1964 I was 13 living in an orphanage now I’m 71 It's Aug 9 I felt I needed to stop by because it’s been a long time since I listened to these songs. I didn’t know of Judith’s passing August 5. Fans will continue these lovely songs 💕 In Christ Jesus my Saviour -Steph
Me too, Steph ... same vintage God bequeathed to me! There were some sublime songs making their way to us ... God attracted me to music since I was 5, so it was natural that I would be spiritually uplifted by the good music. And He amazingly used a few key songs to spring me loose from the "golden ghetto" of my wealthy life, to embark upon the open road ... alone into the wilderness, in fact, where I found Jesus and left a new man - for keeps. This was an inspired piece, to be sure. In Christ my Savior and my very Heart, Bob
Hello David, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
I'm 74 and a being of student-run college radio in the US midwest in the late 1960s. I've heard it all when it comes to the '60's music. The Seekers weren't especially on my radar other than "Georgie Girl". However, as a retiree replaying music, I fell in love with a lot of their music, including "Another You". Early in Summer 2022 I scoured TH-cam for everything I could find on them, especially Judith Durham. There was something truly magical about her voice and smile. The news of August was personally truly devastating to me. And then her death was dramatically overshadowed by the loss of Olivia Newton-John a mere 3 or 4 days later. Judith Durham and her beautiful voice and talent were truly a gift to mankind. The beauty of her voice and music live on in accompaniment with the 3 gentlemen as she rests in peace. May her memory be for a blessing.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I couldn’t imagine it performed by any other band. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve listened to it, it always moves me emotionally.
I can feel her energy, her spirit, the other band members blended in perfect with her beautiful voice. I can listen to their music over and over and over again!!
I remember being a ‘car headlamp flasher’ to Radio Caroline - with my girlfriend Sue. 53 years of marriage on she is in a Carehome with advanced dementia. I play her this song and sing along, her face comes to life and I get a loving smile of recognition, she holds my PPE gloved hand and beats time - which makes my life... Thank you Seekers!! Frank (Since posting my message I’m very sad to say that my dear Susie died from a chest infection in November 2021. I was with her as she went - and THE song was sung…. Our youngest daughter put a video projection together for the well-attended funeral and (needless to say) the sound track was …”I’ll never find another you”.) Thanks for your many kind comments! Today I learn Judith Durham has died…. The song so true of her as well my Sue. May she rest in peace - and sing again!
💜🙏💜💔 beautiful, so wonderful that you sing this to her, she's blessed to have such a wise, loving and faithful husband/friend. May God bless you both. Music is healing💜💜
What a lovely story so heart warming x our bodies are designed to experience such short life on this planet x with my research into nde we will be with our loved ones after we leave this earth x
There will never be another group like the Seekers. Never. More than 50 years and am still searching for a group that can bring you as much joy as listening to the Seekers does. I first heard them when I was in school around 1967/68 and even today I can’t help but bow to them for the joy and happiness they have brought me
Hello Suresh, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
Tell me a group in the history of the world that sounds better 50 years after their first #1, than they did back then. Only one group, ever. The Seekers. Incredible.
I am in my 60s and I just discovered this angelic voice.not too long ago. Memories of a trip I made long ago to land down under . Reminders of my late mom. How many times I played and replayed this song. What an uplift during the Covid era. And the news of her passage. Such a late discovery on my part and such a rapid departure. RIP as you gave meaning to this song to me, my late mom, a sweet heart long since moving on with her life but present in my heart. There will certainly never be another you.
Judith is in a league of her own. Her voice is as strong as ever, and she hits the notes like she did when she was young. The boys are still charming, and they play the instruments and provide backup vocals to judith like it was in the 60s. Pure talent.
Time has past and so has she. This saying is especially true now. I listened to her growing up, so I may be hearing her again very soon. I find it odd that I don't feel as sorry for my hardships as I do for those that I well remember. Maybe because it is my loss. When I pass it will be someone else's loss. I try to live my life so that someone will have a fond memory of me.
This song is one of those that gives me goosebumps and a tear in my eye. Now that Judith has gone to sing lead with a choir of angels there are more tears for i know there will never be another Judith. Her voice was just wonderful and what a beautiful person she was too. How lucky we are to still be able to listen to her voice. RIP Judith. x
Judith's voice will live on. The Seekers sang in the range of their own voices. What a combination, and a joy to hear. I was bursting with joy to hear this song.
Dusty Springfield was a truly great singer, so was Linda Rondstat, but Judith Durham's unique style, somewhere between folk and opera, does it for me. Tears me up like no one else.
I wept when I found out that Judith had passed...Truly the voice of an angel. I sing this song to my husband frequently, and can never get through it without tearing up. Those emotions will only be stronger now. 💔
Hello Michael, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
I love this song. My wife and I have been together 22 years today, June 18th, 2024. Every year for the past few years, I have dedicated the Abby Road studio version to her on Facebook on our anniversary. FWIW, we are both retired and I will soon be 79. This song is our song. Thank you, Seekers, and especially, thank you Judith. May You Rest In Peace for singing our favorite song...
@@pattistilwell7424I can’t listen to Judith without crying. Her voice pierces my heart every time I hear her from the first time I heard her to now. No other singer touches me so deeply and profoundly.
All my life I've never been able to hear or sing this song without crying my eyes out. Crying gives me awful sinus headaches so I only listen to it every few years or when I need a really good cry.😭🤧
I always thought it quite sad that Judith took "critics" opinions to heart about her appearance. She was a lovely, extremely talented soul inside and out. One of my favorite groups ❤️ Harmony.
I have to agree, she's beautiful and sings like an angel, what's to criticise, these guy's are great, I was born in 1966 and remember hearing their music and songs around our house, God bless my Mum.......thanks xx.
I loved the Seekers, especially the 12-string guitar which I've always found uniquely uplifting. I can never view this clip in the Apple studios enough. I love the way Judith stands there with her hands on her hips and belts out a flawless vocal. I can't explain it, really, but she always somehow looks defiant to me. Great instrumentals + great vocals = sheer brilliance. Forever in my memories!
Yeah, yeah... hands on her hips. She gets me everytime I see that. As iconic as Elvis shaking his, Chubby twisting his, and Michael gyrating on a moonwalk. All different stances, different statements, but oh, so equally powerful and uniquely their trademark and gift to the world of song and dance!
I was married in 1978 to my dear wife, Patti. Pleased to say this was one of two songs I chose to have played live at our wedding. Have always cherished the true meaning of the lyrics. Have loved the Seekers all these years and very saddened to learn of the passing of Judith Durham, RIP Judith, you have spread so much love across the Earth. God Bless you!
Ok, I'm weeping. Judith Durham has one of the great voices of all time and her bandmates are amazing. Best "geezer" act I ever heard. Oh, and I NEVER knew it was recorded at Abbey Road. Great factoid!
Just hearing her voice in full song continues to make my tears run - after 57 years. I suppose it’s utter bliss. I feel so lucky to have experienced it - in a life full of predominantly magnificent classical music, too!
As practically a child, Judith's voice was perfection in 1968. 25 years in 1993 it was even BETTER. How does one improve on perfection? Fast forward 21 years and still perfect in 2014 after a major stroke. Simply amazing. The harmony of that quartet is simply amazing.
I was a student disc jockey on WLHA, University of Wisconsin when this first came out. Played it almost once an hour. What a great song, melody, and Judith's voice so clear. I knew it was headed to #1 at the time. I also knew I wanted to feel this way when I met my (future) wife, whenever that would be. Life worked out exactly that way for us. 60 years later we are still together, very healthy, very happy and still very much in love. Thank you Seekers for messaging me early in life. RIP Judith ... :)
Hello Harold, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
I've been listening to this song for 50+ years. Their sound is so special, so unique and so lovely. It actually makes my eyes water that this song is so amazing that, after all these years, it can still move me, emotionally, as much as it does. I don't just hear with with my brain. I hear it with my soul. Thank you, Seekers.
It is a song about that one person we all long to spend the rest of our lives with. If it does not move you every time, it is because you have a callous heart. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard comments almost identical to yours. We are all lucky to have been here to experience the Seekers.
My favourite band. I’m only 37 but loved them from childhood as mum was a fan. I saw every concert from 1993 to 2013 except one tour they did In about 2001 I think it was. I cried for 3 days when Judith passed recently, to me it was the equivalent of people losing Elvis or John Lennon. She has an absolutely beautiful voice!
I'm 81, an old geezer. But this song still grabs me, shakes me around, and let's me down gently. As it did many years ago. I'm happily married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I don't deserve her. This song tells her in a way I can never do.
As a cynical engineer, tears don't come to me that easily, but this is the one song that does it every time. My dad died in late '64, and this was a hit a couple of months later; my mom couldn't bear to hear it because she knew she "would never find another you". She never did. And even apart from that association in my mind, this is a great song brilliantly performed. There are very few cover versions because nobody else could touch it; they certainly couldn't make it better than what came out of Abbey Road 56 years ago.
I absolutely agree! Exactly understand the sentiment. Times were different in those years, and we had war and troubles to be sure, but not to the degree of these days, IMHO. However, we did have the best cars and music, didn't we?! Take care and God Bless! Be safe!
I am exactly the same. Every time I well up. Saw them perform it at the Royal Albert Hall in 1993 and I just stood there in floods of tears. And good that there are very few cover versions - you can't cover this incredible song.
This song is pure magic. And to see this group sing it the same way, in the same key, same tempo, and with the same instrumentation throughout the decades as they age, is incredibly beautiful! Times change, things change, the recording and video equipment evolve, people age, and yet through it all the music rings true. The music that binds them together!
Judith's voice is a gift from God's own hands. These four people are truely what muscianss are all about. They are well polished and after all this time still sound crisp and fresh and youthful no sign of age or even hardships and we know Judith has had a few terrible bouts with life. Her inner strength has always brought her right back to shine like a bright star.
Had the privilege seeing them in Belfast in 2014. Judith looked small and frail when she came on, then she started to sing, it was like 1964 all over again. It was a very emotional night and when they sang The Carnival is Over there was not a dry eye in the house. R I P Judith.
Judith Durham was the lead vocalist for the group between 1962 and 1968, the period of their greatest popularity in the US, crowned by the theme song for the movie "Georgy Girl," which was a bit of a departure from their folk song origins. The group disbanded, then reformed for retrospectives in 1975-1991, with other female leads. During that period, Durham pursued a solo career and composed. Durham rejoined the group and sang lead from 1992-2019, surprisingly retaining the purity of her voice over those decades. She is one of the few popular singers with classical voice training, and it shows. She also trained in classical piano and guitar. In 2013, Durham suffered a stroke that diminished her ability to read and write musical scores, but her singing voice was not affected. She remains one of the finest female vocalists of the 20th century, and beyond. A true legend.
After Judith's brain hemorrhage, and meeting an Australian girl at an open mike night, the following composed itself in my head. After I sent it to Judith, an aide replied that she was thrilled with it. The tune should be self-suggestive: Hey there, Judith Durham Leading up The Seekers through the years You and all your mates gave us lots of fun And memories too - then suddenly Hey there, Judith Durham You had quite the nasty scare that May But your mates stood by you all the way And you pulled right through You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf More than a little bit Hey there, Judith Durham You had quite the rocky road ahead But you brought out all the strength you hid And, oh, what a change there's been The world has seen a new Judith Durham
It's rare a singer sounds just as good 50 years after the first time they perform a song and Judith does it every time. She sounded just as good here as she did the first time she sang this song. Outstaning! Her voice is a true rarity! Absolutely legendary! RIP Judith!
If I could sing, I would sing that song to The Seekers, because there'll never be another group like them: the best group of all time - then, now, and forever.
There is a very special place in heaven for Judith and the boys. Everytime I hear their songs, for some reason they go straight to my soul! The only other performer to do this is Doris Day. Simply amazing. Thank the lord for Dusty Springfield and her brother Tom. The O'Brian kids actually. So talented! They knew talent when they heard it and Tom writing incredible songs for The Seekers, nudged on originally by Dusty, as well as Dusty, were projects made in heaven. What joy!
I was born 1967.I had this song at my wedding 1991. Recently on May 26th 2021 the song just popped into my memory .I sang it for the whole day and that night I lost one of my best friends to Covid.This song epitomizes what she was to everyone.We will never find another Simone
My mother passed in 1968... a couple of years ago, we converted some old reel to reel tapes of her voice to cd... one of her comments in early ‘65 while my dad was radio surfing, was for my dad to find that new song by the ‘Seekers’... she knew all the words just by the radio....see ya soon mom.
Listening to the Seekers takes me back to my childhood, I was born in 65, every Sunday whilst my mum cooked the Sunday lunch the radio would be on, and of course in the late 60's the seekers would be played a lot, my family including my little brother are all gone now, but every time I hear the Seekers it reminds me of those times we were all together.
I have loved this amazing song from the first day I heard it as a teenager. The music, voices and tune are so beautiful and unique. Such fun to see them singing and playing through the years. Judith’s voice is heavenly. The Seekers are such a great group.
I was a child in my Caribbean island hearing that song. It has stayed with me forever, although at that time I did not know the name of the band. Judith Durham's voice is angelic
What more is there? Perfect, solid, masterful backup instrumental with golden musicianship that never overwhelms the vocals, a sweet and positive set of lyrics, and the vocals -- fully skilled and full, with harmonies that fly and ring and cross and rise into a level of pure mastery. That's it, I can't think of better.
A timeless classic, as fresh today as when it was first recorded in the 60s. Great backing vocals from the boys and Judith’s exquisite voice soaring over them like a bird in flight. Just wonderful.
This song has a special meaning for me because back in 1964 I met my wife in London and we've been happily married ever since. We have travelled 4 Continents of the world and she is Truly the only one for me in the whole world. Thanks for post.
Saw the seekers in Glasgow in the sixties with my girlfriend, now my wife of 53 years. Their music still brings back the magic of that era. How wonderful they are all still around.
My goodness , talk about being emotionally invested in a song....I still "well up" when i hear this 50 some years later! Please Lord when my days are over, let me come back to a world that had this kind of talent and music!
The New Kingdom will have that kind of world; beautiful serene music and a world that will be worth waiting for. God will see to it that His children will have peace and happiness.
Hello David, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
It was and still is one of the most beautiful song ever written, performed, recorded and popularised in the 20th Century. Simply put , it touches your heart like a giant steam roller. Ricky Fung from Hong Kong
Judith Durham was and is still a Goddess. Without her divine voice the Seekers would not have existed . I am 72 and was blessed and , at that time , bewildered the hear this on the radio . Wish they could exist forever.
To say that Judith's voice is wonderful is such an understatement. It shouldn't be forgotten that the same is true of all of the members of The Seekers, and of their collective sound.
Arguably one of the best non-rock songs ever recorded by one of the best groups, musically and harmonically, to ever record. The Seekers were, and still are, amazing.
1964 I was 13 living in an orphanage now I’m 71 It's Aug 9 I felt I needed to stop by because it’s been a long time since I listened to these songs. I didn’t know of Judith’s passing August 5. Fans will continue these lovely songs 💕

I agree completely. It was one of my Mum's favourite songs..wed6often sing it late after dinner back in the early 70s.🥰

You've picked 3 of my favourite lady singers.
Same here.
Good characterization of her voice!...vocals mixed just right!
Opera? Folk & Jazz & gospel, Judith early on considered herself a jazz singer before the Seekers. You can hear it in her singing.
50 yrs later and that voice hasn't changed a note!
The voice of an angel. Can't believe that she is no longer with us. R.I.P. Judith.
Nope, her voice always be with us, right? If you like her Angel Tune~ ♾️🎶😍
Mind-boggling that they sound the same 50 years later. I cant get over it. Incredible.
Sadly Judith Durham passed away yesterday (5th Aug) in Melbourne, Australia 😢. Thank you for the music, songs and your angelic voice. RIP 💔

Some songs just say what you heart is feeling! It express an emotion in a song 🌹🙏 Peace !

Without question
No doubt about it.
Absolutely!
Spot on.
The clarity of her voice is off the charts. The notes are a part of her. Beautiful .
That's it exactly. The clarity. Never could figure out why she was/is so great. Thanks...
Yes! She is amazing! There would be no Seekers without Judith! ❤️
Off the charts indeed! I rank her right with Karen Carpenter as the purest and equally flawless voices of the rock era.

I was married in 1978 to my dear wife, Patti. Pleased to say this was one of two songs I chose to have played live at our wedding. Have always cherished the true meaning of the lyrics. Have loved the Seekers all these years and very saddened to learn of the passing of Judith Durham, RIP Judith, you have spread so much love across the Earth. God Bless you!
I so wish such music was popular today among our youth.
Ok, I'm weeping. Judith Durham has one of the great voices of all time and her bandmates are amazing. Best "geezer" act I ever heard. Oh, and I NEVER knew it was recorded at Abbey Road. Great factoid!
Me too Martin.
Just hearing her voice in full song continues to make my tears run - after 57 years. I suppose it’s utter bliss. I feel so lucky to have experienced it - in a life full of predominantly magnificent classical music, too!
Uitvaart Judit Durham
Thanks, Judith, and Seekers for your songs!
As practically a child, Judith's voice was perfection in 1968. 25 years in 1993 it was even BETTER. How does one improve on perfection? Fast forward 21 years and still perfect in 2014 after a major stroke. Simply amazing. The harmony of that quartet is simply amazing.
Judith Durham’s voice is like an instrument, played by a virtuoso it never misses a beat or a note and the diction is perfect.
In in 1964 I was 11, I remember being so in love with Judith, she was drop dead GORGEOUS.
I was a student disc jockey on WLHA, University of Wisconsin when this first came out. Played it almost once an hour. What a great song, melody, and Judith's voice so clear. I knew it was headed to #1 at the time. I also knew I wanted to feel this way when I met my (future) wife, whenever that would be. Life worked out exactly that way for us. 60 years later we are still together, very healthy, very happy and still very much in love. Thank you Seekers for messaging me early in life. RIP Judith ... :)
"I'll never find another you" the song always chokes me up a bit ..
Hello Harold, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
I've been listening to this song for 50+ years. Their sound is so special, so unique and so lovely. It actually makes my eyes water that this song is so amazing that, after all these years, it can still move me, emotionally, as much as it does. I don't just hear with with my brain. I hear it with my soul. Thank you, Seekers.
It is a song about that one person we all long to spend the rest of our lives with. If it does not move you every time, it is because you have a callous heart. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard comments almost identical to yours. We are all lucky to have been here to experience the Seekers.
My favourite band. I’m only 37 but loved them from childhood as mum was a fan. I saw every concert from 1993 to 2013 except one tour they did In about 2001 I think it was. I cried for 3 days when Judith passed recently, to me it was the equivalent of people losing Elvis or John Lennon. She has an absolutely beautiful voice!
The seekers were just so good. Their music is timeless. Judith really does have the voice of an angel
I'm 81, an old geezer. But this song still grabs me, shakes me around, and let's me down gently. As it did many years ago. I'm happily married to the most wonderful woman in the world. I don't deserve her. This song tells her in a way I can never do.
Finally a Fab Four that grew old.
. . . . . . But still GOLD!!!
Judy's voice is impeccable and beautiful. She resounds like 2 voices in one and has not changed at all. Wow!
As a cynical engineer, tears don't come to me that easily, but this is the one song that does it every time. My dad died in late '64, and this was a hit a couple of months later; my mom couldn't bear to hear it because she knew she "would never find another you". She never did. And even apart from that association in my mind, this is a great song brilliantly performed. There are very few cover versions because nobody else could touch it; they certainly couldn't make it better than what came out of Abbey Road 56 years ago.
I absolutely agree! Exactly understand the sentiment. Times were different in those years, and we had war and troubles to be sure, but not to the degree of these days, IMHO. However, we did have the best cars and music, didn't we?! Take care and God Bless! Be safe!
I am exactly the same. Every time I well up. Saw them perform it at the Royal Albert Hall in 1993 and I just stood there in floods of tears. And good that there are very few cover versions - you can't cover this incredible song.
I guess that makes four of us coming to tears. But for me, the tears come for no other reason that this is beautiful music.
@@jeremynv89523 Yup! Reason enough...be safe...God Bless...
I am really sorry for your loss, my dad died in 1969.
I just love the seekers.
Always have.
Judith Durham had an unmistakable voice and she melted me to the floor at every glance.
So beautiful.
RIP Judith 😢 a beautiful lady with a voice to match.
Singing with the angels.
What a LEGEND
We will never find music like this anymore , Thanks The Seekers !!!!!
This song is pure magic. And to see this group sing it the same way, in the same key, same tempo, and with the same instrumentation throughout the decades as they age, is incredibly beautiful! Times change, things change, the recording and video equipment evolve, people age, and yet through it all the music rings true. The music that binds them together!
Judith had the clean, wholesome look of a sweetheart, and voice to match. All the Seekers were at the top of their game. Beautiful music.
Over fifty years and their voices are still beautiful!
*We'll never find another Judith* -- Rest in Peace, Judith Durham.
That voice is unmistakable. Australia's great musical ambassadors. Hope Judith, Bruce, Keith and Athol are all doing well.
It is absolutely astonishing how good they still sound. Just perfection.
Judith's voice is a gift from God's own hands. These four people are truely what muscianss are all about. They are well polished and after all this time still sound crisp and fresh and youthful no sign of age or even hardships and we know Judith has had a few terrible bouts with life. Her inner strength has always brought her right back to shine like a bright star.
Had the privilege seeing them in Belfast in 2014. Judith looked small and frail when she came on, then she started to sing, it was like 1964 all over again. It was a very emotional night and when they sang The Carnival is Over there was not a dry eye in the house. R I P Judith.
There’s an absolute honesty and sincerity to this music. No pretension, no ego, just four voices telling a wonderful story.
Judith Durham was the lead vocalist for the group between 1962 and 1968, the period of their greatest popularity in the US, crowned by the theme song for the movie "Georgy Girl," which was a bit of a departure from their folk song origins. The group disbanded, then reformed for retrospectives in 1975-1991, with other female leads. During that period, Durham pursued a solo career and composed. Durham rejoined the group and sang lead from 1992-2019, surprisingly retaining the purity of her voice over those decades. She is one of the few popular singers with classical voice training, and it shows. She also trained in classical piano and guitar. In 2013, Durham suffered a stroke that diminished her ability to read and write musical scores, but her singing voice was not affected. She remains one of the finest female vocalists of the 20th century, and beyond. A true legend.
The best of the best .
Wow! Amazing lady.
Judith Durham is the nearest we have to a living angel. Purity in her voice and her being. Beautiful inside and out.
After Judith's brain hemorrhage, and meeting an Australian girl at an open mike night, the following composed itself in my head. After I sent it to Judith, an aide replied that she was thrilled with it. The tune should be self-suggestive:
Hey there, Judith Durham
Leading up The Seekers through the years
You and all your mates gave us lots of fun
And memories too - then suddenly
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the nasty scare that May
But your mates stood by you all the way
And you pulled right through
You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself
Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf
More than a little bit
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the rocky road ahead
But you brought out all the strength you hid
And, oh, what a change there's been
The world has seen a new Judith Durham
Gary K. :
Judith Durrham, was never a "vocalist" (a truly dreadfull American term) but an incomparable singer.
Very old Brit here. Thank you for bringing back so many wonderful memories. We where blessed to have so many great artists.
It's rare a singer sounds just as good 50 years after the first time they perform a song and Judith does it every time. She sounded just as good here as she did the first time she sang this song. Outstaning! Her voice is a true rarity! Absolutely legendary! RIP Judith!
Judith Durham’s voice was as good as any singer in history, an extraordinary talent.
RIP Judith. Your beautiful voice will last forever.
If I could sing, I would sing that song to The Seekers, because there'll never be another group like them: the best group of all time - then, now, and forever.
There is a very special place in heaven for Judith and the boys. Everytime I hear their songs, for some reason they go straight to my soul! The only other performer to do this is Doris Day. Simply amazing. Thank the lord for Dusty Springfield and her brother Tom. The O'Brian kids actually. So talented! They knew talent when they heard it and Tom writing incredible songs for The Seekers, nudged on originally by Dusty, as well as Dusty, were projects made in heaven. What joy!
Judith has a great voice but it becomes magic with the boys. That's the true magic. They're truly a team
@Hello David how are you doing
I was born 1967.I had this song at my wedding 1991. Recently on May 26th 2021 the song just popped into my memory .I sang it for the whole day and that night I lost one of my best friends to Covid.This song epitomizes what she was to everyone.We will never find another Simone
I'm Sorry for your loss of your Friend to Covid.
Yes Songbird...That sums her up. I was in a special school when this was released.I am 76 now and have never forget them all
Keith
My mother passed in 1968... a couple of years ago, we converted some old reel to reel tapes of her voice to cd... one of her comments in early ‘65 while my dad was radio surfing, was for my dad to find that new song by the ‘Seekers’... she knew all the words just by the radio....see ya soon mom.
Hello Rosa
Listening to the Seekers takes me back to my childhood, I was born in 65, every Sunday whilst my mum cooked the Sunday lunch the radio would be on, and of course in the late 60's the seekers would be played a lot, my family including my little brother are all gone now, but every time I hear the Seekers it reminds me of those times we were all together.
Hello my dear
My goodness the clarity of those lead vocals. Angelic.
Love the whole band.. Judith is in a league of her own
R. I. P. Judith Durham, you've made millions of people all over the world happier and better seekers of happiness. Thank you!
She has an incredible voice and mesmerizing performance. May God bless her and the whole seekers band members ❤️ Love you all ❤️
Judith's voice rang clear and true as a bell.
I can still remember the Seekers, as a young guy, very good music. Judith Durham.May Her Soul Rest In Peace.🙏 She will never ever be forgotten.
I have loved this amazing song from the first day I heard it as a teenager. The music, voices and tune are so beautiful and unique.
Such fun to see them singing and playing through the years. Judith’s voice is heavenly. The Seekers are such a great group.
Hello Carol
My grandad used to sing this to my nana when she was dying of cancer - it still brings tears to my eyes nearly 60 years later...
Fantastic and strangely moving, they all seem to age so graciously.
I'm crying because of her voice and memory 😭
I was a child in my Caribbean island hearing that song. It has stayed with me forever, although at that time I did not know the name of the band. Judith Durham's voice is angelic
What more is there? Perfect, solid, masterful backup instrumental with golden musicianship that never overwhelms the vocals, a sweet and positive set of lyrics, and the vocals -- fully skilled and full, with harmonies that fly and ring and cross and rise into a level of pure mastery. That's it, I can't think of better.
Hand's on hips,the greatest female singer ever,how I loved the seekers
A timeless classic, as fresh today as when it was first recorded in the 60s. Great backing vocals from the boys and Judith’s exquisite voice soaring over them like a bird in flight. Just wonderful.
This song has a special meaning for me because back in 1964 I met my wife in London and we've been happily married ever since. We have travelled 4 Continents of the world and she is Truly the only one for me in the whole world. Thanks for post.
tears in my eyes every time I hear this sing.
Gorgeous music and wonderful people, what a blessing to grow up with their performances.
Saw the seekers in Glasgow in the sixties with my girlfriend, now my wife of 53 years.
Their music still brings back the magic of that era. How wonderful they are all still around.
My goodness , talk about being emotionally invested in a song....I still "well up" when i hear this 50 some years later! Please Lord when my days are over, let me come back to a world that had this kind of talent and music!
The New Kingdom will have that kind of world; beautiful serene music and a world that will be worth waiting for. God will see to it that His children will have peace and happiness.
@@thetruthbetold961 Amen!
For I know... the world will never find... another band... like YOU!
Thank you for decades of enchanting music.
Hello David, how are you doing. I believe you are staying safe. I'm Patti from California. I'm looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here, i hope you don't mind thank you.
It was and still is one of the most beautiful song ever written, performed, recorded and popularised in the 20th Century. Simply put , it touches your heart like a giant steam roller. Ricky Fung from Hong Kong
Judith Durham… without a doubt my favorite female voice for the last 58 years.
Me too.
Judith Durham was and is still a Goddess. Without her divine voice the Seekers would not have existed . I am 72 and was blessed and , at that time , bewildered the hear this on the radio . Wish they could exist forever.
Amazed, that the same four people were able to come together at the beginning and comeback time and time again and not lose the magic. ✨🦘🇦🇺
Fantastic! What a classy group. And one beautiful song.
HOW do they sound the same throughout 50 years. That is amazing.
Absolute magic.
Real talent, real musicians, thats how
Fine technique and professionalism, using the instruments (particularly the voice) to best advantage.
A little reverb doesn't hurt :-)
Clean living, I hope.
Wonderful band. Gorgeous harmonies and what a singer Judith Durham is! 'Morning Town Ride' was a part of my lovely childhood.
I’m 69 years old and I played this song for my lovely wife on valentines and told her this is how I feel. Such a great song!
To say that Judith's voice is wonderful is such an understatement. It shouldn't be forgotten that the same is true of all of the members of The Seekers, and of their collective sound.
A perfect marriage of voices. Of cours, the right song had to be found. and that came with Tom Springfield, the “fifth” Seeker.
I’m 62 and I love this song since I was 7 and I still listen to it every now and then.
Arguably one of the best non-rock songs ever recorded by one of the best groups, musically and harmonically, to ever record.
The Seekers were, and still are, amazing.
RIP Judith Durham . Thank you for the music
I dedicate this song to my late husband💖🙏thank you seekers
