I'm sorry you children didn't get to live through those years like I did. As a 70 year old man I really love the way you guys enjoy the old songs is heartwarming to me. Please keep up the good work.
Double Ditto Brothers. Today is my 71st birthday If you are like me, this music takes me back to my early teen age years. This was the kind of music that shaped a generation. One of my early favorites was "Rhythm of the Rain by the Cascades" Thanks Jay and Amber for reacting to all kinds of music. To be perfectly honest, there is some music that I have to skip over because it just isn't me. But I have followed you from Jays doing reactions by himself to the first song the two of you reacted to as a couple, and I know that eventually you will get around to some earlier music. Big Kudos to both of you and your kids.
Thankfully, we have TH-cam where we can look up all the music we missed. One thing that TH-cam cannot reproduce is the culture shock that usually accompanied such musical releases. I was in elementary school when Michael Jackson's Thriller was released. I was only vaguely familiar with popular music having been raised on John Denver, Elton John, Beach Boys, Neil Diamond, Barry Manillow, etc. When Thriller came out it was everywhere. My school PE class performed a dance to "Beat It"; my sister bought the record album; we recorded The Making Of Thriller TV special off of TV and watched it frequently (it might have been the thing that introduced me to "Weird" Al.) I became pretty familiar with several songs from Thriller... and that was without ever listening to the radio! I can't imagine the culture shock when the Beatles arrived.
You two rock!!! I’m 64 years old and I am amazed at how great you two are!!!!! You’re such great people! You have manners, morals, sincerity, and you both are such a great example of family and faith!!!! I love you both!!! Thank you for giving me hope for the world and the people in it!!! God bless!! ✝️💟☮️
I'm also 64. J. and Amber are the only reactors I've stayed with for the last couple years. The others are OK, but these 2 seem to be down to earth and nice folks. Always give a thumbs up.
Judith Durham had such a clear, ringing voice. Sorry she passed away a few months back, but the treasure she and the group left behind is a treasure of great price.
I have tears in my eyes, I was in Vietnam when the Seekers appeared. Judith Durham is one of the greatest vocalist of my generation :) Try 'When Stars Begin To Fall' Judith hits notes that you have never heard before!
The golden voice of Judith Durham. The problem with growing up in the sixties was that you took it all for granted and only now realise how we were blessed. God Judith, you were fantastic.
I haven’t heard this song in over 50 years, but sang along to every word and it brought back the amazing hopeful feeling of the times, oh that we could bring just a little of that back today. ✌️
Great choice, Amber. The two most distinctive female voices of my generation--Judith Durham of the Seekers and Linda Ronstadt. So glad to see young folks like you two enjoying their music!
It can't be our National Anthem imagine having it sung at Olympic ceremonies or overseas with the words "I am YOU are we are Australians" lol I dont' think other than Australians they would appreciate that lol. I love it when they do sing it at sporting events and concerts though. I loved the last performance with dear Judith...may she Rest In Peace.
@@justlinsu I see your point. However, the Olympics is all about forging unity between nations and think the words reflect that. As a Scot, I love our Scottish national anthem “ Oh Flower of Scotland” which is sung at Commonwealth, rugby and international football events. At the Olympics as GB we have “ God Save the Queen”
You really got to do their 2014 farewell concert rendition of I AM AUSTRALIAN 🇦🇺 Amazing how great they all still sounded! It's not only Australians that love this tune... it's a beautuful song & was from back in 1987. ✌️♥️
Have you listened to We Are Australian? Their farewell/last live concert. Aussies consider it their anthem. It’s so moving and embraces the history of Australians. ❤️❤️
"Now your lips can erase the heartache I've known. Come with me to a world of our own." are some of the most romantic lyrics I've ever heard. The story of a lover's homecoming has made this one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm happy to see that the two of you have enjoyed it as much as I do. ❤
The Seekers are an amazingly under-rated group: the melding of 2 guitars and a bass, the purity and strength of Judith's voice, the harmonies of the group and the great songs they perform...this group is a winner for me! ❤ Thanks for reacting to this one.
I'll never find another you is a definite must if you haven't listened. I remember my mom singing to the Seekers when I was a little girl...good memories ❤
Growing up in the 60s The Seekers were my favourite group. Judith's voice was and remains the best I've ever heard and their harmonies were just beautiful. They split up way too early because Judith wanted to pursue a solo career. Despite the stress of the break-up, (the boys did not want to split) they remained friends throughout their lives. Judith died a couple of years ago and was given a state funeral. It would be great if you could watch their rendition of "I Am Australian" which many people would like to become our national anthem. It was written by Keith Woodley, one of the band members. Beautiful people who made beautiful music.
Great reaction guys... This group brings back memories of better times... They toured in the late 1990s and early 2000s right till 2004... You should see if you can find a performance from the 1990's or 2000's... What I really wanted you to see is how good Judith Durham was even in her advanced age... Her voice lost nothing... She loved to play piano and sing at her home... Some say she got better as she got older... Thank you for reacting to The Seekers again... I'll see you on the next one... Keep being awesome !!!...
Rob and Amber you created a world of your own, and about 497k subscribers. Rob thanks for starting this whole thing in your hoodie and brick wall background. Amber, I can’t say enough about you. You self described as a “baked potato “ when you started, you were preggers and not feeling great. But now you’ve allowed yourself to show how bright, intelligent and beautiful you are. I visit this world every evening . Love most of the music. And Happy New Year!
She could sing anything saw them in Belfast in 2014 on their 50th Anniversary tour, she looked so small and frail and then started to sing, she had the voice of an Angel.
I’m 72 and a rock afficianato from my first recoed in 1956 till now with over 1000 live concerts under my belt, My favorites, Pink Floyd, stones, zeeplin , and AC/ DC are part of my life’s soundtrack. I listen to your songs of the day every night at 11 in bed, find it brings me restful sleep. When I saw you respond to THUNDERSTRUCK 2 years ago your enthusiasm enthralled me. I feel the joy of first time hearin* thru you 2, you sold me for life. Just saw your It’s a Wonderful Life review as first time movie(on my all time top 5) and will be watching weekly. Thanks love BUD
The Seekers have such great voices that blend so well together. The female lead Judith has such a unique beautiful voice. Their sound embodies the folk music sound of the 60s. Do check out their other hit "I'll Never Find Another You"
Nice thing about today, is that you have access to music from many years!! Yesterday was good, but today is in ways, and can be in others too!! You have many years of history’s wisdom to learn from. Amen.
Another fine song from the Seekers with the great voice of Judith Durham. This was their second hit in the UK ,the first was 'I'll never find another you' which is another great song worth checking out-Colin Ward
What is stunning to me is to see the Seekers' reunion performances, where it's the same four as on the original records, and her voice is just as crystal clear and beautiful as ever, along with the supporting voices and the sound. There is such a sweetness seeing them 30-40 years older still sounding the same.
I always loved their harmonies and Judith Durham had a great voice. It just sailed through the backing vocals. My favorite of theirs was I'll Never Find Another You...
Some groups just put a smile on your face whenever you hear one of their songs. The Seekers are one of those groups. My mother's favourite group when I was a kid growing up in the lat 60s. And they still sound so fresh even today, more than 50 years later.
I love her voice so much and the harmonies are impeccable and they're playing these lines with lots of motion at the same time and the balance of the vocals is just really good.
I enjoy watching you guys take this journey song after song. I am a child of the 60's, a teenager of the 70's and a young man of the 80's. The videos you do are the soundtrack of my life. Everyone takes me instantly back to a time and place, the memories of people, places, and events flood in every time. These were different times, crazy times the world was changing so fast, it was a time before video games and the internet the music was on the radio and on TV shows your telephone was on the wall. We had amazing music and high handlebars and banana seats on our bikes and we graduated into muscle cars. You hung out with friends and had adventures, you skinned you knees, you broke bones. We survived. Thank you for taking this journey and
I grew up hearing The Seekers, and I love the tracks you've played so far. So hears another two to be getting on with! Lol. WHEN THE STARS BEGIN TO FALL I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.
a big response when the reacted to Another You. Search TH-cam for Rob Squad Seekers to see the Seekers they have reacted to so far. So you can hear their response straight away.
No similarities between Karen Carpenter's voice and Judith Durham's voice in my opinion. Durham had a very high and almost operatic soprano voice while Carpenter had a very low contralto voice.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the Seekers (and all the other clear, simple 1960s sounds you review) perhaps even more now than I did when these songs were released and I was about 13 years old.
As a 67 year old biking rocker, you'd expect my funeral song to be AC/DC or Motorhead.etc...but no, it's this song by The Seekers. A real 60's vibe when all was groovy and optimistic. :)
Aussies here. It's the folk-rock sound of the 60s. Judy Durham passed away in late 2022. So the obits reminded us of The Seekers. One song I remember was "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing." It was originally a Coca-Cola commercial that was so popular that somebody decided to add and modify the lyrics, and it was put out by The Seekers and got them another hit.
"I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" is a wonderful song they should definitely try. However that song done by The New Seekers which, I believe, has none of the original members of The Seekers. Well, they definitely did not include Judith.
@@rrailguitar2211 i think you are right on that and also keith potger of the seekers helped form the new seekers i don't think he was in the group but helped set it up
Another great Seekers tune. Timeless. Keep going. Love Judith's pure clear voice. Folk music was huge in the late 50s and early 60s. It largely went away with the British Invasion. The Seekers lasted longer than some. Please check out The Weavers (Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and Goodnight Irene), The Kingston Trio (M.T.A.and A Worried Man) and Peter Paul and Mary (500 Miles and If I Had A Hammer). And That's just a start. Some songs are originals and there are a lot of covers. Peter, Paul and Mary did a lot of Dylan songs.
A talented aussie band. RIP Judith. Please do play the Seeker's awesome song "I Am Australian". Listen to the words really carefully. You will love it.
Great you have done another Seekers song. But please please please take a look at some of the other 60's UK ladies especially Cilla Black (Anyone Who Had A Heart, You're My World, If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind, Alfie, Loves Just A Broken Heart) and Sandie Shaw (Long Live Love, Always Something There To Remind Me, Puppet On A String, Tell The Boys) and some more Shirley Bassey (Where Do I Begin-The theme from Love Story, This Is My Life)
The seekers were from Australia and became famous in the 60s in England, but there was a singer from South Africa who was just as or more famous than Seekers at this time. His name is Roger Whitaker. He has a unique voice and introduced us to his way of incorporating his whistling into his songs. Check him out you'll be amazed.
Guitarist were Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, Athol Guy on bass - all were active in Australian music for over 50 years - Athol managed a new group in Britain after the Seekers broke up in the mid-70s called The New Seekers - check them out! Next Seekers song, either Kumbaya or Morningtown Ride pls!
I took my Mum to the Royal Albert Hall in London during The Seekers 50th Anniversary Tour,my Mum had been a fan of theirs back in the 60s when she was a teenager but had never seen them perform live. Mum was in her 70s when she finally got to see them live on stage and as Judith Durham began singing Mum sat their crying moved by Durhams beautiful voice after all those years. After the show a group of fans waited by the door for the group to leave and as Judith walked out everyone was singing A World of Our Own to her😢
Others I would REALLY recommend by the Seekers: Colors of My Life (dizzingly gorgeous), and -- for the kids -- Morningtown Ride. It's a totally sweet bedtime song. R.I.P. Judith Durham. A beautiful voice, like honey.
Judith Durham's voice added that special "something" to all the Seekers songs..... At 20 years old, Judith hit the big time in London with the Seekers. She rang her mother back home in Oz, saying I may not be home for a while......
I'm sorry you children didn't get to live through those years like I did. As a 70 year old man I really love the way you guys enjoy the old songs is heartwarming to me. Please keep up the good work.
Ditto brother, I'm turning 71 next month, and we lived through the very best times for music, up into the 80's also.
This is my first time hearing this song. I wish I would have lived through this era of music where the lyrics had meaningful messages.

The late great Judith Durham is one of the greatest female vocalist of all time.
Amen.
she was wonderful
She is definitely up there with Karen Carpentar
You beat me to that comment! I completely agree
100%
You two rock!!! I’m 64 years old and I am amazed at how great you two are!!!!!
You’re such great people! You have manners, morals, sincerity, and you both are such a great example of family and faith!!!!

I love The Seekers. The guys are wonderful and Judith Durham is one of my favorite female singers.
🎉❤🎉
Super group! She was wonderful and happy that I grew up with their music.
RIP Judith Durham AO, one of the most exceptional voices of all time......
She was not a Dame to the best of my knowledge.
@@idanwillenchik3050 you are correct, my bad, have changed my post accordingly
Rest in Peace Judith.
amen

Great choice, Amber. The two most distinctive female voices of my generation--Judith Durham of the Seekers and Linda Ronstadt. So glad to see young folks like you two enjoying their music!
Don't forget about Petula Clark!
Judith, Linda and Karen are my favourite female vocalists
@@Dede-fx8rn I hope that they get back to Petula. She had so many good hits.
"I am Australian" should be their National Anthem. Give it a listen.
Absolutely the quintessential Aussie inclusive song
As an Aussie I agree with you
I am Scottish but love this song. I agree it should be your National Anthem . It epitomises Australia
It can't be our National Anthem imagine having it sung at Olympic ceremonies or overseas with the words "I am YOU are we are Australians" lol I dont' think other than Australians they would appreciate that lol.

✌️♥️
💯
If you'd like to introduce the kiddos to The Seekers, check out "Morningtown Ride". It is a beautiful lullabye.
Yes definitely! They should react to the version of The Seekers with some children on a train! It’s FANTASTIC!
Have you listened to We Are Australian? Their farewell/last live concert. Aussies consider it their anthem. It’s so moving and embraces the history of Australians. ❤️❤️

"Now your lips can erase the heartache I've known. Come with me to a world of our own." are some of the most romantic lyrics I've ever heard. The story of a lover's homecoming has made this one of my favorite songs of all time. I'm happy to see that the two of you have enjoyed it as much as I do. ❤
Written by the much under-rated Tom Springfield (brother of Dusty). His writing seemed to match perfectly with the Seekers' style.
Judith had a voice of an Angel! She made the Seekers famous because of it!!!!!
The Seekers are an amazingly under-rated group: the melding of 2 guitars and a bass, the purity and strength of Judith's voice, the harmonies of the group and the great songs they perform...this group is a winner for me! ❤ Thanks for reacting to this one.
Never go wrong with the Seekers! Try ‘I am Australian’
Love the Seekers. Judith Durham is one of the best female vocalists of all time!
I'll never find another you is a definite must if you haven't listened. I remember my mom singing to the Seekers when I was a little girl...good memories ❤

Judith so tiny and a massive distinctive beautiful voice.
You two make me smile so much more than you'll ever know!!
I think this song is more beautiful today, than when it was released in 1965. Thank you for warming the hearts of all us seniors.
Judith! What a voice! Omg! What a voice! Forever missed! ❤
Judith sang in a jazz band , before she joined the seekers .
Theres video on TH-cam ,
And she can play the piano very well ❤
No gimmicks, just talent.
No showing skin, no dancing like a beaver with rabies, just pure simple musical ability.
Harmonization is what this group was able to nail! Love their music
The Seekers were great, they always reminded me of Peter, Paul & Mary…great song, guy’s! 💜💜

Tears of joy ..when I hear the seekers sing .such happiness like a child's summer day playing in the sun great memories
Morningtown ride is one of their best songs
My absolute favorite. Their children would love it.
God bless Judith. What a beautiful singing angel she was! 😍
Judith was a concert pianist. If you were to watch the farewell concert in the UK you will see her on it.
The kids, big and little, will love “Morningtown Ride”by the Seekers

They did over a year ago.
@@idanwillenchik3050 ok thanks, I must have missed that one
Probably my favorite group of the 60's. And considering the talent that existed in that era, that's saying a lot!
The Seekers stage appearance was professional and classy.
Grew up to their music, I am a huge fan, Judith thank you for the music. R.I.P
Love the Seekers .... ever since they began!
One of the very best exports from down under.
Still listen early & often.
Great group harmony & Judith's voice is simply ear candy.

I always loved their harmonies and Judith Durham had a great voice. It just sailed through the backing vocals. My favorite of theirs was I'll Never Find Another You...
What a voice, that song didn't extend her at all, it just poured out of her effortlessly.
Some groups just put a smile on your face whenever you hear one of their songs. The Seekers are one of those groups. My mother's favourite group when I was a kid growing up in the lat 60s. And they still sound so fresh even today, more than 50 years later.

No similarities between Karen Carpenter's voice and Judith Durham's voice in my opinion. Durham had a very high and almost operatic soprano voice while Carpenter had a very low contralto voice.
Good point, but both among the greatest voices of all time
The Seekers are great.
Thanks for this. I appreciate the Seekers (and all the other clear, simple 1960s sounds you review) perhaps even more now than I did when these songs were released and I was about 13 years old.
Their voices were totally REAL !! No digital signal processing. Judith Durham had the voice of an angel.
Fantastic song .... the Seekers were absolutely exceptional, what a superb singer Judith Durham was.
Ahh Judith. One of those voices I could listen to for hours. So clear and wonderful.
The electric acoustic 12 string can bring a world of difference to a piece of music and Keith is a master.
The Seekers were so great! Thanks for this one!
As a 67 year old biking rocker, you'd expect my funeral song to be AC/DC or Motorhead.etc...but no, it's this song by The Seekers. A real 60's vibe when all was groovy and optimistic. :)
Aussies here. It's the folk-rock sound of the 60s.
Judy Durham passed away in late 2022. So the obits reminded us of The Seekers.
One song I remember was "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing." It was originally a Coca-Cola commercial that was so popular that somebody decided to add and modify the lyrics, and it was put out by The Seekers and got them another hit.
"I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing" is a wonderful song they should definitely try. However that song done by The New Seekers which, I believe, has none of the original members of The Seekers. Well, they definitely did not include Judith.
that was the new seekers two different female singers nice voices as well
Yes. The New Seekers, not The Seekers.
Damn! Wrong again! (I think the old Seekers manager was mixed up with the New Seekers though, according to AllMusic.)
@@rrailguitar2211 i think you are right on that and also keith potger of the seekers helped form the new seekers i don't think he was in the group but helped set it up
Colours of My Life also by the Seekers is a great song as well!!
I do miss the music from that time. I also liked Morning Town.
A foreign voice is Diana Ankudanova. May I suggest 16years old singing Wicked Game.
So glad you chose this. It was one of my mam's favourite songs.
Another great Seekers tune. Timeless. Keep going. Love Judith's pure clear voice. Folk music was huge in the late 50s and early 60s. It largely went away with the British Invasion. The Seekers lasted longer than some. Please check out The Weavers (Kisses Sweeter Than Wine and Goodnight Irene), The Kingston Trio (M.T.A.and A Worried Man) and Peter Paul and Mary (500 Miles and If I Had A Hammer). And That's just a start. Some songs are originals and there are a lot of covers. Peter, Paul and Mary did a lot of Dylan songs.
I so agree the seekers were one of the 60's best
Her voice was bell-like.
A talented aussie band. RIP Judith. Please do play the Seeker's awesome song "I Am Australian". Listen to the words really carefully. You will love it.
Judith had a beautiful voice
Great you have done another Seekers song. But please please please take a look at some of the other 60's UK ladies especially Cilla Black (Anyone Who Had A Heart, You're My World, If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind, Alfie, Loves Just A Broken Heart) and Sandie Shaw (Long Live Love, Always Something There To Remind Me, Puppet On A String, Tell The Boys) and some more Shirley Bassey (Where Do I Begin-The theme from Love Story, This Is My Life)
The seekers were from Australia and became famous in the 60s in England, but there was a singer from South Africa who was just as or more famous than Seekers at this time. His name is Roger Whitaker. He has a unique voice and introduced us to his way of incorporating his whistling into his songs. Check him out you'll be amazed.
He was from Kenya or British Kenya/British East Africa as it was known at the time.
What a catchy beautiful sing from The Seekers!! They really were sensational & should been given more credit. 💝💝
Guitarist were Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, Athol Guy on bass - all were active in Australian music for over 50 years - Athol managed a new group in Britain after the Seekers broke up in the mid-70s called The New Seekers - check them out! Next Seekers song, either Kumbaya or Morningtown Ride pls!
It was Keith Potger that set up and managed the New Seekers and even performed in a few of their recordings.
I just checked to confirm this.
Love the seekers!
Yes their music is sweet and innocent and being that they were a 60s folk group they had protest songs like "we shall not be moved".
Please listen to "I am Australian" by them next, it's outstanding 🇭🇲
It might be if you`re Australian, otherwise its nothing special.
@@telstar4772 I get that, kinda like "born in the USA" here. They strike me as people curious about things they're not familiar with though
I took my Mum to the Royal Albert Hall in London during The Seekers 50th Anniversary Tour,my Mum had been a fan of theirs back in the 60s when she was a teenager but had never seen them perform live.
Mum was in her 70s when she finally got to see them live on stage and as Judith Durham began singing Mum sat their crying moved by Durhams beautiful voice after all those years.
After the show a group of fans waited by the door for the group to leave and as Judith walked out everyone was singing A World of Our Own to her😢
Way back in the 60's there were no computers and very little in recording equipment no dubbing what you heard is what they played and sang.
Others I would REALLY recommend by the Seekers: Colors of My Life (dizzingly gorgeous), and -- for the kids -- Morningtown Ride. It's a totally sweet bedtime song. R.I.P. Judith Durham. A beautiful voice, like honey.
I remember mum and dad had lots of their records. they were an amazing feel good group
Great music, as always brings back wonderful memories, Great music never dies, it just gets re-cycled and we'll always have it!
Judith Durham's voice added that special "something" to all the Seekers songs..... At 20 years old, Judith hit the big time in London with the Seekers. She rang her mother back home in Oz, saying I may not be home for a while......
The greatest pure female vocalist in popular music. And she sang with such power and clarity while suffering with a congenital lifelong lung disease.
Hi from Memee to everyone. I’m a Southerner raised in Mississippi transplanted to South East Georgia 15 years ago. Love ye both
I love, love, love The Seekers. They were not together for long, but their fabulous folk songs will live on as classics from the sixties.
I’m 70 as well and you two take me back to my childhood. Thank you for playing this.❤
