What a lovely reaction, beautiful lady. All acoustic instruments and no auto-tune! Sadly Judith Durham died last August at the age of 79. Unique voice They'll never be a song like this again, its so natural and raw, beautiful
I do remember seeing a recording session with Sinatra and the wrecking crew all.in one studio probably with a young glen campbell some where when he was a young guitar for hire
The Seekers came from Australia and went to London, toured the clubs and became No.1 on the hit parade. Judith Durham's voice is wonderful. She passed us by only a few months ago, and I did truly cry.
This is a prime example of 60s folk/rock, and a beautiful song it is. This is from a long gone era when real people, with real talent, created real music while playing real instruments. And the music was fantastic. Want to hear an equally beautiful song from this same era? Check out "Both Sides Now" by Judy Collins. And make sure it's the original studio version and NOT live. You can thank me later. 😊
There is plenty of great music around today . But it is not in the mainstream eg Listen to London Grammar "what a day" , or "America ". Low = "Amethyst ". First Aid Kit " a long time ago " The National "Oblivions " to name a few.
The first time I heard this song, many years ago, it knocked my socks off. The Seekers did more than just a grand slam homer. They knocked the ball out of the ball park with this one. Give a listen to other Seekers songs. Just about everything they have ever recorded can be found here on TH-cam. Enjoy! You will not be disappointed. As far as I can tell, they have never released a bad song. Don't be surprised if you find yourself listening to their songs again, again, and again. There are few groups around that have the genuine talent that the Seekers display in each and every one of their songs.
Us Australians will always have fond memories of their music. Judith Durham (lead singer) had a very special and unique voice. Their songs were something to behold. Thank you Onyin for your reaction. Bless you. Elizabeth from Australia. My favourite song of theirs is 'We are Australian'. The best harmonies as you say.
Truly beautiful song with fabulous voices. I am a longtime jazz and rock fan but I always found this song so genuine and authentic with gorgeous harmony and a phenomenal lady singer. Great reaction!
When you have gone threw there catalogue of songs unbelievable then there farewell concert listen to I am Australian live in there twilight years you will cry for a week of how beautiful it is wow
Beautiful reaction. With the talent in the group, everything they put out is very nice. For me, the two songs by them that really stand-out are this one and "A World of Our Own".
I watched your reaction to “I am Australian” when they were old and loved you reaction. Even with all their wrinkles and grey hair they were exceptional musicians and BEAUTIFUL people and you saw that! I love this song from when they were young with Judith Durham and her 70’s dress and pigtails. She was such a class act! My mom used to sing this to me when I was young. It’s nice to see such grace and talent. They really were amazing! R.I.P. sweet Judith! 🙏
Judith has a great voice like a caricature from a 60's era / film . she genuinely one of the greats, she also an aussie irish folk . what a great song though
"Georgy Girl" was probably their other great hit, (here in the US) and well worth listening to. I'm glad that you love this fine song--this might be considered folk/pop music---as characterized by acoustic instruments and voices. Honest and true.
Lovely reaction dear lady. I respect your feelings for this clarion sound, beautiful voices, harmonies & precise guitar picking, especially on that Maton 12 string guitar. All Aussie talent, such a wonderful blend sounds recorded at the Abbey Road studios London. Thank you for your heartfelt genuine reaction.
Loved your reaction to a favourite group of mine. I first heard The Seekers on the radio that year and tell in love with their talents. Unfortunately, Judith died last August but there is a large catalogue of their music.
Hi my daughter, this was a fabulous reaction. I don't know that I've ever heard this song before but it is wonderful, as you said. Good to see you on here in such a lovely way and I love the green outfit, by the way. So here's to your next reaction! I love you very much! 🙏😊❤️
Judith's voice is very beautiful as well as her personality. The song tells us about not leaving someone's company without giving their name, however the song tells us that it tells us about the promised land and that it doesn't matter if she loses everything since what she cannot lose is who accompanies her. It refers to Jesus and some consider the song a gospel.
The only problem with this song ios there really isn't someone for all of us. Most of us never find another person to spend our life with. Unfortunately it just isn't presenting a realistic [life experience.
That's great too - but totally different to the Seekers. That's a good example of why it's pointless comparing! (I see what you're getting at though: harmonies.)

This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
Lovely reaction. ✌️
“The Carnival is Over” has to be your next Seekers reaction.
Thanks 🙏🏻

Number one with their first UK record release.
Have to be very good to achieve that.
When I'm drunk and want a happy cry, It's The Seekers. :)

Judith was barely 20 when this was recorded in the Abbey Road Studio so pretty close to a teenager. Beautiful music.
Pure music, talent, and a great message. It doesn't get any better.
the seekers the carnival is over also all over the world you will love them both
Lovely reaction to our Wonderful Seekers! Warm Wishes from Australia🦘🌻

We all (millions) loved Judith. RIP Sweet sweet girl.
Judith Durham was amazing. It blows my mind to see her in this video at 21 or 22 years old. What a great voice!
Beautiful reaction. With the talent in the group, everything they put out is very nice. For me, the two songs by them that really stand-out are this one and "A World of Our Own".
🤎🤎
This song came out when I was 7 years old and I have been listening to it for 60 years. One of my all time favourites.

you have a beautiful soul. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate this beautiful song.
Listen to them singing Georgie Girl, or Morningtown Ride which is a kids song and makes me cry each time I hear it
If you want to hear the absolute best of the late Judith Durham, may I suggest that you watch "When the stars begin to fall"
For me, it's her "Danny Boy".
Lovely reaction dear lady. I respect your feelings for this clarion sound, beautiful voices, harmonies & precise guitar picking, especially on that Maton 12 string guitar. All Aussie talent, such a wonderful blend sounds recorded at the Abbey Road studios London. Thank you for your heartfelt genuine reaction.
Georgie girl was a song they recorded for a movie by the same title. It may have won the Oscar that year.
Loved your reaction to a favourite group of mine. I first heard The Seekers on the radio that year and tell in love with their talents. Unfortunately, Judith died last August but there is a large catalogue of their music.
This song knocked the Beatles off the number one spot on the London charts. To do that in the mid 60s, you had to be incredibly good.
Hi my daughter, this was a fabulous reaction. I don't know that I've ever heard this song before but it is wonderful, as you said. Good to see you on here in such a lovely way and I love the green outfit, by the way. So here's to your next reaction! I love you very much! 🙏😊❤️
Aww thank you so much dad 🥰❤️
@@OnyinPearl for another Australian song that will definitely tug on your heart strings check out the beautiful song Absence of you by Tim Minchin
A couple of other great songs from The Seekers are “I Am Australian” and “The Carnival Is Over” you will love these songs too.
She this is a beautiful song! ❤ we all have that special someone we wish we could have ended up with...but it wasn't meant to be 😢
Judith Durham was also a pretty good jazz singer, as well as singing gospel and folk songs.
The guitars (you were asking) are a 12 string and a 6 string, both steel string acoustics.
Dusty Springfield's brother Tom wrote most of their songs🎵🎵🎶🎶👍👍👍
Wow...
The movie A Mighty Wind is a comedy-homage to this era.
I love it!
If you want to be moved to your core with exceptional Aussie voices. listen to twins -The Veronicas and the song called You ruin me.
I think my favorite Seekers's song is "The Carnival is Over"
Similar to Linda Rondstat, Judith Durham was the voice of a generation. The purest vocal sound of any era.
2 guitars and double bass played by Athol Guy

Try this one, Boney M. - Rivers of Babylon (Sopot Festival 1979) th-cam.com/video/l3QxT-w3WMo/w-d-xo.html
That's great too - but totally different to the Seekers. That's a good example of why it's pointless comparing!
