Outstanding cover of the Red Foley Gospel classic. Johnny O'Keefe is greatly missed.

He was brilliant live, and put on such a good show. He also helped many Aussie performers to achieve their goals. Sadly missed by so many.

I totally agree - definitely one of Australia's irreplaceable icons. But...thanks to YouTube he can still live on and bring back all those wonderful memories for the ones who loved his music and supported his career.
