    No gimmicks, no swearing, no raunchyness, no undressing. Just honest singing and musicianship. This group did not need gimmicks. Their voices, harmonies and muscianship said all you ever needed to know about them. In two words, A CLASS ACT

      Definitely! They could really sing (instead of whining like a lot of modern 'stars' do). As you say, the harmonies are very good and they could play their instruments and sing nicely without having their voices digitally enhanced by a computer!

    We have heard great female pop singers with powerful and beautiful voices, such as Linda Ronstadt, Agnetha Faltskog (Abba), Karen Carpenter, Ann Wilson (Heart), Carole King, Olivia Newton-John, and others. But no one seems to be able to do what Judith Durham was able to do with her vocal power, pitch, purity, poise, resonance, range, emotion, grace, simplicity, effortless delivery, transcendent, heavenly sublime tonal quality, and overall luminous stage presence. Judith left her listeners awestruck with every performance. The angelic wings of her voice allowed the audience to soar with her to the deepest blue of heaven's skies. Truly missed, inimitable, and irreplaceable.

    Her whole life was a struggle to maintain that beautiful voice. Asthma and a terrible bronchial disease plagued her. She meditated , maintained a strict diet, exercised and followed a regiment that most of us would find very tedious. A dedicated, gifted artist who faithfully cared for her instrument. That voice isnt effortless. It preserved with blood, sweat and tears.
    Incredible artist. ❤️
