Career
As Johnny Farnham, he performed with the local band The Mavericks on weekends while still attending school in 1964. The band had a repertoire of five songs. At the end of 1965, he was asked to join the band Strings Unlimited as lead singer; it was a band made entirely of string-only instruments, and they had a regular booking at a local hotel.
Farnham’s first commercially successful recording was a cover for the British novelty song “Sadie (The Cleaning Lady);” Sambell did not like it because the lyrics were so persistent. The song gave recognition to Farnham in Australia. Selling 180,000 copies in Australia, “Sadie” was the best-selling single by an Australian artist of the decade and was the biggest-selling single in Australia at the time. In 1969, Farnham released his album Everyone Oughta Sing a Song, which peaked at No. 12 on the Australian album charts. Farnham won the most popular male award and was crowned ‘King of Pop’ five times in a row from 1969 to 1973.
In 2015, Farnham and Wheatley spoke out against the use of their iconic signature song, ‘You’re the Voice,’ used by Reclaim Australia, an anti-Islamic group, and again in 2020 for its use in anti-lock-down rallies during stage 4 of the COVID-19 pandemic in Melbourne, Victoria, which Wheatley described as offensive to Farnham and himself.
