John is the greatest male vocalist of all time. Endless range, agility, mic control, everything.

John had number one albums in 5 consecutive decades. He is our Legend and loved. Richard Marx named him best living voice anywhere alive because of all of the genre’s he can sing naturally. Tom is older than John and John is older than Barnes. John started singing at 17 but he wasn’t allowed to sing his music his way until he was 38. His movie called Finding The Voice is on KZread now. You will understand John so much more. Thank you.

The song came first, it was his comeback song and man did he come back.❤

John farham is one of Australia's greatest voices. We love john..

Jimmy is recovering from open heart surgery at the moment. Complications set in when got pneumonia that caused a bacterial infection in his heart and he suffered valve issues. Apparently he is progressing well. 2023 was also John Farnham’s year of ill health too with his mouth cancer and his family have said he is also recovering well.

Hate the spiderbait clip just ignores Janet. She is spiderbait! Wholesome band that were happy to share the live load. I’m 40 and this band is one of many Aussie’s that were just in it for the music during my formative years. They are so much fun.

, Farnsey also has a way of getting deep into the emotions of your soul. A couple of songs worth checking have been mentioned below, plus these are worth a look also. The reason you haven't heard of him is because the US music industry is a closed little club. When John Farnham went to the US they didn't know which genre to put him in so his US promotions manager got him a couple of gigs in a little jazz club, where the MC introduced him as Jack Phantom. Couldn't even be bothered getting his name correct, so being a bit disheartened he wandered home to concentrate on his loyal fan base. The experience did give him inspiration to write a couple of good songs about missing his family, like this one. -Burn For You.. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZoSE2LGhgNbWdaQ.html -Angels.. Notice how he holds the mike below his chest, both mikes are a metre away, which he does all the time to not drown out the other singers.

The best part of John’s singing is his versatility. He can sing anything from the softest ballad to Rock, Pop, Classical, Country , Operatic etc. You name it and he can sing it! He is much loved in this Country and he is known as ‘The Voice’. He is always happy, laughs a lot, he adores his family and is happiest when singing. We are all relieved to know that he has survived an 11 hour Cancer operation and after many months, is reported to be singing around the house.
