As I sit here half naked at 12:30 a.m., I think to myself, "Who is arguably the most famous person in Australia ever?" I begin to research frantically..the answer, John Farnham. This blog has therefore been deemed a tribute to this great musical genius.
John Farnham was born July 1, 1949 in England. His album "Whispering Jack" held the number one spot in the music charts in Australia for twenty-five consecutive weeks and is the highest selling album in Australian history. He is the only Australian artist to have a #1 record in five consecutive decades. In 1987, he was named Australian of the Year (even though he wasn't even a citizen there yet!) for his music contributions for 20+ years.
In addition to being possibly the greatest singer in Australian history, John Farnham is also a family man. He met his wife, Jillian Billman, while performing the stage musical Charlie Girl on April 18, 1973. They have been together ever since and have two sons, Robert and James.
John Farnham's song, "You're the Voice" is quite possibly the most epic song to have graced my ears. I do not understand how you can listen to that song and NOT get amped up. WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO AT THE BOTTOM. That's all I have for now, John Farnham, if you're reading this, I hope that I have made you proud. In the words of John Farnham, "We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son." Stay classy.
