Jeff St John - Fool in Love - official video | Reaction 

In my opinions one of Australia’s best singers .. So underrated ….amazing voice ….sadly passed

Jeff sang at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Paralympic in Sydney he sang the National Anthem and a song called The Greatest Challenge which was event theme song.

My fav Jeff St John song is Teach me how to fly. So glad someone requested him.

Jeff St John - Australian Singer 1946 - 2018 born with Spina Bifida Hits - Big Time Operator , Teach Me How to Fly & A Fool in Love . Very Cool Voice 😎 👌

Omg can't believe you've covered him. I grew up with his voice and learned how to sing. I adored/adore him. He was such a talented man and was ALL heart and soul. Thank you from an Aussie ❤

I saw him live and up close as a young teenager a few times in the mid 60's and have never forgotten the experience. He was briliant. You should listen to him sing "Sing a Simple Song". He was up there with the best.

Oh my gosh, this is so bizarre! Jeff was my cousin and I was actually watching a clip of him just yesterday and thought to myself that I should send him to you!! He was a very talented person ❤️

I lived next door to him when i was a kid. For memory he was a pretty cool dude.

Jeff St John rips! Disability no barrier for raw talent... and this was the 70s!!!

Jeff St John is Aussie - he was great. Born with Spina Bifida. Unfortunately he passed in 2018 from an infection after surgery [he had a lot of surgeries throughout his life] he was 71 years old. So much voice from a sitting position. He left behind a daughter from his 1st marriage and his 2nd wife of many years. He was born in what a rough, working class, Sydney inner suburb. He spent most of his later life in Perth Western Australia.

Thanks for recognising this Aussie legend. Jeff StJohn and the ID played at local dances when I was a teenager, late 1960s. Great versions of Sam and Dave R&B.

Another underrated great Aussie😀🥰! He's incredible 🌏🪐🍀🙏🌕🦋💓🤗🌸👣🇦🇺🦉🏡🌳❤️❤️❤️❤️

I came to Australia in 1971 and was blown away by the amount and quality of music especially live music. To see Jeff 's energy on stage was inspiring to anyone he was a great

RIP Jeff St John (born Jeffrey Leo Newton; 22 April 1946 - 6 March 2018), was an Australian musician best known for several Australian hits, such as "Teach Me How to Fly" (1970), "Big Time Operator" (1967)[1] and "A Fool in Love" (1977). Peace out

I remember Jeff st John. What a voice. We were so lucky with the quality of talent . Still are if it comes to that.🇦🇺🎸⚡🔥🔥🔥🔥💜💜💜🤘🤘🏿💜💜💜💜

Sadly he has passed away. Truly blessed to grow up in Oz in the 60s, 70s and 80s!

I remember the first time I saw him live and he did a wheelie in his wheelchair. My heart went into my mouth, but he was cool.

Jeff was one of the most underrated singers in Australia in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Released an album "Jeff St John's Copperwine - Joint Effort " in 1969. If you can find that it's worth a listen.

I go to love you for really emerging yourself into some of the most amazing music .

I guess none of you know that in 1968 or 69 Jeff was on the same bill as The Yardbirds and Roy Orbison in Sydney. He was amazing !!

Big Time Operator" his signature song. & biggest hit. His best.

Please react to TEACH ME HOW TO FLY by Jeff St John 1970. Official video in black and white. It's my ringtone now. I was only a little kid when I first discovered this great singer. My husband and I just finished listening to a podcast interview of him. Such a lovely and humble man. RIP Jeff

Jeff St John. Another one of the great Aussie singers. My personal favourite Big Time Operator.

OMG! Takes me right back to Xmas / New Years parties as a kid with the family friends and neighbors! Dancing our a’s off! Can’t believe I’d forgotten all about Jeff St John! Thankyou so much for the reminder and trip down memory lane! 💕😎❤️

Nice reaction! And yeah, this dude is phenomenal. I only recently found out about him in the last few years due to a Bon Scott documentary that mentioned he and his band Fraternity beat out 2 other acts in an Australian battle of the bands kind of competition. I tracked down the competition and was blown away by Jeff St John's performance. And Bon Scott was great too, but really, you watch that sometime and how can you pick one over the other? That led me to discovering him like you, Fool In Love just blew me away. Really dig his feel for funk and his voice. Sadly, both he and Bon are both passed on now but they both left all of us a huge musical treasure.

I'm embarrassed to say I forgot about JSJ and forgot he lived with a disability. What a talent, especially in a time when people with disabilities weren't really seen. 🥰🥰

Used to go to lots of JSJ gigs in Sydney in the 70’s, often with Wendy Saddington on the same bill. Teach Me How to Fly and Big Time Operator were signature songs.

Your face at 3:40! You enjoyed it for sure but he is worth that adoration!

Jeff died in 2018. He was amazing.

Great artist. I remember he had a great motorbike trike, I remember seeing him on a vid, flying down the road on it.

I love your reaction so much ❤

Love Jeffs music

vale jeff. a nice fellow and a consummate professional, i had the joy of working with him many years ago

I remember Jeff from when I was a kid. He was cool and could sing !

I loved Big Time Operator when I was growing up. Such a catchy tune!

Loved Jeff

Jeff St John died in the morning of 6 March 2018 His death was caused by a bacterial infection following surgery.

One summer he was playing on stages set up in the car parks of Westfield shopping malls across Sydney, I went to every one. He was still using walking sticks at that stage. Wendy Saddington was in the band too. Her version of Dylan's Just like Tom Thumbs Blues is terrific.

Jeff was very entertaining on stage moving around on the back wheels

Another incredible Aussie talent from the 70's, I remember as a kid hearing "Teach me how to fly" on the radio in 1970 which was his second hit song, what a voice, check it out live on set in 1975 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0fwJd0EtcCg.html Cheers

TEACH ME HOW TO FLY (1970) I think was his best hit song. Saw him live many many times. There was nothing like watching Jeff do wheelies across the stage in his chair. ❤ 👨‍🦽 Also a 3:35 minute clip from the documentary Rock and Roll Man, is worth a look. It is a visit and free concert at a school for disabled kids, it's very inspiring. Jeff St John - Big Time Operator - Performing at the Northcott School in Sydney in the early '80s.

Great singer. Loved his voice. My favourite song that he sung was Teach Me How to Fly

Jeff StJohn ......now that's a voice.....the chair? Maybe Spineabifida, I seem to remember ....came from Perth WA? I saw him perform in 1978, a great gig and the dynamics of his physical performance was worth the price of admission alone. Was a double header with Madder Lake. (12 lb Toothbrush)

Jeff has some cracking songs and yes he was definitely underrated even though he had a few hits.

Another Aussie Jeff you really need to review is Jeff Duff singing MacArthur Park live. I’ll rank him alongside John Farnham as the best Australian voice ever.

Disabled Aussie here, I’d call him a Crip Warrior. Sexy AF too. Love your quote ‘He can sing his face off’ 🙂 He sure could.

from the same era and with soul... Renee Geyer.... its a mans world

Check out Jeff St John's Teach me how to fly

Passed away a few years ago at the age of 72.

Do you know that Elvis heard him sing and thought he was fantastic.

Great reaction! By the way, if you liked Toto’s Till The End, you’ll love their song “Stop Loving You” - it’s amazing!

He was a rare talent, and could really rock. Noone had seen a disabled rocker before and not since in my knowledge.

Can't top "Big Time Operator" St. John's best by far IMO. It Rocks. Others not too bad but incredibly difficult to back-up with another best for any artist. All good listening he is.

Jeff St John was one of the first prominent Aussie entertainers with a disability. He had a big voice, and had a major hit with Teach Me How to Fly, which is a better song IMO.

Gosh. I had forgotten all about him!

Bliss n eso, you neeeeeeeddd to do

Try listening to 'Up in the clouds" by Skeggs i think you would like it

Dude please react to an Aussie rapper called chillinit. That guy has bars on bars.

Unfortunately he passed away in 2018.

React to sticky fingers cyclone the village session please

please react to Katy Perry’s SNL performance of « never really over » and « when i’m gone » ! you need to see her vocal abilities

H edied a few years ago mate. Listen to an album by him called "Joint Effort" Recorded back in 1970 and not over produced. some of the best Australian musos were in the band.
