I'd suggest that, like the fact that all the stories have been told hence the terrible films we have now( endless franchises and remakes) I believe that all the tunes have been written hence the appalling stuff that passes for pop music these days. It's easy to blame people like Simon Cowell and I do to a large extent but where is the talent? Songs with beautiful words sung well and clearly and with an identifiable tune seem to have gone on permanent leave of absence. There is little or no likelihood of a group like the Seekers appearing again so we must, however reluctantly, embrace the music of the past if we want to hear great pop music.

Judith has the "famous" voice, but I can't help but notice, yet again, that all 4 of these voices are special in the way they blend. There are plenty of quartets who can sing harmony in tune and sing well. But the tone of these 4 voices creates an amazing sound. Thank you, Judith Durham, but thank you to ALL the Seekers, for soothing, entertaining, comforting, and adding something beautiful to planet Earth.

I think the same thing as I listen. Judith is the pretty one with the lead voice, but it really is a group - I.e. _ensemble_ - of talented individuals. (Regardless, Judith will always be the prettiest.)

Well said! This song really brings out ALL their voices too. Absolutely wonderful to enjoy all these videos. Although I'm very familiar with The Seekers music, I don't think I ever truly appreciated them in their "heyday". Their music seems timeless to me now. Very precious, that's for sure! Such a comforting sound.

The last chance I got to see them live on this tour was their Liverpool performance. What really hit home with me was finally seeing Judith's diminutive physical stature live on stage. Such a delicate, tiny little morsel of humanity, showing the strength and determination to continue on with a farewell tour after all she had been through .... That alone left me spellbound. They were all brilliant, an honour to be in their presence.

What a tremendously beautiful rendition of “ The Water Is Wide “. What an absolutely gorgeous.melody. Weren’t they just wonderful!! Always wonderful!!. My tears are falling, and my ♥️ heart is 😢 aching,with several emotions, watching, and listening to these four amazing human beings, in their old age, performing this miracle, with such integrity, the clarity, and range of voices, and pristine diction, and it all performed, seemingly effortlessly !! All four voices, blending beautifully melodiously, and meticulously, as if just one voice.Incredible!! ❤❤❤❤. How gracious, and sweet, of Judith, to step back, from the solo line, allowing Bruce, to perform such a beautiful, heartfelt rendition, of this lovely song,sung with,tenderness,gentility, and calm. Perfection, at it’s best. And Judith’s angelic,melodic vocals, coming through, like the softest of winds. I am emotionally drained. Bruce, such a talented , lovely man, Keith, and Athol, also. All three gentlemen, were a golden match ,with Judith’s superb, sweet voice. The posting, didn’t give the year, of time of posting, but commentator, mentioned, “it was barely a year,since Judith’s passing, could it be 192022/2023?? .It’s now April 5th, 192024. I Have loved The Seekers,since 60,s, 70,s, but really had to get to old age, to properly, appreciate, and realise, the huge loss, their wonderful music, and voices,meant to the world 🌍, in general. They probably were the greatest group ever,of their time, or indeed, ever, ever,never again, be their likes,never ever, be competitors to match them!!! I sincerely hope, Bruce, Keith, and Athol, are still with us, strumming those tunes and hitting those notes!!. Three wonderful, handsome men R.I.P. Angelic,Beautiful, Judith.❤❤ Thank you for posting such treasure!! Am an 83yr old lady, from Ireland 🇮🇪. Regards, and Admiration. Molly. 🇮🇪.

Steve--I don't see the Seekers as rock-n-roll at all--it's folk music--remember in their '68 TV special, Keith and Athol switched gears and said they used to be rock-n-roll, grabbed electric guitars, and did a Chuck Berry rockin' tune? It may be related, because I see Johnny Cash has something to do with it, and he's country, or was. Bob Dylan while mainly folk does have some rock music crossover and he's in there. www.rockhall.com/about

Let's be honest, she is the nucleus of the group & I am a great fan of the Seekers. I have made many wonderful comments relating to Seekers musical videos, I hope you have seen them.

So this one kinda tore a hole in my chest... Especially the footage of a younger Judith waving... It's getting closer to a year since her passing, and I'm still not used to the idea that, for the first time in my life, there'll never again be a new (at least to me) Seekers song to discover... RIP Judith Durham: You were an Australian National Treasure.

I saw them at their height when they did pantomime in Stockton-on-Tees. Pantomime was sometimes the only way we would get to see the current artists on stage. They did have to do silly parts but they got to do a proper set at the mid point. The music is timeless and the harmony true.

I liked then when they started and they are still very fresh but also richer in quality in every respect.. they the seekers are in no doubt the best the very best in what they have given to us the listening audience...we all of us say thank you seekers for the best in music....

In immersing myself in many Seekers songs over the past few months, I think this is the first I’ve heard Bruce sing lead. Such a beautiful, emotional voice and guitar performance. It’s amazing how something so simple as a ballad can create such emotions for us. And the group’s harmonies are heavenly. Thanks again to rich963 for this channel.
