    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

    I don’t think that any song that Judith Durham sings shows off any better the utterly staggering beauty of her voice than this song “Colours Of My Life” which she co-wrote. William Morris below says, “I feel blessed the lord gave me ears to hear her singing”. I know just he feels!.

    This song, more than any other, proves how pure her voice is. I have always enjoyed her singing as has my Dad. Every man in Australia wanted to marry her. When my Dad passed away, we played The Carnival Is Over at his funeral and Eriskay Love Lit as well. I visit him on the anniversary of his death to play some of The Seekers' songs to him. Such a pity, a beautiful lady as her, has to spend her life alone, since her partner passed away from Motor Neurons disease.
