I was right outsode that window watching him play this. Was at the australian open tennis event maybe 8 to 10 years ago, hence all the people walking past.
I love Irwin's singing no matter what song he does. But I need to comment regarding the comparison with The Beatles singing. They came from a time where they taught themselves everything, no lessons or teachers. Vocally they became the masters of very direct natural vocal delivery. The opposite of how everyone now thinks they are expected to sing today, because of all the American Idol, or The Voice, or whichever TV talent contest. Nowdays because of the TV shows, everyone thinks every word has to be embellished with runs up and down to give it 'soul'. It's a modern thing. John and Paul both had great range, could use all registers of their voice, and could both sing as hard or as soft as they liked, lots of different textures. If you ever get a chance to watch the videos of them live in Washington in 1964, you'll see they could sing just like the record with no autotune, monitors, or earpieces, basically deaf. With 10000 girls screaming constantly. Locked together and with complex harmonies. You should never discount The Beatles as vocalists.
Well said Scott, IMHO I've always thought a vocal melody line is written for a reason, to be sung. So if a singer is looking to embellish the melody line they need to respect the composition & do so in such a way that they enhance the melody & not distort it. John Farnham is a perfect example where he uses his extraordinary vocal gifts wisely to push the boundaries where needed but never going beyond them. Jon Anderson from Yes or Pavarotti rarely embellish their singing, when they do it is subtle, no one could say their music lacked soul.

This was probably on an early morning radio show.....very hard for musicians to have a clear voice at that time....except for Guy Sebastian lol all his early morning performances are off the charts lol imho....
Hi Nick Jack Jones has always had a smooth voice. Now for the other Jack, here’s one you might want to watch, John Farnham “ it’s a very funny video with him and his sings comic conversation ( jacks back tour ) it’s harlerious cheers
Big Guy - for your own listening pleasure, check out Jon Batiste's excellent solo performance of this from The Late Show 2016 on TH-cam. Music The Beatles wrote will be rediscovered, reinterpreted and outlive us all.

One of my all time favourite songs!!!! I’m crying watching this, so beautiful. Normally I don’t like covers of this song and this was exceptional x
I didn’t expect all those soulful runs. Love it!
Denis Walter has an impeccable voice. His every performance Melbourne's Carols by Candlelight is excellent. I like his Jerusalem
Is it just me or does it feel like Denis Walter never ages?
@@hollygranger3734 and his beautiful baritone voice is his speaking voice. Decades ago he a customer in a bar I worked at. Absolutely lovely man
Love this song, love this cover. Beautiful 😃
There will never be another Beatles ❤️
Totally love Irwin's version of this song

Good points!
Agree. I'm over the constant runs. For me, doesn't add to the song/performance.

They are doing that on an announcers mike too.
This song is about the civil rights movement of the 1960s, McCartney wrote it about the rise of equal rights for African-Americans.

You ain't heard nothing until you have a listen to Kenny Rankins version. Kenny is voice perfect.
