    John’s audiences at his concerts pester him to still sing Sadie all these years later. It is so funny when he protests. He tells them to “Nick off”. Love him.

    John was 17 when he recorded Sadie.
    He had been a Plumbers Apprentice up till 2 days before this was released. He gave up his apprenticeship. This song was Number 1 all over Aus. In My Room was the 'B' side to Sadie & was written by John. It should've been the single he released. You can already hear his pure ability at this young age. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺💕

    Oh my gosh, it's John who hates being called Johnny, lol. He had a real crappy manager in the beginning, who just wanted to promote him as the clean cut kid, singing songs for the oldies (that kind of thing was very popular at time though). Calling him Johnny, the suits, the cutsie songs, it was hard for him to break away from that, but you'll see all that in the film. Loved your reaction to this, you're the best. ❤

    Sadie was John’s first hit. He was about 17/18. In my room is a song John wrote all those years ago. It was the B side for Sadie. He is a legend. He changed his name to John when he became a grown up contemporary singer and left the pop star behind.

  • @karenstrong8887
    @karenstrong8887 Год назад +14

    No one calls him Johnny, he had a horrible manager named Darryl who didn’t know anything about managing or music. He chose what he wore and what he sang for 9 years until John fired him. John was taken to London at the same time Olivia took off but his manager was too drunk to go to meetings with studio’s.
    Yes, I saw the advanced screening for Mother’s Day and I knew most of it but still got some surprises. It was much harder to hear it from John’s side or the people who were closest to him. I will buy it the day it is released on DVD. It is hard to watch, easy to watch, happy and sad but it made John or it let him find his voice so aptly named. I have never heard a movie theatre applaud at the end until this one, take tissues.
    I know as a young teen it was not cool to like Sadie. Old ladies and kids still took it to number one in less than a week. Same with Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head, Underneath The Arches and One. I think only three of those went to number one. The song he sings after Sadie in this, In My Room, John wrote and from what I can get from things I have heard he wasn’t allowed to record it. America and England would only share the bad covers for him to choose. He really couldn’t get a break. John always wrote songs but that was taken away too. Until Burn For You.
    He turned 18 the year Sadie hit number one. I know when John appeared I loved the Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Righteous Brothers, Procal Harem etc. Sadie didn’t fit so I didn’t love him at first but I did listen to him when my friends weren’t there. Not sure why I cared what they thought but I loved all music and probably way more songs from my parents and grandparents day. My youngest is adopted from Korea and she won a big singing contest. Singing one of John’s songs that I didn’t know was his until she told the audience on stage. It was Please Don’t Ask Me which was a solo but I love him singing it with Livvie.
    I am not going to ruin anyones viewing of this movie. I just thank God for Jill, Glenn and Gaynor Wheatley but I did before I saw it.
    John will sing Sadie or he did about twice in concert because people still love it. It is faster and shorter now and it is fun to see back then. He is only three and a half years older than I am. He has always felt like another brother and family. That is also who he is. Look for early interviews, you won’t believe some are John. I have found lots on here. I am happy you like Sadie because I have heard other reactors say if they heard that first they would never have listened to anything else he sang. Thank you.

    John fought hard to shake off that teen idol clean cut cutsie Johhny image. It was so bad that when he tried to transition from teen idol to adult contemporary artist, no record label would touch him. The writer of his most famous song You're the Voice actually refused to let him record it. John went ahead and recorded it anyway and It was his manager who motgaged his own home to produce Whispering Jack Album ...which went on to become the highest ever selling album in Australia.
    And with that John was finally recognised as the amazing talent that he is. We all support his need to be John and not Johnny. ❤❤❤

    Sadie The Cleaning Lady was John’s then known as Johnny he isn’t big fan of his debut single . His recording company’s EMI house producer requested that Johnny to record it . John was only 18 . At that time it was a blessing for him Sadie was smash hit his first number 1 single . Sadie ended up being highest selling Australian domestic single of the 60’s & still remains John’s 3rd highest selling single after Age Of Reason & You’re The Voice .
    John is little embarrassed about Sadie and teases his fans that he not going to sing it at his concerts ..
    Sadie had also a negative haunting affect on John’s career as well by the industry not taking John seriously EMI made Johnny an ultra commercialised manufactured crossover novelty pop , pop and big band singer until 1975 when he drop by EMI after the hits started to dry up because he married 1973 and lost the eligible bachelor image . Johnny after 1975 was doing stage shows , sing whatever was the popular songs was at that time on variety television and doing the cabaret club circuit with really bad house bands just to try to stay in the public eye . But wasn’t being stimulated musically until he joined the Wheatley Organisation new management with Little River Band and Australian Crawls manager Glenn Wheatley that pulled him out of the slum 1980 got a band for John who dropped the Johnny of John for more mature and image . Graham Goble founding member of the Little River Band was a fan of John’s and wanted a new outlet for his songs that he wrote that in a too high of key for LRB’s singer Glenn Shorrock to sing so Graham wrote most of the tracks for John comeback album Uncovered that also featured John’s rearrangement of the Beatles classic Help which returned John to the charts first time in 6 years 2 years latter John was asked to joined LRB after Glenn Shorrock left the band .
    John had 4 tough years with LRB John left the band in 1986 taking manager Glenn Wheatley and wiz keyboardist David Hirschfelder with him to make Whispering Jack the album broke all Australian records and made John a legend.
    The second song In My Home is a Farnham original John first song that written that was published . John was trying to establish himself as a singer songwriter but EMI and his early management kept him to busy at that time for John to advance on his own songwriting.

    Johnny Farnham was what he was known as and it does cover why he doesn't like it in the movie, but the long and the short of it was he was always knocked back as a singer after that hit in 1967 when he became the King of Pop. He was known for that hit and yet he personally didn't want to sing that song in the first place. Regardless when he wanted to do YOU'RE THE VOICE, the owner of the song didn't want him to record it because the only song he ever heard of with John was Sadie. So you can appreciate why he quickly changed his image by changing his name slightly.

Richard Marx (Canadian singer/songwriter) accompanies on the piano. It always tugs at my heart-strings. Much love from Australia. 💕

    17 when he started his pop carrer and as he got older he wanted to be known as John to be taken seriously as an artist hates being called Johnny. Sadie was his first song. Yes 007 vibe definitely. John doesn't read anything about himself or watch any of his performances or interviews and want watch the new Documentary but his sons Rob x James did say perhaps in the future they would try and get him to watch it with them. You can only watch the documentary at the moment in Australia in cinemas then I think it will be on Australian TV then hopefully DVD for everyone outside of OZ at some point. 🇬🇧 Farnsey Fan great reaction thank you.

    John's boys said dad want watch it he doesn't watch anything
    Thats because he's humble person and just glad he can make people happy
    The announcer was saying about John being a plumber as he was apprentice plumber but gave singing ago
    If you go.back to.either help.or voice with Melbourne sympathy orchestra you'll hear the crowd screaming something before he starts it Sadie their screaming for
    He said in interview that he didn't hate the song as it got him.his start
    But he likes to stir up the audience by not singing it and when he does after they pester him.he calls them a pack of bastards even his band and backing singing
    Get stuck into sometimes to sing it he always sings it in the show somewhere from memory I could be wrong
    Also he doesn't like being called johnny I think it reminds him of this time
    He prefers John or as public named him.farnsey same Jimmy know as barnsey
    So when they sing together it farnsey and barnsey
    Cheers mate

    That was hilarious - you were hilarious - Johnny was hilarious. I’d never seen this clip before; we didn’t receive commercial television back then where we lived but Mum listened to commercial radio and she loved this and I had to listen to it. It was a celebration of working class women I guess; in lieu of decent wages. I imagined as a 7 yr old that this would be my life as I did most of the chores, meanwhile Johnny had no control over his career. I think things are better for artists now but I’m not sure.

    John was about 18 when he released this. You have got to realise that this song, along with some other decisions made for him by his first, stupid manager, cost John his career. Glen Wheatley came along and thankfully re-established his career in the 80’s. Part of his rebirth was dropping the name ‘Johnny’ to John. You REALLY need to try to get hold of a copy of his movie so you can understand why you would now not call him Johnny.

    His old moniker as Johnny was what he desperately tried to get away from as it was what was holding back his musical career. It was seemingly childish and made everyone see him as a mere child trying to sing in the big boy world and they couldn't take him seriously.
    So he became John and only John lol.
    There was and still is a time where only children are called Johnny, Bobby, Ricky and many others.
    However as you know it is childish in itself to think that way as many adults love to be called those names.
    But in show business, one must take on an adult sounding name to make it anywhere and be taken seriously by the masses.

    Please don’t call him Johnny!! He hated being call Johnny he detested it.. That was his manager doing at the time. He really had a hard time going from Johnny to John people just wouldn’t let go of the Johnny etc. John is his name and that’s what he wanted to use in the first place. He was 17 when he recorded Sadie. Love Sadie he makes out that he hates it but truly he loves to sing it.. and we love it when he does.. John won’t be watching it he son said that he’s dad has never watched any of his concerts, interviews etc etc he just doesn’t like watching himself. But Gaynor Wheatley ( wife of Glenn Wheatley) said she is going to make him watch it he needs to watch it.. so many people have seen the documentary movie over last weekend with
    premiere and special screening because of Mother’s Day and have said it’s great but take your tissues.. 🧐😊🇦🇺
