I'm not sure if this is a widely known Aussie music fact that I've somehow been clueless about all these years?

You know the song "As the days go by" by Daryl Braithwaite?

Do you know who the backing singer on that song is?

Because I must have heard it hundreds of times over the years and yet somehow I didn't realise before I read it just now.

It's John Farnham 🤯

I didn't believe it, but I just listened closely. It sounds like Jack.

I looked it up on Wikipedia, and sure enough, it's Farnzie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_the_Days_Go_By

How did I not know this?

Did you?

In the regular radio version of When the days go by, John Farnham's vocals have a filter over them, are mixed in the background, and aren't completely clear.

But there's an extended mix, and you can very clearly hear Farnsie in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JYkjiWdnTM
