I love your reactions so so much - full of happiness, smiles and instant love. I am in tears every time I hear this song; Lennon screaming out for help. Both John's open their hearts and the love shines forth.

    This man is one of the best male singers of all time. He can master every genre there is. His is one in a million. He should have been more notised world wide. But with RUclips he has gotten so much attention. And that is what he deserves. His voice is still absolutly amazing at the age of 73.

    John Farnham is Australian. Born in England, he migrated to Australia with his parents when he was a child and became an Australian citizen later on. John is rock royalty in Oz and is known as "The Voice," after his song, "You're The Voice", was a hit around the world. "Help", is a special song as he had a down time in his singing career and this song was his comeback single. He puts his Soul into it because he did appreciate the help from his fans and his manager to make his career a resounding success. He's been a performer for 6 - 7 decades and has a vocal range from A2 to G5 - 6 and a bit octaves. Always watch John LIVE as he is charismatic, a mike master, has an aura of fantastic energy which his audience loves and goes with. And he is quite humble and funny. We love him. We hope that you will, too.

    So first of all, glad you have found our John, who is now in his 70's and still sings like that. Second of all, he is an Aussie, even tho born in England and migrated here as child. He is a living legend here in Oz and we love him to pieces 😄His career began in Melbourne in the late 60's and truly blossomed into legend status in the 80's with You're The Voice . His live performances are stunning and he known for his sense of humour, kindness and generosity. An all around great Aussie bloke. 💖

    You're the voice by John Farnham, Australia's 2nd anthem. He's a brit born Aussie that has touched so many hearts in New Zealand as well. Just an awesome live performer, who loves his fans. You never get tired of hearing him belt those songs out.
    I went to a small concert he did in Auckland NZ only a few years back, his voice has not changed. He's in his early 70's now and keeps saying it's time to retire then next thing he is on that stage again.

His band & singers are awesome and his passion & humour & exhilaration are the best. 110,000 people there wish I'd been one of them. John might have been born in the UK but he's Assie through & through 😊

    John Farnhams "You're The Voice" is a world wide hit. Have a listen to it.
    If you really want to give your ears a treat you need to hear "Its a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll"
    Search "Tom Jones and John Farnham at the Logies 1993" on YT.

    Everyone in Australia knows those words backwards and can sing them in their sleep. Also the words to "You're the Voice" equally so. He has a tone of songs from so many genres and he sings them all brilliantly. There's a long, long, long list of songs that he has sung - find them all, and you'll be absolutely blown away by the massive range of stuff he can sing from classical and music theatre, to ballads, to country, to rock, to pop, to down and dirty soul and blues. And he sings them ALL amazingly well in their genre, particularly for an audience. For this reason (and I know there's a lot of great singers out there, but...) he's the best singer on earth! But one tip - ALWAYS listen to him live. He sings well in a studio too, of course, but he brings it on for the crowd. He is a born performer. ALWAYS listen to him lives. Studio is great, but live is absolute MAGIC.

None absolutely none and not even close! It's true the greatest singer in the world for decades belonged in Australia and the rest of the world didn't even no! They do now!!

    I remember when I was in Australia, the first time in -94....and, if I remember it correctly this song, Men at works "Down Under" - as well as a[n unhealthy? ;-)] dose of the songs of ABBA were pretty much the "soundtrack" during the journey! ;-)
    (It was the first time I got the phrase "....Vegemite sandwish"! Lol! And by the way, since I'm from Sweden I felt rather proud that you knew about ABBA...;-) ).
