best ever and he didn't waiver even going through such difficult times. What a G.O.A.T❤❤
John Farnham is one of my favorite male singers.
I hope he is doing O.K. after his surgery last year and hope he gets to sing again, Good luck John........
Don Lane was/is an American that hosted a variety show back then. He was also quite talented and once or twice on his show, performed 'You got trouble, right here in River City' from the Music Man and performed it very well. Brings back memories. I'm 74 yo and Australian. I think Don's real name was Isaac Isaacson.
Well what can you say. He is definetly one of kind. Borned to sing. His voice is simply amazing in every aspekt. One of the greatest male vocalist of all time. I truly hope that People understand how extremly hard this song is to sing.
Yes, I saw him on the Don Lane Show.... I was 21, I first fell for John back in the beginning, "Raindrops" was when I first had a crush on him.. I think I was 12 or 13 when I begged my Mum to take me to see him in the Brisbane "King George" square... an outdoor stage. I was smitten. I watched him from the beginning, and he was still performing and sounded just as good in his seventies... only stopped performing due to the COVID lock down. Then the news came, after losing his best mate and manager Glen Wheatley to Covid, his good friend (Libby) Oliver Newton John was then dying, her daughter told how the last call she took was from John, and when he heard he cried his eyes out. Then he was diagnosed mouth cancer, Jimmy Barnes, flew to Melbourne to be by his side. He underwent a 11+hour surgery, removing the tumor, part of his jawbone (they used a bit of rib bone to reform his jaw}. As his son said, "it was some kind of sick joke", the Voice got mouth cancer. Now12mths on, after a set back with a respiratory illness, we have just had the news... He is cancer free and already starting to sing around the house. Hopefully he will be with us for some time to come. A new documentary has just aired at the cinema "John Farnham - Finding the Voice" (and broke the box office), it's been aired twice on TV since with over the moon ratings. And yet again, over the past weeks, two of his albums are back up again in the Top 20. Due to the internet, he now has millions of followers all over the world. He is a Legend. He is "the VOICE", and we love him. No-one will ever be able to replace him to us.
I was 31, that makes me 74 and still listening to JF.
I love the way you explain the feeling he gives, not easy to do. As a fellow Aussie what John brings outside of the incredible & obvious talent is a relatability that connects with everyone. He exudes what it is to be an Australian & i feel why we connect with other people, a strong sense of mateship & we never feel better than the next bloke. Keep up the good work Matt.
This was back in the days when John was being controlled by the music execs. John could belt out rock with the best of them but the powers that were said no, you have to be the clean-cut young man in a suit, singing pop. They ruined his career until he managed to dump them for his best friend and new manager, the late Glenn Wheatly. Glenn took him to the top, and he stayed there.
Our wonderful John 💕💕💕
That must have just about been the first time we realised there was way more to John that just easy listening music. This performance was so pure and powerful. Stunning! Love you, John and continue to get better and better. ( I was 22 when this was on the show and I remember it well.)
Thankyou for bringing John to the world. His talent in awe ispiring. Some of his earlier stuff from the 60's and early 70's showcases the absolute purity of his voice before the grit kicked in. He is blessed with a natural gift. Never had a singing lesson in his life. I only hope that he gets through this time of mourning for his great freind. With out Glenn by his side im not sure we will ever see him singing live again. But he is the KING of comebacks, so you never know.
If you give John Farnham a great song to sing, well he will sing it brilliantly.
This is a pivotal moment for John.
Look how effortless he makes it look.
But this is not an easy song to sing especially hitting those notes.
I guess it's just another performance to make great songwriters feel appreciated as no other singer could.
I love you John, you have enriched my life as no other singer could.
Thankyou!
The young John Farnham won every talent quest he ever entered since he was a kid. Then he burst into the public spotlight and blew everyone else away. He is one of the best entertainers of all time.
Love the guy.
John farnham is the best for me.
And all interviews are great too, funny and so kind.
I had forgotten that I had seen John sing this on live television when I was a boy. From then till now he has always had a magnificent voice. Australia's best talent and wonderful showman.
I watched while getting ready for night duty in ICU. I was already a fan of the person, in addition to The Voice.
Roy & HG (comedians) interview with him was hilarious "you're a serial over-singer aren't you?" Yep, his response unashamedly. If you've got it, flaunt it I say. And yet again, always acknowledged the musicians & backing singers. What you see is what you get indeed. Thanks again for sharing & I would have seen this for sure because everyone watched the Don Lane show.
He is a funny bastard with the best cords anywhere lol. Yesss 13 and I love with Johnny for what he was known back then.
Look at that cheeky look on his face at the end. "Yep, that went well". And yes, I watched the Don Lane Show practically every night. It was a staple of Aussie TV, even though Don was a Yank.
Ugh he is a gentleman through and though is what I was adding to my last comment and you are right on. You know it’s John the moment he opens his mouth. I am legally blind and have trouble seeing clearly but I always know our John. Thanks for loving him as we all do xoxox
I was 18 years old and Loved Farnsey and Don Lane.
I remember it, we used to regularly watch the Don Lane Show. I was a month short of 29 when he sang this.
Love it. I remember this. Have you noticed the lack of grit? The 50 a day hadn't kicked in by then. Such clean and clear notes.
Don Lane was an American.
LOL Don the Lanky Yank! He said that John belongs in a big room in Vegas. I watched this live, I was 24! I watched every TV show who had John on. I never went to a concert as I just can’t do crowds! John puts so much emotion into everything he sings. Keep reacting to Farnsey, love it! Thanks Matt.
EVERYONE watched “The Don Lane Show “ back in the day.
I was a couple of months away from my 15th birthday.
It was like the Ed Sullivan Show or The Jimmy Fallon Show of today.
He has a beautiful generous spirit.
How gorgeous was he, loved him when I was 16, love him now that I am seventy, it breaks my heart that he has had part of his jaw removed because of mouth cancer! at least we have his beautiful work to look back on!
Also remember, no auto tune back then either 😍. Don Lane was a New York born entertainer who came to Oz and ended up living here.
Hey, send some love and prayers John's way, he's recovering in ICU from major mouth cancer surgery. We just lost Olivia, don't want to lose another Aussie legend!
Yep, watched the Don Lane show every week. He was an American import. Great personality. Loved this performance by JF. I'm a little younger than him, , but not much.
Thank you Matt for the reaction.. Cheerio from Down Under 🙏
Thanks Matt.
John got a new manager and went in a different direction. He became an Aussie legend.
It’s incredible that John was pretty much out of work at this time. No record label would sign him. He did the occasional guest spot like this, acted and sang in a kids’ pantomime, and whatever else he could get.
Yes I was watching and Matt a lady never reveals her age lol. Thanks for showing your appreciation of our number one son ....Looking forward to you finding more of our Aussie artists to 'react' to.
John was born to sing.
Amazingly beautiful ❤
Lol I was 12 and remember it. Always watched Don Lane Show.
His very first hit was "Sadie the Cleaning Lady"...he sure grew after that hit!
I was 19 when John sang this epic song. Always love our farnsy forever mate, from Australia with love 🇦🇺🇦🇺
❤
Buongiorno Matt,
That beautifull song, i suggest you to listen the Elvis Presley version, on you tube live in Las vegas. Thank you so much for your musical choice reaction 🎶 always amazing great. Tony from Paris France 🗼☀️
At this time in his career he was show biz poison, no radio station would play his stuff, no record company would give him a recording contract, wasn't for another ten years after this he made a huge comeback with whispering jack
Just want to tell you mate have followed you since you first heard John I love you for that he is amazing
I was 14 watching that mate, we all watched that show !
Excellent version. John has always been on an upwards trend as his voice developed.
ABeautiful song by a Beautiful , Caring and Humble Human Being . Thankyou so much for playing this video ~~
And lets not forget that he was in the Little River Band for a while.
Beautiful stuff Matt. Thanks. 🤠Cheers from Sydney, AU.
wow, jhn did vis so so well, vry gd
Yep always watched Don Lane who had a variety show on 9 for years. And he was American! I would’ve been 21 and anything with Farnsey was also watched 😊
He is amazing 👏thanks mate
😲 OMG...Beautifully sung ♥
I was 7 and living in the country and that's where I first saw him when he came to my country town and when he sang ,raindrops keep falling on my head.I knew then.
He is the ultimate gentleman .he is a family man who still after so many yrs of marriage he still adores his wife. He was you
I was a 14yo but have never seen this. JF is all the things you mentioned. Absolutely amazing Live! You are just blown away😲😯♥️
Top bloke & muchly loved👍🇦🇺 ♥️💛🖤
I had an 8 year old that year, plus a 6 year old and a 4 year old. Yes, I saw that show.
John is what you see is what you get. He never changed and if you spoke to him on the Street he would answer like he was your friend and with respect. He was raised by good parents, he honestly cares about people.
When I was a kid I had to be in Don Lanes Audience with a group I belonged to. I was 11 or 12 and just before we went in we were told we had to be 16, so look 16! I think I just looked confused. Don Lane I learned was a nasty person when the camera’s were off. I only watched his show if there was someone I wanted to see on it.
I have just heard a react to John singing ‘playing to win’ and it was so much fun and fast. It was at Melbourne with the Melbourne Orchestra.
Hi Matt, l could never understand how John could hit the high notes while being a very heavy smoker,and never been vocally trained. He has since quit smoking . Love your work Matt x Lyn from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
1979 , that’s right! Brown was “In” maybe a car to match the combo!.
😂 yes. And we called every shade if those brown cars, baby s**t brown
@@elizabethscott7660 Never to be confused with “Baby blues eyes”
omg!!!
How could our radio station ignore Johns voice ,shame ,record companies must have been tone dead
I think you'd be interested in these from john with tay Charles
Also another with tom jones and one with celine
A couple more he does with each of his back up singing girls
One called angels with lessa
2nd amazing grace with Loretta
Another aussie female singer tina arena sings in multiple languages over seas now in her 50s
👌🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🇦🇺🐨
Jon Farnham was the guy you didnt take your missus to see... because afterwards you just seemed plain AVERAGE. guy is top shelf.
I was actually 32! lol
His nick name is “ The Voice”
Hey what about Sadie the cleaning lady song!

1979 not '75
"Johnny" Farnham wasn't a very good singer. He got more brave with his voice around this time. The 1980 album called Uncovered had some hints of what was to become of John's now famous belting ability. His time with LRB really brought out the belt.....and the rest is history.
Thanks Matt.
1979 not '75
