Love love love John ❤ Saw him in concert every time he came to Adelaide even when Stevie Wonder got on stage, a surprise for all of us, got some great sneaky photos, still have them. We miss you John. Jenny Adelaide South Australia.
Loved this reaction guys. I remember John singing 'Help' as I watched it on TV that night so so nervouse for him as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was in the audience and I know John's nerves would have been enormous. Just great to go down memory lane .
This was fantastic guys - thank you so much. 🙏 ❤ Your comments are wonderful and dont forget Tina Turner and others have covered Johns HELP, Fellipe. 🎉 John has sung it hundred's of times. Call him Farnsey Paul LOL!! ❤😂🎉 He was with a couple of small bands as a teenager while he was doing plumbing, thank God he had wonderful parents who supported him no matter what. Its ANZAC Day here in Australia 🇦🇺 today and its quite emotional remembering all of our Aussie and NZ men and women who we lost, who were injured and traumatised by war. Personally, I am remembering my Pop (WW1), my Dad and 6 Uncles who served in WWII. We are one of the fortunate, blessed families because they all came home to us without physical injury, but their traumatic experience and memories of mates getting killed never left them. I will share a part of the television footage later today. Actually I think I'll do a bit of a series on the history of the ANZACs at some stage if you would like. ❤🎉
That was great thank you. I would love to see some of Fellipe's illustrations, especially if you do one of John. Looking forward to the next one in this series...❤
@AussieDebb 👋 I was on my lonesome, but it meant I could focus on watching John...haha! Most times, I miss the live chats, so at least I was early for this one. I'm used to talking to myself 😁. I enjoyed it very much. I hope you had a good day at work. ❤️
There's another ledgen called jimmy barnes in Australia 🇦🇺 He was electrician or as we say sparky Him and john sang songs together as well they where friends and rivals at the time But no animosity between them both happy to see the other do well he's in the documentary speaking about john Look at you guys bringing out the Aussie humour Be hanging out with Aussie's to long 😂😂😂 Cheers fellas 🦘🇦🇺👍
The cool thing about John's version of this song is that we finally got to take notice of this song's beautiful lyrics. There are a lot of singers who now sing John's version. Most notably Tina Turner. Also this song was also a turning point for Johns career and in a way was an actual cry for help as at the time he his career had litterally "gone down the toilet" as Debbie said he was being held back by his Manager during that time. Around this time John had finally broken away from his "dodgy" manager, changed his name to the more grown up John and recorded the more contemporary album called Uncovered. He collaborated with Graham Gobles, (of The Little River Band) to produce the album the way he wanted it to be. Graham wrote the majority of the songs on the album especially for John, and Johns version of Help was included on the album along with a song John wrote for his wife called Jilly's Song. (Which is also a gorgeous little song) A couple of years later Gobles invited John to join the Little River Band to replace Glenn Shorrock as the Lead singer where he stayed for 4 years. And when he left the. He was finally ready to give his solo career as an adult contemporary artist a shot.....and Australias highest ever selling album Whispering Jack was recorded.. and John has never looked back since
Where is part one? Imagine if John ever had a voice lesson. He used to entertain his neighbours when he was a child with his younger sister. You do not understand. John became bigger than the Beatles here. Michael Jackson could not push him out of number one.
I was so glad to see what a great result those surgeons were able to create for John. If you haven’t seen photos yet, there’s one of John and Jill at their son’s recent wedding.

Apparently John was so nervous before the variety show he couldn’t speak and there was concerns he couldn’t go on 😂
I just love your reactions thankyou
I do remember Paul McCartney say Help was supposed to be a ballad.
There's another ledgen called jimmy barnes in Australia 🇦🇺
He was electrician or as we say sparky
Him and john sang songs together as well they where friends and rivals at the time
But no animosity between them both happy to see the other do well he's in the documentary speaking about john

Did you find Part 1 Karen? ❤
If he had they would have trained his uniqueness out of him.
Bridge Over Troubled Water is a Simon & Garfunkel song.
They are Jewish
If only he hadn’t smoked …
