My youth is coming back!

@john oneill she was one in a million.....

@@annaecombsbeckerich2924 she was indeed a master of her craft...

Wow, that sucks. I didn't know. They made appearances till a few years ago and she looked as dynamic as ever. The Seekers provided many of my favorite childhood tunes.

The seekers were the very best judiths voice so beautiful

She was one of a kind. When God formed Judith before the Ages began, he said, "I know there'll never be another you".

..before the Savages invaded.

She has a voice that rang like a bell. I can only think of a few others whose voices have that quality...Geddy Lee, Jon Anderson. It's a unique quality.

The voice is perfection.

@@AbsentWithoutLeaving Geddy Lee?? Seriously???

Judith Durham en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judith_Durham

@@TurboMountTV Geddy Lee is awesome

My thoughts exactly.

@@deanschneck723 Aussies will always be Outback to us that live in Europe, but save the British. That said, i recognize that the Seekers truly made incredibly nice music.

It's an absolute timeless classic. I think it speaks volumes that my kids (19 and 22) still listen to and love this song. They grew up listening to it, just as I did as a child.

@@deanschneck723 nope nope ,can’t even sing in tune,song good and lyrics,but singers ,nope

🥱

It's wonderful that you made it home after being drafted, and it's wonderful that you had the half century of life together...That's a life well lived my friend! It's wonderful to have something to flood back all those memories...Music is our most powerful connection... Good Health and peace to you and yours.

Keep on going and keep her memory alive, God loves you Sir

Beautiful tribute to your wife my friend

First, I wish you peace and consolation. Almost my story. My wife (Sandra) and I grew up about a1/2 mi. apart. We knew of each other but we went to different schools. Because of mutual friends we started hanging around. She was 15 and I was 16. In Feb. '68 I went in the A. F. and she waited for me. A year into my enlistment we got married. Feb '69. 5 kids, 3 mortgages, and 2 careers later we are retired and still together. God bless you Joe.

..Awww.., Sincerely Sorry for your loss, Joe..⚘

Yes sir, and never will be EVER!

Red Shed 66077. Ha ha another subscriber eh. It's just a shame I don't really have any content. Maybe I will have to start a playlist with some of my favourite singers. By the way I get the 'Red' reference now I know you're from Manchester. I'm from a currently blooming cold South London myself. I guess I'm now going to lose any street cred' I may have had by announcing that I'm a Millwall supporter. But I guess there are worse things in life to be.........I'm just not sure what! 😀

Thanks for your reply, lets keep hearing plenty more of the Seekers to helpcuz through these difficult times, regards Nick. Oh just realised Steven, the Redshed is a term used for the class 66diesel freight locomotive, they are known as shed because of the shape of there roofs!

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Interesting ... I had it played at my husband's funeral December 9th -

@@JulieHollar Sorry for your loss, Julie!

Amen !! Godspeed Judith

Amen.

You mean Judith? She was never a "Judy" !

Nice? wash ya ears out! Agree about the whole though.

Asbury Stan the Eighth Judith made them what they were nevertheless and they knew it too

For sure! It's an entire group effort.

How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song

Yesss!!!!👍 so simple then....

I'm going to guess the Vietnamese didn't think this period was simple

Tell it to the Marines!

Agree.

The harmonies are unbelievable

Can never listen to this beautiful song without tearing up. Perfection on all levels.

If there is perfection in music this is it

You are right..... They just exhibited talent and no virtue signaling b*******

@@anderander5662 I'm just discovering these guys beyond Georgie Girl...been listening since 67, born 62...never knew they had other cool stuff

We could use it especially now - 2019!!

Agreed

@@anderander5662 I still remember going down to the local music store and buying this song on a 45 rpm record. Seems like yesterday. Those were the good times.

I’m sure they must’ve had crotch grabbing in 1967

@@brendancarroll9376 Didn't need it proper music

Yes, no electronically enhanced voices either!

LMAO 🤣

Complain much?!

Sorry.❤🇦🇺

I also recently lost my mom and daughter ironically three years apart but on the same date APRIL 12 , 2021 and 2024….❤❤❤❤

Albert, anyone named after the Mother of Jesus will certainly be raised again on the Last Day. All Aryan women will be in the Kingdom of God.

Yes, back then you had to really have talent to be famous. Judith you shine!!

Modesty is beautiful

Totally agree.

..and every girl dreams of being..

Of course they can. Even better, except for the invisible percussion player, I must say. 😀 Don‘t forget, music is not a competition.

the reason why it sounds so good, you have real musical instruments, with real musicians making it all come to "LIFE"!!!. it was all done without computers, or drum machines!!!!. good tunes never get old, I was7 years old when this tune hit the air waves, and I still like to hear it, I have yet to get tired of it. this tune has stood the test of time!!!!. I will say one thing, JUDY DURHAM" has really got a set of "PIPES" on her, she really made that tune come to life!!!!

@@gregoryclemen1870 yes she has some kind of wonderful magic that is not only timeless but is also spiked with perfection

God bless you. Two become one.

Yes indeed! Australia has produced three of my favorite things in life; Foster's Lager, AC/DC and Judith Durham and the Seekers!

Long live the Seeker Judith Best natural voice ever. Love you. XX

Just imagine all the other good stuff out there waiting for you...

Saw them live back in 2013. She had just gotten over her brain aneurism. She sounded as good as ever. No vocal gymnastics, just pure singing.

That is so awesome.

So well said...

the kardashians are a joke thay are plastic and judith is the real thing with her beautiful talented voice

Cindy.... You said it...✔✔✔✔✔PERFECTLY! 🎵🎶😃💕💜😌💙

Cindy Stuart has

Just look at the times and you can see why they're popular. Pathetic.

What I dreamed

Crap sound obviously, but you must be referring to an original mix (hopefully stereo). Do you have a reference to that? I am a big Seekers / Judith fan.

Stuart Garfatth ...and even now, May 10, 2020

Spot on there John.

Been terribly in Love with a "petite little lady" (omg i'm sorry she didn't want to be called a lady), like Judith Durham, she even looked like her a lot. The smaller the more astonishing i suppose.

It's helpful to remember that Judith was an established trad jazz singer before joining up with The Seekers. Working with skilled jazz musicians she would have picked up tips on phrazing and projection that would help give her vocals that unique flavour that catches the ear in her work with The Seekers. The blending of a jazz singer into a folk group almost seems counterintuitive, but it certainly worked some big magic here. jtk

@@johnking6550 Well, that I guess is a more professional answer to it. Maybe interesting to know too. But i tend to fall in Love with her anyway... i mean, i don't right now, but with the early Judith as ive seen her i would relate to a song by a certain sir Cliff RIchard called... "I could easily..."

We always think that great performance is a new fresh one, but singing or acting, it mostly is from someone whom did work long and hard...except Judith probably sang daily while walking home from school, and it still came naturally...heh heh!

+Pax Tecum The 1960's.

+Pax Tecum The OLD days. lol

The seekers sang quite many songs which had social/political meanings, but they were not agitators - in fact, they were quite reserved on that , compared with other fellows of this time. They also kept their private lifes their own business most of the time

Boy, no kidding! What a beautiful song...

The Seekers recorded Blowin in the Wind, The Times They are a Changin, Kumbaya, What Have they Done to the Rain, This land is your Land and a number of other folk standards. Good songs that they sang very well. The drew their inspiration from the blacklisted left-wing American folk group The Weavers. Judith wrote moving tributes to Mary Travers and Ronnie Gilbert when they died. The Seekers were not as non-political as many think.

I agree 100%. I saw her and the Seekers on a video with Andre Rieu at one of his concerts around 2010 and she is just as perfect now as she ever was.

Yes! And to think she thought of herself as not being attractive! Listen to her interviews and you will be astounded by the self doubt she was going through at the time. For some reason, they turned down the opportunity to perform Georgie Girl at the 39th Annual Academy Awards on April 10, 1967 when all of Hollywood and over 22 million television viewers would have seen Judith Durham for the first time and literally fallen in love with her. This was a missed opportunity of the highest magnitude and could have launched their stalling career into a much higher orbit of activity with performance offers and songwriters composing songs expressly for them to sing like Paul Simon already had done the year before with his classic tune "Someday One Day" they successfully recorded. The Bee Gees had just come to the U.S. and upon arrival wrote the song Massachusetts expressly for The Seekers, but somehow couldn't get in touch with them to submit it for their evaluation. The Bee Gees decided to record the song themselves in 1967 and it was a huge hit. Had The Seekers recorded Massachusetts in 1967, they would have made a profound and permanent connection with the U.S. audience and market. As it stands now, Americans remember the song Georgie Girl resoundingly, but they never had the chance to become enamored with or familiar with the members of the goup themselves.

This song reached the top of the charts in England, the U.S., and Australia well before 67. This is a documentary reenactment of that time. The Seekers' manager Eddie Jarrett "...was very UK-centric..." according to Keith Potger and in retrospect, The Seekers should have been touring the U.S. much earlier than they ended up doing in 1967.

When I first watched this on KZfaq in 2010, I was so taken by the beauty of the song and the closeup of Judith that I was beside myself with questions of why I hadn't known that much about this wonderful group above and beyond Georgy Girl. No other voice like hers!!! This song was done to perfection by The Seekers and no other group has dared to attempt doing a version of it. Judith had to wait until November of 1969 to experience the joy of a relationship she had only been singing about since childhood. This song was first released in December 1964 and I remember hearing it on my parents' car radio back then when I was barely 11. But I didn't know for all these years it was the same voice of the girl who sang Georgy Girl who also sang this song. The same thing holds true for A World Of Our Own. I have no memory of ever hearing Someday One Day back in the 60's, but now I listen to it all the time. I love all kinds of QUALITY music and pride myself in the variety of artists I like, but I have scolded myself a number of times for not having found out more of this fine group sooner. I encourage eveyone to explore the music and music videos available on KZfaq involving The Seekers. Definitely a rewarding process!

softclay4thought I am only two years older than you and I have the memory of visiting my Aunties sheep station and listening to this on my new transistor radio. It's a pity you missed so much of the rest of their music back then as it seems to have a greater effect on me as a memory of that period in my life. Their music has that effect, it is odd though that you didn't connect the other song's with this as the sound of them is so unique.

you mean "popular music."

World music ,or easier to say just Music c;

Like a Mounds bar, can never get enough.

bernie cahane The Seekers are regarded as a national treasure to us Australian boomers.

I couldn't agree more.

its great to find someone else who listened to WLS in 1964 -65 i too was 16 in 64 lived in Braidwood illinois , Wilmington, and Coalcity, Joliet.

Yes I agree plus, she thought she was getting too 'big' to be on TV because apparently TV makes you look bigger than you actually are. A proud Australia this girl of ours and she was treasured.
