Rich, your work recording the amazing work of the Seekers is really excellent and historically very very important IMHO. Without people like you and Denny, who spend many many hours looking out high quality audio, cleaning it up and matching it with great video, and making it available to us all, this wonderful band might slip into history without the recognition it really deserves from lovers of angelic voices (JUDITH!), wonderful harmonies (Keith!), and heart-wrenching songs (Tom, Bruce, and others). Thank you, Sir... just... thank you!!!
Thanks Harry, much appreciated - I'm sure by my YT friend Dennis too! Have you seen my latest videos, which are from the Golden Jubilee concerts with much improved audio?
She'd be up their if I put together a list. I'd also include Karen Carpenter, Suzy Boggus (in her prime @ early 1990s), and Patsy Kline. Amazing thing about Judith is she hasn't lost her vocal quality, even though she's over 70 yo and has had two strokes.
Today’s singers are garbage, have no talent and barely work. Artists of the 1960’s,1970’s & before the 1960’s worked hard and rehearsed the song they sang.
This song was my wifes favourite song. We made it our song over 35 years ago. Our little farm was this song. She died suddenly a year ago and I am just beyond everything.. sigh😢
@@mlewis3068 thank you for you kind words...it was a huge loss and still is..I guess that is now permanent..it was a huge shock no warning at all..pain in the chest...dead the next day..and she didn't have any apparent heart problems...when our number is up.....
@@mottthehoople693 That had to have been such a terrible shock, to be fine and then to have lost her. I'm sure she is with you everywhere on your farm. I hope you can feel her spirit when you play her favourite song and that it brings you some comfort. I'm so very sorry for your pain and loss.
@@mlewis3068 thank you for your kind words. It was a shock no prior heart problems not over weight just going along then one friday she says I've got a pain in my chest I took her to the hospital straight way she had had a small heart attack but the hospital said she would be fine and they would send her to a bigger metropolitan hospital on monday.So we thought everything was fine these days stents and such things are a normal procedure..come saturday Im doing what i'm doing on the farm and the kids went in to see her.She was sitting up fine and dandy.I was going in to see her in the afternoon. I was on the tractor and got a phone call from the hospital from the persons tone of voice I knew things we grim..I jumped in the truck n flew into town A few hours earlier she had told the kids to go as she was feeling tired and wanted a nap. While she was asleep she had a massive heart attack the worst sort that kills the heart muscle. The hospital did their best but to no avail. She was being kept alive by machines so I told the dr to unplug everything which they did except for the heart monitor and I watched her heart slowly slow down and stop...that flat line sound will stay with me forever.. Just impossible to process
Listen to beautiful Judith sing! Do you recognize that language? ..... It is Standard English, and it is wonderful. No slurring, no clipped inflections, no mush-mouth here. It is like walking out of a polluted room into fresh air.
you can not call the rubbish beyoncee and rheanna and swift as music but it depends on how much skin is shown, how much they are willing to pay their publisher and how much sex is portrayed on their video's and miley is another one, how the hell can anyone call her total cattawall music!!!! as the old saying goes sex sells and thats the music and film industry
hmmm I know what you mean, I like the song party in the USA as it's got a lovely lively beat but the latest song's make the hair on the back of your neck stand out it's that awful but as they say sex sells and I bet she was told to do songs that provocative to sell her records and to be honest it's a shame as young girl's look to these women as role models, and most of them are mentally spent
I was a kid in the 60s in the UK. They were then very popular and often were in the charts. 'There will never be another you,' was often on the radio. This song is my favourite.
They were great in the sixties. By the late sixties music got more edgier and psychedelic. Songs echoed the times. The Viet Nam, race riots etc. This sunshiny was considered passe. The Seekers did not adapt to the changing seasons.
@@davidc6997 The Seekers were a very good group but to be honest, they never seemed to get the same kind of admiration and respect as the Beatles, the Stones, the Animals, the Dave Clark 5 and other groups at this level. No David, contrary to what you think it is not just me because lots of other music fans who I have spoken to also think that The Seekers were underrated. With all due respect, think before you make a comment like this.
fell in love with Judith Durham in high school after hearing her sing " Georgie Girl"...what a voice!!!!.....Elton John said judith durham and karen carpenter were the 2 greatest pop/contemporary female singers he ever heard......totally agree!!!!!!
Absolutely Agree!! Throw in a young Linda Ronstadt and you arguably have the 3 best Female vocalists in History IMHO! Judith was, and always will be, a perfect example of a Heavenly voice in a pretty package!
Petula Clark was Dusty's equal I believe but Judith and Karen are far above IMHO. Great singers can sing in pitch which in itself has a small range but Judith sings in pitch exactly. The only singer who sounds exactly the same singing through the MCG speaker system!
Rest in peace Judith. Though the carnival is over, your God given voice will be forever remembered and cherished in our hearts. We'll never find another you but your beautiful and crystal clear voice will always ring out a melody in our souls. Our hearts are broken and our tears are falling rain as we bid farewell to one of the best female singers of all time.
Perfect Words for our Eternal Judith!! When I listen to The Seekers I openly cry every time.... I close my eyes and imagine the Island of Dreams..... ❤😇❤
R.I.P. Judith Durham passed away last night Friday 5 August 2022. Now Our Judith is singing with the Angels as her voice soars among the heavens. Goodbye Judith and thank you for the beautiful songs you made for us. 🌸
The music is music, not noise, faces are fresh and happy, Judith Durham's voice is spectacular and so are her folkish feminine long dresses of that era 😍
Oh my GOD. I just "discovered" these guys a couple of weeks ago and I cannot get enough of listening to them or most of all TO Judith's INCREDIBLE stunning voice. I don't know - it just makes me feel happy listening to them. And she is in a class by herself. Amazing. I couldn't do justice to them with words so I'll not try. Just such a TREASURE!
I agree with you, George. They are amazing, and Judith's voice has no equal. I've been listening to them for years and still can't get enough of their music. They are truly in a league of their own!
Robert Stevens , that certainly would have happened if only the Seekers could have done some concert tours here in the USA. Their only such concert tour was around 1966, as far as I am aware.
The Seekers did have a huge exposure in the US from 1965 to 1967, but most people nixed them around 1968 or '69 for doing an ad for Coca-Cola and selling out. - Tony Arioli
I wrote about this in other comment. They were having an absolutely fantastic turn of year from 1966 to 1967, including a Royal Gala presentation at the Palladium in London and the 200,000 people concert in Sydney on March 1967. Then, having the unique opportunity of a 100 million people tv audience in America they simply turned down the April 1967 appearance in the Oscar presentation where they would sing the n.1 hit Georgy Girl. If they only had done that all doors of America would be opened for them, but fate decided other way.
In my opinion, The Seekers were the greatest singing group of the 1960s. I didn't think it at the time. What matters in the long haul is not what excites you at the moment but what stays with you. After more than 55 years, The Seekers have stayed with me. They are timeless and relevant to our times.
I always enjoy especially A WORLD OF OUR OWN & I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU as I was a young 22 year old at the time and these songs always captured me RIP JUDITH 🙏
Sen9Football Good for you! The Seekers are my favorite group. Just about all of their music can be heard here on RUclips. This music is far superior to most of what is done today. Your parents did you a great favor by introducing you to truly great music, the kind that will last forever.
My throat tightens up listening to these tunes from my childhood but back in '65 my youngest brother wasn't even born and now he is no longer with us. These songs stir up emotions that I can't describe. Such beautiful songs. Thanks for sharing
Cheryl Watkins same hear. My brother was born in 65 and is no longer with us.we used to share a bedroom and stay up late listening to this music miss those days
Heartbreak to lose Judith as well as Olivia... what an awful weekend, and an awful week. Can't believe I was crying at work today. The end of an era to lose these two icons. Nothing feels right, and I suddenly feel old and out of sorts!
+John Battles Having read so many similar comments on their YT videos - l think Judith must have had the largest no of adoring male fans than any other female singer, in the world. They are lovely to read, and reveal to me, that there has always been a lot of real gentlemen in our world, despite what popular media might have wanted us to think, esp in the '60s. What a pity she didn't know it at the time - because she had such low self esteem about her appearance.
Yes, she is 73. She lives in Melbourne, Australia. She suffered a stroke 2 years ago but recovered perfectly and actually went on tour to the UK with the Seekers in 2015. The Seekers have a fan mail set up but you will not be able to contact Judith personally.
William Brown Judith Durham has a web site, judithdurham.com. There is a link on that site to send her email. She has someone to respond to the email, probably because she gets more email than there are hours in the day to answer them.
I was brought up listening to The Seekers songs. Even in New Zealand we appreciated what a treasure Judith Durham was and still is. Judith's body has gone, but her angelic voice, music and spirit will live on for all eternity. Rest in peace Judith and may you join the great heavenly chorus in the sky with Olivia. 🌹🌹🌹
@@barryh.4220 Screamers more than singers the same for big nose Streisand, Jonathon Swartz once stated that Dion has a good voice but it's a pity that she doesn't know how to use it.
@@eienblack8570 The heck you mean! Are you talking to me mate, can't a child like you realize that everybody has their own opinion, that's the problem these days people are so bloody sensitive and offended by everything, talk about children, grow up bud, you're not getting a participation trophy anytime soon.
@@Peter-pv8xx I practically had a seizure trying to read that. Would you like me to tutor you, sweetheart? Your grammar and sentence structure are abysmal, to be honest.
Judith lights up my heart..She always looks so happy and cheerful. So sad that she's gone. But I believe in God and I know that heaven just got a little brighter. The angels are rejoicing and welcoming her home.
I'm 64, but I remember loving this and "I'll never find another you". They must have been hits when I was 3 to 6 years old but I remember being moved by them a lot. Both I and my little sister remember their last big hit "Georgie Girl".
@@digitalnomad9985 I am 56 now and love older women...they need more appreciation....since I posted lost my beautiful Japanese wife....1946---2024......I am a aging Caucasian man
Judith, you and the Seekers created a classic, perfectly beautiful sound, your vocals are unmatched. Your voice is one of a kind, we loved you and will always remember you with admiration and love.
Odd that no one has mentioned Tom Springfield (brother of Dusty) who wrote the songs made immortal by the Seekers. Incredibly, Tom passed away in July 2022 just a few weeks before Judith. Now the two of them are making heaven even sweeter. Here's to you both may you rest in peace..
I grew up in poverty listening to this great song - bless you Seekers - I'm no more poor. Your song helped me be rich in heart, mind, soul and body. I'm just an ordinary musician, senior and ageing.
Everyone saying they were born in the wrong generation. I disagree, I’m happy I was born in this generation where I have access to great music like this with the touch of a finger
One of the highlights of my life was receiving an email reply from Judith herself. She was was a beautiful Woman with an outstanding voice. So very sad to know she has passed.
Unfortunately, like so many wonderful artists of the past - she will never be known of by so many. So who's Duke Ellington. They don't even know the Duke of Earl.
I can't say I had given the The Seekers much thought over the past fifty years but hearing of Judiths passing reminded me of the prominent role they played in the soundtrack of my childhood. Goodbye Judith .... We never will find another You.
I saw these guys LIVE in Belfast , Judith had to be helped onto the stage , I thought "Oh shit , what a bummer " BUT , when that girl (of seventy odd years) started to sing , we were all transported back to the sixties , SHE WAS FANTASTIC , didnt miss a note , the guys in the band looked after her like she was a rare jewel , which she is . The Seekers are amazing , but , Judith Durham is INCREDIBLE .
Judith was interviewed on ABC Radio, here in Melbourne, about ten years ago. I was driving around for my job and listening to the interview. Out of the blue, Jon Faine, the interviewer, asked her to sing. I can't remember the song she sang, but I do remember I had to pull my car over to the side of the road, because I couldn't see through the tears. Her unaccompanied voice made me think that sometimes our mob (humans) are capable of great things. Maybe it's to experience this that is our reason to be here. Judith's difficulties in getting around are as a result of an horrendous car crash she had a while back. Did not affect her voice one jot.
Now I'm listening to this song with tears. Our Judith has just passed away. She gave us countless memories of jem of music. We will miss her. With the most love from Japan.
Dan Adams The "folksy" influences taught me to appreciate all kids of music fairly young . In the nearly 60s you could get Gayle Garnette, The New Christey Minstrels, Marianne Faithful all bending a little folk in to the mix, johnny Cash and Nat King Cole were crossing over quite smoothly. Hullabaoo, Shindig and Bandstand were weekly as were Paul Revere and the Raiders with "Where the Action is". Motown began to be blended into the mix more and more with Temps, Tops and Shirelles, Dianna Ross and the Surf Sound or the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean were surfin'est thing to ever hit vinyl I thought as was CCR or Creedence Clearwater Revival for the sixtiesesque chalenged as well as Neil Diamond, The Byrds, Glen Campbell and Dusty Springfield, Del Shannon who had a lot of other songs than "Runaway" which a good as it is is driven into the round and broken off in all the oldie shows and CD offer infomercials. Bobby Vinton, Johnny Tillotson and Gene ( Last Exit to Brooklyn) Pitney really rocked with songs most people under 40 never knew existed and later took over Frankie Lanes movie western overtures responsibiites.( I think Frankie did Rawhide). As later Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, The Who, the Guess Who, Jim Croce and so so many others cam along and outside the core rock and roll, which was fine...some of them showed a little different way and slight tangent and left society all the richer culturally and on a scale of general feelgood as well. We still have some great artists out there including some apparent admitted devil worshipers misbehaving on stage too. I'll take Chad and Jeremy, the Moody Blues ( Days of the Future Past) was released in 1967 but never got popular in the US til 1972 and was their biggest hit ever, the Hollies, Hurricane Smith ( had a couple of obscure hits in the early 70s but used to work with the Beatles but his genre was interesting to say the least), Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Cowsills ( the "Flowergirl" Song), Kenny Rogers and the First Edition way before he became a country smash aand so so many ore than I could ever emember over the vast majority of current offerings though there is some very good 80s 90s and 2000s music out there LOL. Katie Perry and Nickie Minaj will never top Judy Collins, Carly Simon, LINDA RONDSTADT=OMG who could forget that album cover with the skates and big socks LOL-or Long Long Time , and others so vintage that the spell checker don't even remember them much less how to spell them....Here's to all the artist that evoked all our feelings of puppy love, told off that girl or guy for us in song that e never got to and spoke to our very soul even though they didn't know us all and for sure the world will be much poorer for your passing one day. You people who we not afraid for your children to listen to unsupervised and who just sang their hearts out for us. These and so many legions more e will not see our like again. SALUD
I'm with you Marsh. Standing in my garage looking at hand tools I have had for half a century, I can't believe I'm 77. One consolation though, those tools all say "forged in the USA." A wonderful time and a sad time to be alive. The music will never be matched.
Still can't believe the georgeous Judy is gone from us as is my own beautiful wife .Life will never be the same without these wonderful women but they will be singing together in heaven
I agree with you. But if we don’t roll with the changes, none of us can survive. Just keep that special moment in your heart and visit that special place often.
One of my favourite concerts EVER was finally seeing these geniuses of harmony in their delayed 50 year anniversary concert at the Albert Hall. Just wonderful.
Every now and then a band comes along with 'that' sound. The right time and place. It's a shame Judith decided to leave the group just as their star was shining. How many other fantastic songs were not made. And none of them had the stella success the band had. Still, anytime I'm feeling down or things are bad, I just play some of the Seekers and all my troubles seem to disappear.
When I was 23 years old, I was in my junior year studying Civil Engineering in California with the Vietnam War overwhelming the Country and the entire world and now at 77 years old and retired, I get all teared up and goosebumps every time I hear this song for it brought back bitter sweet memories of all the friends I lost and those who came home sadly severely wounded. God bless you all "SEEKERS" and all who lost or returned wounded.Thank you for your sacrifice.
Born in '53 I jumped straight from The Beatles to Hendrix but I still found time and made space to have a massive crush on Judith Durham and love her voice to this day. Thanks for posting
My grandfather used to play The Seekers on his radiogram (who can remember radiograms?). And now, some 60 years later, I occasionally play them on CD in my car. Their music is as good as ever.
Not true - there are so many musicians out there today doing this exact thing. The problem being there's so much out there it's difficult to find. Keep looking - you'll find something.
actually, i've been playing guitar for 5 yrs and i only play oldies like this. i just learned "ill never find another you" and not all of what the Boomers had was much better than what we have today
@@arbellfriday6613 I search it and no today singers could do what the seekers do. No today singers sounds like judith. You cannot compare legend to nobody So dont be delutional by comparing something not match
Judith's voice is one of the most iconic I have ever heard, so many hits I enjoyed when I was young in the 60's and 70's. Judith you are missed so very much, R.I.P.
Sitting here and have just watched the third video of this fabulous group. My eyes are swelling with tears listening to this music. There will never be a time like the 60s ever again. What a wonderful time period the 60 and 70 were to grow up in, with the Seekers music as our Backdrop.
Well done Rae ..... judith Durham was only about you age when she arrived in England in 1964, and i was only about eight years old, but she had me spellbound , i loved her ....... her sheer class shone through , it always has !
It's now 2016 and I remember this song like yesterday, It would be great if we could live it all over again. Thanks for the memories. Take care out there, we are living in a diferent world .
Im 43 and I wish I could rediscover the music I have fallen in love with over my life, music is the best therapy for a tired unhappy mind. And the Seekers really take you somewhere else, thank you for the memories....and the funny thing is I wasn't even alive when these song were out, actually its kind of sad.

@@johnrichardson2901 I think some of them were recorded at Abbey Road studious up stairs?
RIP Judith. What a beautiful voice.
Such an understatement, "beautiful voice"
"I'll never find another you."
My exact thoughts.
😢
Her Soul goes singing on.
Judith has the most crystal clear voice ever. You can hear clearly every single word. She is brilliant.
Couldn't agree more , she is a stunning singer ....
Annifrid Lyngstad of Abba has that very clarity as well. Fierce, intense and cutting voice
certainly no auto tune involved
She'd be up their if I put together a list. I'd also include Karen Carpenter, Suzy Boggus (in her prime @ early 1990s), and Patsy Kline. Amazing thing about Judith is she hasn't lost her vocal quality, even though she's over 70 yo and has had two strokes.
Karen Carpenter might have something to say about that.
If you grew up listening to music like this, you were lucky.
Nicely written performed and produced - no pro-tools or autotune in sight, just talent. Brings back very happy memories of a great childhood.
Indeed I was lucky! It was awesome!
I did and I was ❤
I consider myself VERY ;lucky to have been born and grown up in this era.
Yes I was and am. I’ve been blessed everyone of my 71 years
Judith had the voice of an angel. She was in a class by herself and puts today's "singers" (screamers) to shame.
Today’s singers are garbage, have no talent and barely work. Artists of the 1960’s,1970’s & before the 1960’s worked hard and rehearsed the song they sang.
You got that right today don't sing just yell.
Sure does. They should look at her and be ashamed of themselves. She’s a “real” singer!
There are many good young singers on RUclips. You just have to look.

Robert Stevens , that certainly would have happened if only the Seekers could have done some concert tours here in the USA. Their only such concert tour was around 1966, as far as I am aware.
The Seekers did have a huge exposure in the US from 1965 to 1967, but most people nixed them around 1968 or '69 for doing an ad for Coca-Cola and selling out. - Tony Arioli
The group did do an Ed Sullivan Show appearance in one of their rare US TV appearances.
I wrote about this in other comment. They were having an absolutely fantastic turn of year from 1966 to 1967, including a Royal Gala presentation at the Palladium in London and the 200,000 people concert in Sydney on March 1967. Then, having the unique opportunity of a 100 million people tv audience in America they simply turned down the April 1967 appearance in the Oscar presentation where they would sing the n.1 hit Georgy Girl. If they only had done that all doors of America would be opened for them, but fate decided other way.
Agree 100%. No doubt. Thank God for RUclips!!!
It has always been a combination of Judiths' stunning voice coupled with the boys' extraordinary harmonies. What an OUTSTANDING group!!!
I totally agree. The amazing thing is my favourite genre is metal and I love the seekers and have seen them live as well.
Exactly right.
Amazing harmonies indeed
Now she's gone to a world of her own.
In my opinion, The Seekers were the greatest singing group of the 1960s. I didn't think it at the time. What matters in the long haul is not what excites you at the moment but what stays with you. After more than 55 years, The Seekers have stayed with me. They are timeless and relevant to our times.
I couldn't agree with you more, they were and are still the best.
I always enjoy especially A WORLD OF OUR OWN & I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU as I was a young 22 year old at the time and these songs always captured me RIP JUDITH 🙏
@@dennisisaacs5836 Those were my two favorite Seekers songs, followed by "Georgie Girl."
Who's listen while in lock down brill music better then the crap that's out now
Spot on pure quality
I'm 66, live in the Ribble Valley in Lancashire UK, and dreaming of the good old days,
Me from Malaysia under 4th week of lock down.
I'm only 20 and I agree!!
lolasum sumi-s
I'm a 17 year old in 2017 watching this video because thankfully my parents raised me with the right music ❤️
Sen9Football Good for you! The Seekers are my favorite group. Just about all of their music can be heard here on RUclips. This music is far superior to most of what is done today. Your parents did you a great favor by introducing you to truly great music, the kind that will last forever.
Sen9Football you give me some hope in todays youth my friend
Here Here!
really?
I was 12 when this song came out.
Wow a long. Time ago, food music, no brilliant music.
I thought Judith Durham was absolutely cute and gorgeous.
Fantastic Talent!!! Aug. 29,2023.
Judith Durham. You made me sing! You had soul. The finest angelic voice on Earth. Wish I could have met you. Rest in Peace awesome lady.
The voice of an Angel.
Face, too
Truly 😇
Judith and Allison Krause, absolutely angelic voices, easy on the eyes too.
RIP Judith.... your beautiful voice will be missed.
Goodbye sweet Judith.
Such a great voice.
Now you are one of God's beautiful angels 😓
I really wish could hear this song with my father. Just for one more time.
I miss you so much Dad
My throat tightens up listening to these tunes from my childhood but back in '65 my youngest brother wasn't even born and now he is no longer with us. These songs stir up emotions that I can't describe. Such beautiful songs. Thanks for sharing
Enough to choke me up - that was when music was real music.
+1, Cheryl.
Cheryl Watkins same hear. My brother was born in 65 and is no longer with us.we used to share a bedroom and stay up late listening to this music miss those days
So sad that these songs are simply no more!
does me too...........tight hugs xx
Judith had a one of a kind voice. Best female singer ever born. The guys are the best too.
As a young boy in the 60’s I adored the Seekers and was very much in love with Judith! Mind you I think most guys were back then.....I still am😊💖
She was adorable and a great lady. You weren’t out of your league to love her. She was so beautiful, kind, and lovely. I think so myself.
Heartbreak to lose Judith as well as Olivia... what an awful weekend, and an awful week. Can't believe I was crying at work today. The end of an era to lose these two icons. Nothing feels right, and I suddenly feel old and out of sorts!
Magnificent smile, miraculous voice, exquisite charm, ladylike elegance, feminine grace -- that is Judith Durham!
+John Battles how could those guys not have a crush on Judith? I still do!
+John Battles Having read so many similar comments on their YT videos - l think Judith must have had the largest no of adoring male fans than any other female singer, in the world. They are lovely to read, and reveal to me, that there has always been a lot of real gentlemen in our world, despite what popular media might have wanted us to think, esp in the '60s. What a pity she didn't know it at the time - because she had such low self esteem about her appearance.
At one point they were bigger than the Beatles...
Schrödinger's cat would beg to differ.
Robert O'Connor You go ahead and judge. It's your right as a true American.
I love the Seekers, always have and always will. Judith is wonderful, her voice unique and to see her in her prime at 25 makes me feel my age. I'm 73
Is Judith still alive? I'd love to contact her. Know how I might do so?
Yes, she is 73. She lives in Melbourne, Australia. She suffered a stroke 2 years ago but recovered perfectly and actually went on tour to the UK with the Seekers in 2015. The Seekers have a fan mail set up but you will not be able to contact Judith personally.
William Brown Judith Durham has a web site, judithdurham.com. There is a link on that site to send her email. She has someone to respond to the email, probably because she gets more email than there are hours in the day to answer them.
Adrian Larkins I'm 70 Adrian this music is far far better than today's rubbish
Judith is also 73, born in July 1943.
I was brought up listening to The Seekers songs. Even in New Zealand we appreciated what
a treasure Judith Durham was and still is. Judith's body has gone, but her angelic voice, music
and spirit will live on for all eternity.
Rest in peace Judith and may you join the great heavenly chorus in the sky with Olivia.
🌹🌹🌹
Even in South Africa the Seekers were very popular. RIP Judith Durham - Magic voice and lovely cheerful personality. And oh, those songs!
We LOVED Judith Durham here in NZ! My parents went to their concert in New Plymouth in Feb 1968.
NOT SO>
@@tonyfriend7413 ???
You can see Judith feels really beautiful in this video the way she moves, her gorgeous pink gown and of coarse her iconic voice, I miss her already.
One of the best bands in history. Judith sings like a Nightingale better than the pathetic efforts that call them selves 'singers' in 2020!
Celine Dion can certainly sing , as could Whitney Houston ....... but Judith Durham could hold her own in any company, no doubt whatsoever about that!
@@barryh.4220 Screamers more than singers the same for big nose Streisand, Jonathon Swartz once stated that Dion has a good voice but it's a pity that she doesn't know how to use it.
I wonder if bitter little children like you are capable of encouraging one person without putting someone else down.
@@eienblack8570 The heck you mean! Are you talking to me mate, can't a child like you realize that everybody has their own opinion, that's the problem these days people are so bloody sensitive and offended by everything, talk about children, grow up bud, you're not getting a participation trophy anytime soon.
@@Peter-pv8xx I practically had a seizure trying to read that. Would you like me to tutor you, sweetheart? Your grammar and sentence structure are abysmal, to be honest.
Just got word that Judith died today. A virtuous woman with a one in a billion voice. God bless her friends and family!
I'm not really a big folk music fan, but I can't get enough of her voice.
She has the voice of an angel .... she is so gifted , what a singer!
Me too
@@barryh.4220 now, she is an angel.
Judith lights up my heart..She always looks so happy and cheerful. So sad that she's gone. But I believe in God and I know that heaven just got a little brighter. The angels are rejoicing and welcoming her home.
The Seekers were EPIC! Judith Durham's voice is unmatched!
I'm just 53. And feel more in touch with this era than I do my own generation 🤗💕🤗
Me too!
I'm 64, but I remember loving this and "I'll never find another you". They must have been hits when I was 3 to 6 years old but I remember being moved by them a lot. Both I and my little sister remember their last big hit "Georgie Girl".
@@digitalnomad9985 I am 56 now and love older women...they need more appreciation....since I posted lost my beautiful Japanese wife....1946---2024......I am a aging Caucasian man
She is the best female vocalist I've ever heard.... and very pretty too!
Judith, you and the Seekers created a classic, perfectly beautiful sound, your vocals are unmatched. Your voice is one of a kind, we loved you and will always remember you with admiration and love.
Odd that no one has mentioned Tom Springfield (brother of Dusty) who wrote the songs made immortal by the Seekers. Incredibly, Tom passed away in July 2022 just a few weeks before Judith. Now the two of them are making heaven even sweeter. Here's to you both may you rest in peace..
And don't forget that voice was natural and not enhanced by all the electronic wizardry available today. Judy Durham is the real deal.
Gift from God, and to think she had lung problems. A first rate musician.
Great point about her now needing electronic enhancement! Thanks.
You sure read that wrong. That is not what he wrote.
👍
💞🎶🎼💗🎼💖🎶💞🎼💗🎶😁💗💗💗
I grew up in poverty listening to this great song - bless you Seekers - I'm no more poor. Your song helped me be rich in heart, mind, soul and body. I'm just an ordinary musician, senior and ageing.
Ageing is a price we pay for life but hope is a gift we give ourselves and music is a joy we give to others.....happy playing, amigo.
Such talent. Such class. This is real music. Not like today's garbage.
Don't tell that to any Millennials because they will probably say, "OK Boomer."
Things are not what they were, but they never were.
As a baby boomer it is never a crime to go back to hear the beauty of lyrics and authenticity of great music God Bless ALL!!!
@@watersidelapper6314 I wholeheartedly agree!
Everyone saying they were born in the wrong generation. I disagree, I’m happy I was born in this generation where I have access to great music like this with the touch of a finger
The voice of an angel!! Judith, you were the best!! Rest In Peace.
One of the highlights of my life was receiving an email reply from Judith herself. She was was a beautiful Woman with an outstanding voice. So very sad to know she has passed.
Still one of the most fantastic groups EVER... Judith's straight ahead, pitch perfect voice was unmistakeable. Harmonies fab..
I was 11 when this song came out, it's part of the soundtrack of my life. RIP Judith. Go sing with the Angels
RIP Judith. An absolutely superb female voice. None finer
The perfect song during Covid 2020. Who else agrees?
Yes indeed the music of this era helps during this covid19 time Judy and the seekers were brilliant love their music
...rest well Judith Durham...you will be forever be remembered through your evergreen songs...
Judith is one of the greatest ever female singers. Today's singers can only dream of being as good as her. Take 'em to school Judith
Unfortunately, like so many wonderful artists of the past - she will never be known of by so many. So who's Duke Ellington. They don't even know the Duke of Earl.
Brilliant comment complete brilliance
@@barbaramack2897 who doesn't know Duke of Earl fair dinkum classic of all time - gene Chandler
Listening to this with a lump in my throat, but still loving the song - RIP Judith, you'll never be forgotten
I can't say I had given the The Seekers much thought over the past fifty years but hearing of Judiths passing reminded me of the prominent role they played in the soundtrack of my childhood. Goodbye Judith .... We never will find another You.
She's still the best I've ever heard, even after all these years! How lovely she is.
Totally agree!
Well, then, give THIS a listen, ALL the way to the end. Incredible, and that's from a musician of nearly 57 years ...
I saw these guys LIVE in Belfast , Judith had to be helped onto the stage , I thought "Oh shit , what a bummer " BUT , when that girl (of seventy odd years) started to sing , we were all transported back to the sixties , SHE WAS FANTASTIC , didnt miss a note , the guys in the band looked after her like she was a rare jewel , which she is . The Seekers are amazing , but , Judith Durham is INCREDIBLE .
Judith was interviewed on ABC Radio, here in Melbourne, about ten years ago. I was driving around for my job and listening to the interview. Out of the blue, Jon Faine, the interviewer, asked her to sing. I can't remember the song she sang, but I do remember I had to pull my car over to the side of the road, because I couldn't see through the tears. Her unaccompanied voice made me think that sometimes our mob (humans) are capable of great things. Maybe it's to experience this that is our reason to be here.
Judith's difficulties in getting around are as a result of an horrendous car crash she had a while back. Did not affect her voice one jot.
Judith Durham- In a league of her own-paramount!
Now I'm listening to this song with tears. Our Judith has just passed away. She gave us countless memories of jem of music. We will miss her.
With the most love from Japan.
RIP Judith Durham. 6th August 2022.
Such a sad loss.
But we still have her music to help us through our lives.
tears in my eyes thinking of a time long gone by
I know those tears. I miss those years. I can't believe I'm in my sixties now.
John Repsher Just be glad that you were there to experience the best music that this country has ever seen. Rock,pop,country. What an era!
John Repsher me too..this is Judith at her prettiest, and the band at their best...
Dan Adams The "folksy" influences taught me to appreciate all kids of music fairly young . In the nearly 60s you could get Gayle Garnette, The New Christey Minstrels, Marianne Faithful all bending a little folk in to the mix, johnny Cash and Nat King Cole were crossing over quite smoothly. Hullabaoo, Shindig and Bandstand were weekly as were Paul Revere and the Raiders with "Where the Action is". Motown began to be blended into the mix more and more with Temps, Tops and Shirelles, Dianna Ross and the Surf Sound or the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean were surfin'est thing to ever hit vinyl I thought as was CCR or Creedence Clearwater Revival for the sixtiesesque chalenged as well as Neil Diamond, The Byrds, Glen Campbell and Dusty Springfield, Del Shannon who had a lot of other songs than "Runaway" which a good as it is is driven into the round and broken off in all the oldie shows and CD offer infomercials. Bobby Vinton, Johnny Tillotson and Gene ( Last Exit to Brooklyn) Pitney really rocked with songs most people under 40 never knew existed and later took over Frankie Lanes movie western overtures responsibiites.( I think Frankie did Rawhide). As later Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, The Who, the Guess Who, Jim Croce and so so many others cam along and outside the core rock and roll, which was fine...some of them showed a little different way and slight tangent and left society all the richer culturally and on a scale of general feelgood as well. We still have some great artists out there including some apparent admitted devil worshipers misbehaving on stage too. I'll take Chad and Jeremy, the Moody Blues ( Days of the Future Past) was released in 1967 but never got popular in the US til 1972 and was their biggest hit ever, the Hollies, Hurricane Smith ( had a couple of obscure hits in the early 70s but used to work with the Beatles but his genre was interesting to say the least), Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Cowsills ( the "Flowergirl" Song), Kenny Rogers and the First Edition way before he became a country smash aand so so many ore than I could ever emember over the vast majority of current offerings though there is some very good 80s 90s and 2000s music out there LOL. Katie Perry and Nickie Minaj will never top Judy Collins, Carly Simon, LINDA RONDSTADT=OMG who could forget that album cover with the skates and big socks LOL-or Long Long Time , and others so vintage that the spell checker don't even remember them much less how to spell them....Here's to all the artist that evoked all our feelings of puppy love, told off that girl or guy for us in song that e never got to and spoke to our very soul even though they didn't know us all and for sure the world will be much poorer for your passing one day. You people who we not afraid for your children to listen to unsupervised and who just sang their hearts out for us. These and so many legions more e will not see our like again. SALUD
I'm with you Marsh. Standing in my garage looking at hand tools I have had for half a century, I can't believe I'm 77. One consolation though, those tools all say "forged in the USA." A wonderful time and a sad time to be alive. The music will never be matched.
Still can't believe the georgeous Judy is gone from us as is my own beautiful wife .Life will never be the same without these wonderful women but they will be singing together in heaven
What a great group The Seekers were. They summed up a wonderful era of music.
A simpler time. Sad that its gone...….and what did we learn ? Nothing.
I agree with you. But if we don’t roll with the changes, none of us can survive. Just keep that special moment in your heart and visit that special place often.
Well we learned that every week of the 60's produced more good songs than the last 10 years
the music of the Seekers hasn't gone though , and it probably never will ...
You did your part Frank. You learned something.
I live in that special time and place, and change when I need to. They need a lot more singers and players like The Seekers in these days.
One of my favourite concerts EVER was finally seeing these geniuses of harmony in their delayed 50 year anniversary concert at the Albert Hall. Just wonderful.
Hello👋 how are you doing?
Folks, it doesn't get any better then this!
ilrmbru2b , you sure got that one right. I'm sure literally thousands will also agree with you on this.
Actually, it does. Have you ever heard of Opera?
Thank you judith for sharing your beautiful voice and the seekers beautiful music 🎶 🎵 ❤ RIP sing for the lord in heaven 🙏 ❤
Love the Seekers, who are not often included as one of the great groups of the '60s. This is a great mix!
She still is alive in our hearts...stop trying be a " music Critic...have you ever played an instrument or sang a note in your life???
@@williamhighfill539 Are you asking me about playing an instrument or singing?
@@Tbone51 just seems to be an odd fellow on the internet trying to pick fights/arguments with strangers, best to ignore him mate.
@@eymanyouwell I think you’re right. The irony is that I’ve been a professional musician most of my life.
Every now and then a band comes along with 'that' sound. The right time and place. It's a shame Judith decided to leave the group just as their star was shining. How many other fantastic songs were not made. And none of them had the stella success the band had. Still, anytime I'm feeling down or things are bad, I just play some of the Seekers and all my troubles seem to disappear.
Dame Judith had something all too few of our 'modern' performers have... Class! Oh, and talent!
RIP Judith. Voice of an angel 🥺
Who are the 48 tone deaf dummies that don't like this great song and group?? This group and song warms your heart !!
You got it!...many people do NOT GET IT!!...and will never realize Great Stuff!..
Judith's Voice is So Beautiful !!
Who cares, they're a bunch of losers.
This song is perfection.
stupid wankers that who they are Ron
no brainers
When I was 23 years old, I was in my junior year studying Civil Engineering in California with the Vietnam War overwhelming the Country and the entire world and now at 77 years old and retired, I get all teared up and goosebumps every time I hear this song for it brought back bitter sweet memories of all the friends I lost and those who came home sadly severely wounded. God bless you all "SEEKERS" and all who lost or returned wounded.Thank you for your sacrifice.
Born in '53 I jumped straight from The Beatles to Hendrix but I still found time and made space to have a massive crush on Judith Durham and love her voice to this day. Thanks for posting
Good looks,great harmony,Judith’s voice,talented musicians and style-- they had it all 👍
My grandfather used to play The Seekers on his radiogram (who can remember radiograms?). And now, some 60 years later, I occasionally play them on CD in my car. Their music is as good as ever.
Actually, more like 50 years ago.
It wasn't just her voice but also the way she always looked like she was having so much *fun* that makes The Seekers so infectious.
The modern generation misses out so much on the joy of the physicality of making music.
Not true - there are so many musicians out there today doing this exact thing. The problem being there's so much out there it's difficult to find. Keep looking - you'll find something.
actually, i've been playing guitar for 5 yrs and i only play oldies like this. i just learned "ill never find another you" and not all of what the Boomers had was much better than what we have today
@@arbellfriday6613 just give us example who can do as good as this, you said many
@@rindangrahmadia9504 Do it yourself, don't be so lazy.
@@arbellfriday6613
I search it and no today singers could do what the seekers do.
No today singers sounds like judith.
You cannot compare legend to nobody
So dont be delutional by comparing something not match
Judith's voice is one of the most iconic I have ever heard, so many hits I enjoyed when I was young in the 60's and 70's. Judith you are missed so very much, R.I.P.
RIP Judith Durham...the voice of an angel..😢
All the Seekers deserve kudos. Great harmonies as always. How could anyone not like this wonderful group.
Hated this music when I was a kid growing up in late sixties and seventies and now I can't get enough of it.
I listen this songs 4-5 times everyday..but still it not gets old..it has loads of magic in it
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore and how is the weather over there
I saw the Seekers perform at the Mission estate winery, in Napier NewZealand back in about 2001.
Judith Durham has the voice of an angel.
Lucky you. 👍🏻
Strong, beautiful Lady with a voice of angels.
RIP and long live Judith Durham (July 3, 1943 - August 5, 2022), aged 79
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Sitting here and have just watched the third video of this fabulous group. My eyes are swelling with tears listening to this music.
There will never be a time like the 60s ever again. What a wonderful time period the 60 and 70 were to grow up in, with the Seekers music as our
Backdrop.
I'm 21 and found this by accident, but I LOVE it.
I hope you spread the word! A wonderful group with so many great songs.
me too
The future is in safe hands!
Well done Rae ..... judith Durham was only about you age when she arrived in England in 1964, and i was only about eight years old, but she had me spellbound , i loved her ....... her sheer class shone through , it always has !
It's nice seeing young people enjoying old music. 💖
Judith had such a BEAUTIFUL voice
She still does.
Such a great group. Judith had such a wonderful warm voice. Miss her. Rest In Peace Judith
Love you Judith. Thanks for the music! 😇
It's now 2016 and I remember this song like yesterday, It would be great if we could live it all over again. Thanks for the memories. Take care out there, we are living in a diferent world .
There is overwhelming evidence that our universe is artificial. So you may have your wish!
Leave the dangerous narcotics alone.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
SuperGrook
It was a different world, maybe a bit better than now. You are right, things change.
I just discovered these old songs and the seekers themselves and love them. There voices are incredible
Thank you Rich for collecting compiling and sharing so many more can enjoy this treasure!
A stunning natural beauty with the voice of an angel. Still amazing today ❤️
RIPJudith. the most beautiful voice ever.you will never be forgotten.
So glad that Judith Durham's matchless voice has been captured for future generations. RIP Judith.
Im 43 and I wish I could rediscover the music I have fallen in love with over my life, music is the best therapy for a tired unhappy mind. And the Seekers really take you somewhere else, thank you for the memories....and the funny thing is I wasn't even alive when these song were out, actually its kind of sad.
