I like you and have just Subscribed. I am English from London but even I felt emotional when I played "The Seekers-I Am Australian-Farewell Concert" especially after hearing that wonderful singer: Judith Durham had died.. ENJOY that video,my friend.
Hey Dog!! Nice to see a young buck appreciate stuff from my youth!! You need to check out the Seekers biggest hit...Georgie Girl Very cool...it's got that same upbeat vibe...with that incredible singer you liked!
The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. Judith Durham had such a beautiful voice. She just passed away recently. They had so many great hits including "Georgy Girl", "A World Of Our Own", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies. They don't make nostalgic music like this anymore. Reminds me of a simpler time.
Judith passed away the same week as Olivia Newton-John. Australia lost two of its greatest voices and heaven added two wonderful singers to its heavenly choir. The Carnival Is Over is my favourite of their hits
The beautiful and revered Judith Durham! One of Australia's most majestic singers. She recently passed away and broke all our hearts. RIP and God bless such a lovely lady x
This recording studio here is in England. It is called Abbey Road, the same one that the Beatles recorded in. Judith Durham was a tiny person with a huge strong, clear voice, an opera trained singer and pianist. The tall guy with black rimmed glasses is Athol Guy, on the double Bass, (like a huge violin). The middle guy is Bruce Woodley, guitarist, who wrote "I Am Australian." The guy on the left is Keith Potger, guitarist. These folk are the original band members.
Hi ADogg! Thank you SOO much for reacting to one of my favourite groups! I grew up to this group! The lady singer is Judith Durham and she just passed a couple of months ago! When I found out about her passing, I cried on and off ALL day! Her voice was SO pure! I LOVE channel and your little girl is adorable! Also I love your accent! Peace and Blessings to you and your family from Australia.
They r a folk band from Melbourne Australia.....her name is Judith Durham, sadly she passed away August 5, 2022.....their other big hit was Georgy Girl.....u must listen to that one.....
This is one of my favorite golden oldies. If you want a happy sound and lovely harmony, the Seekers are a nice choice. This group is part of that folk music movement that ran parallel with the heavier rock'n roll sound of the 60's. Groups like the Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, and even some of the Everly Brothers music. Peter Paul and Mary are the zeitgeist of the 60's with its pacifism and then there's 'puff' the magic dragon. Try listening to "Where have all the flowers gone?" - you will have a tear in your eye. Simon and Garfunkel are a little later but you will see some connection to the earlier stuff.
"Where have all the flowers gone?" is the most powerful song ever written to say what it says. It was written by Pete Seager He 11st did it in 1955 Marlene Dietrich did in German as "Wo die Blumen sind?" It was '62 when Peter, Paul & Mary did their version Many others have done it over the yrs but these three are the bet by far. U really should do both PP$M's version and Marlene's back to back on same vedio Bet u would increase ur viewership in German by a few 1000's
The voice is Judith Durham. I always thought of her as the wee little lass with the great large voice. Sadly, she is gone from us but happily, she will never be forgotten. "As long as your name is remembered, you will never die."
Hi, The Seeker were one of Australia best groups in the 60's 70's. Judith Durham lead singier She Died 2022 I will miss her her voice was one of the BEST so Clear so, so Beautiful. R.I.P Judith Durham, you will be missed.
Thank you for having this on Utube !!! And I appreciate your appreciation!!! The song speaks to each of us in that their is only one of us, one of you. In that sense each one of us is special! To ourself and to God and to those people who appreciate us. 😊
Another beautiful song of theirs, which was a big hit for them in the 60s here in The UK, was "The Carnival Is Over". Used to bring a tear to my old dad's eyes, whenever it came on..
The studio they're singing in is Apple Studios in London ( used by the Beatles ).The singer is Judith Durham aand she has just recently died. We love her so much that we gave her a big State Funeral and the whole country ( those of us over 50 at least ) mourned for her. Judith was considered a National Treasure here in Australia.
Abbey Road studios is owned by "The Gramaphone Company" - EMI - it was never owned by the Beatles - although the Beatles recorded there many times. I have been inside several times, including the venerated microphone store which includes some original Blumlein microphones.
No drums, no shrieking electric guitars. Soft folk rock. I remember when this song came out and I knew it was a good song and I enjoyed it but it’s only after these many years when I see the RUclipsrs play it (because they never heard of the seekers and they’ve never heard this song before) that I’ve come to appreciate what a wonderful performance by Judith and the group. It’s a simple song but they had a beautiful harmonization and just primary instruments. It’s not too little and it’s certainly not too much. it’s a solid performance that only enables you to feel the lyrics and to take it to heart.
RIP Judith Durham beautiful voice - only lost her a couple of months ago - Still my favorite song of theirs is 'I am Australian' (the full version) not so much commercial but I like many really think this should be our national anthem
Judith Durham and The Seekers are in a class by themselves. They were on 60 Minutes a couple times, which you can find right here on RUclips, great stuff.
I'm 70 now and they were always a favorite of mine. The studio where they recorded this song is the Abby Road studios that the Beatles recorded their music! Judith Durham's soprano voice is so pure and just incredible! Sadly she just passed a few months ago and I think the world lost a remarkable talent that thank goodness she is recorded!
That's considered folk music ! Judith had such a pure clear beautiful voice ! I was in the 1st grade when this came out , all my female grade school teachers used to dress like that and they all wore those dark dark stockings ! We have to keep music like this alive to remind us of the simpler times that that once was !
Great 60’s music and lead singer Judith Durham has the voice of an angel. She recently passed away RIP. They made beautiful music. Try there song “Georgie Girl” which was a big hit. Thx
Back in the day they were more famous around the world than the Beatles. They were known as a folk singing group - that style was just before pop music. One of their major hits was GEORGIE GIRL which is on youtube too. They split up as a group at one stage and then came back to sing again. Poor Judith had some major health issues later in her life and sadly died just around the same time another famous Aussie did, Olivia Newton John. Judith's voice was definitely a hit with people - she was clear and strong in her style. Sort of like the late Karen Carpenter.
I'm 69 years old, and when I was a teenager, this was one of my parents favorite songs and band. I grew up with this music in my house. I made fun of them back then, but now when I hear them it reminds me of my parents who are no longer with me. Good choice Adogg!
The Seekers were an incredibly talent group, from Australia. Their heyday was the 60's but they reunited over the years and kept performing. Judith Durham had a perfect singing voice. Sadly, we lost Judith last August. She was 79.
"Georgie Girl", goes without saying, Judith's 1968 rendition of "Danny Boy", and "Colours of My Life" at the 25th annual concert are stellar examples of Judith Durham's voice! . "Come the Day" performed at the 1967 concert is good example of the Seekers firing all cylinders! Judith Durham is a legend in Australia!
And she left the group because she wasn’t comfortable in her own self because she thought she was fat!!! How could she ever thought that? Her VOICE is/was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
That's how recordings were done in the 60's - no fancy gadgets just straight well-played instruments and voices - no gimmicks! I have their LP which I still play. Judith Durham was the lady singer - she is fantastic! Unfortunately she is no longer with us - passed away about 2yrs ago - singing with the angels now
The Seekers were an Australian group fronted by Judith Durham. Judith passed recently (August 2022) at the age of 79. She was an incredible singer. The Seekers were one of those groups that was very popular in most of the world but only had minimal success in the USA. Thier only other hit here was a song called "Georgy Girl" which was from a British movie of the same name. The Seekers were so highly regarded that years after they broke up another group was formed in the UK that called themselves "The New Seekers." They also went on to be very popular in most the world except for the USA.
This is one of the all time great Pop/Folk songs. Judith Durham is superb here, with her sublime lead vocals, riding about an octave above the others - to create a beautiful ethereal feel to the song. The baseline guitars and banjo lay a beautiful instrumental baseline to the song. FTR, I am a retired, professional music critic with 45+ years experience and 60s Pop/Folk music doesn't get much better than this song. 😁👍
I was raised with plenty of folk music. My Mom sang all these songs around the house. We girls learned to sing harmony with this and other folk songs, thanks to mom and my grampa. Peter, Paul & Mary sang some great folk music too. Well worth checking them out.
Judith Durham sang with a lung health condition which eventually caused her death this year. Please check out, 'I Am Australian," by The Seekers in concert when they were much older. It will affect you. Judith was in poor health and had to be seated. It's a knockout and people have cried while watching and hearing the song. It's beautiful.
A very very popular Australian folk /pop group in the 60s. Had massive hits and were played constantly on the radio. Judy had a magnificent voice…no auto tune here.
Da Real A Dogg, the vocalist is Judith Durham with one of the most Beautiful voice ever, (the Boys) as she would say are the most talented musicians of their time. Many songs are just amazing, i listen regularly at bedtime RUclips has a variety of The Seekers Music i recommend checking it out. Unfortunately our Judith passed away September i was heartbroken i only started listening about a year ago Such a beautiful woman and the most amazing voice. RIP Ms Judith.💖
This was mid-sixties. But the group was still active, with all of the original members, for a half-century after that. They did an Australian farewell tour in 2013 (link below to a live version of this song) and a UK farewell tour in 2014. Still sounded pretty good at that stage. ruclips.net/video/pBaO6ro1CUc/видео.html
Another Classic Aussie group, sadly we lost Judith Durham a couple of months ago, same week as we lost our Livy, Olivia Newton John, and same week Johnny Farnham "the Voice" went under the knife for cancer of the mouth.... All Aussie legends and part of my time from teens to now 💞🇦🇺
That studio is the exact room that that Beatles recorded most of their albums. Most of their hits of the day are in a similar style to this. They did record a few gospel style songs. Also one reason Australian and British artists were so popular in America is that they had no qualms what I call “mixing the black music with the white music”. While the main recording part of their career was in the 60s the band reunited in the early 90s and toured on and off right up until around 2015 even recording one song right before Durham died.
Judith Durham's voice just can't be beat. I have seen her live and she sings without effort. This is live with 3 camera's and a 2 track recorder at Abby Road in London.
Growing up I loved The Seekers…..wanted to be able to sing like Judith. When I am sponging my patients…..I’ll put on The Seekers for us to listen to and sing along!
she is Judith Durham. One of the best voices ever in music, be it pop or classical. she sang well right up to her passing away sadly, last year. the group was together from 1964- 1968- then reunited in 14993. and played often on up till about 2019
They were an Australian folk Band, and this is from the same period (mid 1960s) when artists in the "Folk music" genre, saw the all f the money that Rock Bands were making, so some of them crossed over to create a new musical genre called "Folk Rock. "The Mamas and The Papas", "Bob Dylan", "The Byrds", and many more, didn't start out as "Rock" artists. Thanks
The Girl, Judith Durham just recently died. In the Sixties these clean cut no drugs etc young folks from Australia were pushing the Beatles and the Rolling Stones out of the top places on the charts with songs like this and Georgie Girl and Leaving of Liverpool. God rest you Judith Durham. We miss you so.
Studio is EMI Abby Road - studio 2. One of the reasons 60's music is so good is that it was recorded as a "performance" with evetyone singing/playing their hearts out (see some of the Beatles 60's recordings) - nowadays it's all multi-tracked bit by bit with artists playing notes and not music - may be note perfect, but most does not have the "heart" anymore as its not a performance.
Look at their final song "I am Australian" almost an unofficial Australian anthem, recorded about 50+ years after this. The Seekers were one of the first Aussie groups to make it internationally.
You must search for, The Seekers, 1994 AFL grand final. They are older and standing in the middle of the football stadium in front of 100,000 people. They sing four absolutely magnificent songs, don’t miss it.

You need to check out the Seekers biggest hit...Georgie Girl
Very cool...it's got that same upbeat vibe...with that incredible singer you liked!

Oh no! Did she really? Off to Google the why's and when's. ☹️
Aww. She had a congenital pulmonary disease that ultimately killed her. Oh, how sad! And she STILL sang so well with that lung disorder. ☹️
Judith passed away the same week as Olivia Newton-John. Australia lost two of its greatest voices and heaven added two wonderful singers to its heavenly choir. The Carnival Is Over is my favourite of their hits
The Seekers were a very successful Australian folk group. Magic voices that blend and harmonise so well. God bless Judith miss you❤❤
This song is timeless. It's just as as good as the first time I heard it in 1964.
The beautiful and revered Judith Durham! One of Australia's most majestic singers. She recently passed away and broke all our hearts. RIP and God bless such a lovely lady x
That's our Lovely Judith Durham may she rest in RIP🕊 Warm Wishes from Queensland💖
She had a heavenly voice and the band was very talented.

Her name is Judith Durham. She sadly passed a few months ago.
“The Carnival Is Over” should be your next Seekers reaction.
Thanks 🙏🏻

No gimmicks. No electronic gadgetry. Just sheer talent! RIP Judith.
A beautiful voice and a beautiful looking lady
Amen 🙏 to that ❤
They did another wonderful song, A World Of Our Own. R.I.P. Judith Durham.
Our wonderful Aussie group. RIP Judith. I saw them for their Jubilee concert decades ago. So good
Judith had a voice like an Angel! Even into her latter years. Her voice Stayed Strong! God Rest Her Soul!🙏❤
Judith Durham had a beautiful crystal clear voice...Listen to morning town ride.
Goosebumps on this one, this gal Judith Durham, has the voice of an angel. They were from Australia.
One of my favs!! 🎧
RIP Judith.... another voice of my childhood
Recorded at The Beatles studio Abbey Road in London
The voice is Judith Durham. I always thought of her as the wee little lass with the great large voice. Sadly, she is gone from us but happily, she will never be forgotten. "As long as your name is remembered, you will never die."
Judith died a couple months ago. She was an extroidinary singer. Loved the Seekers.
Yep...that's what a studio looked like back in the day...All tubes, compressors, control boards and tapes...!!!
"A World of Our Own" is another goodie.
Whoshed me back to my teen years. Loved growing up in the 60's. Good music.
This was my mother’s favorite song and when she died we played at her funeral. I was eight years old
The Seekers! Judith Durham, Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley, Athol Guy ❤☮
Hi, The Seeker were one of Australia best groups in the 60's 70's. Judith Durham lead singier She Died 2022 I will miss her her voice was one of the BEST so Clear so, so Beautiful. R.I.P Judith Durham, you will be missed.

Rest in Peace lovely Judith Durham who passed away earlier this year. Heaven's choir has another heavenly voice.
And she left the group because she wasn’t comfortable in her own self because she thought she was fat!!! How could she ever thought that? Her VOICE is/was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!
They are in Abby Road studios, London, England, where the Beatles recorded

Bless you for actually listening and not continually interrupting the song.
Peace, love and grooviness. ❤️
'I Am Australian' at their Special Farewell Performance showed that The Seekers were still wonderful right to the end.
The Seekers were Australia's first international hot band which outsold the Beatles in one year during the 60s. RIP Judith
Love your reactions Adogg always genuine.
Your need to hear their BIG HIT "GEORGIE GIRL", circa 1966
This is one of the all time great Pop/Folk songs. Judith Durham is superb here, with her sublime lead vocals, riding about an octave above the others - to create a beautiful ethereal feel to the song. The baseline guitars and banjo lay a beautiful instrumental baseline to the song. FTR, I am a retired, professional music critic with 45+ years experience and 60s Pop/Folk music doesn't get much better than this song. 😁👍
Like the BGEES, THERE MUSIC LIVES ON. JUDITH WAS SOOO CUTE TALENTED. TOGETHER OVER 50YRS. I AM 73. LOVE THEM
I was raised with plenty of folk music. My Mom sang all these songs around the house. We girls learned to sing harmony with this and other folk songs, thanks to mom and my grampa. Peter, Paul & Mary sang some great folk music too. Well worth checking them out.
I love reminiscing back to my teens with music. I'm so glad you love it.
Judith Durham sang with a lung health condition which eventually caused her death this year. Please check out, 'I Am Australian," by The Seekers in concert when they were much older. It will affect you. Judith was in poor health and had to be seated. It's a knockout and people have cried while watching and hearing the song. It's beautiful.
A very very popular Australian folk /pop group in the 60s. Had massive hits and were played constantly on the radio. Judy had a magnificent voice…no auto tune here.
She just passed away a few weeks ago in her late 70s. Beautiful voice.
Love your openess to variety of genres🙂✌️👍
Listen to Carry Me. It was played at her memorial service. What a song.
The Seekers' first hit single, recorded at Abbey Road studios in London in the autumn of '64, reaching #1 in Feb '65.
Da Real A Dogg, the vocalist is Judith Durham with one of the most Beautiful voice ever, (the Boys) as she would say are the most talented musicians of their time.

Judith Durham. She just died a couple months ago. Had a voice like Mama Cass Elliot or Karen Carpenter. Like ringing a bell!
Growing up I loved The Seekers…..wanted to be able to sing like Judith. When I am sponging my patients…..I’ll put on The Seekers for us to listen to and sing along!
This was the first song that played in my car after my dads funeral. I had been strong all day until I heard this. Just couldn't hold it in
"The Carnival Is Over" is a great Seekers song. Judith Durham was usually the lead singer, but the guy's harmonies were superb also.
That is the EMI Studio in London, England, which later became the Abbey Road Studio. The Beatles recorded the bulk of their albums in that studio.
Great reaction! You will LOVE "Georgy Girl" by the Seekers.
"A World of Our Own" is one of many other great songs by the Seekers. A song I'd love to see you react to is "Pushin' To Hard" by The Seeds
Yes! The Seeds!!
she is Judith Durham. One of the best voices ever in music, be it pop or classical. she sang well right up to her passing away sadly, last year. the group was together from 1964- 1968- then reunited in 14993. and played often on up till about 2019
Check out "I am Australian" live in concert.
They were an Australian folk Band, and this is from the same period (mid 1960s) when artists in the "Folk music" genre, saw the all f the money that Rock Bands were making, so some of them crossed over to create a new musical genre called "Folk Rock. "The Mamas and The Papas", "Bob Dylan", "The Byrds", and many more, didn't start out as "Rock" artists.
Thanks
this is right out of a folk-pop thing from 1960's, like Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Peter, Paul, and Mary.
My favourite song by Judith Durham is a beautiful solo rendition of Eriskay Lilt which really makes you appreciate her vocal talent.
Always loved the Seekers.
The Girl, Judith Durham just recently died. In the Sixties these clean cut no drugs etc young folks from Australia were pushing the Beatles and the Rolling Stones out of the top places on the charts with songs like this and Georgie Girl and Leaving of Liverpool. God rest you Judith Durham. We miss you so.

Look at their final song "I am Australian" almost an unofficial Australian anthem, recorded about 50+ years after this. The Seekers were one of the first Aussie groups to make it internationally.
You must search for, The Seekers, 1994 AFL grand final. They are older and standing in the middle of the football stadium in front of 100,000 people. They sing four absolutely magnificent songs, don’t miss it.
