    I think for many Americans the first Seekers song they heard was "Georgy Girl", thanks to the movie. But for me it was "Red Rubber Ball". I actually heard their version before I heard The Cyrcle's version. So of course I liked it better. And to this day I like it better. RIP Judith Durham.

    This version of the song rings truer than that of the Cyrkle. The Seekers give it that touch of bitterness that the cheerful, bouncy version lacks. There is a profound sense of loss in the song. The Seekers unleash it.

      What is not known is that for nearly 10 maybe 20 years Simmon failed to give Bruce writing credits. I believe it took a few legal letters to amend the record and pay Bruce what he was owed.

    Beautiful, wonderful song that brings back that beautiful, rich, experimentally cross functionally fecund/ fertile period & era ...of the growing global era of folk music.. - plus SEAsia, India, Ceylon, etc etc the entire British colonial world incl the Carribean, SE Asia N America - and even esp far flung British outposts scattered across the planet..Malaya, Singapore, HongKong, plus places like the Philippines with a mixed but rich musical heritage..
    Salud !
    Gracias !

    The Cyrkle opened for the Beatles in Shea Stadium in 1966. This week I've watched everyone do it thru the magic of TH-cam. Great song.

    I’ve listened to list about 20 times in a row, I can’t get enough of it…just beautiful and their harmonies are impeccable. What a pleasure to listen to!!!
    This had a painful connection for me when my husband was about to leave (20 years ago) and now I love it more than ever.
    Ive always loved the groups upbeat and bright music, it’s wonderful to hear positivity in this negative world.
    You all look great, too! ❤

    It not often that there is a song where Judith is not featured. She blends in very well and it is always a joy to see them perform live. Thank you.

      Every good singer knows how to sing harmonies, but I must say that Durham's harmonies in this song are strikingly inventive and effective.

    I knew Paul Simon wrote it, but I was unaware of the co-author. Very nice rendition.

    I needed this song tonight, Rich. I certainly didn't know that Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley wrote this song together. Despite the quite fierce lyrics there's gentleness and trust in life, not just that the sun will keep rising despite....the morning sun Is rising.

    Great play, great find. Keep it up. Lovers of JD and the Seekers never get enough. I loved the history told, and I agree with one of the others comments that even when JD is not featured, there's no group that's better.

    Funny how Bruce's speaking voice is raspy, but he sings the same as he did back in 1967.
