@@Anothercoverlover62 Oh, Stevie Ray could shine!! You got anybody who can cover Lynyrd Skynyrd? "Freebird", "They call me the Breeze"? Just wondering cuz Stevie Ray used to hang out with them in the day!
This on a TV series called the "Farnham and Byrnes Show". showcasing John and also featured another Australian talent Karen Byrnes would have been 1979-80ish. This was at the end of his "teen pop" fame, not too long before joining LRB.
Another song John covered of Stevie Wonder’s is Love’s in Need. John and his band do an accapella version. It is just awesome. Hope you can do that one too.
@@micheleallen thank you for watching Michele! I did Loves in need but I don’t remember if it was JF. I’ll check and if not I’ll put it on the list. Thank you again!!
@@Anothercoverlover62 Did you find your Loves In Need reaction? I couldn't find it. They actually performed together (unplanned and unrecorded) at a Stevie Wonder concert here in Australia. John was with Little River Band and were Stevie's support act and Stevie was so impressed with John, that he had him sing with him on the last night. Then in 1987 he was at a John Farnham concert and joined him on stage to sing Amazing Grace with him. This is a fantastic song by both legends ♥️♥️
....and here in a nutshell is why many of us (of a certain age) ignored Farnham's talents for a long time. Real rock bands ruled the live venues and we scorned this kind of gaudy TV display. But he won us all back and I don't think you'd find an Australian who'd have a bad word about him.
@@stevelayton1271 not so far I haven’t In fact I didn’t know how revered he was when I did my first reaction. I got a lot of anger of who I chose to do the other song But I haven’t learned my lesson yet as I tend to go my own way!!!
@@Anothercoverlover62 do what you love and love what you do. If only I could follow my own advice I'd be a happy man. I really appreciate how you always interact with your followers.
I really enjoy this channel and talking to the people who enjoy it! I hope you keep back brother! I look forward to what I have request for upcoming. People have real good taste!
Awww, thanks ACL - You just cheered me up even further with this song choice 😊 An absolute classic song by Stevie Wonder and a killer performance by Farnsey ❤ It might be an acquired taste, but I love the video clip by John. It has Rocky Horror vibes, which I know isn't for everyone, but for me it is heaven 😅 John is so adorable in it and I like the constant rhythm of the dancers, almost hypnotic... he hits some crazy notes in there too!! This one is a bit before my time but I believe it was from 1980 - someone correct me if I am wrong 😉 Thanks for this great reaction. John has an endless supply of covers for you to enjoy. Catch you in the next one ❤❤
@Anothercoverlover62 Thanks mate 😊 🤔 I mentioned this one before, but just in case it didn't make your list for John, please take a look at him doing John Lennon's Imagine with Ray Charles. I think you will love the collab. Will have a think about any more and let you know 😊❤
@Anothercoverlover62 For something a little different, John covers himself with a swing version of You're The Voice. A bit outside the box, but I would still class that as a cover 😅
I have never seen this video of John either. It would be in the seventies. And at this time John was smoking 2 packs of twenties. Later in his career, when he gave it up, his voice just went ballistic ! As for comparing the two versions. It's like asking someone whether breathing above water is better than breathing below water. Neither, they are both incomparable and both satisfying.
@@iceberg5220 thank you Ice! My hope is eventually everyone will see this as not a competition but as a comparison on how to each performer approaches the material!
As a Aussie stevie wounder for me John's dictionary voice was great easy to understand But lacked the passion of stevie wounder Which is a rare thing to say about John as he always passionate You could see with this song he was young and still lerning his craft John sang with Ray Charles if your interested Im not sure if he did with stevie I'm sure plenty Aussie's will know if he did Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Ah yes, gotta love Australian TV in the late 70s/early 80s - there are some gems of dance to be found, for sure! Really enjoying your reactions, so thank you! There are plenty of covers by John if you're looking to hear more, which hopefully you are! A couple off the top of my head are 'That's Freedom' - John's version here: ruclips.net/video/e9PQtuqtysM/видео.html Original is by Tom Kimmel who is a singer/songwriter from the US, there are various version on RUclips. Another you might enjoy is classic Australian rock song 'When The War Is Over', cover by John here: ruclips.net/video/ubPdq0ejgpA/видео.html The original is by Australian band Cold Chisel, a version that I think people like is here: ruclips.net/video/x4Wwq9_zn_c/видео.html but I'm sure Cold Chisel fans will advise if there is a preferred version!
@@Saan42 thank you Saan! It’s nice to hear from you. I will certainly be doing more JF and the list is larger and larger! These are on the list and Thanks for watching!
It was from the Farnham and Byrne variety TV show in 1980. I had to shut my eyes to enjoy this one. Didn't like the choreography back then and like it even less now 😂😂. Poor John looks pike he has no idea what to do with himself amongst all those weirdos lol. But Johns vocal enterpretaion was great. Stevie Wonder can do no wrong in my books. His original is so good.❤❤ John has done many covers of Stevie over the years...as he was a huge Stevie fan. This one is For Once in my Life m.ruclips.net/video/awzT7t96S6E/видео.html
here is another song of John's you might like to react too, That's Freedom - 1990 - John - ruclips.net/video/zize0vNWon0/видео.html 1997 - Lisa Edwards Lindsay Fields & Joe Creighton - (Hey Hey It’s Saturday) ruclips.net/video/5aQPYcsy3s0/видео.html
@@jayneattherock1083 thank you Jayne I believe the first song is an original is that right? I only do covers on this channel I’ll certainly check the other out!
@@Anothercoverlover62 Original? well, one clip is of John singing - the clip link I gave is from a lesser seen Brisbane Concert - ( I think the first time we saw John doing this song was on Vizard show - (clip here ruclips.net/video/C00Qcl-4K0I/видео.html) ..... the other is 3 of John's Backing singers singing on Hey Hey - John is there, but couldn't sing that day has he had had a sore throat or something so his 'Back-up' sing instead - and it just shows how good they really are. I hope you get a chance to react to them, thankyou for replying - Jayne
Thanks Buddy!
@@rickandersen2284 thank you man!! I appreciate you!!
Good suggestion Rick❤❤
John says he loves Stevie Wonder
@@narellesmith7932 I believe it!
Never seen that before... AMAZING CLIP of JF... talented production too!
@@garyspeed8961 it was definitely good, if not odd!! Thanks for watching, Gary!
Glad you took the time to redo the video. They were definitely worth the listen/watch. Thank you. Take care.
🙏🙏🙏
@@jameshaberkorn8728 thank you James! I really wanted to watch him live but as long as I could get his voice I was happy doing it!
Stevie Wonder and Stevie Ray Vaughan are still so iconic with this but John Farnham hung right in there with the best!
@@nancyskomars1230 agreed Nancy!! I forget about SRV version of this. It looks like I need to maybe do another reaction….
@@Anothercoverlover62 Oh, Stevie Ray could shine!! You got anybody who can cover Lynyrd Skynyrd? "Freebird", "They call me the Breeze"? Just wondering cuz Stevie Ray used to hang out with them in the day!
@nancyskomars1230 I believe so
I’ve had requests so I’ll put these artist on if I haven’t already! Thanks Nancy
I remember watching 'Farnham and Byrnes' on TV back in the day, early 80's, Thankyou, of course Stevie's great, but John was just as great...
@@jayneattherock1083 thank you Jayne he is certainty amazing!!
Tq bro for your reaction also the lyric ... I'd like the second version by Jhon more energic and lively ... 👍
@@lindamuthia570 thank you Linda!! I liked them both but there is a lot to say about John Farnham!!
Thanks for watching!!

little 'typo' lol Debbie Byrnes, we know who you mean, ( Debbie Byrnes - Karen Knowles - both from Young Talent Team -)
I loved it but I’ll admit it was strange to this old guy
JF killed it on the vocals per usual!
Another song John covered of Stevie Wonder’s is Love’s in Need. John and his band do an accapella version. It is just awesome. Hope you can do that one too.

But musically he killed it!!!

Cheers!!
As a Aussie stevie wounder for me
John's dictionary voice was great easy to understand
But lacked the passion of stevie wounder
Which is a rare thing to say about John as he always passionate
You could see with this song he was young and still lerning his craft
John sang with Ray Charles if your interested
Im not sure if he did with stevie
I'm sure plenty Aussie's will know if he did
Cheers mate 🦘🇦🇺👍
Thank you David and cheers! Yes I believe I did Ray and John together. I’ll check but it should be close in date to the latest ones.
