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.
