The Bee Gees I think were still in Australia when The Seekers were at their peak. They wrote Massachusetts for The Seekers, but for some reason it never got passed onto the them, so they recorded it themselves. Many,many years later, The Seekers found out and did do aversion of the song.
Soooo good. Judith Durham, never lost her voice. She sounded the same well into her eighty’s. Check out their farewell concert. You will be amazed. I promise. Keep up the outstanding work, Chad. ❤️
Again, it you ever go back and read any of this….another two great songs they did was A World of Our Own and Georgie Girl…and for Georgie Girl there was a movie by that name..
Fantastic harmonies. You must try another Seekers song. They knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts in the early 60s. Géorgie Girl, the carnival is over, and their final concert decades later with We are Australian. All gobsmacking hits.
I was born in 1955. Trust me when I say that as you dive deeper and deeper into 50's, 60's, and 70's music, you will find a virtual cornucopia of multi-talented singers and musicians from every genre of musical entertainment imaginable, every cultural, national, socio-economic, racial, etc. background in the world. From those three "magical music" decades alone, you will never run out of amazing reactions! And The Seekers with sweet, charming, angelic, gifted Judith Durham were among the very best! They were to Australia what Karen & Richard Carpenter were to the USA! And what both were to their respective countries, they became to the whole world! Great reaction, sir! And, sadly, you are absolutely spot on about the decadence and lack of decency in today's so-called "music" (and in almost everything else for that matter).
Amazing vocals especially from Judith. Her voice was so beautiful with very clear diction. I'm so glad you are doing all of these oldies , some of which I haven't heard for years. Great weekend marathon Chad. Looking forward to the Beegees next weekend. X
Hi, Chad: It's such a joy to see someone who has never heard of the Seekers react to a group that we grew up on. It brought the tears. Your next song by them should be The Carnival Is Over. My favourite song by them is All Over The World from the Georgie Girl album but no reactor is ever going to do it. I would love for a reactor to compare the composer's version to the Seekers' version but that will never happen.
NICE HAT!!!! The song "Massachusetts" was written for The Seekers by the Gibbs but it never got to them through their manager for some reason but when Mo died they did a beautiful version of it as a tribute. Judith had an amazing voice and also that rare quality, a natural vibrato. Her vibrato in "Plaisir D'amour" is lovely. She was about four foot nothing with a six foot powerful voice. Loved this Aussie band. They were HUGE in the 60's with songs like "Georgy Girl", "A world of our own" and "Morningtown Ride", all worth a listen (HINT). A friend of mine grew up in the circus with the bearded ladies and the whole bit...REALLY...and her favorite is "The Carnival is Over". All great songs. Hope you can eventually do more of their songs. Worth the wait. 😊😊 No worries.
@@marygriffiths2950 - Yes he did sing lead. Robin is also mainly credited with writing it. Barry said he came to him with the song and sang it and he loved it, then they finished it together in their NY hotel.
OK, this song was a HUGE number 1 for them. Take a second to appreciate the enormity of what they did. They knocked The Fab Four off number 1 in Britain, at the height of Beatlemania! They had a string of huge international hits, and a couple of number1's. Judith is held by many, of her peers as the greatest female voice ever. Oh, and they had only been in England under 6 months when this song blasted onto the charts. Written by Dusty Springfields brother, Tom. Their first Album also went number 1 internationally, keeping The Stones Goatshead Soup in number 2! One last thought, THAT little red dress, wow! Judith was an absolute gorgeous stunner!
Darn! I love that deerstalker! Judith's voice was clear as a bell. When I was young, like 2nd or 3rd grade, my neighbors were big fans of folk music, like the Seekers and Peter Paul and Mary. I remember this song and grew to love the genre.
So glad you finally reacted to a song by "The Seekers". I asked for it many months ago. Judith Durham had an amazing voice!! There are so many more songs of them that are worth a reaction. I especially like " When the Carnival is over". And as I already mentioned earlier - THIS IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC.
Judith's voice is stunning - of the ilk of a Karen Carpenter. Effortless, pitch perfect, warm. She was classically trained. The Seekers were HUGE in Australia but also were very successful on the international stage. Their harmonies, Judith's vocals and their beautiful instrumentation were their trade mark. RIP to our Judith.
RIP Judith Durham! I love her voice. If you like vulnerable, listen to Tolerate it by Taylor Swift or the whole Folklore album and Evermore album are sad really vulnerable with every emotion that are heartbreaking, amazing lyrics throughout.
Never grows old; simply & real musical talent, great harmony & Judith’s exquisite voice. Even up to their retirement from almost a decade ago, The Seekers have maintained that great distinctive sound. Listen early & often to The Seekers playlists.
Grew up in the 60's some of the best bands, singers and music that will live forever. Each track The Seekers performed was stunning. Check out We are Australian
I love how Judith blends in and stands out at the same time. Her natural warm clear voice has so much quality in every aspect… It always touches me how she stands there so casually hands on her hips in her red 60dress. There’ll never be another Seekers😢
I've come across The Seekers since first getting into old/older music. I'm pretty sure I listened to, at least, one of their songs before; I don't remember if I listened to more than that until just now or not. This is a sweet, beautiful song! This was a great marathon! I can't wait for our Bee Gees marathon next weekend!
They formed in 1962 broke up in 1968 and reformed in 1993 until Judith Durham's passing in August 2022 , this song knocked the Beatles off number 1 in 1964 at the exact same studio Abbey Road in London they have many amazing Hits in later years they would do I Am Australian Co-written by Bruce Woodley of the seekers in 1988 before the reunited The Band is Judith Durham Athol Guy on the double base and Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger . Their last song together was Carry Me a few months before Judith went to Heaven .
Hearing this again gives me goosebumps. 1964 was when I met my husband during my last year at school. This used to play on the jukebox at the coffee houses we used to go to, along with the Beatles, Stones, Manfred Mann, Hollies, the Animals etc.. My husband died some years ago now but I know I'll never find another him !
I remember the first time I heard this song in the early ‘60’s I loved it then and still do.❤those were the days of beauty and innocence, miss them so much.
Please react to The Seekers number 1 song they were famous for "Georgy Girl"! Also "Morningtown Ride," "A World of Our Own," "The Carnival Is Over," "When Will the Good Apples Fall," "Danny Boy," "Love Is Kind," "Colors of My Life," and so many others!!
When I was young my dad played the heck out of The Seekers and New Seekers, as well as Peter Paul and Mary and a few others. That is if he could wrestle the record player from Mom with her Elvis and Beach Boys records. This was my favorite of all their songs and I still play it sometimes when the mood strikes. I'm glad you like it. Good commentary.😀
The very first time I heard I'll never find another you when i was a secondary school student. I heard it from a portable transistor radio at home on a Monday. It was from a BBC program called British or UK Top 20s on a SW band (Short Wave). The program was on every Monday then.
This song is a declaration of love that can still be used today! The melody and beat reminded me of my parents when they were young and happy! An emotional song for me!
I remember my parents listening to this. Sounds like the folk music that filled my home when I was a young child in the late 60s/early 70s. So many great folk singers at that time. Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, James Taylor, Carley Simon. I could totally get into a Weekend Folk Marathon! Wonderful reaction to end the weekend. Thank you
@hereonthe3L you want a huge hint, go listen to Judith singing Sister Kate with Judith Durham and the Hottest Band in Town. Her hubby Ron on piano. She just belts out that Jazz classic!
Now i hear this song my mind says "this song is familair"😉 Most of the time i don't know and did't know the name of a band or slinger. It's a really sweet oldie. Thanks Chad 💝
I remember mom and dad buying this on a 7 inch vinyl single.. 64 I think it was.. They will still have it. Or rather mom will.. dad passed away 2017 aged 90... as they never got rid of any records.. This got played to death on our old dansette mono record player
(Wayne's wife:) I was in a band not long ago and we used to cover this song. We'd get a nice response from the audience because most bands don't do songs like this. My beautiful friend Amanda sang lead on it and always dedicated it to her husband.
Normally Judith would play tambourine however they were in the Abbey Rd studios recording and I'm guessing moving around too much would interfere with the recording devices of the 60s.
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.
Hey man where are you from dude, you sound american, we are in the UK all the way down wolverhampton my friend. Anyway really love your reaction, i wish this music would come back, cause most of todays music is crap to say the least. HEY buddy you said your mom could play, that's cool my man. And you also asked can anyone else out there do three or 4 things at the same time. WEll my friend i can play the keyboard's two at the same time, And sing, I play drums and piano, the Accordion, Xylophone, I can play the organ, Ive done backup singing in bands. and i also play guitar, I just love music, it takes you to another land my man. And boy can Judith Durham sing, What a voice, Not one wrong note, Pitch perfect, Not many singers if any can sing and sound as good as the record, The whole band was really tight. and now they have there voices cheated on a computer, Well some of it it might sound good, but that's not real music bro. i think your channel is great, keep up the good work mate. Before i go, Could you listen to the 1965 live version of unchained melody the righteous brothers. It's AWSOME mate, All i can say about it is, Goose bumps buddy. and the carnival is over, the seekers, thanx pall, paul&sue UK.
Hi Paul I also live in Wolverhampton and being born in the 1950's remember this great music the first time around. But there is plenty of wonderful music around today eg listen to "America " by London Grammar , "Oblivions " by the National or "a long time ago" by First Aid Kit .
Judith Durham had an exceptional voice. A jazz ballad singer at heart, she took a chance as a youngster and joined these folk guys on a cruise ship gig to England, which led to all their lives changing forever. Most of their hits were written by Dion O'Brien, aka Tom Springfield - Dusty's brother. Tom and Dusty were two-thirds of folk trio, The Springfields, before Dusty Springfield left to pursue a career singing Soul and RnB ballads. So it's like Judith and Dusty did a house swap.
My favorite song, esp with Judith Durham's voice. One song that might reach up to the emotions of this song is "Every River" but not the Brooks and Dunn version, but the one from the original composer, Kim Richey on her first album. The band is the A Team of Nashville studio artists and the aforementioned song's lyrics are akin to that of the "I never find another you." Every River chorus When the day comes that I don't love you Every star will fall out of the sky And every mountain will tumble down And every river run dry [Verse 2] Every drop of rain That ever touched the ground For every tear that ever fell And never made a sound I'll be there To hear you call And I'll be there to catch you baby Should you ever fall
I love the Seekers, Chad! Thanks for this reaction. I think you would really really enjoy this later-in-their-career performance of I Am Australian (not an anthem but should be). Love the words, love everything about it: th-cam.com/video/KrLTe1_9zso/w-d-xo.html
No over made up, half naked girls, bad language, tattoos, head banger background noise. Just pure talent, when singers and musicians were singers and musicians, and music was made for enjoyment. Those were the days.
Oh so so many number 1 hits .... There is a video out now that they recorded from their 'farewell concert' Their beautiful performance of "I Am Australian' just brings tears to my eyes still. Judith is seated because she was recovering from a milk stroke...but her voice is flawless and crystal clear. You will be moved even as a non Australian I promise you. th-cam.com/video/DjSiWAwvWGU/w-d-xo.html
The Bee Gees I think were still in Australia when The Seekers were at their peak. They wrote Massachusetts for The Seekers, but for some reason it never got passed onto the them, so they recorded it themselves. Many,many years later, The Seekers found out and did do aversion of the song.
When doing it right, there's no instrument sounding better than the human voice. This sounded so sweet.
Loved The Seekers and Your comments about the music of that era.
Soooo good. Judith Durham, never lost her voice. She sounded the same well into her eighty’s. Check out their farewell concert. You will be amazed. I promise. Keep up the outstanding work, Chad. ❤️
She died aged 79.!
Again, it you ever go back and read any of this….another two great songs they did was A World of Our Own and Georgie Girl…and for Georgie Girl there was a movie by that name..

Dude, there's nothing like the sound of a 12 string. The fullness of the sound and the low tones are wonderful.
Just got mine a month ago. My fingers hurt!
I was born in 1955. Trust me when I say that as you dive deeper and deeper into 50's, 60's, and 70's music, you will find a virtual cornucopia of multi-talented singers and musicians from every genre of musical entertainment imaginable, every cultural, national, socio-economic, racial, etc. background in the world.

You are so right!! Thanks for putting my feelings into such beautiful words
This is the beginning of a relationship and their song the carnival is over is the end. Like alpha and omega. Rip Judith
One of the greatest female voices in music...ever.
Her voice will live in our hearts forever. RIP - Judith Durham
Amazing vocals especially from Judith. Her voice was so beautiful with very clear diction. I'm so glad you are doing all of these oldies , some of which I haven't heard for years. Great weekend marathon Chad. Looking forward to the Beegees next weekend. X
Judith now sings with the choir of angels.
We are so blessed to have heard her voice.
One of my all time favorites. So sweet and lovely.
I shall never forget this beautiful song by The Seekers. I was born in 1960 but often heard this beautiful song. Just love it. 💝💝

Hi, Susie Q! Do you know my favourite Seekers song, All Over The World? Give it a wee listen if you are not familiar with it.
@@festidious2644 - Shall do. They did so many terrific songs.
Didn't Robin sing Massachusetts??
@@marygriffiths2950 - Yes he did sing lead. Robin is also mainly credited with writing it. Barry said he came to him with the song and sang it and he loved it, then they finished it together in their NY hotel.
@@susieq9801 I used to set up their tour dates back in the day.
Now you've taken me back to the good old days! I loved The Seekers then, Judith had the voice of an angel.
Can’t help but think that if today’s kids had yesterday’s music things might be better… This brings back some warm memories. Thank you, Chad!
OK, this song was a HUGE number 1 for them. Take a second to appreciate the enormity of what they did. They knocked The Fab Four off number 1 in Britain, at the height of Beatlemania! They had a string of huge international hits, and a couple of number1's.

Too right, they don't make music like this anymore - I wish I had a time machine! Cheers from Australia☀🦘
Darn! I love that deerstalker! Judith's voice was clear as a bell. When I was young, like 2nd or 3rd grade, my neighbors were big fans of folk music, like the Seekers and Peter Paul and Mary. I remember this song and grew to love the genre.
Judith's voice just can't be beat. Like Nat King Cole and Don McLean, she sings like it's no effort at all. Her range is superb.
I'm 70 years old. We had the best music. I love seeing young people discovering how great it was.
So glad you finally reacted to a song by "The Seekers". I asked for it many months ago. Judith Durham had an amazing voice!! There are so many more songs of them that are worth a reaction. I especially like " When the Carnival is over". And as I already mentioned earlier - THIS IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC.
Great oldie!!! Just beautiful vocals and instrumentals!!
We'll never find another you, Judith. RIP.
Have a look at the Seekers farewell concert performance of I am Australian
Another vote for this one.
Judith's voice is stunning - of the ilk of a Karen Carpenter. Effortless, pitch perfect, warm. She was classically trained. The Seekers were HUGE in Australia but also were very successful on the international stage. Their harmonies, Judith's vocals and their beautiful instrumentation were their trade mark. RIP to our Judith.
Karens voice lacked range, power, warmth, and even at times of pitch, sorry, she's nowhere near Judith.
Recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios London where the Beatles and many others recorded.
judith - cute as a button with a voice from up above. rip sweet lady
RIP Judith Durham! I love her voice.
If you like vulnerable, listen to Tolerate it by Taylor Swift or the whole Folklore album and Evermore album are sad really vulnerable with every emotion that are heartbreaking, amazing lyrics throughout.

Judith was amazing. Strong voice with the guys. She held her own.
As the old saying goes, “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.”
And there’s only one Judith Durham…beautiful voice, beautiful spirit.
Oh yes what a beautiful human she was
Grew up in the 60's some of the best bands, singers and music that will live forever. Each track The Seekers performed was stunning. Check out We are Australian

Judith was about 19 there and was 78 when she died and they were still performing in there 70s
Perfect perfect song to ending the weekend. Love this song. Please keep reintroducing these songs almost forgotten.
Public funeral was given to Judith Durham in melbourne her home town Clear voice and diction yet she suffered lung problems from an early times
Thank You Tom Springfield
Still such a beautiful song! Thanks. Georgie Girl was a great song, too...
I remember the first time I heard this song in the early ‘60’s I loved it then and still do.❤those were the days of beauty and innocence, miss them so much.
This was mum’s favourite song. She would often have 2CH on the wireless and whenever this song came on everything would stop.
I'm from the 60s..love this song!
Judith Durham, one of the great female voices in history. By the way.
Please react to The Seekers number 1 song they were famous for "Georgy Girl"! Also "Morningtown Ride," "A World of Our Own," "The Carnival Is Over," "When Will the Good Apples Fall," "Danny Boy," "Love Is Kind," "Colors of My Life," and so many others!!
God, I've always loved this song!
YEP .. Much better than most of today's pure crap !!
Because of personal tragedy..this made me cry..thanks for the great memories

Hi, Doc! Were these hints for future reactions? If so, list your favorite titles from these artists here, or shoot me an email. 😊
@hereonthe3L you want a huge hint, go listen to Judith singing Sister Kate with Judith Durham and the Hottest Band in Town. Her hubby Ron on piano. She just belts out that Jazz classic!
Wonderful song! One of my favorites. Thank you Chad!
a true gift for all of us
Judith's voice Is increíble!!! precious melody🌹
Judith Durham was a phenomenal singer. You can find her version of Danny Boy on youtube - just sublime!
Best female version of Danny Boy I've ever heard in all my years!
60s music was the best!! I'm a 60s girl!
Well Chad,. This is such a pretty song. So nice & calm 🎶🎶🎶. I remember it from the 60,s. Great pick 🥰 sweetie
Now i hear this song my mind says "this song is familair"😉 Most of the time i don't know and did't know the name of a band or slinger.
It's a really sweet oldie.
Thanks Chad 💝
We loved this group and this lovely song xx
I remember mom and dad buying this on a 7 inch vinyl single.. 64 I think it was.. They will still have it. Or rather mom will.. dad passed away 2017 aged 90... as they never got rid of any records.. This got played to death on our old dansette mono record player
Judith Durham has always been my favourite female singer. Joyous.
I didn't know she had passed until you said. Blessings to her. Thank you for your posts.respectful and fun.
Ps her rendition of Danny Boy is beautiful.
(Wayne's wife:) I was in a band not long ago and we used to cover this song. We'd get a nice response from the audience because most bands don't do songs like this. My beautiful friend Amanda sang lead on it and always dedicated it to her husband.
If you liked this song by Seekers, try Georgy Girl back home concert Australia 1967.
Normally Judith would play tambourine however they were in the Abbey Rd studios recording and I'm guessing moving around too much would interfere with the recording devices of the 60s.
Try The Carnival Is Over!
Your face said “This is delicious” Thanks for sharing 😘

Hi Paul I also live in Wolverhampton and being born in the 1950's remember this great music the first time around.
But there is plenty of wonderful music around today eg listen to "America " by London Grammar , "Oblivions " by the National or "a long time ago" by First Aid Kit .

Loved Dusty all to bits and she died too young as did so many from that era. Powerful voice.
if you want to hear perfection, play judith durham sings "danny boy"
A favorite of mine..in my prime
My favorite song, esp with Judith Durham's voice. One song that might reach up to the emotions of this song is "Every River" but not the Brooks and Dunn version, but the one from the original composer, Kim Richey on her first album. The band is the A Team of Nashville studio artists and the aforementioned song's lyrics are akin to that of the "I never find another you."
Every River
chorus
When the day comes that I don't love you
Every star will fall out of the sky
And every mountain will tumble down
And every river run dry
[Verse 2]
Every drop of rain
That ever touched the ground
For every tear that ever fell
And never made a sound
I'll be there
To hear you call
And I'll be there to catch you baby
Should you ever fall
Such a great song ❤
When I was a kid I used to fancy her
Check out Georgy Girl. Another Seeker hit
I love the Seekers, Chad! Thanks for this reaction. I think you would really really enjoy this later-in-their-career performance of I Am Australian (not an anthem but should be). Love the words, love everything about it: th-cam.com/video/KrLTe1_9zso/w-d-xo.html
