Touch of Paradise by John Farnham

Touch of Paradise was the third single released from John
Farnham’s all-conquering album Whispering Jack. The song was
co-written by Ross Wilson of Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock fame.
Episode 14 of this podcast takes a look at Daddy Cool. The other
co-writer of Touch of Paradise was Gulliver Smith from cult
Melbourne band Company Caine.


 


The Whispering Jack album has now sold over 2 million copies
worldwide. The record is the highest selling album by an Aussie
and it sits second, only behind Meat Loafs Bat Out of Hell, for
the most albums sold of all time in Australia. Incredibly the
album has been certified 24 x platinum. Our special guest is Oz
music legend, Ross Wilson.
