LIVE is a must he’s the only performer I know to get 30000 people spontaneously singing on time in tune and then on pitch! This is our unofficial national anthem! John is a national treasure Burn for you next he has many many hits down under and is still huge in his 70’s and still has that voice!
Harri,please always do John Farnham live,one of the few singers who sound better live.Freddie Mercury once said Farnham had the best voice on the planet.
Totally agree about the live performances & he DOES have the best voice on the planet in my opinion & obviously a lot of others' opinions!
Big respect to john farnham, so don't get me wrong: but in my music-world freddy just said that cause he was so humble and unpretentious about his own unreachable outstanding talent :-) freddy is the god of pop-voices
@@monikabeki6838 Freddie didn't even like his own voice.
Tom Jones thinks that too.
@@jenniferjacobs228 Elvis thought that Tom Jones had the best voice ever.
Oh as an Aussie I love Farnsy . He’s the greatest . Such a brilliant singer and so funny too. He’s always better live than on studio recordings .
He’s a National Treasure and an Australian of the year .
He is 🥰
Try "Help" with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. He has had great long career, just not internationally recognised.
His live performance of this song with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is unbelievable.
ALWAYS watch Farnsey live. Watching him work a crowd whilst singing better than he does in studio is something truly special.
I have a vivid memory of this song. I was on a skiing holiday in northern Sweden with my family the year this came out. We were standing in line for the lift and this song was blaring on the loudspeakers. I begged my mother for the money to buy the single as soon as we came home. I still have the 7" single. Thank you Mom (and John)!
What a treat that would’ve been and still is.
John Farnham Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. You will not be disappointed. You want powerful you got it here in one song. John has been faithful to Australia and his roots here. He is huge down under
"Help" LIVE at the MSO. Actually any Farnsey song as long as it's LIVE 😀
Every Australian sings this anthem like a national anthem - Try 'When something is wrong with my baby' with Jimmy Barnes another great Aus singer and friend -it is awesome - He had many many hits and they are all awesome - he is in his 70's now and still has a great voice
I’m a 66 year old that spent ten years as a soldier...this song touches me as an antidote to war.
I'm not from Australia,but have always loved this song,ever since it first came out.This dude can SING,please react to more.Jimmy Barnes is another awesome artist from Australia, check his music out too,both are incredible 🤘🎶🎸🤘🎶🎸🤘🎶🎸
As an Aussie I’m so glad you have found Farnsy👌 been to many concerts👍 he is a national treasure and this is an Aussie anthem🇦🇺❤️ listen to him live you won’t regret it❤️
There's a video of him singing the song "Reminising" live with Little River Band. It's phenomenal.
No where near as good as the original singer though. His voice just didn't suit LRB which was a smooth crooning group.
John Farnham is an Aussie legend. He has a wealth of great songs. I think you would really enjoy reacting to his version of Help by the Beatles. Other hits he has had include, Two Strong Hearts, When Something is Wrong With My Baby (with Jimmy Barnes), Touch of Paradise, That's Freedom, Pressure Down and Chain Reaction, Burn for You and Every Time You Cry (with Human Nature). He started in the 60s as a solo artist with Sadie the Cleaning Lady. Took over as the lead singer of the Little River Band for a while before going parabolic in the 80s and 90s as a solo artist again. Despite retiring many years ago. He pretty much has a comeback tour ever second year and still sleighs it.
You forgot 'Age of Reason' at the tennis arena with full band - crazy good!!
THANK YOU. FINALLY! America & the rest of the world is 'discovering' our John. Every one of his songs is brilliant. Particular favourite is pretty much EVERYTHING on his 'Whispering Jack' Album.
His voice is unforgettable, his performance artistry so skillful, and his social consciousness flows through his work. This message - unfortunately - has as much resonance & as much need to be heard - Really HEARD! - today as it did when first written.
Love from down here in Tasmania ( the southern most & Island State of Australia }
Great Aussie singer and probably the best singer singing live.
Live singers are the best and John is the best of the Best.
YES!!! So glad you've found "Farnsey", a true Aussie National Treasure. 3 songs I'd highly, highly recommend you do of his: Help (live with the M.S.O), That's Freedom, and his duet with fellow Aussie legend Jimmy Barnes - When Something is Wrong With My Baby.
Don't forget Burn for you .
Brilliant choices , try them
lovemyrainydays, When something is wrong with my baby is amazing.💕💕💕
Don’t forget
Sadie the cleaning lady
@@tomhicks1009 Farnsey hates that song.....
Others have already told you - John Farnham IS The Voice. An Aussie legend others try (and usually fail) to emulate. A really nice guy too.
Also try out his song Burn For you written for his wife. Australian legend still singing today. You're the voice is one of Celine Dion's favourite songs and she covers it at her concerts. In her Melbourne concert she did a duet with John when he was in his 60's.
The country version is hysterical
When you said this looks like it was his only hit I almost fell off my chair. WOW!!! This was his break-through song as a solo artist but IMO doesn't showcase the depth, strength and control of his voice. Many others have listed some of his other songs and performances. He is one of the true artists who is as good as if not better live - doesn't need all the toys of a studio to sound good. Just raw talent. A great performer with a down to earth attitude on and off stage. You may have gathered I'm a fan. And I'm glad you will be too!
True, through the 70's and early 80's, he was what was known as a "mother's pet". He couldn't get rid of 'Sadie the Cleaning Lady' or his cover of "Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head".
Then Whispering Jack came out. I saw him live a couple of time after this came out, and people would shout "PLAY SADIE!!!" and he, being him, would play the crowd.
Farnsie: Ya wanna hear Sadie?
Punters: YEEEAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
Farnsie: Ya really wanna hear it?????
Punters: YEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Farnsie: Well,...........stiff.
I've never heard this before. He does sing beautifully.
Check it live...goes up another level.
Just a tip when reacting to Farnsey react to his live performances they are so much better
"Age Of Reason", "In Days To Come" and "Lifted Up By Angels " are all songs with a message sung by the wonderful and charismatic John Farnham . All can be found as live performances, which he excels at doing, recorded on video. John is a good-hearted , kind, funny and very likeable, humble man, too. The rest of the world hasn't heard much of him because he preferred to stay in Oz. Also, he didn't like the way artists could lose control over their music through the influence of some recording companies overseas.
Spot on!
Have a Little Faith (In Us) is another that comes to mind
We Aussies consider this song to be our unofficial national anthem.
John Farnham the great Australian treasure born in Dagenham England and moved to Australia with his family in 1959 at the age of 10, who in the early 60's was known as Johnny Farnham on the early form of Australian music shows like ready steady go in the UK at the time.
Touch of paradise. Burn for you. He’s got hundreds of absolute hits
Burn for You another soulful Farnham song
Also, it’s interesting you say John has the voice of a preacher, as one of his most iconic undertakings was his tour de force performance of Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. His performance of Gethsemene is breathtaking.
That's why we call John the voice and What a voice it is. 👌
I have been to John’s concerts. He is amazing and he leaves everything he has on that stage.
Not sure what list you have, but John has quite a lot of hits. Try his collaboration with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra giving the Beatles song "Help" the Farnham (pronounced Farn-em) treatment. There are 2 concerts to choose from. His live performances are incredible.
Strange, in Australia we call John "THE VOICE " 🇭🇲👍
He actually had multiple number 1's and countless albums with a career thats spanned 40-50 years. This isn't his only hit as you suggested
He has had number 1 singles and/or albums in 5 decades in Australia. Check out 'Chain Reaction' tour (Live) Melbourne 1990. Great version of the Beatles' song 'Help'.
Yes !

Harri John Farnham as huge catalog of hits.
Just search him for life performances, just brilliant.
I’ve the pleasure of been present at three of his concert in the late 80’s and still not tired of listening to his music.
Dude when you listen to John Farnham please watch him live. He’s so damn good.
Lifted up by angels is absolutely one of the most beautiful sung songs 💜
Beautiful reaction too and yes we are all brothers & sisters we are connected by our souls 💓
Just FYI, it's pronounced Far-nm. He's an Aussie icon. One of the greatest voices in the world. But we Aussies have always known it.
I love John Farnham. He was famous from a teenager (with Sadie) all through his life until he retired. He has many albums and many concerts. I don’t think youtube was around for most of his career. He was also a really decent human being.
Best voice AUSTRALIA produced (even though he was actually born in England, we claim him because it was here he first got famous. Absolute phenomenal performer and entertainer, brilliantly funny at Ad lib comedy as well.
You have found our 'best kept secret'. Australia's favourite son mate!! It's people like Farnsy that make us proud to be an Aussie!!!
This was his comeback song.
He was a teen idol in the 1960’s and went to no. 1 with a novelty song.
By the mid 80’s his career was considered largely over. And then he released this song.
The accompanying album is the second biggest selling album in Australia of all time.
He is considered one of Australia’s most loved celebrities and he is an amazing live performer with great crowd control.
John Farnham is by no means a one hit wonder and had a long and successful career with many hits. If you want soul check out his duet with Jimmy Barnes, When something is wrong with my baby. Immerse yourself in his work, he has such a beautiful voice, an incredibly humble stage presence and is still doing live events at 72 years old.
John Farnham was born just outside London in Dagenham, Essex, England but is an Australian national treasure, having emigrated there with his parents, younger brother and elder sisters when he was ten.
This song is often referred to as Australia's unofficial national anthem and with what Australians are going through at the moment, the lyrics are even more relevant now than they were then.
Oh thank God someone has found our John to react to. He has such an iconic place in Australia and this song is as well. You need to watch his live performances as his range and abilities shine live. And he has such a rapport with the audience. He's such a larrikin & still is in his early 70's. Try Help with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and When something is wrong with my baby with Jimmy Barnes, also a live performance. Thanks again. Happy Aussie here.
There is also john singing in English the voice that is and Mitch Tambo singing in aboriginal languages mind blow the two performers together
Harri - you must check out the live version of this song !!
John Farnham has hundreds of hits. Supremely successful artist. Australian idol
Love your analysis. This song was his break back after a lull in his career and became the most successful of all his songs and has become an anthem in Australia. You are right - John has a great voice but he has the tone, the emotion and the passion to deliver meaning. Thank you for respecting his talent.
Love watching all the Farnham reactions.
No other artist gets the response that he does. Truly amazing voice one of the very best ever. Period
This song is so much more relevant today then when it first came out .. John is a living legend, a national treasure. He is the Voice ..This song should be a worldwide anthem.
I suggest you get hold of the album "Whispering Jack" Jack being a name given to lots of blokes called John here in Oz. I consider this album to be his best but then, I could be wrong.... glad you enjoyed. John's first hit was "Sadie the Cleaning Lady" he came so far from that song. Enjoy...
*He's in his 70's now and still does this song in many events or award shows with the same ability.*
my favourite song of his came out in 1968 Rose Colored Glasses
Thank you for being so wide-ranging in your choices. I recognised the hook in this song, so it must have had some e radio airplay in the U.K. But I couldn't have told you who sang it and the name John Farnham meant nothing to me ... Thanks to you and those commenting from Australia for enlightening me. What a great voice!
Lyric written by Keith Reid. The man who wrote the lyrics for Procol Harum, including Whiter Shade of Pale. Which is a heck of a contrast. Keith didn't play an instrument as far as I know. In any case he wasn't a member of the band but, like Bernie Taupin for Elton John, he wrote all the words. This is the only song I know of that he wrote for anyone else but there may be others.
John Farnham must be heard LIVE!!!!
I’m somewhat perplexed how I hadn’t heard of Cold Chisel, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss et al., before my 65th year on the planet. Can’t get enough of them now!!
He’s a beautiful man and a wonderful voice. We love him Harri for who he is as individual ... lovely! Just as you are 🥰👍💋
You should watch him sing Help live it will blow your mind .
This song is for today as well ,the world needs it in 2021 .
You need to check out a LIVE version! Fantastic live performer.
He has a massive amount of songs he has been singing for 4 decades.
He's epic and sings from his soul seemingly with no effort at all. One I'd highly recommend is John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes - When Something is Wrong With My Baby. Two Aussie icons and a brilliant song that hilights both of their abilities perfectly
You need to see some of his live performance on you tube. On a level that will blow you away.
John Farnham is the voice singing your the voice lol
Thanks George!

I remember this beautiful song very well. I've heard it a lot when I was younger.
I still remember the first time I heard it. Was on hey hey it’s Saturday. One of those very rare songs I loved the first time I heard.
You have a killer backdrop there!
Thanks for this reaction, John Farnham had many hit song's and top selling album's, not so easy to find in the U K unfortunately.
Help, burn for you, something wrong with my baby, pressure down, thats freedo, playing to win take Ur pick he has loads of hits n all unique n amazing
*Aussie here* That song is why we call him “The Voice”. We also call Elle Macpherson “The Body”
John Farnham is an Aussie treasure.
He has heaps of hits here in Australia. He is Australian's darling legend. Watch 'Help'.
Yep, LIVE Harri, always choose live with John Farnham. You won't get the full voice any other way.
There are a few songs in Australia we never ever learnt the words to yet somehow we know them completely, this and land down under... think it's bred into us somehow...
Born and bred in Australia John Farnham is a legend his other songs a blessing to hear Di
You need to hear this song live. Any version will do... It is truly powerful stuff. Personally I prefer the most recent versions live as the audience is half full of people who were not even born when the song was released (which to me, means more).
He's just warming up Harri.....
This song is timeless. Tell me this song and it’s lyrics don’t resonate more now than it did in the 80’s when it was released. Aussie viewer here. 🤟🇦🇺
FANTASTIC! ♥️🎼🎵🎵🎶🇨🇦
There is phone camera footage floating around TH-cam of Céline Dion performing this one in Melbourne. Unannounced, Farnsey walks out and picks up the lead vocal for the second verse. Proper shivers mate, shivers.
That wasnt unannounced She was with him before this and worked out when he came out It still was great She loves him
John Farnham has soul.
Do yourself a favor a watch his live performance of this song with Melbourne Symphony. He sings as well and is quite a performer! Truly “The Voice!”
Always play live performances when you listen to John. He is the best live performer of all time
Harri, love it, love JOHN FARNHAM'S voice and love this song especially when the choir and bagpipes come in. How about another Aussie but Glasgow born JIMMY BARNES from the live album BARNESTORMING and the track SEVEN DAYS, an absolute banger that'll get you headbanging. Take care kid.
Gives me chills every time
He is our legend and national treasure. Please consider listening to "In days to come".. That has a bigger message than this one and so appropriate for today even though is a old song
Not his only hit song! Soooo many more 🇦🇺💜
This was his biggest song, but he’s no one hit wonder. I would also suggest:
- Pressure Down
- Two Strong Hearts
- One
- Touch of Paradise
Watch a live version of hus concert with the Melbourne Orchestra...it is magnificent any song but particularly The Voice Help and Amazing Grace...enjoy.
You need to re listen to this song live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra Just so you can hear what he can do vocally with this song. I love the studio version but the one live is powerful 🙂
Sending love and good vibes to John and his family 💕💕
Feels like I have heard the voice and seen his name before but I can't really place him, anyhoo I really liked this. Great voice 🎵🎶
John had many greats, he could sing anything. Check out when something is wrong with my baby sung with Jimmy Barnes and Help with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
I live to hear great music . Thak you
John Farnham has had many huge hits in Australia.. Watch his Concerts also Harri
I love Rambo playing guitar too 😂
John Farnham has been around since 1967.
When Glenn Shorrock quit Little River Band, JF became the new lead singer. 🤠
GS reminds me of Lou Gramm from Foreigner. 👨🎤
Suggested LRB video: The Other Guy live. 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🇦🇺
Suggested duet: John Farnham + Jimmy Barnes. Something Is Wrong with My Baby. 👨🎤👨🎤
🇦🇺
Another Aussie conscious song is “Beds Are Burning” by Midnight Oil. Better check it out.
Fanham!😂 FaRnham Matey! He is ours get his name right!!!
Harri love your reactions. Try John Farnham’s cover of The Beatles song “Help” live with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: th-cam.com/video/dv54giOSRKs/w-d-xo.html
I’d had no idea his “Help” song was a Beatles song till very recently. Even now when I hear Farnsy’s version, I don’t connect it to the Beatles. I’d listen to John’s “Help” anyday. And in the live he plays with the audience spectacularly.
'Help' by JF with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.....do it! It does not disappoint.
Fun fact, the arguing couple at the start appears to be Derryn Hinch, a very well known talkback radio hostand TV personality, and his then wife Jackie Weaver, who is an Oscar nominated actress. She may have been used to him waving bottles around, as he had a liver transplant a few years back. And Rambo is Mr. Brett Garsed. They guy who plays guitar in my band has been at the professionals only guitar tech he goes to, while Garsed nearly levelled the building trying to sort out a feedback issue. Looks like Rambo, dangerous like Rambo, just a different weapon.
