Johnny Farnham

John Farnham AO, full name John Peter Farnham, also known as Johnny Farnham, is a British-born Australian singer, actor, and television personality. He was a teen pop idol from 1967 to 1979 and thereafter was an adult contemporary entertainer, becoming one of Australia's best-known and most popular performers and the only Australian musical artist to have a No.1 single or album in each of six consecutive decades. He was managed by Darryl Sambell from 1967 to 1976 and by his long-term friend Glenn Wheatley from 1980 until Wheatley's death in 2022. Farnham married former dancer Jillian Billman in 1973 and the couple have two children. Farnham's first commercially successful recording was the American-written novelty song "Sadie". Released in November 1967 the song gave Farnham widespread recognition in Australia. He subsequently replaced Glenn Shorrock as lead singer of Little River Band from 1982 to 1986 but otherwise has worked mostly as a solo artist. In November 1986 his solo single "You're the Voice" peaked at No. 1 on the Australian singles charts, and the associated album, Whispering Jack, held the No. 1 position on the album charts for a total of 25 weeks.
