There's a song of his that I havent heard since the early 70's, a song called "Rainie on my mind". I'm surprised as it was a great song with some rather catchy guitar licks. Could someone post it? It would be great to hear it again.
Pop-munster extraordinaire!If you took The Bee Gees,Tom Snow,Steve Kipner,with just a little dash of Kenny Loggins,you'd have John Farrar--plus John Farrar!Just an afterthought--does anyone know Farrar's ethnicity--I know he's from Australia,but he looks sorta Persian and Anglo. another p.s.I can't think offhand where a singer/songwriter/producer sold lotsa records--it seems that the artist records some of the tunes that already were big hits at the time.It's a best kept secret sorta thing.
I REALLY think this song was written for the PHYSICAL album and didn't make the final cut cause it sounds so much like RECOVERY.
Its a GREAT song and I am actually happy at this age that Olivia DID NOT record it...this is truly a tribute to John. It might be the most melodic song he ever wrote.
I can hear Olivia singing this in 1982 - I can hear it on the PHYSICAL LP.
I am sad Olivia never sang it proper (I know she did a fake duet version)
Music doesn't get any cooler than this.

This sounds a bit BeeGee'ish......Vocal quality, production values, sound....
NO coincidence Farrar and Barry Gibb are the two men who brought out the best in Olivia.

Great song. If only Olivia and John Farrar would team up for a full length album, I know it would be just as good as ever. Thanks for posting.
