Fantastic cover of the Buddy Holly classic. Judith’s voice and the harmonies with the rest of the Seekers were excellent. You are sorely missed Judith R.I.P. 🙏
The Seekers were class entertainers.Judith's voice was like icing on the cake.I've been enjoying their music since 1966 and still do .I truly miss Judith and may she rest in peace.
Is there any song they can't sing ? I'm completely in awe of this woman and The Seekers and have been a fan since the early 1960's . In some respects she reminds me of Linda Ronstadt , with her powerful voice , talent , grace , and a voice that is so clear & distinct
A really great group from a time when music was still beautiful. Judith's voice was truly amazing and an absolute pleasure to listen to. I loved this group when they first came out and as they matured.
A voice like a bell of gold. As well as clarity and control, she conveys powerful emotion. They all meld together in a quiet, understated way. RIP Judith.
+Phillip Marcum Most women singers with a voice similar to Judith's, seem to get all quavery with age - too much vibrato. Judith's is still as strong as ever.
There are people out there who'll "thumbs down" something just because they are contrary, sour and enjoy disrespecting things they have neither the talent nor the imagination to create themselves.
A wonderful voice, a great band. I'm 73 now. And I was in love with her in my teens. Shucks, still am a little bit. We loved them here in England, and I'm sure the rest of the world did.
Flawless. And don't you just love how Judith 'lives' the song, so full of restless, almost mischievous, girlish buoyancy as she sings and pauses to jig along to the instrumental passages. Everything that can be said about her truly lovely voice has been said - what an absolute treasure she is - and the boys.
I know you can fall in love with a lady, but untill now i did not know that you could fall in love with a voice :). Gorgeous, brilliant, perfect. R.I.P. dear Judith.
I was in High School when the Seekers came along. They were a Once in a lifetime breath of Fresh Air. Judith had the voice of an Angel, and the Guys harmonized with her perfectly, both vocally and instrumentality.
For as long as I can remember I have been a total Buddy Holly fan. But finally I have a version of this song that is its equal. Thanks Judith and Boys.
David Taylor There is one person. Jeanette Macdonald. Her top C is the best i have heard. To be found in "Wanting you" From new moon. Singing with Nelson Eddy. From C down to A. The two best notes sung ever!!
This is such a brilliant rendition. I'm always entranced by Judith's amazing voice. God truly blessed us by allowing us the privilege of hearing her sing :0)
Love this band. Judith's voice is amazing, sounding the same as when she was a teenager. Great to see the band performed for so long. Aussies sure have staying power.
My Nan and Grandad loved The Seekers in the 60's and they didn't 'do pop' being born in 1901 & 1900 respectively. However, they saw something pleasing in the music of The Seekers.
Linda Rostandt and Judith Durham. The best natural singers in the world. No extra makeup, no fancy or almost not dresses, no special musical arrangements. Just them. And as a bonus they were and still are beautiful.
When i was 14/15 i found this song and i literally fell in love for it. I Loved Judith's voice, the entire video, the lyrics and the harmony, the good vibes the song gives to you. The seekers were among the bands who helped me to discover a lot of music, a lot of artist from the past who never gets old. Thanks Judith and may your soul see the eternal light❤️
Judith is absolutely amazing. To come back from such a serious life changing car accident and still be so angelic is a true miracle. Long live the Seekers!
Miss Durham has one of the enduring voices of folk/rock and the Seekers will be remembered for the blend of their brilliant harmonies and the wonderful music of the musicians. Kudoos to you in this fabulous group! We (your fans worldwide) love you! StocktonRob
Just be aware the Seekers are very addictive, once you start listening you will keep returning, learning & enjoying these people from my 1960s Melbourne, never met them but know the senses & the environment they came from, folk music scene of early 60s & early Melbourne coffee shops.
Wow, now there's a blast from the past that sounds as fresh now as it did "back in the day"! Judith Durham is a treasure, and her pipes have held up phenomenally well, as has she! Deeply impressed!
Its difficult to find a suitable adjective to describe Judith Durham: even superlatives such as amazing and sensational seem totally inadequate. Quite simply, she is in a class of her own and I wish this lovely lady good health & happiness.
A great cover, of a great song, written by a Canadian, Paul Anka. May Buddy Holly, Judith Durham and Jerry Allison (Buddy Holly's drummer) rest in peace. Cheers! ✌️🙏🕊️
@Barbara T I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could not do anything to change the situation so I felt helpless..This song reminds me of her.
I wonder if Linda doing a cover had any influence on her doing it also. The Seekers are completely in the background here and she is the focal point, more so than in other videos and performances. It also struck me that her expression was more one of determination than the usual gentle happy expression she usually had when she sung.
You obviously have never listened to Linda Ronstadt PROPERLY !! .She is the Gold standard.I'm a Melbourne boy, i love the Seekers but Judith Durham just could not do what Ronstadt could do.
@@anthonyarmstrong14 Linda Ronstadt is around how long???...Judith could sell out any venue and everyone remembers her voice...I think she's gone past 50 years as a pro, I rate Linda Ronstadt as a typical American folk singer...Sorry shes not in the same ball park, but we are all entitled to our opinions...
@@jimbradley9775 Ronstadt lost her voice due to parkinsons disease s.She made 31 Albums and sang as a guest or backing on an estimated 120 other albums.Like i said you havent listened to her,i'm tipping like most people here,you know a few songs and thats it. Ronstadts last Album was Cajun,have you listened to her Mexican Mariachi Albums,which by the way is her heritage.If not i suggest you do,because Judith Durham couldn't do it period.
An amazing lady with a unique voice. I was lucky enough to see Judy at her South Bank concert in London on her sixtieth birthday. All four had such talent.
I've been listening to Judith Durham's music for many years. Always liked her singing. She is one of my favorites. I remember her from in the 60's (I'm old now...). Very talented and very pretty.
It's only in the past couple of years that I have reconnected with The Seekers and boy have I missed out. It's not just The Seekers but it's other musical favourites of mine that I haven't heard for years. Just wish music could be made like this again instead of all the rubbish that's out there,maybe I'm getting too old(57)!
Sadly the lovely Judith passed away just a few days ago. The world is a better place because she lived in it for a while, she filled so many hearts with joy.
Listening in August 2024!!
Thank you for your voice..

Good cover, just not as good as Buddy Holly.
One of the greatest covers. I love this version.
Great cover , may you rest in peace 🙏..
Actually, the song was written by Paul Anka and released by Buddy Holly in 1959, one month before his death.

As a 65-year-old, this woman’s voice resonates like wind chimes. Her voice is simply a wonderful instrument of joy.

There is no way that you could mistake that voice.
The best female voice ever and what a humble lady she was RIP Judith Durham.
A really great group from a time when music was still beautiful. Judith's voice was truly amazing and an absolute pleasure to listen to. I loved this group when they first came out and as they matured.
I'm 75 and never have I lacked for beautiful music whether it was the 60s or this decade. The fault isn't the music or musicians but the listener.
Of course music is STILL beautiful.
Music is still beautiful if you know where to find it.
One of the best groups in any genre there ever was.
A voice like a bell of gold. As well as clarity and control, she conveys powerful emotion. They all meld together in a quiet, understated way. RIP Judith.
In my life time two best voices are Judith & Roy Orbison.
Its just a miracle that she's the only one who's hair didn't turn gray.
Some don't my Mom was 87 when she passed.. no gray hair.
She was simply beautiful.. a gift to the world.
The finest female singer of my lifetime and I am 67 Rip Judith
I’m not sure if Karen Carpenter was better or not but she certainly belongs in the conversation.
@@bunpeishiratori5849Judith has the edge on carpenter
And mama cass gorgeous voice.
Agreed
Unbelievable how well Judith's voice has stood the test of time.
+Phillip Marcum Most women singers with a voice similar to Judith's, seem to get all quavery with age - too much vibrato. Judith's is still as strong as ever.
Havent heard her sing lately but even in her 70s she's still got it
+Phillip Marcum She was ONLY 55 when this was recorded.
I'm Phillip Marcum
Everyone still loves Judith. I certainly do.
The most underrated quartet....
She still has a great voice how can 220 people give this a thumbs down.
220 people need to go and see their doctor for some help.
Well, up : downvote ratio (currently 7195 : 223) is better than 32 : 1, so I wouldn't be too concerned over a few clueless indviduals.

I'm only 57 and I'm in love with her (Won't tell the other half though)!
We all were , i sang i'll never find another you in an elementary school talent show .
She came last to the group, but she was the seekers. God bless her.
The voice of any century - flawless and beautiful. One of the few clips i have seen of Judith wearing pants.
No politics, no crude lyrics, just great music!!!!
I've fallen in and out of love since 1965, but I never fell out of love with Judith Durham. She's the one constant love in my life.
Absolutely beautiful voice and performance. She is as great as ever. One rare natural talent.
Judith is still a class act

The Seekers and The Carpenters what beauty.
My thought exactly. And don't forget Patsy Cline. Haunting
The Seekers succeeded in retaining their flair and uniqueness over decades. An amazing group with an amazing story.
I agree wiTh👆😄❤️💘👆👆👆 you
...and every member is an original member! You don't see that too often.

For as long as I can remember I have been a total Buddy Holly fan. But finally I have a version of this song that is its equal. Thanks Judith and Boys.
Another great version ( my favorite by a sliver) is Linda Ronstadt's . Give it a shot. It is slower and more soulful
Love you Judith.There is no female singer in the world that can come close to this beautiful voice and personality.
A perfect description of Judith and her purity of heart and intentions !
David Taylor
There is one person.
Jeanette Macdonald.
Her top C is the best i have heard.
To be found in "Wanting you"
From new moon.
Singing with Nelson Eddy.
From C down to A.
The two best notes sung ever!!
Well said !!!!
And the bra still supports her assets well.
Close to agreeing with you, 2nd on my list next to Linda Ronstadt
Absolutely superb. I've only ever heard Buddy sing this, but the Seekers absolutely nailed it👏👏👏👏
Yes i do 🍄🍄🍄😢😢🍀🌟🌟
Linda Ronstadt also released an excellent rendition in 1974. 👍😏
Similar to Ronstadt's version is an excellent rendition by Eva Cassidy.
Paul Anka had the original version.
Linda Ronstadt
This is such a brilliant rendition. I'm always entranced by Judith's amazing voice. God truly blessed us by allowing us the privilege of hearing her sing :0)
I don't think an imaginary god had anything to do with it. All the credit belongs to her.
She was blessed with such a beautiful melodic voice and understated natural attractiveness. Beautiful.
Amazing! She's still the greatest voice ever.
RIP, Judy😢 Thank you for Everything.
Love this band. Judith's voice is amazing, sounding the same as when she was a teenager. Great to see the band performed for so long. Aussies sure have staying power.

For me and those who likes real songs and music is all thumbs up.a big one.
Beautiful, beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Magnificent voice. Great band .
Linda Rostandt and Judith Durham. The best natural singers in the world.
No extra makeup, no fancy or almost not dresses, no special musical arrangements. Just them.
And as a bonus they were and still are beautiful.
Just so...

@@georgebronte840
The three of them did a nice session, together.
I should have qualified that, George.
In the recording it was Dolly Parton as the third - but Judith Durham could have made it four!
As the years went by her voice became more melodic. So enjoyful to listen to them. Even today they still bring joy.
Wow, she still has a great voice - she's amazing, they all are. What a great group. And to think I only JUST discovered them today.
What a great voice. Very few can sing like this , those who are making a fortune and cannot sing.
The voice of an angel.
One of the greatest musical groups to grace our planet.
What a beautiful voice.
