So glad you enjoyed that! Both these guys are legends here in Australia - John's been performing since the 60s and Jimmy started in the 70s (with his band Cold Chisel). They're still singing, and still sounding fantastic. And both are singers whose live performances are more often than not, even better than studio versions... John Farnham especially is just freakishly, astonishingly good live.

I loved seeing you wife's face light up with enjoyment when listening to Farnsey, Barnsey and Diesel. This is a classic song filmed in a classic style. All three are well known talented and appreciated musical artists. John is my favorite. He sings in different musical styles with an octave range from A2 to G5. Always watch John LIVE to appreciate his incredible voice, professional stage performance, infectious energy and rapport with his adoring audiences. We love him here in Oz.

Jimmy Barnes(short haired )was the lead singer in "Cold Chisel" rock/blues band . Huge in Australia. John Farnham is a soloist. He's known as the Voice for obvious reasons. Both still perform . Barnsey since the 70s and Farnsey since the 60s.

There's a lovely back story to this song that makes it all the more poignant. Both these singers have worked hard in the Australian rock scene for many years and the comments will tell you they are greatly loved here. They have each tried the international scene but both decided to stay and work in Australia for the sake of their families. They have both been and still are in loving monogomous marriages for 30+ years, right throughout their careers, and they give credit to their wives for the support they've been given, so this song has a particularly strong meaning for each of them.

Always react to John Farnham & Jimmy Barnes live. John has an awesome stage presence and amazing vocal skills and range. A humble guy who loves to sing, loves his audiences, band and backing vocalists. Try 'Help'(Beatles cover)and & 'You're the Voice' with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra & lots of others too. & Jimmy is an old rocker from his early days with Cold Chisel but nowadays has the most brilliant soulful, gritty voice. So rich & smooth. Both are legends here in Australia. And the guitarist is Diesel an artist in his own right. Three stars on the stage together ❤

Jimmy Barnes was the chap on the left, John the blonde guy. Both of them are terrific singers with powerful voices and great range. My opinion ... John is the better singer but Jimmy has a unique quality that has made him extremely popular across the years. John is a solo performer who teams up with Jimmy for the occasional concert or recording.
