I love how Miss Venetta who was famous in her own right before John. Looks up when sweaty John puts his arm around her like a proud Mother. Before she left America she was in 2 movies, sang for Whitney Houston and many greats. She chose to stay with John as did his other backup singers until retirement. His musicians and crew all stayed. Thank you.
Venetta has a solo career, a session vocalist career, and a period as an Ikette with Ike and Tina Turner. She has litterally sung back up for many world famous singers and groups. And yet she chose to spend many many years singing eith Joh Farnham. Probably because he treated her like a Queen. In fact he often referred to her as Queen Venetta. At the beginning of his Whispering Jack tours. She would sing solo during the breaks that he had off stage ...and Amazing Grace was one of her special songs .
John is always the first to give credit, where credit is due; and this is no more prevalent than his pleasure to share others gifts with you, by gracefully giving them all opportunities. John is a true and loving gentleman of entertainment.
Its Mothers Day here today so I had to listen again while thinking of my Mum. She passed in 2018 at almost 97 and she was a beautiful Mum and everyone loved her. 😍 🎉❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing a mum at any age is tough, and Mother’s Day is one of those times we miss them even more than usual. ❤ This song reminds me of my mum, also a wonderful woman. We played it at her funeral.
I saw an interview with Vanetta, Lisa and Lindsay where they discussed their various careers, and Vanetta said she would be available to work with John whenever he asked her to. She has that much regard for him.
Venetta Fields was a backing vocalist for touring American and British rock and pop acts of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as working as a session recording vocalist, she worked with artists including Ike & Tina Turner, Pink Floyd, Humble Pie, Barbra Streisand, Elkie Brooks, Neil Diamond, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Bob Seger and the Rolling Stones. After emigrating to Australia in 1982, she took up citizenship. She recorded or toured as a backing singer for Australian artists Richard Clapton, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes, James Morrison and John Farnham..
John treats his backup singers as equals and is loyal to them which is why they are also loyal to him. Even great singers like Celine Dion consider it a privilege to be able to sing with him.
So sorry to hear that @necianicholas2878. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I live in country Qld by the way. This is another reason why I love John so much - his music touches people and brings us together to support each other ❤️
@@DIPPY-TV I HATE spell check! When Covid first started I was typing something in the comments about Covid and I didn’t realise because spell check or auto correct whatever it is decided I got it wrong and changed it to VIVID! I didn’t look before I posted and when I looked after I saw it! I was SO mad! It’s VERY annoying! Peace and Blessings to you and yours from Australia.
I had been reading a comment from an Aussie who was training to be a sound technician and was working in a studio with John and the main technician had to ask John to stand about one metre (3 feet) away from the mic to get the correct readings from the sound check LOL 🤩
@@mylittlepwny9282Goodness you scared the crap out of me. I had a momentary panic attack, thinking l had missed Mother's Day 😬🤦♀️ Then l realised this was posted 3 months ago! 😂 I'm a bit slow but l got there eventually!
Phenomenal! Best version of Amazing Grace ever. John always refers to his back up singers as his friends. He always acknowledges his musicians as well, they are first class. Vanetta has sung both with Tina Turner and Barbra Streisand, she is a real powerhouse singer in her own right.

Venetta was a front singer when not doing back up singing with john also the other singer was Lindsay fields her husband whose been in John team for many years as musician and back up singer Lisa Edwards also is a lead singer when not touring with john and does song angels with john as well You get to see the real john personality in this one I'm not sure but you may already have watched it
Hi David, They weren't married 😂 Venettas last name is Fields, and Lindsay's is Field (without the s). Doesn't matter. Their voices are the absolute best 👌 😊
Haven't got to Angels yet either 😂 I've just done Part 5, which is on Age of Reason. Thinking of making Angels from 2003 with the funny Intro a reaction on its own though. Cheers Deb

I love this song and I love this rendition. Vanetta, Lindsay and of course John. WOW!!

Heavenly 😇
Venetta is in her 80s now and still gives singing lessons. ❤🎉
