The Australian Rugby League was going fully proffesional in the 80's. An incredibly popular product needed to go to the next level. A genius said "simply the best," captured the essence of the journey. They paid Tina a small fortune, but it was peanuts compared to the phenomenon it created. Adding Jimmy Barnes was the most natural next step. Whoever had the idea could never be paid enough.
absolutely!! I just posted above the whole journey and the other songs and versions she did before hand, it was such a massive deal. its still a footy anthem
Jimmy also covers Tina's hit 'River deep Mountain high' which is just as good. It's also shows how similar they are vocally like you said. Absolutely loving your current spotlight on our Aussie Artists 🇦🇺
Tina? it sounds like the Temptations or Supremes or some other Motown group. A bit like people thinking that Tina's version or Rolling on the River was the original :) it was a CCR song.
Roger Davies, an Australian took over the management of Tina in 1979 which lead to her greatest successes including Grammys Tina has had a terrific connection to Australia since then including starring alongside Mel Gibson in a Mad Max movie. Great soundtrack and more success for her including this duet for rugby league Australia. Cheers k
They complimented each other's voice so well, this duo was elite!! RIP QUEEN Tina one thing is for sure you were simply best in real life! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world 💙💙💙
It is so damn cool you spotted Diesel in there. You are really getting to know Aussie music royalty, ma man. Next up: Suze DeMarchi from Baby Animals. The grittiest female voice in Australia. Heh heh.
@@ThatSingerReactions not sure if you have heard of this band, Greta Van Fleet but I think after watching this you will have a new top 5 singer! Also thank you for making me smile and sometimes laugh every day.
@@ThatSingerReactions Mate as a lucky bugger that has discovered what we've known for decades in Australia and become a fan see if you can watch the following documentary on Jimmy and how Tina Turner was a massive influence on him in his youth. th-cam.com/video/Fr4HcjbUwak/w-d-xo.html It will give you a really good understanding of the man and his talents. A great entertainer and awesome singer, saw him many times live in concert in the late 80's and early 90's, once in Fanny's Nightclub in Newcastle (NSW) he passed me and my mate his botttle of vodka off the stage so we could swig out of it and gave it back to him......bloody awesome!!!
This duet is addictive lol. Thanks Tina Turner, for a lifetime of the best music and all the wanderful memories that went along with them .❤And Jimmy .
All those who worked with Tina on the NRL project, all spoke very highly of her. She was friendly, giving, down to earth and natural and all of course were in awe of her. Australia was very blessed to have had her in our lives, even just for a short time. Sad loss for the whole world.
You are right, Jimmy doesn’t scream but has belting power, such a great pairing and fantastic song, I remember when this version came out. Johnny Diesel is Jimmy Barnes’s brother-in-law.
His vocal range is phenomenal. He decides NOT scream. He feels what he’s singing & it’s every emotion. I love Jimmy Barnes. He’s symbolic of my childhood
Lol. Is that Johnny? Welcome to Aus, mate. Continue your Aussie journey with Linda and Vika Bull and then move on to the Black Sorrows. Try Kate Ceberano too. There is so much good music in Australia.
I've never heard anyone sing like Tina. It's as if she's singing for her life. Perfect pairing with Jimmy Barnes, a singer who can stand up to her vocals with ease. Spot on, the 'male and female equivalent of each other.'
Fascinates me, when you said, and I totally agree with you ,“ They sound like the male and female equivalent of each other.” Why in the world, including the USA is only discovering Jimmy recently ??? He’s been singing here in Australia since he was a teenager, his voice, now in his 60s, is as good and as strong as ever.
Quick history of this song. Originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler in 1988 as The Best, It was later covered by Tina Turner in 1989. The Turner cover has been used in many commercials. In 1992 Turner recorded this duet with Jimmy Barnes for the NRL which has since become the games anthem.
Close, it was the ARL back then (NRL was what came of the ARL and Superleague competing for 2 seasons and both struggling... similar to what'll probably happen in the US with the NFL and XFL).
@@bidblender8135 Well actually the first time it was used was in the expanded NSWRL competition between 1990 and 1995 before the ARL took control of the competition and the super leauge wars. It was rerecorded for the NRL in 2020 to celebrate 30 years since its first release. Sorry about the inaccuracies earlier.
Jimmy Barnes tells of sneaking in to see Ike & Tina Turner in Adelaide when he was a youngster. This would have been magic for him. As others have said this was fro a promo commercial for football, Australian Rugby League (now known as NRL). Tina had done two seasons campaigns previously, wonderfully successful campaigns still much loved. Well spotted on the Johnny Diesel appearance.
This Tina Turner hit & What u Get is What u see were both used as the NRL promo ads back in the day. Tina even sang Simply the Best at the grand final one year between Brisbane (Brizbin or Brizzy ) v the St George Dragons. Also as i was conceived, born & raised in the Great Southern Land & grew up with our pub rock genre. My mum loves Barnsy as well as Chisel but my dad reckons he screams too lol
@@Kazeemi2810 All good sweety! Always happy to help where i can, but that's just being an Aussie, we always look after our own even if we've never met. Take care hun, have a fantastic wknd, the weather has been beautiful, well on the Central Coast it has been.

We came outta mask wearing 2 weeks ago & then 5 days later we are back into mask wearing but we can still live normally.

Would love to visit one day but I'm scared of leaving NSW just incase i can't get home 🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for acknowledging Jimmy’s talent his voice has substance but my god Tina Turner is also an awesome talent I love watching her live!! She sounds the same and her performances beat any modern day entertainer, she rocked it!!
You said it bro, their voices compliment each other so well, both have rang and power with a bit of gravel thrown in there. This version gives me shivers when they hit those change ups.
Johnny Diesel was so young when he hit the stratosphere. He was already Jimmy Barnes brother-in-law, even in those early days. They married sisters. Wow, now there’s another generation making music!
Oh yeah :) your musicality is second to none man! Love how quickly you've gathered these Aussies into your 'soul family'...just awesome! Jimmy Barnes and Keith Urban do an amazing studio number as well.....
WOW! Not seen this before... I have had the enormous privilege of seeing Tina performing quite a few times when she toured the UK. The best live performer I have ever seen, she always gave every drop of sweat to her marvellous singing, dancing and sheer stage presence. Thank you, thank you, thank you..💐💐💐
I can't believe I forgot about this one until now. This song was huge when it came out. US Aussie love Tina such an amazing voice, definitely one of the best 💕 I was only a kid when this came out, she was the great singer ever, we all wanted to be just like her.
7:15 Loved you recognised Johnny instantly hahaha. Speaking of guitarists for Jimmy, please check out his lead guitarist for Cold Chisel, *Ian Moss* and his song _”Tucker’s Daughter”_ , know you’ll love it 💯☺️👍🏾👍🏾!
This song used to come on for Friday night football. I remember i was probably 4 or 5, and Dad would watch the footy in the loungeroom with my uncles, and me and my mum would watch movies on a tiny little tv in the kitchen. Mum would doze off in the kitchen and I would always sneak into the loungeroom with the boys and sit on my dads lap and cheer on our team (Canterbury Bulldogs btw lol). The memories seem a little ghetto now when i think of Mum asleep on the kitchen floor. But my Dad is long passed now, and this is a memory I had forgotten. Thanks for reminding me❤️
It’s great that you’re showcasing the great talent we have in Australia. The latest journey into this talent takes me right back to my younger years, and just confirms to me that music simply isn’t the same these days. I should tell you, you shouldn’t be surprised to see Johnny Diesel (also known as Mark Lisotte) in many of Jimmy’s projects. He’s his brother-in-law, and clearly love and respect each other. Right after watching this video, I came across an interview of Jimmy promoting his latest project on a chat show that I’ve already seen. You might be interested as Tina passed away this very day and he was asked about working with her. It’s also surprising that one of the hosts made the same comment as you about them being the male and female versions of each other! Keep up the good work!
FYI- Venetta Fields, the African American backup singer for John Farnham, for years and years was previously a backup singer for Ike and Tina Turner before coming to Australia to appear in the stage production of Hair
They're absolute heaven together and just the every goose bump imaginable. This Aussie loved your reaction and thank you for showcasing some of our insane talent.
I really love this. This is a dream pairing. Tina and Jimmy are amazing together. Their voices complement each other. You can see how much they like each other too, great rapport. I think you can tell Jimmy's a really nice guy. Yes and Diesel is there too. I reckon Tina had a good time when she was in Australia.
Yep, I agree, the male and female equivalent of each other. They bring out the best of each other. Diesel solo guitar in his own right. Great guitarist, 'only the best'!
Without a doubt, the most st perfectly matched duet EVER! MASSIVE Barnsey fan, and when he paired with Tina, as arguably the best rock female vocalist, well absolute perfection. The fact that you recognised Diesel, blew my mind. I'm a massive fan of his too.... I believe he's terribly underated, and deserves sp much more credit for his body of work! Great reaction brother!
As an Aussie of course I knew this duet well.. I thought. Not until watching this reaction Nick did my appreciation and respect for Tina Turner go to another level. Teaches me not to take all these wonderful artists you're showcasing for granted. Cheers.
One person you should check out is John Swan of Swanee in "Temporary heartbreak" and "If I was a carpenter. John Swan is Jimmy Barnes' older brother. He has a powerful voice as well. Well worth a listen!!
Hi from Sydney Australia loving the programs and your reactions are very enjoyable to witness.👏👏👏 I had to comment on your comment about the two being the male, female version of each other because your so true. I'm glad to see your excitement and enthusiasm towards some of our greatest cheers, The Good Lord has shared some phenomenal beings. 🙏🇦🇺
Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner are the most absolutely perfect combination it is possible to imagine, and they bounce off each other as they take it to the next level. It is obvious too that Tina is loving finding a voice that can match her in every way. Their musical chemistry is simply amazing. Truly the best!
1992. What a year. This was such an amazing anthem for Rugby League. Catchy, uplifting, inspiring, I don't think I have ever heard a single Aussie ever diss this song. And of course 1992 was the first time my team won the grand final. COME ON BRONCOS!!!! This year for sure!!!!
It was an Aussie that resurrected Tina's career and she even became an ambassador for our NRL football and became loved by average Aussies. She spent lot's of time here and got to know many of our singers.
This song has ALWAYS been my fav of Tinas’, for all these years since she released it. But oh my good god!! The chemistry between these two is phenomenal!! Crazy! What a wonderful gift I have received tonight! ❤️🔥 to discover a new joy..I thank you from my soul!! Peace and Joy. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I find it adorably ironic that the name of _Tip Of My Tongue_ was on the tip of yours talking about it. Love this version of the song. You're 100% right, their voices are like the male and female version of each other.
To be Honest this version of the song is my favourite. and YES they ARE the equivalent of the male and female version of each other. Glad you have cottened on to Johnny Diesel, he is very underarrated.
Tina was absolutely Massive in Australia and with Rugby League she was part of the greatest sporting campaign of all time. RIP Tina Turner look up Tina and Rugby league and you will see Australia love her like she was our own
I’m really glad you talked about people say Jimmy’s screaming, he’s not but he certainly has got that gravel in his voice that I love to hear. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
It's actually a Bonnie Tyler song originally. Then Tina covered it and a couple years later the National Rugby League here in Australia got her to record with Jimmy for their advertising campaign... and BOOM!
It was and Bonnie Tyler is a queen in her own right. The fact that all her hits came after a botched larynx surgery and even now in her 60's she's outsinging most of the major pop singers. She is a fucking G
I absolutely Adore Tina Turner she is a surviver! Saw her live when I was a kid and she was incredible her outfit her dancing everything was amazing!! Love this every Aussie knows this song too linked to our Rugby Games for a while. I also Love soul music totally agree with you Jimmy doesnt scream he has soul.
I loved this so much. When jimmy and Tina did this it was perfect. Jimmy always said that it was Tina that made him want to be a singer. He fell in love with her and her style, talent, voice her everything when he broke in to an Adelaide nightclub one night and saw her perform live when he was a teen. Worked out well for everyone I think
Tina Turner was my favourite. Saw her in concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the 1980s. I was near the front...and in awe of her voice....and her thighs! RIP the Ent Cent & RIP Tina! Tina will live on forever!
Tina came to Australia to do a promotional ad for our National Rugby League season. She sang Simply The Best. Her performance at the Grand Final Game was legendary. I think she did some concerts as well. The session with Jimmy in the studio is just so good. What a team. May I suggest that you are 'Simply The Best' 'Reactor' lol Coming out and defending those gutsy notes from our Jimmy, agree 100% ps Johnny is related to Jimmy by marriage.
It's my understanding this is a one time recording. Tina owns the song it's hers. Jimmy was only recording it with her all these yrs later. They do make the best duet though.
Brings back great memories this song. The pinnacle of Australian Rugby league . Tina became the voice of the league during the Winfield cup and it was only natural to get an Aussie legend like Jimmy to jump in on this great song. What a great time it was
If you want Willson Picket or Otis Redding vibes, the Aussies have got that covered too. The Teskey Brothers. A good song to start with would be “Rain” - A Color Show
This is all about Australian Rugby League . Tinas amazing songs were adopted as NRL anthems. She also does another one of her songs - What You Get is What you See and it has an amazing film clip featuring lots of hunky NRL players before waxing, lasering and manscaping were invented 😂😄
Male and female of each other was exactly what I was thinking as well. I'm pretty sure jimmy wasn't in the original because they you to play this song for the footy years ago and I've never heard this version before. Love it.

Your joy at spotting Johnny there was priceless.

Yes love that version
Yes this is also a good one. JIMMY BARNES IS SIMPLY THE BEST....LOL❤❤❤
Tina? it sounds like the Temptations or Supremes or some other Motown group. A bit like people thinking that Tina's version or Rolling on the River was the original :) it was a CCR song.
@@nbx2au 'River deep Mountain high was originally released by Ike & Tina Turner but they didn't write it. I'm sure it's been covered by many people
I love & have the Soul Deep albums -his voice is superb
Roger Davies, an Australian took over the management of Tina in 1979 which lead to her greatest successes including Grammys Tina has had a terrific connection to Australia since then including starring alongside Mel Gibson in a Mad Max movie. Great soundtrack and more success for her including this duet for rugby league Australia. Cheers k
Australian music Reps/management/owners are responsible for some of the biggest artist in the world.
Her costume in that movie was amazing, the song, "thunderdome."
My daughter in laws uncle Mike Chapman an Aussie music composer & producer co wrote this song with Holly Knight.
This was done for the australian rugby league. It's the anthem of league now. She has a great relationship with australia
On her comeback, her manager for many years was Australian Roger Davies. He also managed Cher & Pink among others I believe! 🇦🇺👍🏻😎
DONT Remind ME OF THE 1989 GRAND FINAL
They complimented each other's voice so well, this duo was elite!! RIP QUEEN Tina one thing is for sure you were simply best in real life! Thank you for sharing your gift with the world 💙💙💙
An American watching things we hear all the time in Australia is weirdly comforting to me. Like a comfy blanket.
God damn it, I’d almost forgotten how much of an absolute SNACK Johnny Diesel was in the 90’s. Blessed be, coming of age in this era 😝🥰
🤣
He's still a snack as an older guy with no hair. Saw him live at the Ravo a few years back. My God that voice! And so much better live.
@@katetownsend-crisp4432 truths, up in this reply 🙌🏼

Same I love his reactions and explanations
This anthem made Tina Turner an honorary Aussie, love it💜
As an Aussie listening to this, you are automatically transported back in time to 1993 NRL Grand Final.
Every Rugby League fan in the World, knows this song!😊😊😊

I really love this. This is a dream pairing. Tina and Jimmy are amazing together. Their voices complement each other. You can see how much they like each other too, great rapport. I think you can tell Jimmy's a really nice guy. Yes and Diesel is there too. I reckon Tina had a good time when she was in Australia.
Yep, I agree, the male and female equivalent of each other. They bring out the best of each other. Diesel solo guitar in his own right. Great guitarist, 'only the best'!
Without a doubt, the most st perfectly matched duet EVER!
MASSIVE Barnsey fan, and when he paired with Tina, as arguably the best rock female vocalist, well absolute perfection.
The fact that you recognised Diesel, blew my mind. I'm a massive fan of his too.... I believe he's terribly underated, and deserves sp much more credit for his body of work!
Great reaction brother!
As an Aussie of course I knew this duet well.. I thought. Not until watching this reaction Nick did my appreciation and respect for Tina Turner go to another level. Teaches me not to take all these wonderful artists you're showcasing for granted. Cheers.
One person you should check out is John Swan of Swanee in "Temporary heartbreak" and "If I was a carpenter. John Swan is Jimmy Barnes' older brother. He has a powerful voice as well. Well worth a listen!!
And Lady What’s Your Name! 😃💕
@@cathybedwell1877 yes totally, I loved the band way back in the day, still do!!
And Diesel is his brother-in-law if I’m not wrong!
Matthew and sail away are even better vocal performances from Swanee
Hi from Sydney Australia loving the programs and your reactions are very enjoyable to witness.👏👏👏
I had to comment on your comment about the two being the male, female version of each other because your so true. I'm glad to see your excitement and enthusiasm towards some of our greatest cheers, The Good Lord has shared some phenomenal beings. 🙏🇦🇺
Thank you for your comment ❤️
How are you doing?
It’s nice meeting you here.
ALL THE BEST OF TINA TURNER AND JIMMY BARNES.... 1989 - 1990 ❤
Jimmy Barnes and Tina Turner are the most absolutely perfect combination it is possible to imagine, and they bounce off each other as they take it to the next level. It is obvious too that Tina is loving finding a voice that can match her in every way. Their musical chemistry is simply amazing. Truly the best!
1992. What a year. This was such an amazing anthem for Rugby League. Catchy, uplifting, inspiring, I don't think I have ever heard a single Aussie ever diss this song. And of course 1992 was the first time my team won the grand final. COME ON BRONCOS!!!! This year for sure!!!!
Bro I was feeling that with ya, how friggen powerful is that, the emotion in it wow
ahahahahahahha 7:37 nice form bro yes vocal power
It was an Aussie that resurrected Tina's career and she even became an ambassador for our NRL football and became loved by average Aussies. She spent lot's of time here and got to know many of our singers.
just love how they look so happy that is soul music
Driving wheels, Jimmy classic. Pure oz rock. Chisel live was fantastic
This song has ALWAYS been my fav of Tinas’, for all these years since she released
it. But oh my good god!! The chemistry between these two is phenomenal!! Crazy!
What a wonderful gift I have received tonight! ❤️🔥 to discover a new joy..I thank you
from my soul!! Peace and Joy. ❤️🔥❤️🔥
I find it adorably ironic that the name of _Tip Of My Tongue_ was on the tip of yours talking about it. Love this version of the song. You're 100% right, their voices are like the male and female version of each other.
Thank you for your comment ❤️
How are you doing?
It’s nice meeting you here.
To be Honest this version of the song is my favourite. and YES they ARE the equivalent of the male and female version of each other. Glad you have cottened on to Johnny Diesel, he is very underarrated.
Tina was absolutely Massive in Australia and with Rugby League she was part of the greatest sporting campaign of all time. RIP Tina Turner look up Tina and Rugby league and you will see Australia love her like she was our own
This is awesome 👍👍 I haven't heard this duet for ages, still love it 🎶🎸🎶🎸🎶🎸
I've fortunate enough to see Jimmy Barnes live,the man's incredible 💖👍🎶💖👍🎶
I’m really glad you talked about people say Jimmy’s screaming, he’s not but he certainly has got that gravel in his voice that I love to hear. 🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇺🇸🕺🏻💃🎸☘️
Jimmy was not in the original. This was a special promo version for the Aussie rugby leage grand final in the early 90's. Legendary ❤
So good! And their voices are well matched.
It's actually a Bonnie Tyler song originally.
Then Tina covered it and a couple years later the National Rugby League here in Australia got her to record with Jimmy for their advertising campaign... and BOOM!
It was and Bonnie Tyler is a queen in her own right. The fact that all her hits came after a botched larynx surgery and even now in her 60's she's outsinging most of the major pop singers. She is a fucking G
I absolutely Adore Tina Turner she is a surviver! Saw her live when I was a kid and she was incredible her outfit her dancing everything was amazing!! Love this every Aussie knows this song too linked to our Rugby Games for a while. I also Love soul music totally agree with you Jimmy doesnt scream he has soul.
Two great rock icons........real people
I saw her when she was around 60. She KICKED ASS! There’ll never be another like her. RIP Ms Turner🙏🏻❤️
I loved this so much.
When jimmy and Tina did this it was perfect.
Jimmy always said that it was Tina that made him want to be a singer. He fell in love with her and her style, talent, voice her everything when he broke in to an Adelaide nightclub one night and saw her perform live when he was a teen.
Worked out well for everyone I think
This is rock royalty Oz style - Tina has a big connection with Australia - starring role in one of the Mad Max movies ‘Beyond Thunderdome’.
I agree totally, Nick...Johnny and Jimmy two of the greatest of all time...Incredible!
Tina Turner was my favourite. Saw her in concert at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in the 1980s. I was near the front...and in awe of her voice....and her thighs! RIP the Ent Cent & RIP Tina! Tina will live on forever!
Just Brilliant!! Loved it so much.
Tina came to Australia to do a promotional ad for our National Rugby League season. She sang Simply The Best. Her performance at the Grand Final Game was legendary. I think she did some concerts as well. The session with Jimmy in the studio is just so good. What a team. May I suggest that you are 'Simply The Best' 'Reactor' lol Coming out and defending those gutsy notes from our Jimmy, agree 100% ps Johnny is related to Jimmy by marriage.
It's my understanding this is a one time recording. Tina owns the song it's hers. Jimmy was only recording it with her all these yrs later. They do make the best duet though.
Brings back great memories this song. The pinnacle of Australian Rugby league . Tina became the voice of the league during the Winfield cup and it was only natural to get an Aussie legend like Jimmy to jump in on this great song. What a great time it was
Great song, they both compliment each other well and look like they are having fun
If you want Willson Picket or Otis Redding vibes, the Aussies have got that covered too. The Teskey Brothers. A good song to start with would be “Rain” - A Color Show
This is all about Australian Rugby League . Tinas amazing songs were adopted as NRL anthems. She also does another one of her songs - What You Get is What you See and it has an amazing film clip featuring lots of hunky NRL players before waxing, lasering and manscaping were invented 😂😄
Amazing this is one I suggested. This is awesome.
What a treat i did not know of this recording ,It was epic.
Jimmy and Tina are a match made in heaven 🥰 loved this song as a kid! And it's still amazing and so powerful.
I love your enthusiasm, it says it all. Coolness personified.😁
Love the way you get a little smirk / smile on your face every time Jimmy sings a line. It’s like “that’s my boy Jimmy!” 👍
I’m glad you loved it! So proud of Jimmy Barnes.
Male and female of each other was exactly what I was thinking as well. I'm pretty sure jimmy wasn't in the original because they you to play this song for the footy years ago and I've never heard this version before.
Love it.
