He laid the platform for all who came after him. He literally kick started the Australian rock/pop music industry.
True, from JOK and Col Joye you got the easybeats, billy thorpe, Johnny Farnham etc. You could even throw in the Bee Gees as they were fans of JOK and Col.
johnny okeefe was by far the greatest australian singer of all time
I was 3 years old when my dad took me off his shoulders and put me on stage at a Johnny O Keefe concert and I started to do the go go and the crowd went wild. I’m a 58 year old grandmother. Long time ago. Lol
That is so cool. My mum was a Go Go Dancer ín her youth ..She would perform to Col Joy and others with Denise Drysdale ♥️
An icon in the industry for sure. The parents of the time apparently hated him because the teenage girls would go crazy over his performances.
The backing singers are a group called the delltones they are a great Aussie group. Definitely worth reacting to.
They were lifesavers at Bronte beach when they first started the band, Peewee Wilson was a friend of my uncle, I always loved his deep voice
Cool - when I saw the tall guy I did wonder if it was perhaps them. I discovered them as a teenager in the 80's and totally glommed on to all things Delltones - they were great!!
Col Joye was another from that that sort of time that was amazing.
Yes! ‘Hangin’ Five’
I guess Sha Na Na was probably a US version of the Delltones, with Bowzer doing the PeeWee Wilson deep voice role.
I went to his last concert before his death and he was amazing. I was in labour but wasn't going to miss my only chance to see him live. I just made it to the hospital.
What a story 😁
I did the same when Cold Chisel reformed in 1998!! Had St Johns Ambulance attendants come up to check on me haha No way was missing my first chance to see Chisel perform live! I was only 11 years old when they split and did their Last Stand tour. My daughter has grown up to be a big Chisel fan also ❤
Of course. Priorities and shit 👍🏿
We love our J O'K! Thanks for listening!
David Campbell played Johnny O'Keefe in stage show Shout
The best show I have ever seen
The whole audience of all ages were up dancing, nobody could sit still
Johnny O'Keefe was known as The Wild One. He was an extraordinary showman and was Australia's first Rock and Roll legend. He started back in the 50's and released over 50 singles before he died in 1978. He was known for his crazy, energetic shows. So great to see this blast from the past.
Real Wild One was written for Johnny
The Australian king of rock n roll. Johnny was awesome.
The best live performance that I ever saw in my life Including John Farnham as a 16 year old. JO'K gave everything he had on stage & would perform encore after encore .
He was a little pocket rocket & also sang some great ballads. I saw an interview with him & he acknowledged that John Farnham would go far with his career, John was very humbled by the comment.
Work in a Pub[hotel] in the mid seventies where he was performing,he was well passed his used by date, was drinking before the show ,during the show and after the show JD I think? I was not expecting fireworks,but when he had a mike in his hand,he certainly was something special.That year we had some very good act, including ac/dc, O'keefe was as good as any,at his peak he would have blown them away. A very good showman.
Makes me smile, every new year my older neighbours would put that record on blaring
Fun fact about Johnny . In 1973 he appeared at the Sunbury festival in my home city . The reaction to him by 35,000 mostly hippies was indeed hostile . By the end of his 3 song set he had bought the house down. As far as J.O'Ks performance on stage goes he always said ‘It didn’t matter how you sang the song,’ he said, ‘it mattered what you did.’
My Aunty was there that day as his back up singer, she tells that story too.
She re-recorded Mockingbird with him.
The tall fellow in the Deltones has (or had) the deepest voice you've ever heard!
Pee Wee!
He also played Pa in Young Einstein
Thanks for watching & posting about JOK, Johnny Ray may have been an influencer. He promoted, performed & even cleaned up after his shows. Fcken legend.
My mum was up dancing on tables at one of his concerts. He wrote and performed some amazing songs... a real legend!
Love you checking out the Aussie King of Rock n Roll. The 4 back up singers are the Deltones, another Aussie rock legend.
This clip was all that remained of a 1959 filmed rock concert. Recently the entire film has been found and is in the process of being restored. I think funding is a problem. O'Keefe was the "king" of rock in Australia. He wrote and produced, had TV shows and promoted other artists. Visiting US acts were reluctant to follow him on stage because he had the crowd following. He toured the US and recorded for Liberty Records. Some of his songs were local hits in the US. A near death car accident curtailed his touring. He had many hits in Australia which continued to the mid 60's. Then lack of chart success, booze and drugs took their toll and he died in 1978 aged just 43. She's My Baby, Don't You Know (Pretty Baby), Move Baby Move, Why Do They Doubt Our Love, Six O'Clock Rock, I Thank You, many others. He released 50 singles.
Fun fact. There was a stage musical here in Aust about Johnny O’Keefe’s life. It was called “Shout”. Your boy David Campbell played Johnny and did a brilliant job. There’s not much David can’t do. He also recently played the late, great Bobby Darin in the stage musical “Dream Lover” here in Australia. He was also brilliant in that and won an award for his performance in that.
I was going to mention the stage show too. It was a great show.
...and David Campbell is Jimmy Barnes' son 😉👍
@@kristenogilvie7105 Yes they are a very talented family.
Oh yeah he did, I'd forgotten about that👍🤗
@@kristenogilvie7105 BREAKING NEWS!!!
All I could do is smile when I saw this - a great family friend and lovely lady - single mother of eight - who worked for my parents for years - Johnny was her first cousin and as a child I heard so much about him and heard him through them - She always said he was a great cousin to her but he was a wild one. I am 60 now. By the way she is still with us in her mid ninety's I am sure as my mother died this year at 90 and she was older.
I've heard the Great J.O.K. dozens of times but this is the first I've seen him live, man must've had the cardio of a marathon runner.
ruclips.net/video/qweaDdOHvws/видео.html
Johnny O’Keefe was a live wire, like a burst of stars crackling the stage. Love this version. Yes, the band singing with him are rock royalty, too , The Deltones, -amazing sound. So great to see them combined with JOK in this performance (thank you Isley Bothers for such an iconic song).
You can't miss Peewee Wilson😁
yeah he was an alcoholic
RIP J .O .K they called him "The Wild One" had his rock show on TV called Six O'clock Rock the backing group were called the Delltones formed in 1958 good old days Johnny died of a heart attack in 1978 aged 43 peace out
Grew up listening to Johnny O'keefe when dad played it on his record player like 35 years ago. A lot. Cheers mate.
True Aussie legend 🙌 ❤
OMG!! You have to hear david campbell sing this!!!
Our first rock and roll star. I think I will treat myself to a trip down memory lane now and watch a few JOK videos. Thanks for the memories.
Loved Johnny O’Keefe. In the 1950’s early 60’s.
My brother, this guy is my relative. To hear you say he has some James Brown in him - killed me!!!! What greater compliment could there be??!!! Thanks for taking the time to Chem him out. My respects to the Authors of this music - thanks to them for sharing their souls. This made my year and it's February 😂God bless you. Thank you again ❤
You would know his sons Peter and John?
Wow, that was cool - a total bolt outta the blue. Yep, one of our very earliest Rock'n'Rollers. He was a little guy with a BIG personality. I always loved his 1974 cover of Mockingbird with Margaret McLaren. He did a lot of covers, but some originals too - including ones he wrote/co-wrote, like his signature song Wild One (sometimes called Real Wild Child like when Iggy Pop did his cover of it and different from the Bobby Rydell song of the same name, ).
Let’s not forget Six O’Clock Rock. I was living in a residential college at University and pretty much the whole college would gather in the Hall to watch on Saturday evening.
J O’K also sang other classics like ‘I’m Counting on You’; ‘Move Baby Move’ and ‘She’s my Baby’. The Wild One!
For some more early Australian rock and roll, please check out The Easybeats' 'Friday on my Mind'. Stevie Wright is adorable, the song is a classic. And the band includes Vanda and Young, who went on to write and produce some of the biggest Australia music of the next couple of decades, including AC-DC (with George Young's younger brothers Angus and Malcolm). ruclips.net/video/rBJLoYd8xak/видео.html&ab_channel=Beat-Club
He was our King of rock
Johnny O’Keefe started rock n roll in Australia. Another gem from Australia is the wonderful Brian Cadd.
He was in parents eyes and deadly for teens as Elvis was . He was beloved . There was a band called the deltones and my dads mate was in peewee and he had a deep voice but for how small australia was back then the music industry was coming into its own. Glad you are seeing early australia xoxox
I recall my mum telling me she was at a concert in Melbourne and there was quite a few performers, JOK was one, after he performed a host of other performers were booed off stage and people weee chanting bring back Johnny
The guitarist in the band, Lou Casch, taught me how to play guitar.
Oh man, I was a small child & still remember J-OK !!!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🥂
Johnny said "you can mock me and you can boo me, but you all paid your money too come and see me because you love me...then he would begin with the shout....he is our king of rock n roll in Australia always was always will be (the wild one....he wrote shout by the way...peace to everyone
ThatSingerReactions, 86.8K Subscribers!! Well done, thanks for re-uniting me to some great Aussie artist's. I came for a holiday to this "Great Southern Land" from NewZealand in 1981 and stayed. I can't sing, I can't play a musical instrument, but I love music and your reactions have helped me to understand what notes people like Vanessa Amorosi hit! Why John Farnham's voice is so unique, how and what Jimmy Barnes does vocally [I used to think it was screaming! not anymore!!] Thank you bro, keep the great R.E.A.C.T.I.O.N.S coming because you KEEPING IT REAL ... You Eating The Good Stuff! :-)
Love your reactions . Your pretty spot on with your reactions too.
Some good memories there for me, Johnny O' Keefe was my Dads favourite artist along with Frankie Laine and Johnny Cash. In the late 60's and early 70's growing up on saturday night, my parents would have friends around our house and they would be blasting out JOK, Johnnie Cash and Frankie Laine. My Mum was more a Tom Jones and Englebert Humperdinck fan but saturday night was their night and us kids got to listen in and in someways kicked started our appreciation of music.Always a lot of music at my place.
I am so with you on everything you said, I look back as a kid and Sunday mornings were my music education
My mother grew up the rebel she loved JOK when the majority of ladies back in the day were Kamal fans he was considered more lady like lol
Holy shit we may be related.
JOK was one of our earliest rock stars. He could dance, was loud as hell and a real showman 🙂 My mother interviewed him when she was a journalist in the 60s. Sadly, he died quite young at 43, of heart failure.
Everly lips with Elvis hips
Thank you for showing such respect to these artists ❤️
G'day mate I just came across your channel.
Great to see you reacting to some great Aussie music.
Here's a few more you might want to check out.
Daddy Cool- Eagle Rock.
Axiom- A Little Ray Of Sunshine.
Cold Chisel- Bow River.
Kate Miller Hiedke- Zero Gravit, from Eurovision 2019 final
J O’K was my first rock n roll idol - 1959 - i was six!
In fact the Isley Brothers recorded the song Shout on the 29th of July 1959 and released only weeks later in Aug 1959. Where as, Shout by Jhonny O'Keeffe was released in 1957. A whole 2 years prior to the Isley Brothers.
I got a copy of Shout by JO'K in early 1960, he recorded and released it in late '59. There is a bit of misinformation in the web stating 1957 but they're a bit out on their dates on this one.
In the really early days of Aussie rock, cover tracks of US music were extremely common. Because the artists and even the songs often didn't get all the way over here otherwise. So, artists like (but not only) O'Keefe would recreate, as faithfully as possible, the big hits from the USA so Aussies could see it. The music from artists like James Brown was extremely popular and would've been an influence for many in that era.
ThatSingerReactions, In 1961/62 the Beatles performed this song everynight in Germany as part of their 8 hour act. George Harrison would sing this song and it would last for 15/18 mins. This song was/is a rock and roll classic and Johnny O'Keefe does the song proud. Cheers, Chris Perry.
He started in the early 50’s and was a rock n’ roll artist, I think up to a few years before till his death in 77-78’ish from an overdose. He was the first Australian rock n’ roller to tour US, and I know he toured for the troupe’s in Vietnam. The things I pick up from my Aussie Mother-in-law 🧐.
I think he died of a heart attack
@@thechoshow12 you got me doubting my memory and had to look it up. It says on google that it was barbiturate poisoning “drug overdose “ that then caused a heart attack.
Yayy, more Aussie talent 🇦🇺😁!
Love your reactions 🙂 and the way you point out details I hadn’t noticed 💥👏🏻
P.S: could you do a reaction Aussie legend “Billy Thorpe?” Amazing voice, check out his song called MAMA 💙
As an old dude who saw Johnny just before died I was only about 18-19 when I met 'the wild one'. He had a bad car accident in America which stalled his career but he was wild.
Australian king of rock.
He was brilliant and this is a brilliant adaptation of the Isley Brothers song - I can listen to both and appreciate them as great songs.
There's a good miniseries - Shout! The Story of Johnny O'Keefe - about his life and rise to stardom. On Amazon Prime I believe.
The backing vocals here is from another Australian band of the era - the Delltones.
Iggy Pop Real Wild Child was an adaptation and homage to JOK and his hit “Wild One”.
His other song, “you hit the wrong note, billygoat” was written and gifted to him by Bill Haley, who was a friend of JOK.
I never saw JOK singing with that face. He had a bad car accident that messed up his face he thought. I think he was cuter after the accident now I have seen this. It started him on a spiral. In and out of mental hospitals. My Dad loved him and he taught me to love him. My Mother loved him too.
I remember standing on a corner in Sydney waiting to cross the road when I was 15. JOK stopped his big convertible next to me and something in his eyes stopped me from crossing the road. I could feel how sad he was so I stayed where I was. He went around the block 7 times while I stood there. Don’t know how many times before I got there or after my friend made me leave. I remember telling my parents that he was on the way down again and on the news that night they told us he had been admitted to hospital again.
He died not long after that at 43 I think. The same age my Mother and grandfather died. He was loved and he was great. I did see him live once.
Great story. I've always asked people who were around then about JOK , and everyone, and I do mean everyone had a story about him. Some good, some bad, some hilarious, some touching, he made an extraordinary impact on a nation.
Would have liked to have seen you react to the recorded version so you could get the true perspective of how amazing he was
Johnny O'keefe.. the original...
Back then no overseas groups wanted to come here [too far away], so singers like J. O'K [Johnny O'Keefe] would sing the hits from overseas and be performing them here. It is because no overseas artists wanted to come that the Beatles tour in 1964 was such a BIG deal. He was the first rock star and called "The Wild One"
Bigs
Sorry but that comment is so wrong.
Almost all major rock n roll acts, except Elvis, toured Australia. O'Keefe appeared on many of The Big Shows and his band The Dee Jays backed many of these acts. Australia was, and still is a big market for overseas acts.
The wild one. If you can you should watch Stevie Wright's Evie parts 1,2 and 3 live at the Sydney Opera House 1979 possibly Australia's greatest rock song he's from the Easy Beats they sang Friday On My Mind.
The backing group were the Delltones who were a top band in their own right & the tall skinny guy was Pee Wee Wilson who had a really deep voice that was evident in their version of Mr Bassman.
Great choice, thankyou for reviewing it , blast from the past !
The tall back-up singer has a crazy low voice and was a member of the Delltones.
Great song, love johnny o'keefe. The backing group was the delltones and I would highly recommend you listen to them doing "get a little dirt on your hands".
Johnny O'Keefe recorded this song way back in 1959!!!
J ok was a huge Elvis fan
Johnny sang it on a TV program 6 o'clock Rock...just1 month after The original version
The one to look at is Wild One. Iggy Pop famously covered it. His version is the ever introduction to a popular music presentation on Australia's ABC entitled RAGE.
My Aunty was John's backup singer for 5 year. She recorded Mockingbird with him. She was only 16 when she started singing with John.
Some people wanted her to go to the US, but she stayed here and had a family instead.
John Farnham started as Johnny O'Keefe support act, and Marg tells me of a time they were all on tour in the tour bus, and John (Farnham) was a hoot. She said they had a blast, and what you see is what you get with John. He's a genuinely great block as well as being the GOAT.
When they did Sunbury (australia's Woodstock) John (O'Keefe) made them wear their usual suits and they were almost boo'd off stage, but within moments John had the crowd eating out of his hands. Not the best singer, but a great showman.
ruclips.net/video/MgManA2-FkM/видео.html
Spent hours going through you're Aussie videos and I'm so glad someone gave you this
From everything else you liked I knew you had to see him
I was born in 73 and grew up listening to Johnn O'Keeffe ❤ amongst other bands. I have negative feelings for today's music.
He wrote, "The Wild One." which has been covered by everyone.
Hey Nick, cheers again to you man for showcasing Australian talent. Yep, Johnny "The Wild One" was an Aussie rock n roll pioneer and was no doubt inspired by the great American artists at the time such as James Brown, Elvis and Bobby Darin, he was like Australia's version of all 3 rolled into one. I remember my parents telling us about seeing him in concert in Sydney when they were young at the Rushcutters Bay stadium which was Sydney's rock n roll mecca for local and overseas artists. Another of his big hits was "She's my baby" from 1966 ruclips.net/video/ANQ5TW9HVkY/видео.html and one of the first singles I bought as a 10 year old music nut, the ballad "She wears my ring" which really showcases his vocal ability ruclips.net/video/_UXJhbqc3E0/видео.html an Aussie rock legend RIP, All the best
Johnny OKeef, the wild one was the grand daddy of australian rock n roll. He sounds like he could be barnseys father
His brother couldn’t have been more different! Barry O’Keefe was a lawyer then judge. His biography on Wiki is amazing. His son is the former TV host Andrew O’Keefe who was also a lawyer. Both Johnny and Barry won scholarships to the University of Sydney.
I saw JO'K perform several times in the 1960s. I thought J."OK was O.K. though nothing special. In 1977 My team from Canberra played a game of social cricket, in Wollongong, N.S.W. After the game the home team took us to the local Leagues Club. I thought this place was great - cheap beer and ridiculously cheap and excellent food. Both were subsidised by the massive array of poker machines in the joint - literally hundreds of them..
The feature cabaret act was J.O'K. When he started to sing, he almost demanded everyone's attention, to the extent that people stopped playing the poker machines and drifted towards the stage, in awe of a master at work. Apart from rapturous applause after each song, there was no other sound, not even the clatter of those old-fashioned bloody poker machines. It was because of the mood I was in, or J.OK had become a consummate performer since the 1960s. Maybe a bit of both. Great night though.
Note: "Leagues clubs{ are social venues, usually owned by return service men and women organisations.
Nice anecdote. Quick correction for your final note. You have described RSL clubs - returned services league. Leagues clubs are different to RSL clubs. They are primarily established to propagate/support the game of rugby league - either local junior clubs or professional rugby league teams. They are owned by members and are non-profit - meaning that money has to be invested in facilities for members, or used to help community groups.
Poker machines destroyed all the good music venues here in Melbourne. Was a time to play the pokies you had to go north of the border up to Albury or somewhere. They are an absolute blight on society. I think Joan Kirner legalised them in the early 90's. I remember the first time I played them was about 86 on a cricket club trip away to Albury at the SS and A club. At the same club I remember asking for a pot of Vic and the bartender looked at me funny and said "Are you a Mexican" we sell schooners here. Hilarious, the old south of the border joke, I wish they kept the pokies north of the border. Sadly they have ruined a lot of lives.
Johnny O'Keeffe and the delltones..
The really tall guy is Ian 'pee wee' Wilson is the bassman.
There was a rumour Johny O keefe was trying to break into the American market and this is his arrangement for Shout. He performed it for the record company in the USA and they took it and got the writers to sing it to this arrangement. This performance was in Australia one month after it was released in the USA.
It was not recorded in the US. In 1960 he recorded at Liberty Records Gold Star studios in LA, She's My Baby, Jubilee, Don't You Know Pretty Baby, It's Too Late.
She's My Baby sold 100,000 units in the US, It's Too Late went to No.1 in New Orleans. Shout was recorded with the Delltones in Sydney in 1959.
O'Keefe probably played Shout to Liberty's A&R man who he accidentally met in a drug store when he was trying to get the store manager to put his records on the juke box. This chance encounter lead to a recording session. Cringeworthy, Liberty billed him as The Kangaroo Kid.
@@blueycarltonhis Liberty sides are exemplary. Powerful rock pop, almost blue eyed soul. Don't You Know and Come On a Take my Hand are stompers.
I love "she's my baby"
My favourite too!
100% and "She wears my ring".
Johnny O'Keefe was amazing - nobody else came close. I went to a J O'K show once - he made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
In his early days he did a lot of covers of big name US stars such as Ricky Nelson. Technically the recording quality in the Australian studio was not as good as the US studios, nor was the mastering, but J O"K was a much better singer, and he knew a few tricks of the trade to add excitement. Play "Just a Little Too Much" by Nelson - it's nice, he did a good job. Then play the same song by J O"K - it sounds like he's really pleased to know you, and he's enjoying singing.
J O'K was booked to warm up the audience when Bill Haley and the Comets came to Sydney at the height of Haley's fame. On seeing J O'K perform and how he had worked up the audience, old Bill didn't want to go on - he knew he would be very tame and a let down after J O'K.
But J O'K was crazy all right.
He was pretty cool for our part of the white world of rock...it's not a patch on the Isley Bros. version but it's cool and we needed it. He didn't have much of a voice but he could do a rock n shout.
This is one of those songs, like John farnham’s ‘one’, where when Australian artists used to cover overseas hits when Australian radio stations would not play overseas artists. We firmly believed Johnny o’keefe was the original singer of this song 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The story goes he was a stickler for his whole crew hitting perfect pitch. The most thrilling part of the song for me was when someone on the backing vocals did that kind of wolf howl. There was more of it on the record that in this concert.
You make me want to SHOUT !
My english teacher in 1972 was JOKs niece - she was awesome 😁👍
"I don't even know who this guy is"....that's JOK man!!!!!!!!!
Gee, id never really looked closely at any JO'K footage before, so I hadn't really noticed just zzHOW much Andrew O'K looks like him! Very strong family genetics at play there...!
The singers are legends in their own right the Deltones
JOK had his own tv show on our public broadcaster ABC, on Sunday night at 6pm, called "6 O'clock Rock", it was kinda like Bandstand but not quite the same...we also had a version of Bandstand hosted by a very young Brian Henderson, who went on to become one of our best newsreaders...
In the 80s(?) NSW had Brian Henderson, and Victoria had Brian Naylor, both trusted and revered evening newsreaders for the same network, so the network used an ad campaign featuring them in each state "Brian told me"...or something like that...
JOK All the way!
Awesome..I'm pumped 💯✌️🍷🖤
My mums favourite singer, she adored him! Hmm, another Aussie artist you may like to check out is John Paul Young in particular his song "Yesterday's Hero" an awesome listen!
Only one of the greatest of all Rock and Rollers.
His nephew is a TV game show host in Australia (Andrew okeife ) …they look heaps alike
Haha how risqué are his moves ..I love it
Johnny had an amazing career in music and tv but a short life unfortunately…the drugs and booze got him in the end died young at 45
Australia's original Rock n Roller. My Mum said i used to stop and stare every time J O'K came on the TV (when i was about 18 months old). you should also try The Wild One which he got his only writing credit on, and has been covered by US artists. He died around the same time and age as Elvis as well.
The vocal group backing J O’K (as us Aussies call him) are called The Deltones. The tall guy with that rich deep voice is Pee Wee Wilson. Here they are singing another cover Come A Little Bit Closer ruclips.net/video/Z512TKHBy7g/видео.html
Crikey, that’s going back a long way!
Johnny’s son John is actually a lawyer in Canberra (where I live) and ran for politics several years ago
