About John Gordon

Born 1963. John Gordon is an Australian singer and songwriter.

John Joseph Gordon (born 25 December 1963) is a songwriter from Queensland, Australia. In late 2010, he released the controversial climate change protest song "Australia (Whore of the world)" – which lambasts Australia's continuing coal exports, and open slather approach to mining in general. He has released three albums, Notre Dame (2007), Alive in Bornheim (2009) and Souvenir (2010) – the latter two were recorded in Frankfurt, Germany – and is perhaps best known for his song "Inexorably Yours" which was covered by songstress Wendy Matthews on her 1994 multi-platinum album Lily.
