Judith Durham | Long Play Series

- For a generation of fans, Judith Durham, AO is the voice of The Seekers, the Australian folk-inspired vocal quartet that took the world by storm in the 1960s. From the coffee shops of Melbourne to main-stages around the world, The Seekers became the first Australian band to sell a million copies and the first to score a simultaneous Top 10 hit in Australia, Britain and the United States. That much of the story we know.
Perhaps less known is the story of a young girl who grew up with a love of jazz and piano, whose shyness coloured all aspects of her career. In our interview, Judith talks to Brian Nankervis about her earliest musical influences, her whirlwind experience with The Seekers, her solo career and what it felt like to knock The Beatles ‘White Album’ off the No.1 spot on the UK charts.
Interviewer: Brian Nankervis

A truly amazing lady. Judith Durham is an inspiration for us all.
So long, Judith. I can't thank you enough for all the joy you brought into my life.
Judith is always so GRACIOUS, so humble and so loveable.
Yes!!!!.....you are spot on x
You said it!!
God Rest her Soul, such a lovely Lady with a voice like and Angel.
Hi from the USA. What a great interview with a fabulous woman! I have been a fan for years now and have raised two daughters who also enjoy the Seekers music. I would play Morning Town Ride as I was putting my girls down at night and would softly sing along for my daughters. I was married and a young man when The Carnival Is Over came out and my wife and I cried when we heard they were breaking up. Over the years, even though the group was not together we still had their music so we could enjoy their sounds. Now, I am 69 and when it is time for me to lay down for the night, I can turn on the wonderful sounds and bring back the memories of days gone by. My poor neighbors have to put up with my playing the music on loop, but have never had any complaints... 😉!
Wonderful memoires Dale, thanks for sharing!!
Oh Judith. You were and are so beautiful. 💖💖💖
Informative interview. RIP Judith Durham with a nightingale voice.
One of a kind. We are lucky to have experienced her talent.
Never a bored moment in this interview.
Brian Nankervis was very well prepared and did a great job structuring the interview.
He did excellent, not only structuring the interview, but also giving Judith his utmost respect and admiration, very kind, making her feel warm and comfortable for the conversation. She really enjoyed it.
An AMAZING woman and role model----I have learned a lot with this interview.
I`ve been really upset on hearing she died this last week---RIP Judith.
Condolences to the family.
That voice,those songs,the spirit of that time.All will live on in our hearts and souls forever/RIP Sweet Judith

Yes Judith, people in tears... speaking for myself, hopefully many more, in tears with your beautiful timeless voice and now God taking you away from us to lead the choir.... love you Georgy Girl ...
America is not now what it was in our time... can I hug you when I get there? I'm bringing my LesPaul.
What an angel. Just love her and will miss her so very much. ❤️❤️❤️
What a gift to have discovered Judith and The Seekers. Yes, I've heard their popular songs for years but never knew their story and their incredible talent. Their music brings joy to my heart.
The Seekers and Judith are a true treasure to be enjoyed by everyone, everywhere , forever!❤️🇨🇦😇👀🤠🎹
Third time listening. Love love love the story of Judith sleeping in for the recording
I'll never find another you .
Hilarious. The role models she names.
So rich in detail.
What a person and a voice to die for but the remarkable thing is she still has the voice even after all these years
She is spectacular
@@Peepers2 💥⚡️⭐️☄️💫🌟⚡️✨☀️
Beautifully done. The interviewer is brilliant. Not the obnoxious ones you see on English TV who, with one or two exceptions, it seems, try to outdo the stars they are interviewing. But this guy is like a breath of fresh air. And Judith, well she is a dear, so well grounded And self effacing.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback Stephanie.
Absolutely agree, Stephanie. Fascinating to hear her talking about romance.
Absolutely.
Beautiful lady, inside and out…so genuine and down to earth… she is so enthusiastic here and honest. I’m in fits of laughter with all her excitement in telling her story that she (said) “I ve forgotten your question, what was it?” She said it so simply, no exaggeration… Wow, Judith, you are still singing… with the Angels now…On The Other Side.🙏❤️💕🌈🌟✨✨✨✨✨✨🌟 💐🙏🌈🌈🌈🌈✨xxxxxxxx
She was amazing! Her voice lives on!
The context of the Seekers and Judith Durham is truly amazing. What a legacy! When you think of all the wonderful things Judith and many many other musicians have done, the creativity, ingenuity, intelligence and persistence of Humans is amazing. We have what it takes and in order to protect this and ourselves, we must apply all of our qualities to addressing climate change. :) :)
We are so lucky to have her!
Absolutely the most wonderful person who has ever lived - such a beautiful and positive personality. May you be blessed forever more Judith ❤️
She would be so honored to hear that, probably feel she doesn’t deserve it. Great lady!
Such an incredible woman a true angel on earth RIP Judith Durham
She really was. Wonderful lady!
What occurs to me is the burst of joy that's in the timbre of her voice that I hear her describing in the joyful early learning experience she had with music as well that was supported and encouraged- it's wonderful
I love your description. A burst of joy in her voice …yes a special energy that’s is captivating…nice
Judith, Top of the Pops only played top ten hits as far as I remember. So every time you were on the show, you were in the top ten that week.
I love the fluency of this interview which is so like a true dialogue. Listening to it knowing that Judith has so recently died, and feeling such a sense of loss yet here Judith is vibrant and with such an aliveness. RIP Judith
It is so sad that she died. She was so sweet and humble, and tried her best to overcome her weaknesses. But this one she couldn’t overcome. I hope she realizes how much people loved her.
Thank you, a great way to spend an hour on a cold and wet Thursday afternoon!
Hmmm…..I like this lady a lot. She touches my heart without even knowing her. Amazing. I feel like she is already my friend. She is very humble and came from humble beginnings. She wasn’t looking to be a star, just happened. I always knew she was a good person from seeing her perform, and I was right. Rest In Peace, Judith. You are the kind of person I would love to meet. I’m saddened that I never got to meet you, but knowing how you would react to people who admire you is satisfying. Thanks again!
Such a lovely and thoughtful piece you wrote here…great
“Crystallised by your own immaturity “. What a superb quote as part of Judith’s response to John's request for her advice to young women singers...Such a lot of wisdom in her reflections.....now in thecAustralian Music Vault. I agree with Judith's comment: "Thank
God that the Music Vault exists". And that they had such a superb interviewer who could evoke and "hold" Judith expressing herself.
Gratias from a long time kiwi fan of Judith Durham and
The Seekers.
Beautiful people with golden
voice. Truly so pleasing to listen Rest in prace with our Mighty Creator Judith…..
Wonderful group and wonderful lady. Best wishes always.

Judith you were a wonderful lady you will always be missed
The best interview and Judith you look so well --we have something in common I to had a crush on the boys at all different times over the years. Keeping singing- good health- thanks for a life time of your music that still gives pleasure today I intend to share your music with my Granddaughter now -introducing her to The Seekers.
Such a beautiful soul, her voice and musical talent will continue to touch our hearts for ever more ❤️
I love you Judith! That's it
🌷
She would give you a hug ❤
She has entered eternity...
I 'll Never find Another You is a very special song for my husband and me- 30+ years..........................
One class lady
Judith may be getting in age, but if you hear her voice with out music,as I heard on abc radio, about 7 years ogo,with Joh Faine,she sang with just a voice, and it was Christal clear and it blew me away,,Their is not many singers that I have heard on RUclips that sings without music,But I didn't hear Judith on this forum but radicand blew me away,John Farnham is another, and the is I bleieve is one other, but lives in the States,but still tingles,Barry Gibb,the rest need to rest.my option only.So how did I come to this result, when hear a singer with out music, to hold a tune, then you know they have an art.
Such a beautiful person with a sparking personality and a timeless voice!
Which EP cover is she referring to at 8:43? I don't see any covers that match what she's describing (microphone, hair to one side, etc.).
Might be this pre Seekers early one :
ruclips.net/video/SxndT_s7XW8/видео.html
Cover would vary though with where and when the EP was sold.
But the Only Thing what I miss was a Bass All Other was Great!
Good morning you need put here they all was in Canada to. But in there reunion they never came back to Canada or the United States too
These interviews would be so much better if Nankervis was cut out completely.
Seems to me like a really good guy, and a fan.
A beautiful andl genuine, kind and gentle style of interview...allowing Judith's humility and exquisite manner to flow naturally and just shine through!!! A lady with a truly beautiful personality. Whether speaking or singing was that God's love and light in your spirit shining out to the world? I am forever thankful Judith Durham. How blessed we were to grow up listening, singing and thoroughly enjoying the voice and melody of such a gifted singer..Simply and purely a true star.. ...thank you for all those many songs and memories.
Judith and The Seekers influenced a generation of adults, teenagers and children alike. You will continue to do so. A life well lived.💜 Thank you.
That's a guy :/
