This was a special thing between my daughter and me when she was barely out of diapers. She would stand on my feet and I would dance around the room. It remains a special 'thing' for the two of us even now when she is a proud grandma herself. Judith's heavenly voice brings tears to my eyes, then and now, and will until the day I die.
Sadly, Judith Durham passed away from COPD on August 5, 2022, in Melbourne. Her wonderful performance of this song was the first time I ever heard of The Seekers. Thank you for those wonderful memories Judith!
Without a doubt Judith Durham has the finest female voice that Australia has ever produced! In all the years of their performing, it has never lost the ability to make you sit back and simply appreciate that magical sound!
And many years after retirement - it was still unable and perfect.
This makes me a little tearful hearing this again now. Grew up poor and when I was about 8 years old in the 1970's, my mother gave me an old record player she had for years as a birthday present, and this was the single that I got from her to play on it as a second present that year. It was the first thing I actually owned, and I played it to death. I loved it dearly.
you lucky lucky person
the same story for most of us my friend
We didn’t have much this worlds pelf but we had love.
I play this song every day after my cousin passed away by Covid. The song was his favorite
Somehow, when I simply hear Judith's voice, the tears come to my eyes. She was magic.
I was sitting here thinking the exact same thing. Even more so knowing she's no longer with us.
Now old and two years after losing the love of my life, stumbling upon this Golden Anniversary gift from The Seekers brought back some of the sweetest moments of my youth. They're still tops in my book.
I can't think of anything on planet earth more perfect than The Seekers.
You've a bit to go yet. They are out of this world!
The carnival is truly over. Fly high, Judith Durham - gone to sing in the heavenly choir
Just pure Angelic voice after all the years . Best female singer ever .
One of my favorite singing groups. Pure talent at it's best.🇺🇸🐢🐄🚒🚑
This group still sounds so FANTASTIC - Her voice makes me get misty eyed with all her songs - her voice is so AWESOME!!!
My favorit group ever since the 60s, with Judith Durhams breathtaking voice.
My broken heart is now healed by this song. Judith has passed us by, but we will never forget her.
Christmas morning 1968.i was 8 years old and this was on the radio. No Christmas is complete until i listen to this. Such a great memory of being surrounded by family who many of passed away now.
Like you I was born in the early 60s . Yes the Seekers were always played when I was young and these songs were magical. Dad had all their 45s and loved them. So very sad that we have just lost this lovely talented lady. My dad would be so upset if he were still here. What happy times she gave us in our childhood and since , and that voice in her 70s? Tremendous. God bless her.
Every time I listen to The Seekers, and this song especially, it transports me back to my childhood when it was a much more happy time where sincerity and love and friendship ruled. The Seekers make me know that you can still live those moments by simply just absorbing their melodic perfect blends and enjoying Judith's perfect pitch, even at this later stage of her life. There is no group ever that can boast all their members still playing together for 50 plus years. Long live The Seekers.
LUCKY ME AT 81 TO FIND THIS GEM...40 YEARS AFTER & JUST AS BRILLIANT!!!
Fabulous. - Judith's golden voice as good as ever.
The most beautiful voice in the world.
Good heavens, they sound the same as they did in 1964. Amazing, magical, moving....
RIP Judith...singing with the angels now.
music and songs back in the 60's and 70's bring many tears even to this day. So many talented musicians, not like crap today
I know this is quite al ong time ago now, but take a minute to appreciate just how unique and special Judith is. An astoundingly beautiful woman physically, but with not an ounce of narcissism about her. THAT voice, incredible, not another like it. But even more, she is always happy, has a smile that lights up the world, an inner joy that is so infectious, it radiates from her, through her voice. How much courage has she got, to leave the group at its height, resisting the filthy lucre, to be true to herself, to have such a strong marriage, to go through Ron's illness, to make the decision not to have kids so as not to pass the gene on, despite wanting kids, that is a woman of TRUE courage!
Just an amazing person, she brings such joy to all. THANK YOU JUDITH, for all the joy, and for lifes inspiration. You have my deepest gratitude and love!
Judith and I are the same age.....and I love her singing. What a very lovely woman.
RIP Judith Durham. You are a true treasure.
Can't help but cry when I listen to it, goodness knows what I'd be like singing it!
For many years I always wondered who sang this song. It was always in my mind because I heard it when I was a wee boy and as I grew up I found out who sang this childhood song.And I still love it and I am 56. Oh how I would love to have seen The Seekers live,not you conventional concert,no fancy laser show,no pyrotechnics or fancy costumes just good wholesome family entertainment and beautiful voices.
I’m four years older than you and my late mother sang it to me when I was little brings back precious memories.
Was at their final concert in melbourne a couple of days before JD became ill.Will never forget it or her,they & her were definitely an act to remember,RIP.
I've always loved this song and sang it to both of my kids. Judith's voice is beautiful and distinctive, I've not heard another voice quite like hers. Love this, thanks for posting it! ♥
This has become so special now. The finest purest female voice ever in my opinion.just wonderful. Rip judith durham. 😢💔
So hard not having Judith here anymore!
Missing her already!
Have liked the Seekers a lot for 50 years but had never heard Morningtown Ride until recently. Now I can't get it out of my head and play it over and over. It is amazing how great they still sound after all these years. Judith is amazing considering what she has been through.
Here is the original from 1966 every Aussie kid knew this song its onboard Puffing Billy South East of Melbourne its still going even though it was involved in an accident with a bus today .th-cam.com/video/L1UXSdFlVOs/w-d-xo.html
@@emohruo7996 Hi Emoh ' I luv this track brings back luvly family memories from the 60s n a Fab time to grow up. Also like Another You in particular..Happy New Year to you and kind regards Glynn, n Greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
As a 10 year old, this was my favorite song. 60 years later it is still is my song of joy.
She is gone, but she will never be forgotten. I thank that the Author, Malvina Reynolds. Evey primary school child knew this song by heart when I was just a boy.
Malvina Reynolds’s??? Never knew this but I am not surprised.
Thank you for everything dear Judith Durham may you Rest In Peace and we’ll for sure never find another you, may the seekers music live forever and ever!
Now this ladies & gentleman is 100% proof of how living a clean life keeps you in good shape, just look at these 4 on stage, they are in an INCREDIBLE! state of preservation, they look fantastic and sound the same as they did 50 years ago
ninjabluewings Aren't they all incredible and isn't Judith just so amazing💜
@@purplefee9210 Hi ,U r right on both counts. I luv this track too and reminds me of the Fab time to be young and luvly memories of my parents. Kind regards Glynn and greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands 🤝🐱

her voice after all these years is unbelievable
Why is it that I find great music so very emotional? May we thank the Good Lord that we still have these recordings!!!
What a voice this lady has 😌
True talent a pleasure to listen, thanks for sharing.
🏴❤🦜🤗🌹💖🏴
Wow!!! Goose bumps on my neck, misty eyes, great form indeed. Images of the steam locomotive topped it off. Thank you for the joy you have shared.
Thank you. What a voice and a lovely lady.
I had no idea they did this song until today, because the wiggles covered this song and they were my childhood. This is absolutely beautiful! Got nostalgic chills from this
Similar experience here. First time I heard it was as a young child, when I heard the Irish Rovers' version in the early 1970s. It was a few years later that I heard the original Seekers recording (my dad had one) and found out they had made it famous long before the Irish Rovers recorded it. Still love hearing the Seekers' original version of it - no one can sing it like Judith did!
Beautiful harmony God's blessing
Love it when Judith sings high pitch at the end, what a voice...
Judith is the best
Fantastic song. I love it from my childhood. Thank you my friends
I would have triple mortgaged my house, sold my car and bought a goat cart, and made my dog go to work washing windows with her tongue, just to have been able to see this concert. Since the bank, the goat, and the dog all refused to cooperate, I'm especially grateful to you for posting this lovely song. (I'm pretty sure the dog is grateful, too)
Deborah Riley such a great comment..............understand completely.........
Pity you couldn't bank on the goat or the dog !
me too!
underwaterbubbles Sorry this reply is late, but I had to tell you that I laughed so hard at your comment! Makes me wish I'd thought of it first! 😆
Deborah Riley....He he he ! I chuckled at your comment too.
I love the Seekers...great talent
Always my favorite of all their songs. I would play this at night to fall asleep by. Love them.
If this is not a classic; I don't know what is!!!!
I am a lifetime David Bowie fan and was devastated at hearing of his death. On the opposite end of my musical fandom spectrum are The Seekers, my favourite group from the 60s. Hearing about Judith's recent death was equally upsetting.
There is something so beautiful and innocent about the group's song back catalogue, proving that you didn't need to be controversial to be globally successful. Listening to them now sends me back to a far simpler time. Such is the power of music.
My grandfather used to play The Carnival Is Over endlessly to us when we visited as kids. That and this song remain deeply personal and meaningful as perfect encapsulations of a happy childhood.
When life was simple and pure. Never to return.
so sad this .....tonight. Judith was the soundtrack of my youth. May she rest in peace.
The were truly Australia's greatest contribution to popular music.
The same voices n te same feeling I got 50 yrs ago... love
What great singers.what great music.sadly nearly all forgotten.....more needed to be played on local radio station...
Truly beautiful. Real talent never gets old.
Hi i will always come back to hear Judith sing. A cure for bad days. Terrific! I have my covid jab coming up in a week. Bless everyone with a future to look forward to. "Things can only get better"
I absolutely love this song.
My favourite seekers song when I was 8 years old.still my fav
This has to be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
1st time i heard this was as a kid in the 70s, Born 23rd May 1968, from northern Ireland UK, ♥️ am a old guy now , almost 54 year old,!
This song has a very very special place in my heart, my Grandad used to sing this to me when I was very young, he used to work on the railways so guess that’s why he loved it, lost him 13 yrs ago and lost my Grandma his wife 3 weeks ago so made me cry listening to this. Awesome video! Love it! Thanks
RIP Judith Durham. What a voice...
Well, that's just beautiful. Thank you!
The Seekers amazing sound always makes you feel better!
Timeless, listening to the Seekers makes you feel young again.
I saw this great group of people at the Empire in Toowoomba Qld. on there 25th anniversary tour. They always are and will be the greatest.
The best group of all time .very outstanding performance brilliant group lovely music grate sounds every song is fantastic judith Durham has a lovely voice .God bless her .she has a gift .very outstanding performance by the group brilliant xxx ⚘🌹💐🌿🌿
How can 18 people not like this?????
Even after all these year, they STILL sound this good, raw talent 😀 fantastic sound with no computer trickery unlike many if the so called "star" today
Yes, this song is very unique and quite special in a wonderful way. Beautifully written by Malvina Reynolds as a child's bedtime lullaby, it goes much deeper and penetrates to the child in each of us. The comfy lap, caring eyes and loving arms of mommy and daddy's unconditional love. Child or adult...we are all in a life long search for that safe place. jtk🍁Canada
This song always brings a tear to my eye as my mum used to sing it to us when putting us to bed. Still sounding brilliant and full of sentiment.
Thanks for sharing. Still a fantastic song and sounds like it did 50 years ago. wow. 👍
I was fortunate enough to see them in the Nottingham leg of the Golden Jubliee tour and Judith's voice was as good as it was 50 years ago...not ashamed to say i came away that night with a sore throat and tears in my eyes!....and i can't believe somebody has disliked this!!
Me too!
rich963 Probably people who get motion sickness on train rides.
Ian-Darren Bradford just some people have bugger all better to do. It’s a wonderful song, my grandad used to sing this to me when I was very young.
Hi Ian...I have recently produced a new UK Seekers Theatre tribute show..Please tell me honestly what you think of this..th-cam.com/video/pMgAviGEvQU/w-d-xo.html
@@realdiamondshow A great tribute to a great band!....well done!
Let's get a million views for this special lady
As a new convert to The Seekers, this just bows me away, true talent!! Judith's voice is awsome :-)
Beautiful song and wonderfully sung. No praise would be too high for the way it has been sung.
Judith: class, talent, beauty.
Takes me right back to being an infant on my Mother's knee. What a glorious voice Judith has, even to this day.
Its amazing what music can do cry every time i hear this song my late mother use to sing it in the when i was a kid im now 60 judith durham what a voice
great music & memories of life, still sounds great
Judith I love you. An angel on earth. What a voice, and she is so beautiful. What a fox in her youth.
Indeed an angel.
With tears in my eyes. This takes me back to the most amazing times with my late Nan. Ed Stewart ( stewpot) on the radio playing this ana Nan and I having breakfast together of toast and jam, it never tasted so good.
Missing you Nan ❤️
I love the Seekers ❤️
my god she could sing.
Awesome voice
Memories of my dear mum her fave group ,brilliant
Tremendous Group
Woke up singing this this morning! Had to look it up. Beautiful, especially this version!

What a career that the Seekers had.
I do believe this is the first song I ever learned and understood in my life.
Absolutely love this song!!!!
... *** GREAT PERFORMANCE *** ... ! ...
60 years of wow
We were lucky enough to see them in concert in Cardiff
Fabulous video. This song brings back so many memories, l wish l could turn the clock back. These gentlefolk still going 50 years on, stunning. Also considering what Judith has gone through, she still has that voice that is instantly recognised.
Thank you for posting this video.
You're a star. ⭐🇬🇧
Superb synchronicity on the back screen video.
Hearty congrats to the video editor.
