"Working Class Man" is a song performed and made famous by Australian singer Jimmy Barnes. It was written by Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain. "Working Class Man" is generally considered Barnes' signature song as a solo artist. ==Details== The song first appeared on the 1985 album ''For the Working Class Man'' and was the first single released from the album. The single spent 14 weeks in the Australian charts, entering at #21 and peaking at #5.〔''The Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music'', Guinness, 1995, p879〕 It also spent seven weeks in the New Zealand charts, peaking at #34. It was later played over the credits of the 1986 Ron Howard film ''Gung Ho'', where in some countries, including Australia, the film was released as ''Working Class Man''. Barnes also performed "Working Class Man" at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. Barnes has said of the song, "I went to America just after ''Bodyswerve'' and met Jonathan Cain, who was in The Babys and Journey. It means a lot to me. Most people thought it was written about me, but it was actually written about my audience - staunch, honest people, who work and who care." Barnes said that, due to the "great band" he had, the recording was done in about 5 takes. "It was fun to sing, so I was really pleased. I didn't realise how much of an impact it would have as an image centre for the next five years."
