John Farnham is the GOAT. Even Celine Dion agrees. She worships him. Just look at how far from his mouth he holds his mic when he goes for his big notes. That's immense power right there.

This was the last song of this concert so he was running on adrenaline. This was the song that Re-started his stalled career and that is why we call him The Voice. Every Aussie knows the words to this timeless message. Thanks for your reaction.

Australia’s unofficial national anthem sung by Australia’s favourite son. What a voice. And an awesomely nice fella as well.

He does it better live ( with no artificial help ) than the recorded version. Few performers can do that, Elvis,Tom Jones , The Eagles, AC DC among them. And that song is more relevant today than it was in the 80’s when it was recorded. John is an Aussie legend and a world class performer.

John is always so amazing to listen to :)

GFAM, John was born in the UK, Dagenham Essex. He migrated with his parents when he was 10. I just realised had they stayed in the UK you would know him more than we do here in Australia. But you can understand how very lucky we are to have him here, singing since he was 18. He’ll be 72 this year. Just for you, a 6 minute interview, 2015, of his singing history here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a6iG1MivnLiaiaQ.html

His voice is phenomenal. Always has been since the 60s. A legend, humble, funny, lives in the moment. And it’s pronounced Farnem (pronounced without the “h”).

This whole concert is an awesome look at just how good farnsey is. I remember when it was played on the TV in the early 90s and my parents recorded it. I found the tape and watched it until it wore out. I was only 4-5 years old but that started my fascination and admiration for this mans abilities. It’s so awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves from a few Americans! Please check out a few of the songs he did when fronting Little River Band. He’s incredible.

Rick , just realised you are the one suggesting the songs. You’d know the movies John F sings on the Movie soundtracks. Have a feeling you know quite a bit about John’s career. Now I’m trying to remember without looking them up. Yes Movies are - Rad, Fletch, Slugger and um 🥴🧐 um - I’ve forgotten, it’s called, old age 😂

John’s a national treasure in Australia, he has many great songs.

John has been around in Australia since the 1960’s when he scored his first number one with a novelty song. He then had a successful career in the 70’s before his career died away. There was little interest in him in the mid-80s but his manager, Glenn Wheatley had faith. No record company wanted to fund his new solo album so Wheatley mortgaged his home to produce the album which was recorded in Farnham’s garage. The album was eventually the second biggest selling album ever in Australia. It was the biggest selling album in 1987 and the number 10 album in 1988. John continued with further success. He still tours and, as you noted, has a great stage presence. He is very much loved in Australia.

This song is an Anthem! Relative for today..Now you know why he's Australia's Voice! Btw..EVERY reactor starts humming it and singing along! It's that Powerful! Great reaction..I just pressed my Notification Bell! See ya soon. 🎧😎👏👏

The last name is pronounced Farn-em. You don't emphasise the ham bit. The H is silent

This is not a band but THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

If you want to be an authentic Aussie, like John, you pronounce his surname FARN-M. Let the H and the A go! John is that overworked and often wrongly applied word - ICON. We Aussies adore him and always have. He's now about 70. Oh, and if you think he's an amazing singer, (and he is of course), he's an even nicer person.

check out the original video.... the pipers take it up a few notches....

Farnham the h is silent as in Farnam mate. Great review of our golden boy. Angus is the drummer he calls Gus. He has stage presence and some. The only other is Elvis
