Im a 61 (well, for the next few weeks anyway!!) Year old Australian. I was too young to appreciate this song when i was a kid, and with music changing over the years, i never really paid much attention to The Seekers. But since Covid hit, I have started watching a few reaction channels, and some have played The Seekers, and I am now in awe of just how great they were. Great song writers, and Judith's voice, so strong and amazing. They have a song called I Am Australian which is about things that are Australian, and the paths of different people to becoming Australian. For me, it can even bring a tear. I hope you hit that one day. Peace out.

You must have lived under a rock in Australia. I am 66 and I recall the song played frequently on US radio. I do remember "The Seekers" on tv shows of that era here in the US. It's ironic you needed covid to discover a famous band from your country when I knew about them for decades living in the USA and we are close in age. The movie the song was taken from was "George Girl" and it was huge at the time. Again, the movie brought even more attention to the song. I have no idea how you could not known of this song.

She held her voice all the way into her 70’s . There’s a 2013 farewell tour video on KZfaq. Her voice is still fantastic. The 4 of them vocally are superb. One of the guitarists wrote a song called “we are Australian.” It covers the native Australians, and the English prisoners who were sent there as punishment and all in between. Why is hasn’t been made their national anthem is beyond me. Definitely worth listening to.

It's not exactly about women empowerment, but she is the heroine of her own story and creates her own happy ending!!

The folk era had just started to slowly decline when "Georgy Girl" appeared on the scene. Both the song and the movie it had been from was massively popular. You could not turn on the tv or walked by a movie theater without seeing or hearing the song. It is a record that is beautiful. The folk era was powerful in the tunes that came from it and "Georgy Girl" was a stellar representation of that musical era.

The Seekers sound too came from their deeply spiritual and religious beliefs . Judith RIP passed away from broncial illness that she had suffered all her life.....The SEEKERS from Australia were flown to England in 1964 in the middle of Beatle Mania they became overnight superstars with huge record sales in the U.S and UK and Worldwide ....50 million records ...a band that performed catchy angelic harmonies

The Seekers were the peak of humanity! They were the one group that won the record for the longest lasting original lineup of all time until Judith’s passing last year, a week before Olivia Newton John, also from Australia. The song was from a British film about an overweight woman (Lynn Redgrave) who had a poor self image. Ironically the star actress had her own self-image issues but became a spokesperson for Weightwatchers in the 1980’s.

"The Water is Wide" is fabulous and of course "Kumbaya" (brilliant finger-picked guitar and Judith's voice is breathtaking). As the young child I was in the mid 70's listening to these tracks (with my grandparents), obviously I loved "Puff the Magic Dragon" (much more than the Peter, Paul and Mary version) and "Morningtown Ride" as well. I know it's from a progressive rock band but "Northern Lights" by Renaissance made quite an impression on me in the 70's as well (yes I KNOW it's actually about Blackpool(!) but it fired up my imagination). Somebody did a fabulous mashup of Lyra from the Golden Compass/Northern Lights film and the song ... alas it's gone now.

George Young is a brother of Angus and Malcome Young and produced the early AC/CD Albums. Young, along with fellow Easybeats founder Harry Vanda became one of the innovators of the Australian music scene from the late 60s on.

When I was growing up in the late 70’s and early 80's, Mattel used the melody of this song in all their Barbie commercials, in some they had new lyrics to fit the Barbie toy they were selling "Here comes Barbie fun!" instead of "Hey there Georgy Girl" and so on. The first time I saw the movie Georgy Girl I was like "Wait...that's the Barbie song!" This will always be the actual "Barbie Song" to me, even with the Aqua song.

"Sunshine Pop" from the mid-60s. STRONGLY influenced by the Beatles, Beach Boys and Everly Brothers. Pioneered by Peter Paul and Mary. Appeared in 1964-65 and was pretty much gone by 1970.

If you want to see how great they still were when they were older. I would like to recommend their song a lot of Aussies want as their new national athem We Are Australian. More and more KZfaqrs are discovering this song, usually they react to the version from their farewell concert. You don't have to live in Australia to appreciate the song. I've even seen reactors moved to tears by it. Judith was definitely an amazing performer. Especially since she developed a lung condition long before The Seekers. Unfortunately it claimed her life in the end

I don’t think I’ve heard We Are Australian, though I will definitely check it out…but as a Scot who has an unofficial (purely because for some reason none of the UK countries are allowed their own) National Anthem in Flower of Scotland which is also from a 60’s folk group (well…duo) called The Corries I can’t help but think that folk songs made better National Anthems than what we are generally force fed. 😊

There's just something so delicious, charming and clever in the line "...a little bit" Go on, spread your wings.... but maybe not too much. Perfectly encapsulates the dilemmas of the Georgy in the movie. Judith's voice is like crystal. Perfectly clear and pure.

To give you guys an idea of just how huge the seekers were in Australia, this concert was in front of 200,000 people. At the time, Australia's population was only 11.8 million people. That means one in every 60 people that lived in Australia at the time was at that concert. By comparison, Woodstack in '69 had about 500,000 people there and is the most iconic concert in the history of music. It managed to attract one in every 405 people in the US at the time. To have the same pulling power as the Seekers had, it would have needed to draw in nearly 3.4 million people. By any measure, that crowd of 200,000 is insane.

My big sister took me to see this movie when it came out in the 60s. It was the first movie I can remember that had actual bad cuss words in it like "b*tch" and "b*st*rd." In those days there was no rating system, so the new breed of naughty films had a warning in the ads that read "recommended for mature audiences." I always got excited when she took me to one of those.

Great Movie, a Tour de Force by 23-year-old Lynn Redgrave, Redgrave is part of a family of very famous and award-winning Actors and Actresses. Story of a frumpy girl with a heart of gold who finds herself being pursued by her parent's wealthy employer (James Mason) and her beautiful roommate's boyfriend. I saw it at the movies in 1966, I was 10. Lynn is the only actress nominated for an EGOT, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and a Tony without winning any of them.

I heard this a TON when I was a young kid growing up in the US. You have to understand that back in those days, music playlists were not "piped in" to shopping venues. They simply played the radio. AM radio. This song was everywhere because it was frequently on the radio. Laying in the sun on a beach towel? You were listening to AM radio. (Cassette tape decks were relatively new and still an expensive novelty.) Not with ear buds, but to the "tinney" sounding speaker of an affordable portable radio. That is how most people heard this tune. Buying a snow cone from the park vendor on a hot sunny day? The vendor was playing this tune on his cheap AM radio. It evokes childhood memories.

A 'World of Our Own' is just beautiful, and with a good message. Also 'We Are Australian.' Several decades ago, Elton John said "There are three perfect/pure female voices in the world, and two of them are dead." Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter, and Eva Cassady."

Agree - I've often thought the only other singer who had such clarity as Judith was the late great Karen Carpenter. Eva would also qualify.

The song's cheerful music and arrangement are somewhat in contrast to some of the lyrics which depict a sad and lonely protagonist but the lyrics also try to lift her spirits up. It's one of my favorites and a song that everybody seems to love.

Another Australian singer you have to check out is the beautiful 39 year old Delta Goodrem. What a killer voice, and you won't be disappointed! It's a shame that a lot of people never heard of her. Here is a list of her really good songs: 1) Enough 2) Believe Again (Great song! 3) Wish You Were Here (This song is about one of her life long friends Liam O'Flaherty who died in a motorcycle accident in July 2009). 4) Dear Life 5) Wings 6) Only Human 7) Dancing With A Broken Heart. Enjoy!

This was the group's biggest hit and it served as the theme song for a hugely popular 60's English drama of the same name which brought Lynn Redgrave to prominence (and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress that year). The film is very 60's and often dark but a worthwhile watch with excellent performances from the entire cast.
