John Farnham and Olivia-singing together and showing the absolute respect-what a man is an older things women mean to him-simply two mates and Friends-showing the love and respect they have for each other as individuals-how wonderful and life-giving at is? Ain't no way in a health million years humans will ever experienced such a thing ever again?
Have just come across this ,my it stirred some beautiful memories. Lived in Australia for 20 odd years,had never heard of John until then, was asked by an Aussie neighbour to go with her to his concert as her hubby didn't want to go. Can honestly say it was one of the best live performances I ever saw. John had the most incredible voice,his range was off the planet and he had such a warm funny ,beautiful interaction with his fans. He was brilliant & I became a firm fan. This duet with the lovely soulful Olivia gave me goosebumps ,they were such great friends, a very special bond.❤
This is one of the most beautiful and most loving duets I've ever heard, one of the most beautiful love songs ever .Olivia and John superb performance, very expressive and heartfelt....so sad,God has called back Olivia, rest well our dearest Olivia.
Voices are like nothing else on Earth..Olivia you are with the Angles now..John so glad your Cancer free..Glorious ♋️ Thank you for the This Beautiful Song.. Gidday from Beautiful Bunbury Western Australia 🇦🇺 ❤😊❤
I totally agree. I was involved in the music scene over a long period (some 65 years in all) and have experienced many fine artistes and songs. There are many songs and singers I have judged to be very special - all of them making an indelible imprint on my wealth of memories. However, this “Please Don’t Ask Me” duet by Johnny and the beloved and late-Olivia is simply outstanding in every aspect and is an utterly fantastic legacy for all of us now and into the future to be particularly touched by, to wonder at and to cherish in our individual hearts.
Something worthwhile to say which I neglected to include in my earlier post was to acknowledge the role of the very fine pianist and his fellow-musicians in the accompanying orchestra; and the fine interpretation and direction given them by their Musical Director. Let’s not forget either the part played by the sound and lighting technicians and other support staff who all contributed in one way or another to this most memorable production. They are all top class and deserve an accolade for the part they played in this outstanding production. All involved are deserving of a special accolade.
@catherineharvey5556 Absolutely. Every. Single. Word. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. (and I mean your COMMENT here Catherine!) 🙋 Every, single, word of it is precise, perfect, right and from my very own mind & heart. (Surely from many others' as well.) Well said! . . . . 🎶👥🎶 💞 /😏___,,.
Me too! Fell in love with this song the first time I heard it in 2021 as part of a collection of love songs, but then I stumbled on this the duet, it is just on another level altogether. My favourite version of this beautiful ballad.
If that doesn't melt the hardest heart and bring a tear to the eye,......nothing will. Mr Goble, if you never write another song be satisied with this, pure bliss.
Damn, Johnny. Your picture frightens me, but you message melts MY heart. It is a wonderful composition and beautifully performed by these two Aussie icons.
Watching these two amazing singers and beautiful people I'm so happy we can view them However saddened by the loss of beautiful Olivia. RIP 🙏 sweet angel
The best ever version of "Please don't ask me", nothing can top this for me, don't know how many times I've come back to this to watch it, and still gives me shivers every single time. It's just so beautiful... the voices, the facial expressions, the movements, the touch, the sincerity, the chemistry - it's so unreal, it gives me shivers and goosebumps every single time, so so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
On my Oh my oh my the most stunning performance I love them both but John is my favourite. This song haunts me thankyou John and Olivia and thank you for posting this ❤️❤️😍😍
For me is this one of the greatest lovesongs and this version is so real.... I feel it everywhere in my body. The combination is one you never would expect but it works great. His voice is amazing.
....1st fell in love with Olivia in Grease back in 1978 when i was 12; i still adore her today!!! & john farnham, well what can i say, his voice always bring tears of joy to my eyes!
Stephen Marcus I cried!!! No Stephen I didn't know that Olivia sang the backing track on 'Hammerhead' by James Reyne. I would love to hear it !! Thank you Stephen!
daniel montalvo Thank you daniel - they are two special australian artists - they sang together at the 2000 Olympics so they know and have a great respect for one another and are very much loved by their fellow countrymen as wonderful artists and for being two very fine individuals. Have a great weekend ~ Lorraine :)
Oh wow, to hear this again brings back to many memories, my wife and I have been to so many John Farnham concerts including this one, The Main Event. Around 2007, I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend to perform this song with her at a couple of her concerts, we were both in tear every time we sang it. I was also asked, and persuaded by my wife, to sing it at her funeral in 2019, I barely made it through.
heard this song many years ago when I was young and living in Australia....just got to know his name last night after watching I am Celine Dion documentary. He is brillian!
Johnny has certainly held his title as "The Voice" in hearts all over the world. Olivia we love you- you brave beautiful woman ❤ These two lifelong friends - may they continue to make beautiful music together, forever.... xo
I have a gal pal, went out on a few coffee dates. We got to know each other more over the years. She knows how I feel about her, but she only wants to stay friends. I think this song reflects how her and I feel...

RIP Olivia. After years of battling cancer, gone today at only 73.We remain Hopelessly Devoted to you..
Indeed we do...
John Farnham's range is just insane! He's not human. His timbre and head tones are crazy impossible!

Beautiful song Mr. Goble..
The Main Event concert. John Fanrnham, ONJ and Anthony Warlow. One of the best concerts I've been to. The friendship was so evident.
The best ever version of "Please don't ask me", nothing can top this for me, don't know how many times I've come back to this to watch it, and still gives me shivers every single time.

Wow, this is amazing!!!! John's Voice is absolutely stunning and the way he looked at her♥️
Songwriter: Graeham George Goble...

A very sad and tragic song about a love you could not have... because you are not free anymore. One of my all time fave!
Olivia looks so beautiful! And talented too.
Such brilliant artists.
On my Oh my oh my the most stunning performance I love them both but John is my favourite. This song haunts me thankyou John and Olivia and thank you for posting this ❤️❤️😍😍

A very awesome song and the duet is superb! The lyrics of the song is really very touching.😅
Mr.Farnham is a great singer !

Oh wow, to hear this again brings back to many memories, my wife and I have been to so many John Farnham concerts including this one, The Main Event.
Around 2007, I was lucky enough to be invited by a friend to perform this song with her at a couple of her concerts, we were both in tear every time we sang it.
I was also asked, and persuaded by my wife, to sing it at her funeral in 2019, I barely made it through.
This is so beautiful
Two of my favorite Australians singing one of my favorite songs. Too bad ONJ has passed on already. RIP, Olivia.
i would hate to be their spouse seeing this, you would wonder if it was all an act it was performed to unbelievably beautifully :)
Jilly never had anything to worry about. John adored her and still does. John and Livie are the same age and were on stage here from an early age.
Beautiful ❤️❤️

Superb
John Farnham's Sad Expression Over Olivia Newton Johns Passing
I hate music, but crikeys, can somebody get the tingles out of me back!
damn!
That kiss at the end
There must be a ton of footage from this tour. Still a shame that only a highlights album as well. Should have been a double disc
I have a gal pal, went out on a few coffee dates. We got to know each other more over the years. She knows how I feel about her, but she only wants to stay friends. I think this song reflects how her and I feel...
I'm a guy and I just blushed.
