Jimmy Barnes' songs that made him

from Take 5 · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

It’s not overstating it when I say Jimmy Barnes is a national treasure. Everyone can sing along to a Cold Chisel song, you’ve undoubtedly seen him or them live at some stage of your life, and the harrowing story of his childhood has connected him to people who may have never even engaged with his music before. He also electric; the energy that comes off him is insane. Throughout this Take 5 I just held on for dear life and went along for the ride. Even when the songs played, he was air drumming and singing along at the top of his lungs, to every word. The Take 5 is all about stories, and Jimmy Barnes has ‘em in spades. Even before he started singing, music was in his blood; a saviour growing up, and a way out of the northern suburb of Elizabeth, in Adelaide. From Ray Charles to Oasis, Tina Turner to Led Zepplin and Dylan, these are the songs that made Jimmy Barnes.Ray Charles - ‘Hit The Road Jack’Oasis - ‘A Bell Will Ring’Ike and Tina Turner - ‘River Deep Mountain High ‘Led Zeppelin - ‘Immigrant Song’Bob Dylan - ‘Like a Rolling Stone’
