    John is the best male vocalist and performer of all time. His stage presence, unlimited range, appreciation for his band and fans and all round nice guy. His music is timeless, can sing in any genre, including opera, mic technique, everything. And there’s not many performers who can spin a corded mic around like nun chucks in perfect timing to keep signing and throw the mic stand in the air several meters as well as singing to perfection. Epic.

    Freddie Mercury said this man was the best male vocalist on the planet. He is/was absolutely correct!

      Yes! Funny just tonight I saw this vid for the first time, and was wondering the exact same - why Farnham doesn't seem to be known much outside of Australia. I never paid much attention to him when I was a kid, but catching up on some of his performances I'm realizing what a knockout live singer and presence he is. Some new faves - Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra singing 'Comic Conversations' - th-cam.com/video/KSic-_zaLEQ/w-d-xo.html , with the Little River Band 'Reminiscing' - th-cam.com/video/iYgh_Irk46M/w-d-xo.html and with Olivia Newton John 'Please Don't Ask Me' - th-cam.com/video/2uV_tZODfK8/w-d-xo.html . Wish I had seen him in concert!

    When men were men and we loved them for it. I miss Australian music voices, and the independent sounds each band had. I miss these amazing live performances that relied on talent rather than a theatrical production. Aussie music of the 80s and early 90s was the best. So were the band names: Skyhooks, Sherbet, Little River Band, Australian Crawl, Hoodoo Gurus, Yothu Yindi, Goanna, Midnight Oil, Boom Crash Opera, The Black Sorrows, Hunters & Collectors, INXS, Gangajang, Men at Work, Icehouse, The Little Heroes, AC/DC, The Church, Cold Chisel, Choir Boys, Noiseworks and many solo artists too. What does Australian have on offer now in 2021.... insert chirping of crickets....

    When this tune was released in 1969 John Farnham was known to me as "Johnny" Farnham and this song remains one of my all time faves since being introduced to his music and i say rock on Whispering Jack because you among many other loved ones iof mine in or out of music have a "temporary" hold of my heart. I must say in fairness to "Whispering Jack" he owns my very heart! Peace.

      Actually Harry Nillson recorded his own song first, but John Farnham actually recorded the song before Three Dog Night. Though worldwide their version is the most recognized.
      Though, if you hear the song in Australia, incl. the Three Dog Night version, most people would say "Who's that singing the John Farnham song?" 😁
