With the variety of music & Talent of the Seekers if i had to pick one group to listen too for the rest of my life it would be the Seekers hands down. Such beautiful music
Thank you for posting this video on The Seekers! I am old enough that their peak years coincided with my high school years. But it's taken 50 years for me to really discover the personalities behind their music (unlike the Beatles). I was always struck by the power of the female lead and now can put a name to it. However, I have concluded that The Seekers needed Judith Durham's voice as much as she needed Athol's, Keith's and Bruce's. The men's harmony and back up vocals is to Judith's voice as are the spices and side dishes that enhance a delicious culinary masterpiece. The Seekers exemplify the adage that 'the sum is greater than its parts.' As for Judith's departure in the late sixties, the trend of that period saw the popularity of that kind, as well as many other kinds, of music wane, and the fading of many similar groups such as The Cowsills, the Mamas and the Papas, the Fifth Dimension, Peter Paul and Mary, and even the Beatles. But the amazing thing is how ageless the music of that era are compared to today's. (I am also amazed that none of the three blokes asked Judith for her hand in marriage! I would have!)
If only they knew the joy they bring to millions, and help many like me lift their depression when we play and listen to their wonderful voices and songs. Thank you so much The Seekers.
A great video I'm an American The Seekers were my favorite folk group-- they still are .nothing Corny about them they are fantastic. I was thinking with Judith Durhams illness that she is to the Australians may be what Linda Ronstadt is to us Americans. two great women singers who unfortunately have lost the incredible voices that they once had but we still love them.
Rich963, you enrich963 us all with your work recording the Seekers and their stories. In such high quality too - it makes a difference. Your work is important, and very much appreciated by us all. Thank you Sir!!!
My Dad a WW2 Pacific Veteran. I grew up on Australian culture and respect and always Loved this on our '57 Chevy radio. Timeless traditional music for my Grandkids!
They will forever be my favorite group of all time. I did not get to meet them when I went to the other Melbourne (I live in the one in Florida) last May (2016); but I did get to meet Judith;s wonderful sister, Beverly Sheehan. Beverly is also a really good singer.
Actually would have been from late 1995 as the “World of The Seekers” video was released then - “The Seekers At Home and Down Under” was released on video in 1997. Also the old “Today Tonight” logo in this clip was changed at the beginning of 1996.
I'm still trying to find "The World of the Seekers" online. I'm in Canada, and can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know of a site that might have put it online? I'd really appreciate it.

Another great post, Rich. I'm 68 years old and I can't get this music out of my head; for my generation it never gets old,

The Seekers, 1966 number 1 in the world. Number 1 for me for all times.
If only they knew the joy they bring to millions, and help many like me lift their depression when we play and listen to their wonderful voices and songs. Thank you so much The Seekers.
Quite true! When I get down a bit I listen to The Seekers and it lifts my spirits.

Same Holy Spirit
A perfect lady and an extremely talented group much loved around the world.
Judith's voice! That voice! An angel come to earth.
The four of you create a magical sound. One of my favorite groups
Oh for the days when music was music. They were a big reason I favor folk and folk rock. Tunes that are timeless and voices you can understand.

The Seekers are my favorite singing 🎶 🎵 group.
Amazing
Why can't their tv specials be released in the US? They are only available on region2-4 DVD's.
superbe vidéo merci salutations depuis la suisse
Love jou Judith
I think they are going to be famous
Because they required no studio gimmicks, the Seekers were the absolute best group IMO.
Judith was the main jewel with the other three in close proximity.
Golden

Subliem.
3.08 "perhaps a little corny now" opines the voice over; - twaddle and balderdash of the highest order.
