Mahalia

Boner alert.

I would play the Mahalia one, but we keep getting flagged for it.

It's Mahalia today, everybody.

[gasps] Hello, hello.

Aw, Mahalia-

How y'all fella's?

... you got a boner alert jingle.

Smart.

And the concert itself brings together more than 120 artists and musicians to celebrate John's career with his longtime musical director Chong Lim overseeing the music and arrangements.

The lineup includes people like Vanessa Amorosi, Tina Arena, Jimmy Barnes, Mahalia, Kate Sobrano, Diesel, Human Nature, Jack Jones, Richard Marks, Jessica Maboy.

I could go on and on and on.

Even Celine Dion and Hugh Jackman are going to appear remotely for their performances.

After Boosie and everything like that, what was the next big artist that came through to help elevate even more?

It's really hard to say because there's been so many cool artists from, you know, not just like local people, but, you know, bigger artists, you know, like having Ella Mai come in the studio and record a song with this artist named Mahalia.

It's one of the biggest songs that I think is on her Spotify or whatever.

I think we're at like 3.5 million streams or something like that.

right? What's that? You don't want to say it.

The song? Yeah.

Yeah, it's called What You Did by Mahalia featuring LMA.

I don't want to get you in trouble, man.

It's just amazing.

It's got his daughter singing as well, Mahalia, and a rap band called One Four.

Yeah, I've seen it.

It's Triple J.

We know Triple J's thing called Like A Version, which is effectively about covers, and it goes like this, Ali.

Yeah.

I think we established with Jimmy Barnes that he did name his daughter Mahalia after the great singer Mahalia Jackson, I assume.

Good on you, Ali.

Got people in Jamaica, Trini and London, Australia.

I bring the soul to the front like Mahalia.

Curb style, we'll make a nigga buck wild.

Cold flip and set trip, then I dip and that's it.

Taking us back five years to the very first playlist ever curated by Solar Power because we were celebrating five years of Solar Power.

all month long and this is uh my way of kind of just doing a little little reflection time and i won't lie to you i do not know that song i can't tell you the last time i played that song that was probably five years ago it probably was five years ago i wasn't expecting it to be a french song because the title of the song is english the verses were french and the chorus was english that was very interesting a little franglais for you french with a little english we love it Before that, Jacob Collier with Mahalia and Ty Dolla Sign with All I Need.

And then we also heard Nayana is with Partner in Crime.

We tried to play Tinashe with Pasadena, which was available five years ago.

You've just had so many crazy moments.

I was even looking back just through your career, looking at some of the things that you've achieved, performing with Coldplay, supporting Tinashe and Mahalia, playing festivals, playing the NRL halftime show, getting a co-sign from Timbaland.

What would you say is your biggest pinch me moment?

Having a song in The Sims, Nat.
