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", "The Carnival Is Over", "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.
And they sounded just as good 50 years later. RIP Judith.
Judith Durham will knock your socks off. Smooth and powerful. No one sings like her. She has now gone from this world, but Australians love her without end. Recorded at Abby Road Studios, in London.
Beautiful song! Indeed it was a number 1 hit on the British charts, and made it to number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Top 100.
Hey There, Georgie Girl!❤
As others have said, Georgy Girl is another big hit by them. Also, a beautiful, and sad song, The Carnival is Over. The three guys are all still alive, the Bass player, Athol Guy is 83, the 6-string player, Bruce Woodley, is 81, and the 12-string player, Keith Potger, who you thought was the youngest, is 82. Judith Durham, who died last year, was the youngest, dying at age 79.
I remember crying , listening to "The Carnival Is Over" as a 15-year-old Boy in London as the 1960's decade was ending.
Somehow,I must have, instinctively, realized the end of a wonderful decade that would never be surpassed imo.
Judith had one of the finest singing voices in the world. She wrote and did a song called It's Hard to Leave" a heartbreaking song. This song was part of a TV special produced with color film. They had recorded this in the Beatles' home studio, Abbey Road, London. n November 1964, I'll Never Find Another You hit number 1 on the charts in Australia and the UK and number 4 in the USA.
Great song. She has the voice of an angel.
AB you wont be surprised with those harmonies The Seekers started out as a folk and gospel group, The Seekers - featuring the golden soprano voice of Judith Durham, and harmonies of Athol Guy, Keith Potger and Bruce Woodley ....Just as Soul music of the 60s and todate has its roots in Gospel . The Seekers sound too came from their deeply spiritual and religious beliefs . Judith RIP passed away in 2022 from broncial illness that she had suffered all her life.....The SEEKERS from Australia were flown to England in 1964 in the middle of Beatle Mania they became overnight superstars with huge record sales in the U.S and UK and Worldwide ....50 million records .
This was a #1 hit in some countries, and top 5 in the US. for most people, they are known for this and one other song: "Georgy Girl". This is one thing that music sounded like in 1964. There were also things like "A Hard Day's Night" by The Beatles, "Don't Worry Baby" by the Beach Boys, "Under the Boardwalk" by The Drifters, "Where Did Our Love Go" by the Supremes, "Good Times" by Sam Cooke, and "Pretty Woman" by Roy Orbison.
They are the most famous 2 songs but they had so many other hits,as well:)
Listen to the power in Judith's voice.
The Seekers might never have happened had the young Judith Durham, primarily a solo Jazz singer, not accepted an invitation to join the three guys she sang on and off with on a year-long cruise ship gig. Having arrived in England at the end of their first trip, they accepted some live engagements and made some recordings to fill in the time before the return trip. These went down so well that they were soon appearing on British TV, The cruise ship left for Australia without them.
At one of their UK engagements they met a songwriter called Dion O'Brien, who had been mainly writing for his Folk/Country trio, The Springfields. But their lead singer, his sister Mary, was into Soul, R&B and Motown and had this crazy idea she could succeed as a White Soul singer. Maybe, he thought, these great-sounding Aussies would record his songs instead. He gave them this song, which was an instant success, followed by another and then another. The Springfields were evidently no more with no lead singer but he would continue to write for The Seekers using his adopted Springfields nom-de-plume, Tom Springfield while sister Mary seemed to be living her dream . . . as Dusty.
Wow! Thank you for this information! The Seekers came on the scene when I was just a boy, and I had a really bad crush on Judith! Never knew the cruise ship story of how they came together. That's awesome! Also never knew the story behind one of my other favorite female artists -- Dusty Springfield! LOL! My favorite of hers is "I Only Want to Be With You."
Actually the Seekers were established as a group for several years with Judith before the cruise ship.
Several top selling Australian Albums that were even more folk oriented to their credit.
This clip is from an Australian TV special "The World of the Seekers" that recreated their story so far. It is on RUclips. Around an hour long.
@@johnd8892 Established maybe, since that's open to interpretation, but certainly not with Judith "for several years" since she only met Athol Guy in 1962, the year the boys evolved from The Escorts into The Seekers, and they were in England by May 1964. Judith was also pursuing a solo career in Australia, which is what I meant when I said she sang with the boys on and off. When she wasn't being a Seeker, she was singing lead with Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers. Presumably The Seekers' unexpected success in Britain relegated her jazz singer aspirations to the back burner. What I have no facts to dispute is whether The Seekers managed to record several top selling albums in the brief period between their formation in '62 and their planned cruise trip residence in '64 or that these were with Judith, but the group's very existence with or without Judith "for several years" by early 1964 smacks of misrepresentation.
@@way2deep100 Wikipedia confirms some of my memory :
The Seekers consisted of Durham, Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger, an ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corp.) radio producer. Through Potger's position the three were able to make a demo tape in their spare time. This was given to W&G Records, which wanted another sample of Durham's voice before agreeing to record a Jazz Preachers' album. W&G instead signed the Seekers for an album, Introducing the Seekers, in 1963. Durham, however, recorded two other songs with the Jazz Preachers, "Muddy Water" (which appeared on their album Jazz from the Pulpit) and "Trombone Frankie" (an adapted version of Bessie Smith's "Trombone Cholly").
Key date was that Judith was active in the Seekers in 1963. Looks like W&G saw the key person in the group was Judith even though she was also recording for The Jazz Preachers at the same time for a little bit of time.
A bit too vague of me to say several years but Introducing the Seekers was 1963 before they left on the trip and she was established as the major asset of the Seekers by those making the decisions before they left with the album to show for it at least. Even though she may have taken some convincing to make the trip.
@@johnd8892 So we're pretty much in agreement. In the same year "Introducing the Seekers" was released, W&G also put out "Judy Durham" (WG-E-1706), a four-song EP recorded with Frank Traynor's Jazz Preachers. Perhaps they were prescient enough to realise that the Seekers would become massive in a way Judith singing Jazz and Gospel might not. But I think it's fair to say that, whatever anyone else's opinion, Judith was neither a committed Seeker nor Preacher at that time and, had the Seekers bombed in Britain and continued as cruise ship entertainers for the remainder of their contract, she would have been back in the jazz clubs actively pursuing her first love just as she had before her overseas adventure.
Mate they are legend in Australia and their swan song was and is "I am Australian" it equals the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God bless America" to Ozy's. It encompasses the history, culture and pride of the country.
Judith Durham (RIP) was just an amazing singing, and adorable too. They showed them doing a golden-oldie special and Judith looked just the same as she did in this video. Many know their songs from movies and listening to the radio, but not realize exactly who The Seekers really were, which is a shame. Their "Geogy Girl" was probably their most known song and used in a number of movies and TV shows.
This was their first #1 hit that knocked the Beatles out of the no. 1 spot, their second hit knocked the Stones out of No. 1 , and their third I believe knocked out the Dave Clark 5. Talking about the UK. They were Australia’s first international Superstars and still hold the record for the largest live performance in the Southern Hemisphere with a crowd over 200K.
So many hits by these guys! My favorite is " I am Australian "
For an Aussie that has to be the favourite. Brings a tear to the eye of many a tough Aussie guy.
It made me laugh when you said, "they play instruments AND sing?! Crazy, isn't it.
The Seekers were fabulous!
The Seekers: "Georgy Girl"
"Georgy Girl" from 1966-7 is a banger
I was born in 1962 and I love 60’s music! So many great songs.
You obviously have EXCELLENT taste! The Seekers are one of my FAVOURITE groups! Grew up with them!
this is Folk music, some of the best
So Sweet Pure Class
Color TV exploded on the scene in '64. I was there as a fresh faced 13 year old. And yes, the Beatles landed in the US in '64 and rocked it.
Although this was from an Australian 1968 huge rating TV special. It was a recreation of their career so far so they recreated the key 1964 recording session.
The Nine TV network went to the extra expense of having this special filmed in colour. Lucky for us as videotape was no where near this quality until many years later. Anything with high quality colour from this era was on film as of course were all colour movie releases back to the thirties like Gone With The Wind.
Australia never got to see this in colour on TV since we did not get colour TV until 1974.
Not only made No. 1 but kept the Beatles and the stones from No.1. Judith Durham one of the great female voices of the 60s through to 2000s. Also the guy in the middle Bruce Woodley was the unacknowledged co-writer of many Paul Simon hits. He received royalties due but Simon refused to allow his name in song writing credits.
I remember this and Georgie Girl. AB, you need to listen to that song 🎵 ❤
The Carnival is over, Georgie Girl, lots of beautiful music.
Live Judiths voice
Just standing there with her hands on her hips making beautiful music.
Yes, it was No. 1 - in UK, US, and Australia
Great reaction! Absolutely react to Georgy Girl wich was a #1 smash worldwide.
They bring me so much joy i saw them at tge Sydney opera house went back stage and got their autographs i cried the day judith left us i consider her to have the greatest female voice ever
I wish there was more of her to listen to.
Taking me back were I would be watching Johnny Quest cartoons and my Mom's in the kitchen and The Seekers are playing on the radio back to 1964!
The Seekers were bigger than the Beatles and Rolling Stones in their day. Judith was the youngest. YES number one hit.
Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter, Anne Murray, and Linda Ronstadt had some of the most awesomely clear, pure, powerful, distinctively unique voices of the 1960's and 1970's female vocalists! I know there are others, but these are the four who stand out most majestically in my mind.
Karen then Judith and Annie Haslam of 1970's Group:Renaissance.
Check out "Georgy Girl" live performance.
She was actually the youngest in the group
She remained beautiful until the end
Always loved this song. In 1964 I was 4 but I still remember all the words. It was #1 in the UK and reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. Recently subscribed to your channel and love your reactions to the music I grew up with. Two other songs by them that I love are "A World of Our Own" and "Georgy Girl" which was the title song for the 1966 film of the same name starring Lynn Redgrave.
Athol Guy (1940) is the oldest, then Keith Potger (1941), Bruce Woodley (1942) with Judith Durham being the youngest (1943). Keith is the one you thought might have been the youngest.
Another blast from my past. Love it.
Judith Durham was one of the most unique voices of her time. She could sing with the same voice even two years before she died.
That's the year I was born and that's one of my favourite songs of theirs, along with the carnival is over and Georgie girl.
This video and audio was recorded at EMI Studios, 3 Abbey Road, Westminster, London. The Beatles also recorded there during that era.
All on film though. Videotape was too low quality for many years. This is a recreation from 1968 of the 1964 recording session for a filmed Australian TV special.
The carnival is over is a brilliant song by the Seekers
They remind me of the good ol days. ❤
The seekers were a great band grew up listening to the seekers sadly Judith Durham passed away but her voice will remain in the hearts forever, I do have a request for you to react to the song is called I am Australian by the seekers best wishes 🤔
Every single song they ever recorded is fire.
BRO, Speaking of a 100K, you got it!
Congratulations are in order! Listening to your Channel is always a blast because every day is a surprise, and usually it's a good one!
Keepem comin and we'll be listening!
THANK YOU!
Beautiful song, love her voice ❤
This is my Dad's favourite group ✌️ ❤️ 🇬🇧
Yes. Knocked the Beatles and Stones off the top spot. They sold 50 million in 4 years. They performed until 2019. Try “I am Australian” composed by a group member. Many see it as the unofficial Australian national anthem. Judith was recognized as an Australian national treasure. Elton John considers her to have had the most beautiful voice in all of pop-folk music.
"I am Australian" which has become an unofficial anthem here because it encapsulates a lot of our early history.
This song was written by Tom Springfield, brother of the sainted Dusty.
I'll Never find another you was a top #1 and so was Gorgey girl in 1966made top #1
Great reaction as always AB!
They outsold everyone, at one time, Beatles, The Who, The Stones. I am 72 and in The U.S.A. They were and are from Australia and were then and are now, my all time favorite group. They were an absolute one off. Nothing else quite like them and nobody like Judith Durham.
This is so very awesome! Love your reaction!
Heck, they had technicolor filming clear back to the early 1930's, lol. It was a more primitive form though being a 2 color process so that everything was a shade of red or green or combined as a brown, but I know they were using the 3 color process as early as 1939 from films like The Wizard of Oz, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Gone With The Wind. Before that they did have color films but they were tinted frame by frame by hand and weren't very well done, but for what they were working with they were passable.
The other big hit that I know by them is Georgie Girl, and I remember it because it came out in time for me to do a tap dance routine to it when I was little, lol. That and Winchester Cathedral were the two big songs in my dance repertoire!
Love your reactions!
Well found
The seekers were as big as the beetles at that time and this song made number one in most of Europe, Britain and Australia. I think it got to number 2 in the States
A melodic voice. RiP
Such beautiful harmonies throughout their lives . RIP Judith Durham . You should check out I am Australian also by this group .
This was #1 in the UK and I think close to #1 in America. The only other major song of theirs I remember is "Georgy Girl."
This was recorded at Abby Road studio!
💖💖💖
The first full color movie was in 1935, so they had color film in 1964.
Listen to their fair well performance in London singing I am Australian, they had many ,I think almost all their songs hit No 1 in the UK
For another fine song check out :I am Australian. the special farewell concert when they are older.
This hit replaced THE BEATLES as #1 on the charts! It's simple, sweet music, but man do they do it it right!
It's not as old as some viewers. My mum's favourite group as I started secondary school, I pretty much had to learn this and "The Carnival is Over" when learning guitar so she would tolerate my fumblings.
Its hard to believe that Judith Durham had a serious lung disease all her life....RIP Judith
For pity’s sake: I wasn’t born in 1690 but I listen to Charpentier‘s music and I listen to Bach (early 1700s). And I listen to Judy Garland and the Andrew sisters and even Rudy Vallee (1926).
Quit using that excuse - “I wasn’t even born then.” - 1964.
You must react to Georgey Girl. The Seekers.
top five female pop folk singers of all time judith durham
Listen to Georgie Girl, I am Australian, and Waltzing Matilda. I grew
Up LOVING the Seekers.
She sings beautifully and their harmony is nice to listen to. ❤ This has always been one of my fav songs.
The Seekers actually knocked the Beatles off number one position in the UK. Not bad for an Aussie folk band and national treasure.
This music is the feed off the original recording. There is actually a tape splice right after "until my life is through" that kicks in right before the "but".
Judith Durham's voice just reaches out and grabs you. Georgy Girl is their biggest hit. You know music and key in on the best part. Beatles were huge in 1964 until 1970.
I believe this was them reenacting the original session from 1964 for a TV special in about 1968. That's the reason for all the camera work and behind-the-scenes stuff.
The Seekers are another iconic group from the 60's, with many great hits; l would recommend you react to I Am Australian by The Seekers from their Final Farewell Concert 2019.
In 1966, The Seekers recorded Georgy Girl as the title song for the movie of the same name; it became one of the most recognizable and profitable songs for the Australian pop/folk group. It reached No.1 in Australia and the United States, and No.3 in the UK; it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song, but the prize went to Born Free(sung by Matt Monro).
I'll Never Find Another You reached No.1 in the UK and Australia, it was also popular in the United States reaching No.4.
Back then anything from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles & the Supremes could end up a hit in the pop charts , & played on pop radio stations. There were loads if different & diverse sounds to hear in the record charts in the 1960 ‘s .
They have another song called I’m Australian.
May I suggest that you listen to their song "I am Australian", to me (at least) it is their best song.
I cried when I first heard that and,as an Englishman,I always wanted to thrash THe Aussies at Sport but that song is powerful..
A world of our own
Hey!!! And it was in STEREO! Check out the mixing board.
Georgy Girl is another good one!
They knocked the Beatles out of the #1 spot.
Geary Girl was their biggest hit. RIP Judith. Amazing singer and amazing person
The Carnival is Over was a bitter sweet song about the end of time with someone you wtill love
" I am Australian" by the Seekers (suggestion)
The year I was born
Huge band with many big hits 👏
Abby Road studios, same recording place as the Beatles.
The best seller in US was Georgy Girl in 67.
I was a teenager then, and I had a terrible crush on Judith Durham. A young man back then had three channels on TV, and the radio was much more important than it is now.
You gotta try 'I am Australian'
Judith just died about a year ago
