Jonathan James "Jon" English (26 March 1949 – 9 March 2016) was an English-born Australian singer, songwriter, musician, actor and playwright. He emigrated from England to Australia with his parents in 1961. In the early 1970s, he landed the role of Judas in the Original Australian Production of Jesus Christ Superstar. While he was touring, he recorded his first four albums. His first hits included "Handbags And Gladrags", "Hollywood Seven" and "Turn The Page", the latter of which was his first number one. At the same time, he appeared in guest roles in popular television drama shows, including Matlock Police and the Homicide TV-movie Stopover.1977 culminated with English's fifth album and the hit single "Words Are Not Enough", plus a concert tour with Thin Lizzy. He took a short break from the rock music scene in 1978 when he appeared in the lead role of the television miniseries Against the Wind. In partnership with Mario Millo, English also wrote the incidental score and the theme song "Six Ribbons", which became a number one hit in more than six countries. | |

Face on the Cover: With the exception of In Roads, all of Jon's studio albums feature him on the cover, with the cover for It's All A Game being the most extreme example as it's literally a close-up of Jon's face with the title at the top. | |

New Sound Album: Although Jon's style of music has been pretty consistent for the most part, there are a couple examples of this. Calm Before The Storm has a few Disco-influenced songs like "Down In Frisco" and "Feel Like Dancing". Dark Horses and Busking see an increased usage of synthesizers. | |

At that point in the song, the singer claims that "If you listen real close, I can sound like a whole damn band!", prompting synths and other instrumentation to appear. | |

Rearrange the Song: His covers of Play With Fire and Behind Blue Eyes have a more dramatic, atmospheric sound to them in places.
