There’s not much to say about John Farnham that you don’t
already know. Farnham, who was born in Essex, England was a teen pop idol from
1967-79, billed then as Johnny Farnham, but has since forged a career as an
adult contemporary singer. His career has mostly been as a solo artist although
he replaced Glenn Shorrock as lead singer of Little River Band from 1982-85. In
September 1986 his solo single, "You're the Voice" peaked at No. 1 on
the Australian singles charts. The associated album, Whispering Jack, held the
No. 1 position for a total of 25 weeks and is the 2nd highest-selling album in
Australian history. Both the single and the album had Top Ten success
internationally including No. 1 in Sweden. In 1976 and ’77 he released two singles for
Infinity Records ‘You Love Me Back To Life Again” b/w “Call Me Back” (K-6669)
and “Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame” b/w “Monkey See Monkey Do” (K-6765). Now I
have check and can’t see where these songs have ever been released on LP or CD.
Both singles were produced by Gerry
Stevens. Another interesting fact is on the song “You Love Me Back To Life Again
“ is that on the New Zealand release it’s “You Loved” not "You Love”. Flac
