I'm an American fan, now 68, and I grew up with the Seekers. Yes, Judith's soprano is what may have set them apart, but the tight harmonies of the men blended just beautifully, and the songs I remember made them something truly memorable in my life.
I recently watched, on TH-cam, Judith Durham's appearance on "This Is Your Life". She conducted herself with dignity and humility and there was nothing to indicate that this was anything unusual for her. What a wonderful voice. What a wonderful singing group. True ambassadors for Australia. In the 21st century with all its problems, gender confusion, torrents of filthy language, rampant violence at the slightest provocation, and unrestrained greed, what a breath of fresh air this group really is.
The Seekers are proof that, when talented musicians with good and humble hearts and with an angel in the lead come together, timeless magic can happen.
Judith Durham has one of the most beautiful, heart tugging voices I've ever heard in my life. I'm a grown man, but I can't listen to "There will never be another you" without tearing up.
I'm a Yank, 59 years old, and I've been in love with Judith Durham for most of my life. She and the rest of The Seekers are one of the great gifts Australia has given the world and I am so profoundly grateful for having been alive to see it.
I'm a native of the Eastern Kentucky hills and yes, I do play the 5-string banjo and know and love so many of the old folks tunes of the mountains but hearing the beautiful singing of this girl from a world away and the excellent harmonies and musicianship of her band mates just kicks me in the gut and evokes wonderful memories. Thanks to Ms. Durham and The Seekers.
The Seekers are one of the very best groups ever. Their music touched our souls and gave us memories that will always be cherished. Thank God for them.
The seekers were fantastic. All very talented, and Judith’s voice was amazing . And Judith is so modest that she didn’t even realise how beautiful she was back then. 👍👍🇬🇧
As a child I grew up loving Judith's beautiful voice not knowing then that Melbourne was home to her and all the Seeker's. As a Melburnian now with silver threads in my hair I'm so chuffed to share something more apart from knowing, enjoying and singing all their songs. There will never be another Judith for sure 🎶🙏🌷Rest in God's Peace💕 Judith and thank you for the 🎵
Back in 67 my mom bought the album Georgy Girl, I was 7 years old and looking at the album cover, that's when I fell in love with Judith. She was so beautiful.
The Seekers, one of the best and most popular bands ever. Recently, I have rediscovered their music and it still resonates today. I love the positive, uplifting songs. And to see them reunited yet again, is so heartwarming, especially to hear them voice forgiveness over the 1968 breakup, and to embrace and probably better understand, in hindsight, their story and path to where they are today. Bless The Seekers for bringing us so many happy memories and beautiful songs. Judith was a lovely looking girl back then and an attractive woman today. They can still deliver the music in 2012, long live The Seekers and when they sadly pass, we'll still have their wonderful music to enrich our lives. Thank you for the music!
I really expected to see them fall short of their lofty position of 40 yrs ago but I will say that Judith's voice is even BETTER than back in the old days. Unbelievable. I guess that comes from living a righteous life. Thumbs up (and let's all say a prayer for the philistines who gave this a thumbs down)
I will 66 in August I remember the Seekers as a young boy I"ve always loved there music and they are blissed by all mighty God they still sing like Angels God Bliss them all.
A beautiful woman, with a beautiful voice. The world needs more Judith Durham's. She is the essence of what a woman should be, kind loving caring and sensitive. Judith, in today's world it truly would be hard to "find another you". The Seekers music is timeless, anyone with a heart will always listen to it. They are the real deal and were not thrown together by some record company. This is good, honest sincere music.
Couldnt agree more Captain..Not like todays so called celebs with their filthy mouths, no dignity or self respect.Judith is a real Woman..She knew how to behave in Public..Some of these Creatures today are a Disgrace.
The Carnival is Over is such a HUGELY """STRONG""" and powerful song. I still cry today (8 years after my husband passed) when I hear this song. It was played as his casket was placed in the car on his way to the cemetery. My husband and I went to their 25 year anniversary reunion and was such a beautiful night, we sang every song. Even after this long time Judiths voice is still so strong.
Along with ABBA, my favourite groups, and yes, they were right up there; everything they sang was beautiful, melodic and memorable. You DON'T hear anything like The Seekers today.
She is a lovely lady both inside and out and so are the guys. Just nice decent people with exceptional talent who shared it with the rest of the world . Thank you , Seekers
I suspect many of us older male fans may entertain such wild and unbridled fantasies as having Judith cling to our arm as we proudly stroll down the lane....or maybe that's just me. In another posting, one lovely chap was commenting on an irresistable urge to hug his monitor... I know that feeling! Even at 75, Judith still exhibits an extraordinary radiance and beauty that captures this heart and pleases these 71 yr old eyes. jtk
Nothing like seeing four friends getting together and enjoying the simple pleasures of making musical magic together. Thank you Judith, Bruce, Athol and Keith for sharing your talents to give your fans so much.
I was only 10 years old when they started singing later on when I got to be a teenager I love them Still Loving today 68th and a half and her singing still makes a tear come to the eye. Thank you for your music may God be with you.
I loved Judith from the get go. Wow! What a knock out Sheila! Jehovah God has many blessings and for me, the Seekers are a blessing. Thank you for the upload.
You and I are about the same age and were late teens, early 20's when they were singing in the 60's. She was my girlfriend for a while (in my mind, that is). I didn't know they were still performing. They were sure great in the day and still sound great on TH-cam.
ahhh Judith ... you are so much more than attractive and acceptable,,, you were and still are a beautiful woman with one of the most amazing voices in our generation ... thanks for the memories ... thanks for your amazing voice
Yes, and because Judith wasn’t / isn’t vain about herself, it gives her a “real ness” and winsome beauty that girls who are stuck on themselves could never, ever, ever have. And the guys too, all 3 were blessed to just consider themselves “normal people” as Judith said in another interview I just watched with One Plus One. The Carpenters were phenomenal but they ended up with problems, drug problems, eating disorders, emotional problems that the fame brought them that they apparently weren’t able to handle. Watch the One Plus One interview with Judith. It’s fabulous!
OMG... I still sing this music at the top of my Lungs in my car... and I am 51 years young.. a GenExer... LOL This group and a few others, formed my whole musical life, and more.
Nearly a boomer mate, I'm born 30/12/1964 which according to some makes me a boomer by one day. I remember my older sister playing the greatest hits over and over when I was about 4 yrs old. Also from Melbourne and have loved them ever since.
So many groups end up with their heads in the clouds after a successful career, but the Seekers really do seem to have their feet firmly on the ground despite being one of the best bands of the 60s. And they still sound brilliant.
We, the public, are so fortunate to have lived our lives during the rise and shine of these very genuine and talented group of singers and musicians. I for one am so grateful to those who helped them on their way, brought them to our attention and have given us these recordings. I myself have only managed to see them live once, during the 1960's, but am so pleased to relive the terrific songs, music and voices. There will never be four stars to touch them. Bless you all for many years of joyous listening.
Agree with you, Richard. They were something. They (and she with that voice) brought happiness to millions around the world. She deserves a state funeral in the Land of Oz
What a wonderfully uplifting video this is - thought it's not without its share of sad moments. An ordinary and *normal* bunch of people who created a very extraordinary and truly amazing sound. It is no wonder they are as great today as they were all those years ago. No modern day artists can make music with such beautiful melodies and harmonies as The Seekers.
Rob Harris agreed, I think it’s possible that they were the two best female vocalists ever. The tonal quality was precise and the power almost overwhelming.
I never knew that Judith had suffered from eating disorders or that their break-up had been so painful for the boys. It adds a whole new dimension to my perception of them. And that spontaneous moment between Bruce and Judith at 11:06 is one of the most moving I've seen. Bruce's vulnerability is beautiful and his open-spirited nature and courage in revealing it is just so lovable. That moment between them reminds me that it is our vulnerabilities that make us lovable to one another and yet we all go through life hiding and disguising our vulnerabilities with all the vigour we can muster. I'm so glad I found this interview. It has really stirred my heart and maybe even taught me a valuable little life lesson too. Thank you to a beautiful group that I have only recently discovered as they were before my time. How blessed am I.
I think you have said something very profound right there. "It is our vulnerabilities that make us lovable to one another, and yet we all go through life hiding and disguising our vulnerabilities with all the vigor we can muster."
Such an amazing story! The way they met while working in the same office building. Judith's amazing singing voice (even though she suffers from bronchiectasis). Their story is so magical. They had a brief but glorious career and a very special place in pop music history.
That is really the truth. A beautiful woman in every way. No need for makeup, plastic surgery, fake this or that and she aged beautifully. Just a natural girl. Always love you Judith. Thanks Seekers for such great music.
watched video. Sort of depressed me. took me back to the 60's. I have always love the Seekers. Their songs give me goose bumps. I wouldn't trade the 60's even for a new life God bless the Seekers!
Such a joy to see this. I was a child in the 60's,(born in 1960),but I vividly recall my sisters playing The Seekers daily,almost to the point where our parents threatened to throw the record player through a window! So I'm amazed that I remembered as much of their work as I did here. And they sound just as they did all those years back,and could still knock the Rolling Stones of the top spot.
The Seekers are to the 60s what Abba is to the 70s . Great vocals catchy tunes and humble genuine humans that respect each other. No drama just timeless songs. They will always be relevant and timeless and the passing of any one of these musicians is truly heartbreaking!!
I hope they go on forever,one of the greatest harmony groups ever. It's so good to see a 1960's group that is still the original lineup,still together,still alive,and having fun making music.
Absolutely one of the greatest groups. Judith was/is a sweetheart who gave it up because she wanted to go back to Australia, get married and have children... which she did and all power to her.
+Halo101st yup! I'm only 34 so I wasn't around when they first came on the scene. I was 12 years old when I first heard Georgy Girl and then a little bit later heard I'll Never find another you. Ironically, They were having their25 year anniversary around the time I was discovering them for the first time as a 60s group! I just recently heard the rest of their music. I heard Morningtown Ride on a children's cd at the daycare I worked at and looked it up on youtube to find out who origionally sang it and discovered that the Seekers did and found there other stuff too! Now I'm one of their biggest fans!
+Beth schneider I just had a thought, Beth. Girls today who are the same age Judith was then can get an instant preview of what age looks like. They said they are in their 70's. That surprised me. Also, I did not know they were as big as they apparently were in the '60's although I loved their songs. They are amazing, aren't they? I loved Judith then, and I love her now. What a voice (cut crystal). How great that you like '60's music. There never was, or has been, music like that since. Those artists, and they were true artists, seemed to fade away very quickly. They have been missed by us all. Do you have children? If so, they cannot be very old and perhaps you could introduce them to 'good' music early.
+Halo101st I don't but I have kids I sit for and I have nephews and honorary nephews and nieces that I have introduced to Seekers music. I sing I'll never Find another you at nap times and it works like a charm!
Catherineone Yeah apparently nobody knows what that is in todays world, especially in entertainment circles, where its all about ,how much ass they can show, because they sure cant sing.
I love the Seekers! Uplifting and just a beautiful part of musical group history. I listen to them a lot on Pandora. I work in Intensive Care as a Registered Nurse. This music is both soothing and makes me happy on days off when work is very stressful. I listened to them over a 16 hour drive from Florida to Texas over 2 days. The music kept me happy and also alert. I was more tolerant during traffic delays as well!
It's weird yes. However, you find that a lot of people who society thinks as beautiful, In that person's eyes, they think they're not. Mainly because they have never been told that they are beautiful or they are the modest type who think there are far better looking people than I or there are the wise types who would rather be remembered by their achievements rather than their looks.
um.. WOWOWOWOW!! After 50 years they still sound fantastic!!! Judith's voice is simply amazing - to last so well for soooo long (goodness now I'm feeling old!!). Just unbelievable.
What a harmony vocal led by Durham. I enjoy all of their music especially ‘ain’t love easy ‘. God bless them. Thanks for music touched our hearts colored our lives.
GOD BLESS THE SEEKERS AND ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL BANDS THAT HAD TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF EMOTIONAL TERMOIL! YOU GUYS ARE REMEMBERED AND LOVED BY ALL OF US IN THE U.S.A.!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU'VE HUNG AROUND. MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIMES IS OF COURSE GEORGY GIRL. I CRY EVERY TIME YOU SING IT. YOU BRING ME BACK TO THE 60'S. THE TEARS ARE OF COURSE JOYFUL TEARS.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. We see what happens to so many groups that hit it big. Maybe it was gods wisdom, maybe it was best for them and best for us that we simply had a taste of them back in the 60s. That we and they are now able to enjoy The Seekers even more for what they were and what they are now.
Growing up as a teenager in the 60's, I became totally influenced by the voices and harmonies of groups like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and the Seekers. Their sound will never fade. The Seekers , especially Judith, were a class act!
right very little voice degration, but its not really all the high notes that they are doing, not like the voice shreading music that some sing, like hard rock, or the stuff sir paul sings he cant even hit some notes anymore, he is a good musician and all but he just cant hit notes anymore, and saddly too as he was one of the most iconic musicians of the cold war period. I like the song never find another you, its soo easy to liston too and such a song that has some real profound emotion and a real meaning of true love, but I hate the song georgy girl its sounds too hoaky.
manga12 It's true that Paul (McCartney) can't hit the high notes anymore but I think you're just plain wrong when you use the word "sadly" and say he was one of the most iconic musicians of the cold war period. He remains one of the most iconic musicians of the period and remains one of the two most iconic songwriters in history. There's nothing sad about him, nothing sad about how he performs and certainly nothing sad in the eyes and hearts of those who grew up with him during the Beatles hey day and who continue to enjoy the music he still writes.
I love, love, love the Seekers. I can't get enough of them. I'm playing their songs and videos all the time. Their music is so addicting and I love it.
wow; i'm just blown away! i had no idea they broke up so soon! and to think that Judith had that low view of herself! it's beyond belief! how is it possible??? how lucky they ALL are that they were able to get back together again. not everyone has a second chance. the world is a richer place because of people like them....
Judith Durham and other Seekers--long time American fan here! I am a Californian who loves all of your music. So sorry to hear of the terrible loss of Judith's husband. I always wished her the best. Hope you are singing again still.
Judith Durham will never be forgotten she was very talented with a beautiful voice. Rest in Peace.
RIP a beautiful girl ❤
I'm an American fan, now 68, and I grew up with the Seekers. Yes, Judith's soprano is what may have set them apart, but the tight harmonies of the men blended just beautifully, and the songs I remember made them something truly memorable in my life.

They were amazing. But she was exquisite.
I recently watched, on TH-cam, Judith Durham's appearance on "This Is Your Life". She conducted herself with dignity and humility and there was nothing to indicate that this was anything unusual for her. What a wonderful voice. What a wonderful singing group. True ambassadors for Australia. In the 21st century with all its problems, gender confusion, torrents of filthy language, rampant violence at the slightest provocation, and unrestrained greed, what a breath of fresh air this group really is.
Well put, David
The Seekers are proof that, when talented musicians with good and humble hearts and with an angel in the lead come together, timeless magic can happen.
An angel with perfect pitch, no less.
Sublime
Donna .... 100% agree. They have always been my favorite group.
And she was always modest in dressing and didn't have to dress like a tart as some of today's 'pop sensations' do. Her voice told the story.
@@brianmorris8045 How she dressed was none of your, or anyone else's business!
Judith's voice is so wonderful. It just touches you deep in your soul. She still sounds incredible.
Judith Durham has one of the most beautiful, heart tugging voices I've ever heard in my life. I'm a grown man, but I can't listen to "There will never be another you" without tearing up.
Likewise!
ditto
Perfectly put!
Right!
Me too
Judith Durham had an amazing voice and the harmonies were also amazing. What a group!
Such a beautiful voice. Such a beautiful person. Rest peacefully, Judith ~ so grateful your music lives on!
I'm a Yank, 59 years old, and I've been in love with Judith Durham for most of my life. She and the rest of The Seekers are one of the great gifts Australia has given the world and I am so profoundly grateful for having been alive to see it.
Faz.muita falta a sua.presenca
What a group! What a voice Judith has, backed up by fantastic musicians. Judith is the Karen Carpenter of the 60's Love their music!
Unfortunately with same self issues
Fortunately overcame but then brain issues
JUDITH DURHAM'S VOICE IS MAGNIFICENT. She is a gift. Thanks, Judith.
The Seekers should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they were a very underrated group.
They weren't that underrated, In fact, they were one of the biggest bands In the world.
I love this group. The female vocal is crystal clear and wholesome.
I'm a native of the Eastern Kentucky hills and yes, I do play the 5-string banjo and know and love so many of the old folks tunes of the mountains but hearing the beautiful singing of this girl from a world away and the excellent harmonies and musicianship of her band mates just kicks me in the gut and evokes wonderful memories. Thanks to Ms. Durham and The Seekers.
The Seekers are one of the very best groups ever.
Their music touched our souls and gave us memories that will always be cherished.
Thank God for them.
Fantastic group and Judith Durham must have one of the best voices ever !
Agree
As an American in the 1960s, we loved The Seekers, and still do!

This makes me smile, this was such a wonderful time and you could actually understand what they were singing!!!!!!!✌️

So many groups end up with their heads in the clouds after a successful career, but the Seekers really do seem to have their feet firmly on the ground despite being one of the best bands of the 60s. And they still sound brilliant.
The most wholesome band of all time.

Judith Durham,one of the greatest female voices ever.And such a great person,also.
Up there with Karen Carpenter - one of the great pop voices.
In this interview you can see that she is quite the spark, not carried by the boys at all. She is a beautiful, classy, talented example to women.
Rob Harris agreed, I think it’s possible that they were the two best female vocalists ever. The tonal quality was precise and the power almost overwhelming.
Pete Smith Judith Durham ..One class act! The guys were also class acts .
Her and Mary Travers from P,P&Mary both have that same voice style but you can hear Judith's vibrato in her Voice
One of the great things about them is the group harmony, musically and emotionally, after all these years

the seekers are timeless Judith Durham still has the voice and face of an angel. good luck and long life to all of you.,
Wow! What a great memory, and a tribute to these people that still sound amazing after 50 years
Such a joy to see this. I was a child in the 60's,(born in 1960),but I vividly recall my sisters playing The Seekers daily,almost to the point where our parents threatened to throw the record player through a window! So I'm amazed that I remembered as much of their work as I did here. And they sound just as they did all those years back,and could still knock the Rolling Stones of the top spot.
Oh wow
MAY THE SEEKERS LIVE FOREVER... LOVE YOU JUDITH...I have tears in my eyes listening to the interview,,,, SAD!
Judith's beauty hasn't changed and her voice is amazing, I loved her way back then I still love her.
Wonderful people, wonderful voices, great songs and a great story! Thanks for sharing it! I was, and l am still, your fan.. God Bless!! 🇺🇸
The Seekers are to the 60s what Abba is to the 70s . Great vocals catchy tunes and humble genuine humans that respect each other. No drama just timeless songs. They will always be relevant and timeless and the passing of any one of these musicians is truly heartbreaking!!
I hope they go on forever,one of the greatest harmony groups ever. It's so good to see a 1960's group that is still the original lineup,still together,still alive,and having fun making music.
Luv how their voices melt together in perfect harmony.
there will never be another you!!!
I'm Yank, but the Seekers make me wish I was an Aussie!!!! God Love 'em!!
Bless them all and Judith you will be dearly missed xxxx
Absolutely one of the greatest groups. Judith was/is a sweetheart who gave it up because she wanted to go back to Australia, get married and have children... which she did and all power to her.
+Halo101st she never did have children but she go back to Australia and get married. but she ironically met her husband back in England.
+Beth schneider
Thank you, Beth. I did not know that. She was charming, wasn't see?
+Halo101st yup! I'm only 34 so I wasn't around when they first came on the scene. I was 12 years old when I first heard Georgy Girl and then a little bit later heard I'll Never find another you. Ironically, They were having their25 year anniversary around the time I was discovering them for the first time as a 60s group! I just recently heard the rest of their music. I heard Morningtown Ride on a children's cd at the daycare I worked at and looked it up on youtube to find out who origionally sang it and discovered that the Seekers did and found there other stuff too! Now I'm one of their biggest fans!
+Beth schneider
I just had a thought, Beth. Girls today who are the same age Judith was then can get an instant preview of what age looks like. They said they are in their 70's. That surprised me. Also, I did not know they were as big as they apparently were in the '60's although I loved their songs. They are amazing, aren't they?
I loved Judith then, and I love her now. What a voice (cut crystal).
How great that you like '60's music. There never was, or has been, music like that since. Those artists, and they were true artists, seemed to fade away very quickly. They have been missed by us all.
Do you have children? If so, they cannot be very old and perhaps you could introduce them to 'good' music early.
+Halo101st I don't but I have kids I sit for and I have nephews and honorary nephews and nieces that I have introduced to Seekers music. I sing I'll never Find another you at nap times and it works like a charm!
Judith, please, never stop singing!
Listened to them in the 60's and 70's as a youngster/teenager....Still listening...have all their music on CD now
The truly magnificent incomparable voice of Judith Durham
One word CLASS
Catherineone Yeah apparently nobody knows what that is in todays world, especially in entertainment circles, where its all about ,how much ass they can show, because they sure cant sing.
Still love this group!
What a great band and a spellbinding woman. I'm so glad to have rediscovered the Seekers. They truly were remarkable.
I love the Seekers! Uplifting and just a beautiful part of musical group history. I listen to them a lot on Pandora. I work in Intensive Care as a Registered Nurse. This music is both soothing and makes me happy on days off when work is very stressful. I listened to them over a 16 hour drive from Florida to Texas over 2 days. The music kept me happy and also alert. I was more tolerant during traffic delays as well!
I was a Los Angeles teen back then and I loved the Seekers. So glad after all those years they got back together. Lovely !
I love this music. I'm so grateful that we have their recordings to lean on in these rough times.
How beautiful it is to see and hear the 4 original members, it is a real privilege to hear them sing their hits.
Hello from US, Seekers. I'm 62 y.o.--loved you back then, love you still.
I remember Judith and her Husband coming in to our shop every weekend in the 80's very nice people,
How could she have ever seen herself as unattractive? She has always been beautiful with a beautiful voice. She is beautiful now
It's weird yes. However, you find that a lot of people who society thinks as beautiful, In that person's eyes, they think they're not. Mainly because they have never been told that they are beautiful or they are the modest type who think there are far better looking people than I or there are the wise types who would rather be remembered by their achievements rather than their looks.
best music ever
And she still sings like a Wonderful songbird!
@Patrick Names th-cam.com/video/xCws3PNCUco/w-d-xo.html , , tell me she's average at best. I'd tear that shit UP!
Back in the days when a woman's worth was measured in her beauty, it's not surprising.
Don't hear any accent when Judith sings but it sure come out when she speaks. Love it and love the Seekers!
+Roger Forsman actually you can hear her accent when singing alot more in the more recent stuff. But her old stuff you can't really hear it at all.
Accents usually lessen during singing. Also stutters. Mel Tillis the country singer stuttered when he spoke but not when he sang.
She is such a beauty
um.. WOWOWOWOW!! After 50 years they still sound fantastic!!! Judith's voice is simply amazing - to last so well for soooo long (goodness now I'm feeling old!!). Just unbelievable.
What a harmony vocal led by Durham. I enjoy all of their music especially ‘ain’t love easy ‘. God bless them. Thanks for music touched our hearts colored our lives.
GOD BLESS THE SEEKERS AND ALL THE OTHER WONDERFUL BANDS THAT HAD TO GO THROUGH A LOT OF EMOTIONAL TERMOIL! YOU GUYS ARE REMEMBERED AND LOVED BY ALL OF US IN THE U.S.A.!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR ALL THE YEARS YOU'VE HUNG AROUND. MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIMES IS OF COURSE GEORGY GIRL. I CRY EVERY TIME YOU SING IT. YOU BRING ME BACK TO THE 60'S. THE TEARS ARE OF COURSE JOYFUL TEARS.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. We see what happens to so many groups that hit it big. Maybe it was gods wisdom, maybe it was best for them and best for us that we simply had a taste of them back in the 60s. That we and they are now able to enjoy The Seekers even more for what they were and what they are now.
Truth Indeed AMEN
Judith, you're a beautiful woman, and a great singer, and you're fronting one of the best groups in pop music history. Thank you to The Seekers
Growing up as a teenager in the 60's, I became totally influenced by the voices and harmonies of groups like The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and the Seekers. Their sound will never fade. The Seekers , especially Judith, were a class act!
I agree! Peter Paul & Mary, The Mama's and The Papa's, Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Pony's ! What a great era and I was there to see it!
BeachBoysJanDean1 me too.
My God that voice!!!
Judith's voice is remarkable. No sound of aging at all. Thank you Seekers.
right very little voice degration, but its not really all the high notes that they are doing, not like the voice shreading music that some sing, like hard rock, or the stuff sir paul sings he cant even hit some notes anymore, he is a good musician and all but he just cant hit notes anymore, and saddly too as he was one of the most iconic musicians of the cold war period.
I like the song never find another you, its soo easy to liston too and such a song that has some real profound emotion and a real meaning of true love, but I hate the song georgy girl its sounds too hoaky.
manga12 It's true that Paul (McCartney) can't hit the high notes anymore but I think you're just plain wrong when you use the word "sadly" and say he was one of the most iconic musicians of the cold war period. He remains one of the most iconic musicians of the period and remains one of the two most iconic songwriters in history. There's nothing sad about him, nothing sad about how he performs and certainly nothing sad in the eyes and hearts of those who grew up with him during the Beatles hey day and who continue to enjoy the music he still writes.
mrfester42 This is about the Seekers not Paul McCartney.
kevin heming Really? I thought this was the Beatles! --- No shit Sherlock? Can't you see I was responding to someone else?
mrfester42 Obviously you are a little confused.This is an open forum not a private conversation just for you and your rambling messages.
I love, love, love the Seekers. I can't get enough of them. I'm playing their songs and videos all the time. Their music is so addicting and I love it.
OMG..Judith still sounds stunning.. what memories when I hear her voice.. Lookin forward to hearing more of them.
Here in the USA we love the Seekers! Such a unique sound! Led by beautiful Judith Durham!!
wow; i'm just blown away! i had no idea they broke up so soon! and to think that Judith had that low view of herself! it's beyond belief! how is it possible??? how lucky they ALL are that they were able to get back together again. not everyone has a second chance. the world is a richer place because of people like them....
Judith Durham and other Seekers--long time American fan here! I am a Californian who loves all of your music. So sorry to hear of the terrible loss of Judith's husband. I always wished her the best. Hope you are singing again still.
