For some unknown reason Judith's voice touches my heart in a way no other singer does. It is filled with so much longing, like all great classical music.
Judith looks so incredibly cute in this picture. I feel so blessed to be able to still hear her phenominal sound. How lucky we were & are to have had sweet Judith walk this earth with us.
Absolutely agree. She was so kind, and when people acknowledged it and were kind to her (she was so sweet that you wanted to be kind), she gave it right back, and gave it to the audience. Great lady!
OMG, divine beautiful Judith, I have loved you since you were with The Seekers and I've just listened to "The Carnival Is Over", my favourite 60s song of ALL time, followed by your solos of "The Olive Tree" and "Catch the Wind" before bursting into tears, me a 71 years old man, at your heart-wrenching performance of "Danny Boy". RIP dear Judith, you will live on in the hearts of all of us who were so glad and happy to have had you, through your records, in our lives and where you will forever remain. David, Crouch End, London, N8.
I’ve been hooked for 55years Judith. You are without doubt a treasure to the world. I ve never met you, but feel I know you and understand you. All of this from your beautiful music
I believe it's true that everyone has an idea of a person they would have liked to know buried deep within their heart and whom they search for all their life. Some like myself are fortunate to actually see and hear that person in their walk through life. Judith Durham fulfilled that search. I honestly have been in love with her in most every way. From the 60's her pretty face was my vision of lovely beauty. Her special voice; the songs and music reached me and held my admiration and peacefully consoled. We have never met except in my mind and thru media, but if life would have been accommodating then she would be the one.
@@philipgundill237 I think if Judith had sung this with Donovan, it would be the supreme version, Judith is unforced and doesn't have to try to make you feel, i found Crystal Gale to be forced to the point of feeling fake. Then of course we have Judith's voice, probably the greatest female singer ever. Donovan really did feel this song, it must be very very personal for him, you can feel it when he sings, i really think Judith would've completely complemented him, she has a unique ability to harmonise a blend in with male voices.
If Judith sung this in her lower register then even Donovan would be trembling. I mean this is brilliant but I never would have imagine she would have sung it in her upper register, but of course she pulled it off as usual.
How coincidental that i was listening to Donovan yesterday and only just now heard Judith's lovely version. Too much of a good thing can lead one to be spoiled-like that's a bad thing. All hail the voice of the Goddess
ALL songs in the world must be perfect on her voice. Doesn't matter the genre,Judith always sings with her heart and her versions will always bring me tears.
I discovered Judith's "Mona Lisa" album through a music review in 1996. It remains one of my all time favourite albums of her solo career. Her voice is so unique and she is so beautiful.
First time I have ever heard Judith Durham sing this Donovan Song and, as ever for this singer, it is ABSOLUTELY F--ING WONDERFUL!. I sincerely hope that Donovan loves it, too, because he should.
How the HELL can this song be sang in her upper register and still sounds d so savage good. I'm dreaming now and trying to imagine what it would have sounded in her lower register??, could it be even more beautiful?? , is that even possible?? The power she injects in her upper register is quite astounding as most singers who sing there cannot match.
+Charles Butler Could not have said it better myself. I stray away sometimes but always come back to this magnificent rendition. Donovan's version was just another popsong of the swinging 60's but this is PURE GOLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful, haunting and emotional version of a great song. Judith Durham certainly takes a place among all outstanding folk music performers. L-Å Hansson Sweden
I love to hear Donovan sing this song but it's just as great to hear Judith sing it.It's coming up to 47 years ago now since the song got released.......
Catch the Wind is my favorite Judith Durham song, even though it is a cover of Donovan. I don't think that Judith Durham, in her Seekers years, sang anything I don't like, but Catch the Wind is special.
I like this version, as Judith's voice is always terrific, but my absolute favorite is Joan Baez and her late sister Mimi Farina's version. Their two beautiful voices sound like one. You can find their version on TH-cam. Fortunately I don't have to choose, as I can listen to both songs on TH-cam. I didn't even know Judith recorded this, so thanks much for posting it.
I heard Donovan sing this. I thought it was really good. Then I heard THIS version ---- oh, MY! The moment her voice came on, I had chills! Great song for Judith!
I try not to praise her too much, she’s only human and made mistakes. No one is perfect. But I agree she is wonderful. I’ve come up with superlatives myself.
I didn't hear of her until a few months back, after she had already passed away :) Wonderful..yes. And I'm not just saying that. I've looked at other videos of her on TH-cam and I agree.
I hope she will be in my next life to keep listening to her voice. I love her very much, even though I have never met her. God bless her now and beyond this life.
played this at ny wifes funeral/30/4/21..love you always
G-d bless

❤
She would be touched to hear this. Thx! ❤
I always think of my beautiful late mum when l hear Judith sing makes me cry hearing her songs 😂😂😂
Lost mum 2009 to cancer 😂😂😂
Ah, the voice that came from that tiny girl. Rest in peace, beautiful Judith.❤
She makes me feel life is worth while after all❤
Judith's incomparable voice makes this cover a sound experience.
Make me belive in angels. Wish the earth was filled with human as her. RIP JUDITH. YOU MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.❤

Wow, what a comment! She would be so flattered and speechless.
Mate, all i can say is stand in line! There aren't enough superlatives to describe such a lady!
A fabulous singer from Oz. Privileged to see her live in Glasgow quite a few years ago.
Not many could cover this fab song, but Judith absolutely owns it.Beautiful.
I don’t think anyone can sing this better!
What a beautiful voice and beautiful lady!
She sure was!
Shure miss her, we will always have her music, she was one of a kind...
The most angelic, invoking female singing voice ever!
A beautiful singer with a beautiful voice singing a beautiful song. What more can you ask for.
Well said! Beautiful woman all around!
Best greetings from the other side of the world, old germany, for the best voice ever.
and greeting to you from the Down Under Land. I love your beautiful country!
There will never be another Judith Durham. Beautiful and wonderful woman. She is gorgeous! And incredible voice!!
I wish I've known you sooner now your gone thanks for sharing your gift to us all
What a voice! She has always been lovely. She fills my eyes with tears as memories come flooding back over the years
Just so beautiful R.I.P. Judith
Classical Judith Durham. Just perfection. The best female vocalist ever. Awesome range and control.
The voice of an angel god bless you judith ❤
one of the many benefits of growing up in the 60s was being able to Judith Durham for a lifetime
Crystal voice, and a lot of soul! Thanks, sweet Judith, to spread love, with your singing!
Another Judith special, she sings perfection.
Brilliant and stunning at the same time. Wistful Donovan cover both have their pluses, but for sheer beauty this takes the buscuit.
But it's not as poignant as Donovan and Crystal Gayle.

I go wobbly at the knees whenever I hear JD sing this wonderful song.

Absolutely Brilliant Absolutely BEAUTIFUL
I discovered Judith's "Mona Lisa" album through a music review in 1996. It remains one of my all time favourite albums of her solo career. Her voice is so unique and she is so beautiful.
One of the most underrated voices in modern music.
Totally agree with that.
Underrated only by those who don't take the time to enjoy her beautiful music.
I Agree one of the best voices
I"ve ever heard !
zack157 I agree Judith is the best voice in the history of recorded sound friendly regards from Amsterdam The Netherlands Esther
Not by those like me who know when they hear the most beautiful female singing voice ever recorded.
Judith Durham is extraordinary.
Her elocution, is flawless Timing under control and a Great Voice.
June 2024 and I'm HEARING the words for the first time. Bawling my eyes out too. ❤
Her voice despite her illness a few years ago, is as good as ever.
Amazing that she had a lifelong lung condition and yet her voice was always incredible!
Judith je kouzelná, nejlepší ze všech.
judith has a voice where all she sings, come out perfect....she brings peace to a mind
this was my choice for my wifes funeral april 2021..judiths beautiful voice....both forever in my heart
First time I have ever heard Judith Durham sing this Donovan Song and, as ever for this singer, it is ABSOLUTELY F--ING WONDERFUL!. I sincerely hope that Donovan loves it, too, because he should.
I can't say who had the greatest female voice but I can say that Judith is definitely way up there in the conversation...
I and millions of others can, Judith stands alone!
How the HELL can this song be sang in her upper register and still sounds d so savage good.
I'm dreaming now and trying to imagine what it would have sounded in her lower register??, could it be even more beautiful?? , is that even possible??
The power she injects in her upper register is quite astounding as most singers who sing there cannot match.
Just awesome...... just awesome ..... what a gifted singer.....
Lots have sung this Donovan song, but none better than this lady. One word Class.....
Class all the way... she owns the word..
Agree with. This is the definitive version of a great song.
Extraordinary voice.Best vocalist this century
If angels could sing, they would want to sound like Judith. She has blessed us with her voice for so many years. We all love her.

What a beautiful person and great singer dear Judith.
GOD does not make very many like this... what a treasure to us human kind...
I get lost in Judith's beautiful voice.
Beautiful voice! I'm in love!!

I love to hear Donovan sing this song but it's just as great to hear Judith sing it.It's coming up to 47 years ago now since the song got released.......
Love her voice.
…..Excellent, thank you.
Beautiful as ever Judith.
Catch the Wind is my favorite Judith Durham song, even though it is a cover of Donovan.
I don't think that Judith Durham, in her Seekers years, sang anything I don't like, but Catch the Wind is special.

I heard Donovan sing this. I thought it was really good. Then I heard THIS version ---- oh, MY! The moment her voice came on, I had chills! Great song for Judith!
same thoughts
I would love to hear Judith and Donovan sing this song together.
Absolutely brilliant.
100% !!!
Judith, stop it! Stop making me come up with superlatives with which to praise you. You are AMAZING!
I try not to praise her too much, she’s only human and made mistakes. No one is perfect. But I agree she is wonderful. I’ve come up with superlatives myself.
Gods angel ilove you
Stunning vocal
I was expecting "Eres Tu" Catch the Wind (Simon & Garfunkel)...but still impossible to be disappointed when Dame Judith sings!
Love the strings, guitar work, apart from her amazing voice
Whoa.. . V excellent cover rendition indeed... fr soprano Judith Durham !..(seeker s vocalist!)
Love the hat Judith.
Always loved this song. Perfect harmony. The Seekers really did it well, but Donovan captured it first.
It’s 11:15pm, May 31, 2021. I’ve never heard of her. (Heck, I’d never heard of John Prine until 3 years ago.) She’s wonderful.
I didn't hear of her until a few months back, after she had already passed away :) Wonderful..yes. And I'm not just saying that. I've looked at other videos of her on TH-cam and I agree.
This voice gives me the heebie - jeebies. Wish I could have seen and listened to her live. I hope her health is good and she has a good life.
I hope she will be in my next life to keep listening to her voice. I love her very much, even though I have never met her. God bless her now and beyond this life.
A nice rendition and as much as I love her voice, Donovan sings it with such an aching longing feeling.
Beauty.
I would've given my left knacker to hear her sing this with Donovan. That would've been sensational
Bravo, Judith
Wonderful!
Judith,
For standin' in your heart
Is where I want to be
And long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
awesome song.... Judith is magnificent... she has a voice given by God....
Very very nice!
And on the 7th day God said I am going to take a break from rest and create Judith.
