I don't generally like the more operatic, histrionic singers but Mr. Farnham has a certain folksy charm that endears: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Farnham
Here's a live version from 1/4 century ago (the previous citation isn't available): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6QtEfw--z4
Talking about killer covers--here's Mr. Farnham in a duet with Laura Brannigan *, backed by one of the great recording orchestras, the Melbourne Symphony Ork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6nbiDzIjOM << this may surpass the original--thanks for the hankie; I'll be alright now.
* Herself a great singer, Ms. Brannigan died much too early of a medical condition. RIP Laura.
