That was a beautiful collaboration between father and son. Considering Jimmy is a walking legend in Australia, and the fact he let his son have the moment and kissed him. Pure fire.
I was in the choir sitting behind them on stage on this night. Their performance brought tears to my eyes and I am sure I wasn't the only one. A truly beautiful, touching rendition. We are privileged to have them here in Australia.
Wonderful, Jimmy held back for his son and David brought out the power for his dad - every father and son should feel this much love, closeness, honesty and commitment! 🫂👏😍
David cracks my butt on the today show with his innuendos about dad... every now and then he drops one! I live for those! Eg “yup there ain’t no second prize... my dad used to say...” LMAO!
Gerry and the Pacemakers wrote and sung this song in 1963. It's a beautiful song. I think they were "the Mersey beat" genre, it's still great to hear them sing it😊🇦🇺👣❤️
Can I just say - how… HAPPY I am to have stumbled across your channel. You bring my Joy, mate and you’ve become a daily habit I’m not breakin’ anytime soon - here in Melbourne, like most around this world.. we’ve had a lot to deal with .. to end my day with your brilliant reviews? It’s good for the Soul - cheers, mate 👍
I honestly hadn't seen this one before....and I'm just so glad I've watched it with you Nick. The kiss on David's shoulder was gorgeous and then on his cheek...which nearly made David laugh lol. I find I'm enjoying so many of our Aussie artists even more, if that's possible, because of your appreciation and sharing your knowledge. Bless you
I just LOVE ❤️ LOVE ❤️ LOVE these two at anything but this song. OMG that's one very proud 👏 papa. They really seam to be a very close & loving ❤️ family
Thanks for giving me the chance to reacquaint myself with the awesome Mr Barnes. I grew up in Australia as a teen in the 70's-80's. I knew and liked Cold Chisel (as it was the band lead by Jimmy but still a group not just him) though I wasn't a huge fan, I spent many nights in the front row of a pub crowd dancing and singing to the band of the day (Radiators, Angels, Mentals etc). I love Jimmy doing stuff like this and the more Ballard type songs, not so much the heavy ones (I won't say screaming). I got the shivers though when David did that big note, with the added touch of Jimmy being so obviously a proud dad. The same goes for John Farnham, I did love him as a singer when he and I were much younger. He did seem a bit dorky in his very young days though. Plus I was in the school choir and we had to sing his song "Raindrops are falling on your head" for a concert and I got so sick of it. Really most of the 70/80's aussie singers were top blokes, rather down to earth and didn't really take themselves or anyone else very seriously. Jimmy and John are huge in this, they are just great guys that love to sing and do it really really well.
HOLY SHIT.. Ive never seen this & as a massive Liverpool supporter i always get emotional with this song.. Got to sing this when Liverpool came to Adelaide with my parents, we were arm in arm.. My parent came here as 10 pound poms from Liverpool.. Such a inspirational song.. RIP to the now 97 who died in/from the Hillsborough disaster.. YNWA97

David sings quite a bit of musical theatre songs - beautifully. Great seeing father and son sing wonderfully together and especially the kiss on the cheek and smiling at the end 😊💞
My day just keeps getting better and better, another favourite. John Farnham also blows this out of the park. Thankfully 3 of your favourite are also mine. Jimmy, John and Guy.🎵🎼🎶
Wow ..didn't know jimmy had a son who can SINGGGGGG...WOW ...his vocals !!!!! JImmy looks like he's gonna burst something and have a literally have a heart attack. I love Jimmy ..love Jimmy so much ...Jimmy's vocals ...the best.
Love this rendition. Probably my favourite. They are so bloody awesome together. I've only heard this sung by guys - Gerry and the Pacemakers & a few others and of course hundreds of Liverpool football fans. One amazing version is from 2013 by fans at football match in Melbourne. Everyone was singing it, both Liverpool fans and Aussie fans...awesome
Carols does this thing where for $5 you can go watch the rehearsal the night before. I was there and only David showed up to rehearse. They kept this beautiful performance between father and son a surprise and it was so smart because I remember getting literal chills watching it live on tv the next night. Agree with all the comments definitely check out Farnham’s performance of this at Carols too.

@@stanroach2842 wow, not back then it wasn’t! I’ve been out of the country for 12 years but we always went every year before that and it was free for many years then became a $5 thing. Had no idea it had gotten this expensive
Thank you for playing our great talent here in Australia, their is one feamale singer she is amazing her name is Renee Geyer, my favourate song is, its is a mans mans world,. Sadly she passed away last year. Please can you have a listen to her voice
This song was written by Rodgers and Hammerstein for their stage play Carousel, nand was performed by Christine Johnson in the original Broadway production then reprised by Jan Clayton later in the show. The first hit single release was by Frank Sinatra in 1945.
Carol's by Candlelight is a Christmas eve tradition at the Myer music bowl which is an outdoor stadium in one of Melbourne's beautiful parks. All donations go to the Blind association.
Woot, you finally see it! Hope you enjoyed them sing their backsides off. Full range on show. I remember seeing this many years ago. It's a Christmas special in Melbourne every Christmas Eve. Made up of lots of music stars that make the pilgrimage to sing and attend it.
I really want to see your face when you see Jimmy Barnes live with Marcia Hines singing her biggest cover hit Fire And Rain. It is all low key and subtle and shows both of their low range beautifully. Pure Soul.
This is a moving song at the best of times but to listen to this father and son sing this knowing their background was wonderful. They sound great together. I like your review of this. That they find joy through music after the long time they had no contact is a beautiful thing.
OH MY ! It's Jimmy and David Again and I could listen to these boys 24/7/365 every day...all day...all the time . Well I'm fixing to lose my cool again and I have to say that it's the best way to lose your cool that I've ever found and I'd recommend it to anyone that has any Knowledge and respect for simply Ass kicking music .
The song was actually written in1945 for the musical "Carousel" and was hit in the 60's for Gerry and The Pacemakers. Their version is very good and the one I first ever heard. And is theme song for the Liverpool Football club in England. But this version is awesome.
Celtic FC in Glasgow sing it as well. The clubs have an unofficial relationship that has meant they've made a point to play each other a fair bit in testimonials, friendlies, pre-season matches etc... over the years. It's pretty amazing having both sets of fans singing the same team song.
Was thinking of the version that John did for the east timor troops, that whole Tour Of Duty "concert" was amazing as it ended up raining but all the artists stayed and carried on performing
One of these days you need to discover the early Bee Gees in Australia before they became international stars. They were child stars in Australia and so I grew up with them on TV. There biggest hit in those early days was Spicks and Specks. You will find they were very different but just as good before Saturday Night Fever. Their first hit that became an international hit was I started a Joke which went to number 1 in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. It is still my favorite Bee Gees song. Australia remained home for them, and when Robin Gibb was dying, the last song he recorded with his fading voice was Sydney, in which he sings about missing those times growing up in Sydney and how the brothers were together. There is a video of the song in which it shows video and photos shot in Sydney and Queensland with family, going to the beach etc. It is a very emotional good bye song. Spicks and Specks filmed flying back to the city from a remote country airport: th-cam.com/video/rBF6u_Qt-A0/w-d-xo.html I Started A Joke 1968 color: th-cam.com/video/jrg1UAixGaM/w-d-xo.html Robin Gibb. His last recording as he was dying, Sydney (50 St Catherine’s Drive). The words “I close my eyes, I am back in Sydney, My brothers and I” brings tears to the eyes: th-cam.com/video/-XEMsy1BdSg/w-d-xo.html
No it wasn't. It was written by Rogers & Hammerstein for the 1945 American Stage production of Carousel......Jerry & the Pacemakers did it as a cover song.
Love your reaction… David is very much Jimmy’s son in likeness and talent. If Jimmy got a hair cut and put a suit on in his younger years, then would be a spitting image of each other.
I believe this was Christmas Eve, 24th December, 2005. (At the Myer Music Bowl as always). Mahalia appeared as well. David Campbell was born, 6th August, 1973 and Jimmy was born 28th April, 1956. (David was born when Jimmy was 16). Sooo... in this video, David would have been aged 32 and Jimmy would have been aged 49. As at September, 2023, David is and Jimmy is 67 and David is 50. James Dixon Barnes (né Swan; born 28 April 1956) is a Scottish-born Australian rock singer. His career, both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist with the rock band Cold Chisel, has made him one of the most popular and best-selling Australian music artists of all time. Jimmy's 4 years older brother John Archibald Dixon Swan born in 1952, also had a career in music and in the band Swanee. His well known record was Bobby Darin's 'If I Were A Carpenter'. Jimmy's was 5 years old when his family arrived in Australia in 1962. His mother Dorothy, remarried a clerk named Reg Barnes, who died on in September 2013. Jimmy adopted the name Barnes, after his stepfather. Jimmy is a practising Buddhist. He is brother-in-law to fellow musician and long-time collaborator Diesel, who married his wife Jane Barnes' sister Jep in 1989. In November 1979, Jimmy Barnes met Jane Mahoney (born 1958 as Jane Dejakasaya in Bangkok, Thailand), the stepdaughter of an Australian diplomat. (2 years younger than Jimmy). They married in Sydney 2 years later, on 22 May 1981 and 9 years after David Campbell, Jimmy's first son was born, Jane gave birth to their first child, Mahalia, (named after American singer, Mahalia Jackson), on 12 July 1982. They have 4 children (Mahalia, born July 12, 1982 (age 40), Eliza-Jane, born December 22, 1984 (age 38), son Jackie Barnes, born, February 4, 1986 (age 37) and Elly-May, born May 3, 1989 (age 33). has cerebral palsy) youngest. He has a total of 7 children-4 with his wife Jane , one with Kim Campbell (a previous relationship-David Campbell) and in 2010, already a father to 5, Jimmy found out that he actually had 2 more daughters with 2 different women (Amanda Bennett and Megan Torzyn), who were in their mid-30s at the time. They contacted Jimmy about their paternity, leading him to take a test, confirming he was their father. Funnily enough, Amanda was born in 1973, the same year as his other son David Campbell. David Campbell was raised by his maternal grandmother, Joan, believing her to be his mother. He only found out that his ‘sister’ was his real mother when he was 10 years old and that Jimmy, whom he believed to be a 'family friend', was his father. When David was born, it was decided that Kim's mother was going to adopt David and she brought him up. Jimmy said, "I wasn't capable of doing it anyway, I was 16 and I was completely out of control," he admitted. "By the time I was ready to really be a parent, it was many, many, years later but I always knew I had a son and I would go and visit. I wasn't allowed to say I was his dad because the grandmother just wanted to protect him, I guess but it was really difficult."

I really wanted him to react to this, but never requested it - so thanks, from me too! haha
Thanks Darren, that was a good one.
I sent him this via Insta. Get chills everytime
Great request mate!
Nice one Dazza
Classic moment when Barnsey acknowledges David's high note with a kiss. Powered by Vegemite!

That kiss of a proud dad kills me everytime

For a father to do this with his own is simply beautiful.
I love that Jimmy was so proud of his son, that he kissed him. How sweet.
I could watch David hit that high note and Jimmy’s reaction to it, over and over again. It makes me smile every time.
Brilliant !!!!
Love these two singing together.
David and Jimmy are two completely different artists but when they get together it is pure magic! Father and son musicality at it’s best! ❤
When David first hits that last note, it sounds like Johnny Okeefe at the start of Shout.
You might be aware of this, but David Campbell starred as Johnny O’Keefe in the musical, ‘SHOUT!’
It was an incredible performance.
@@jessicab2202 : Wow. I did not know that.
Wow, yes it does!! Now waaaaaaiiiiiiiiiittttt a minute!! Adelaide cheers!
I love to see you 'fanboying' about Jimmy, David and Mahalia. Their voices are amazing 🥰
OMG this was awesome!!! David hitting that note and Seeing how proud Jimmy is of David was the best part!!!!
Wonderful, Jimmy held back for his son and David brought out the power for his dad - every father and son should feel this much love, closeness, honesty and commitment! 🫂👏😍
Wow ! Wow! WOW! What a Magic Moment For Jimmy and his Son David . Never ever forget love !
David cracks my butt on the today show with his innuendos about dad... every now and then he drops one! I live for those! Eg “yup there ain’t no second prize... my dad used to say...” LMAO!
I love the relationship between those two! It’s such a warm relationship and it’s wonderful to see because it wasn’t always like that with those two!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
First time hearing this, never knew David could sing so well. Thanks for sharing.
Gerry and the Pacemakers wrote and sung this song in 1963. It's a beautiful song. I think they were "the Mersey beat" genre, it's still great to hear them sing it😊🇦🇺👣❤️
Actually incorrect Sue. Never Walk Alone is from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. It was covered by Gerry & The Pacemakers in 1963.

Jimmy's 4 years older brother John Archibald Dixon Swan born in 1952, also had a career in music and in the band Swanee. His well known record was Bobby Darin's 'If I Were A Carpenter'. Jimmy's was 5 years old when his family arrived in Australia in 1962. His mother Dorothy, remarried a clerk named Reg Barnes, who died on in September 2013. Jimmy adopted the name Barnes, after his stepfather. Jimmy is a practising Buddhist.

In November 1979, Jimmy Barnes met Jane Mahoney (born 1958 as Jane Dejakasaya in Bangkok, Thailand), the stepdaughter of an Australian diplomat. (2 years younger than Jimmy). They married in Sydney 2 years later, on 22 May 1981 and 9 years after David Campbell, Jimmy's first son was born, Jane gave birth to their first child, Mahalia, (named after American singer, Mahalia Jackson), on 12 July 1982. They have 4 children (Mahalia, born July 12, 1982 (age 40), Eliza-Jane, born December 22, 1984 (age 38), son Jackie Barnes, born, February 4, 1986 (age 37) and Elly-May, born May 3, 1989 (age 33). has cerebral palsy) youngest. He has a total of 7 children-4 with his wife Jane , one with Kim Campbell (a previous relationship-David Campbell) and in 2010, already a father to 5, Jimmy found out that he actually had 2 more daughters with 2 different women (Amanda Bennett and Megan Torzyn), who were in their mid-30s at the time. They contacted Jimmy about their paternity, leading him to take a test, confirming he was their father. Funnily enough, Amanda was born in 1973, the same year as his other son David Campbell. David Campbell was raised by his maternal grandmother, Joan, believing her to be his mother. He only found out that his ‘sister’ was his real mother when he was 10 years old and that Jimmy, whom he believed to be a 'family friend', was his father. When David was born, it was decided that Kim's mother was going to adopt David and she brought him up. Jimmy said, "I wasn't capable of doing it anyway, I was 16 and I was completely out of control," he admitted. "By the time I was ready to really be a parent, it was many, many, years later but I always knew I had a son and I would go and visit. I wasn't allowed to say I was his dad because the grandmother just wanted to protect him, I guess but it was really difficult."
