@@breeanaflannery great to hear that John did that for you and more so for a 8 year old...He is the perfect example of a great man. I've met him too a couple of times through being a musician and myself doing Carpentry/Joinery work at studios around Sydney back in the late 80's and 90's and one time at studios 301 John and band were rehearsing and I was having a lunch break listening. They had a break and John came over to me and we spoke. He asked me about carpentry stuff and him being a plumber...well we had that building connection. I spoke about being a musician and he said "Come and listen to rehearsal if you want too" I said "UMMM yeah" To be 3 metres away from John singing and hearing the sheer power and control of his voice beyond the PA is something I'll never forget. It was so empowering and overwhelming. What we see from John on tele and in concert is exactly the same thing I saw in him in person. As you said...he's just down to earth and genuine. Thats one of the main things I got from John. Good on him for singing Happy Birthday and you had cake too 👍👍🔨🥁🇦🇺

I was at that concert. What a night it was! Their love of music is what bonds them. The love for each other, is very real too, but for all of the best reasons. I love your emotion too, and I'm not ashamed to say that it brought tears to my eyes just knowing how it affected you also. It did that night, and it does every time I see this.

John Farnham is the King of Australian music, Olivia 'Livvy' Newton John is the Queen! Thank you for reacting to this beauty!

what amazes me even though ive grown up listening to both of these people , its the perfectly matched vibrato , length of note and pitch , the length of sustain and the cadence, perfection in motion is all i can say , its almost unbelievable except for the fact that its John and Olivia , Australia's sweethearts

3:48, you’re getting chills at his belting, and I understand… But I was getting chills at the very soft falsetto that Olivia is doing at the same time. That caught my attention.

I have been a lifelong fan of John's and still always get chills and goosebumps whenever I hear him sing like that. He's incredible.

Their magic together in the was so superb. They have always had that love of each other. We all miss Olivia and pray for John’s recovery. Of all things, mouth cancer is so fucking cruel 💜❤️

They have been very good friends as they started out at the same time together in the 60's...just a beautiful pair of people with beautiful souls..we are so lucky here in Australia ❤

As an Aussie growing up with these 2 and taking their talent for granted! Seeing someone else hear them for the first time reminds me just how great they are. RIP ONJ and Best wishes to you John. ❤

Like John, Olivia was born in England and discovered young. She came to Australia and became beloved by everyone. Had 5 US Number One songs and won 4 Grammys. She's now recognised with the UK's top honour as Dame Olivia Newton-John in honour of her musical achievements and environmental activism. These two have a 4 decades long friendship and great respect for each other.

While Australia is huge land size wise....it is small population wise and has a closer knit community with singers and celebrities...this has the effect of many of them knowing each other as actual friends as opposed to the US where there are more famous people and while many may know of or have seen other celebs, don't know or are not friends with eachother.

The acting and this kiss at the end is very typical of their era, Olivia always kisses friends on the lips. If you watch Olivia duet with Andy Gibb and Cliff Richard she does the same thing, in the 70's they tended to do that intense eye contact and acting the song out was a part of it.

Ok,so to answer your question about chemistry etc. John Farnham and Olivia Newton-John were both involved in the Australian music scene from young adults. They are both dedicated vocalists who understand lyrics and story telling through song, they brought the emotion needed to the performance. John has been happily married to the same woman, Jill, since 1973. BTW, so glad others outside of Australia get the gooseys when they listen to John .

Johns heart is broken...RIP Olivia...

They have been great friends for decades, and having been singing together, on and off over that time, it's purely platonic, they both have respect and admiration for each other

They are two good friends and professionals. Excellent in their own right. But together musical magic

The concert was "The Main Event". Just a great show in the round featuring John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John and Anthony Warlow. It was a classy event where they all sang separately and with each other.

ONJ is also good friends with Barry Gibbs and does some great no.s with him as well. She is a much loved and respected performer. Has suffered several bouts of cancer and is currently still fighting on.

Olivia Newton John who has now died was one and still is a legend. We love our “Livie”. She was indeed in Grease and so many more. A real Aussie woman

We saw Olivia Newton John playing Sandy in Grease... She is a rather good Actress... We haven't had the opportunity to see John Farnham in an acting role... I believe that he will KILL IT...

You need to hear John singing this song on his own. Awesome!

Anthony Warlow, Olivia Newton-John and John Farnham all performed together at the Main Event Concert in 1996 and 1998 respectively.

Olivia Newton-John's voice can be heard in JAWS during the scene in which poor little Alex Kintner is taken by the shark. In the film she is on the radio singing a cover of the Peter Allen song "I Honestly Love You" which was a big hit for her around the world. She has a Country music background (singles include "If Not For You", "Let Me Be There", "Banks of the Ohio", "Take Me Home Country Roads") but moved more fully into pop after GREASE in 1978 and XANADU in 1980 before releasing her album Physical in 1981. Farnham comes out of the vaudevillian traditions of music theatre and cabaret, which is one of the reasons why he is a natural easygoing entertainer: years and years of practice performing for tough crowds going back to the 1960s.
