For him to choose to stay in Australia instead of USA says a lot about his integrity. This business is filled with false images and if you have a great roots where you are, what is wrong with that? Talent is talent and it finds its way to those who appreciate it.
What a great version of the great 'Procol Harum' hit. Still think that Farmham could be on the world stage. Just needs the right producer and choice of songs.
on one of the american idols, when one of the guys sang 'your the voice', simon cowell did not who the song was by, and did not seem to know John Farnham ... just could'nt believe my ears....
John Farnham did the right thing and stayed in Australia...it shows ..he's family are still together, he's happy ..what more can i say....he's a legent...WE LOVE U !!!
I agree, This is one of the most melodic peices of Music created from the sixties and forward, But its allmost a copy of JS Bach, Mr John do one of the better covers,
I have listen to John Farnham since the eghities an i am impressed by the power he have, He mean every word he sings
I know what you mean, But its great, We would be happy for all versons so the song lives forewer an new generations find it, I dont like to listen to Michael Bolton or Annie Lennox versons but i respect them, Take care brother
Yes... one of the many things that John does do fantastically is covers... Not only with his voice, but the way the composition / arrangement comes out... He truly does have a great interpretation of songs... See him live, and that's where the magic is mate...
I heard a cover of this song done by Annie Lennox a few years ago and was horrified, not only because she did such an awful job of it but also because this song has such a special meaning for me. Thank God the one guy who could do it properly chose to do it. This is awesome.
I am a great fan of Farnham and I only found two covers done by him that I do not like. Those are the Stones cover The last time and We will rock you by Queen. They are not bad, but I think John could do better then that. But still he is one of the best, if not the best male vocalist in the world. I love what he did with Help by The Beatles
I wish he made it in America, it's a shame the whole world hasn't heard his amazing voice! He still astounds me with his talent, and his personality always shines through. <3
For the record.. The only reason why John didn't make it in America is because he chose to stay in Australia, and not move to America with his family.. After 'Whispering Jack' John was offered to move to America and be marketed over there, but he said he wasn't willing to put him and his family through that sort of stress... It is a pity, because then John would've been on a world scale, as he deserves to be... The main thing is, that we think of him as world class...
John Farnham is the one male singer on this planet that I Love the most! How brilliant is he and how down to earth.. well apart from my own man Tracy Yott :)
is there a karaoke accompaniment of your version of this john? I would buy tens of copies just to be sure that if a disk is destroyed, lost, or burned... some of it are in my bank safety deposit box.

Very credible version, but I don't think most would go so far as to say "better than the original". The original is peerless.

John Farnham is one of the not so many who can cover a song and make it sound better than the original or at least equals the original
