This is a cover of a Sam and Dave song by two Australian legends who are even better live! They have been doing their thing for decades. Farnsy (the blonde one) just had massive emergency surgery at the age of 73 to remove cancerous tumour from his mouth. Had his jaw reconstructed and will probably never sing again. He has given us so much for long. The entire nation is in shock and wishing him well. His cover of the Beatles "Help" is legendary. They do other stuff together too. 💕

I first discovered Jimmy and John singing this incredibly soul bending song about a year ago. I can say without hesitation that they have two of the best male singing voices I’ve ever heard. I can’t believe that I had never heard them perform before. Both are gifted and extraordinarily talented vocalists.

That’s Australian rock royalty for ya, they are the two most soulful white dudes ever. Thanks for the awesome reaction I knew after being blown away by listening to Jimmy you were in for a shock listening to John Farnham. Then the icing on the cake is Diesel with his guitar skills, he also happens to be Jimmy Barnes brother in law

True 👍 I was going to write let's not forget about Johnny. The man's made some great music

The only comment I have is "ALWAYS DO BARNSY or FARNSY LIVE!"😉 they will reach in and touch your soul in quite a primal way. Now you have heard this maybe do yourself a favour and watch them do this live on Hey Hey It's Saturday. You will k ow you have the right video if their is a wierd looking ostrich puppet on the screen 🤣🤣🤣

that my friend was the 2 best singers in the world

Absolute legends. John has been in the news a lot in the last week as he is recovering from life saving surgery to remove a malignant tumour from his oral cavity. Australia has watched on with baited breath. He’s got a long road ahead of him but he’s a fighter. PS live version of this is even better!

I was cry-laughing as he looked liejk a kid at Christmas :) ❤❤ Got to first see John in Little River Band in 1983 and again on their 1985 tour, two months before flying to Live Aid London! All amazing!

These three men are all unbelievably amazing singers. The blonde John is one of the best singers in the entire world, just ask all the other legends around the globe and they will point at him despite he never really bothered with international fame. He can sing any and all genre's and his myriad of songs are testament. The other singer Jimmy is just like John, but he prefers his Rock, Blues and Soul. The guitarist Diesel is well known for his Blues and Soul sound, and his voice is something else despite not hearing it very much in this song. You will not be disappointed in listening to any of these three men sing in their own individual works. Being music gods in Australia they will lead you to even more singers of their same caliber and some possibly even better. They all surrounded themselves with only the very best musicians and talent. Just remember to always listen to any of these people LIVE at all times, they are always best live where they can put everything they have into every performance.

Hard to think that song is 30 years old. Timeless. Jimmy lives about 20 minutes from me, we often see him around town. Nice guy. Johnny, well he's just a legend. Get well soon mate.

It's from 1982 performance of Australian rock icon Jimmy Barnes, and the Australian 'voice' John Fareham with Jonny diesel on electric guitar and backing vocals. This is great Aussie 80s icons

3 Australian legends combined in one out of this world song. Jimmy and John are living treasures and the guitarist is Diesel, himself a legend singer and of course guitarist.

You don’t just listen to these 3 (guitarist included -Diesel) your soul experiences them.

You must these two legends live❤❤❤ It is so good they are finally getting world recognition. 🎉🎉🎉

Find John Farham singing Help live with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. And an older Jimmy Barnes ft Joe Boamassa singimg Stone Cold. Thanks again for checking out these 2 Aussie Legends ...

You should hear John Farnham sing black dog as his warm up song it’s amazing

It's nice to see you again! The last some time ago was when you did a great reaction to The Teskey Brothers singing , 'Hold Me' at 'The Forum 'in Melbourne, Australia. These guys are from Australia, too. The dark-haired man is Jimmy Barnes, the blondie is John Farnham and the guitarist-singer is Diesel. All are separately famous in the music scene here. A better video of this song by this trio is a one on You Tube on a show named, 'Hey, Hey It's Saturday' where this song is done LIVE. John Farnham is my favourite and is considered as music royalty here. He has a powerful voice with a big vocal range. His career spans 5 to 6 decades and he can sing in about 20 different music genres. He is brilliant and best seen and heard LIVE where his Soul shines! He has some fabulous videos on YT with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. John is the consummate showman with an incredible electric and charismatic energy. Often his songs will carry a message for the greater good of the world. Audiences love him. Please check out more of his music. Lots of Aussie and other fans will be waiting for that.

We Aussies tend to think the rest of the world has been living under a rock. We were raised on this calibre and better and the Pub Rock proving ground was notoriously unforgiving so only the real deal made it through. Enjoy.

Rock legends. In a country that has the same population as some major cities around the world, Aussies are blessed with some of the most amazing talent. Thx for featuring

See this live it's even better. Watch John Farnham live you will be blown away. Diesel on the guitar is amazing in his own right. Singer, songwriter. Also happens to be married to Jimmy Barnes's sister-in-law. Hence performing together. This lot get better as they get older too.

This song really does something to me too. I can listen to it over and over again. The USA gave the world Soul and Blues and Gospel and the world fell in love, and sang right back. Barnsey and Farnsey are two of the world's greatest singers individually. And what is magical about both of them is that they are both amazing duetists who have collaborated with so many other artists. Barnsey in particular is so good at reigning in his powerhouse voice to let the other person shine too. I think you would like Stone Cold in Love by Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa too.

Jimmy Barnes is a Scottish immigrant who suffered an extremely abusive childhood. He became the frontman of the legendary Australian rock band Cold Chisel, where he famously would get through a full bottle of Vodka on stage at every show. After he left Chisel he became the biggest Aussie rock artist thoughout the 80s. This song is Jimmy reinventing himself as a soul singer. And it ended up becoming his most successful album ever.

Jimmy Barnes brother in law was the guy on the guitar (Diesel). Jimmy was once the King of Rock, and John has been the King of Pop. He started with SADIE THE CLEANING LADY (on youtube) in 1967. I think he would now consider himself retired as he had part of his jaw removed in a 12 hour operation the other day for cancer. He's 72/73 now. John was a good friend of Olivia Newton John and they had similar histories having come from England to Melbourne, Victoria. Both were in the business in the 1960's in Melbourne. They worked together with albums and there is a 2 hour beautiful concert on youtube called THE MAIN EVENT with them and Anthony Warlow who was Australia's Phantom from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. John does a wonderful concert too with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with songs like HELP and YOU'RE THE VOICE - both on youtube. Also check out on youtube the 2000 Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony with ONJ and John singing DARE TO DREAM.

Check out Stone Cold by Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa 😁

Jimmy Barnes, Johnny Diesel on guitar and a singer and our Golden Boy John Farnham. We have a lot of great singers in Australia that no one knew about. The difference is we listen to and watch everyone else. John has one of the top voices in the world and I haven’t seen any genre he can’t sing including Opera. His range is huge, he is a showman, funny, kind and so loved. Always better live and he leaves it all on the stage. Watch him sing Help, live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. The Beatles wrote it but John showed them how to sing it and I loved the Beatles. I am sure there are many artists afraid John would do a cover of their song and for a good reason. Get well John because you really don’t want me to come and sing to you. My husband hides if I sing.

Legends of the Australian Music Industry. Aussie Rock Royalty. Jimmy, Johnny, and Mark are absolute icons. This song still gives me chills, even though it is over 30 years old now. John Farnham was the first concert I ever went to (in the mid 80s) and I have been a fan ever since. Jimmy is just as amazing and he always gives me goosebumps, no matter what he is singing. The bitter-sweet note to this is John Farnham has recently had cancer removed from his mouth, and it looks like his performing days are over. It breaks my heart to know of the new generation of fans who will never get to experience how electrifying he is in person.

This pales in comparison to the live version. Checkout the 1991 ARIA Awards performance. Another great performance to check out is Help by John Farnham with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, he is a true gentleman and a consummate entertainer; and the emotion and strength he puts into this, especially at the end of a two and a half hour concert.

And Jimmy Barnes singing soul deep or a song Jimmy wrote about about a town he was brought up in shut down due to GM USA closing the Australian arm of Holden cars putting them unemployed, it's called there shutting down my town great film clip with it and free concert to the town

The live performance is way better, Farnsey is magic, Barnsey & Farnsey together even more magical. Farnsey is no 1. You got a long journey with these two iconic Australian singers! Enjoy the ride!
