Feeling a bit emotional listening to this... Jon was by far the greatest of his time.. Greatest performer and the greatest fella.... Deeply deeply miss him... The Cabra boy who made it to the top..... Admire Jon forever.
I met him about 10yrs ago when he did the Rock Show tour. At the end, he promoted all the young guys playing with him, how good they were and how great it was working with them. He went out into the foyer and was signing and chatting, I bought a few beers and handed him one and my father in law and I stood there, joking and laughing with Jon drinking a beer. I asked if he’d sign a CD and when I went to spell my name, he says ‘oh I know that one, it’s the same as my sons’. It never really registers sometimes when it’s happening, but you sit back and think later on, bugger me, I was drinking a beer and shooting the shit with one of Australia’s greatest performers.
@@trevorcoppock5621 dead set nice guy, me and the old man saw him play locally and he hung around after, spoke to everyone who was there, signed everything, and I ordered some beers and handed him one and he was chatting and saying how good his backing band was, and what bands they’re normally in, and honestly talked himself down. It was almost surreal sitting beside him drinking a beer and shooting the shit, looking back now.
@@thesausage351 Yes, that's sounds just like him. I met him through a friend of mine then in the music industry. Very genuine and not a bad Gilbert and Sullivan performer too.
@@trevorcoppock5621 Yeah, he was a true gent. I asked him to sign my CD and did the usual and started to spell it, he said no it’s ok this time, I have a son with the same name lol. He was much taller than I thought, too. I’m 6 foot and he was over me.
No matter what he sang it was better or never bettered by the original performer. I still regard his performance, whatever it was as among the best! Loved from the 70's till now. RIP Legend.
Weird to be watching this, me and the misso went to Handorf on the weekend, the place we saw jon in one of his last performances. Good AUSSIE rock at its best. RIP Jon, thanks for the memories.
I prefer Metallica’s version to Segers, Hetfields gravelly voice suits it much better than Segers, but I think Jon does an amazing job as well, especially live, he kills it.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ..

One of Australias greatest ever talents

This man is simply magnificent , what a voice
Hell yeah👍
Listening 2020 thinking John owns this song ... RIP a true talent
You obviously never listened to Metallica's version 🤘😎
@@Win_Huynhyeh well you never listened to Bob segers version 1973...do your homework. In any case Jon did it better than any of them
Now there's a blast from the past. 🤩
Luved John English back in the day.
So love this song! !
A genuine star that will always shine.
You know why I know this guy is because my dad is Jon English but a different singer lol

Amazing!
March 2020. Only today I discovered Jon English covered this Bob Sever classic.
Beautiful!
3 YRS ON, EVEN SEGER DIDN'T ROCK IT LIKE THIS BOY!

A star of stage and screen
I miss you Jon. ❤️
Great Singer R.I.P. Jon 🙏😢♥️🇦🇺
I remember being back stage when he played in innisfail after cyclone lary and he mistook me for his son
This feels like a sequel, or another version of Hollywood 7.
ROCKED IT EVERY TIME!
Ol black eyes. Awesome live.
Tena koe Matua.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face ..
I loved the tv series! He stared in ! Yellow ribbon
They were transported to what’s now Sydney, and then Paramata ( ? Spell )
Bloody Irish Aussies?
Life in amongst the gum trees
Volume ?
This guy was a legend... I can't believe not many quality vids exist.
❤❤Great singer 😊 sadly missed.
Still the best version for me!
Champion mate parra parra
Is it women or is it man.
Miss Jon English
We all grew up with him and now we can enjoy his masterpiece
Jon would have been an easy fit for AC/DC after Bon.
I nevee seen like metalica when the singers this song and the original singer bob groger and the other nothing..
Is this not metalica's Song?
Metallica also made a cover. I think Bob Seger released it originally.
Written by Bob Seger and the silver bullet band
Lol
No bob Seager wrote it
My Man 🇦🇺
Nice song.
