You know all these videos you watch are in Jimmy's home studio, just think how many great artists have come to visit jimmy and sing, what a great life he has created for him and his family 🙏
There's a whole series of these interviews on here. I never saw it at the time because it was on pay TV. The dude in the booth is an old mate of mine. I knew he worked as an in house sound engineer for Jimmy and whoever showed up at his place, but I didn't know about this series because it wasn't worth mentioning to him. The interviews tend to be about first gigs. I've enjoyed the ones I've seen, and forgiven my mate for not telling me! Their voices together, fake American accents and all sound great! 🌻
Yeah, when I started chasing it down so I could source the video properly I found it was a whole series of shows and interviews. Haven't found the full shows but I found several of the duets that I'm going to play.
Molly was famous for mumbling and saying “um” on repeat, but I don’t recall him having an accent too different from anyone else. Having said that though, his voice is easily recognisable.
@deepcutsreactions7774 Marcia Hines is a superstar.....and a lovely lady. She came to Oz as a 16 year old and stayed 🎉🎉🎉🎉 She's been in stage shows of Hair, Jesus Christ Superstar on the 70's. Had heaps of hits. Still touring in her twilght years. She was a judge on many of our TV singing shows too. I hope you check her out.
@@deepcutsreactions7774 She grew up in the US, came to Australia at 16 to play Mary Magdalene in JC Superstar, got pregnant and stayed. She became a huge star here in the mid to late 70s (she was voted Queen of Pop 3 years running) and I'm sure I wasn't the only Australian teenage male who fell in love with her.. well, had impure thoughts about her is probably more accurate. She was a hell of a singer.
Australian accents don't vary all that much by region (other than the Queensland draawl... which is just a slightly longer version of the Australian drawl... and every sentence sounds like it's being asked as a question.) The main differences come from socio-economic class division/distance from the nearest capital city, and so we only get 3 somewhat boring categories of accent, those being broad, general, and cultivated. Molly has a largely unremarkable general/slightly broad aussie accent to my ears.
I remember seeing Countdown as a kid but it mostly crap stuff in my opinion. But for mainstream crowds it covered what was deemed popular on main radio stations back in the 70's and very early 80's. Never given much thought to Molly Meldrum voice but he sounded relatively normal to me. I think his real first name was Ian. Maybe he was born in England but I doubt it. I think back in the 50's and early 60's there was a habit of presenters on tv and radio to speak in the so called Queen's English. But that seem to have gone by time I was born I was growing up in the 70's and 80's. I think the people born in early part of last century were first and second generation of people of Australia after Federation so before that, all the states were considered part of a British Empire. I assume they were called colonies before Australia became federated in 1900 or 1901. So those generations may have been more inclined to feel themselves, not just as Australians but also maybe part of the British Empire. Especially for those generations that went through the First World War. Lots of those generations still alive in the 50's and 60's so it makes sense tv presenters and sports presenters may have tried to portray thinks a little like a British style. But in my time of living most Australians sound the same. Someone from West Australia sounds no real different to my ears except for a few exceptions. South Australians have a slight twang to their voice but mostly the same. But you Americans have some very different accents from north to south. The funniest is to hear the deep southern parts of your nation. Especially Mississippi. Those people do not sound human to my ears. Sound like cartoon characters. Jimmy Barnes, even to this day still keeps much of his Scottish accent he had as a kid. But obviously only notice it when he talking.

Your next one Greg should be Jimmy and Marcia Hines doing a rendition of fire and rain= mesmerising indeed 👍🏻
I saw that one but I didn't know who she is.
She has an amazing voice and has been around as long as barnesy👍🏻
And the way she is mesmerised by jimmy’s vocals singing in such a low range will bring a smile to your face no doubt👍🏻
