    Listening to the iconic The Seekers today remembering Judith and her powerful and amazing voice as all of the "boys" as she called them have. I most appreciate the way The Seekers always promoted beautiful Australia and its wonders to be appreciated, the way it was. Unfortunately, our Australia is not the same now and even more so by the sad loss of the wonderful talent of Judith Durham.

    This music is the soundtrack of my childhood. Every song is utter joy. The musicianship and the harmonies are excellent, and Judith Durham’s voice... it’s like an angel is kissing my ears. I’ve listened to half a dozen songs tonight and there are happy tears streaming down my face.

    A beautiful song, Bruce Woodley has a lovely voice as well as Judith Durham. They all have fine voices. I have loved the Seekers since I was a young girl in school.

    It's still one of my most favourite songs of The Seekers even though it's not their own song originally. Because they sing this song with their own version is very fascinating and charming indeed, to me.

      Yes, it is Bruce Woodley singing.

    • @timflatus
      @timflatus 2 года назад +2

      I still sing it. It's a Scottish folk song, originally called "O Waly Waly", Cecil Sharp collected it from Somerset. I daresay The Seekers got it from Pete Seeger. It's a beautiful version which I've known since early childhood

  • @rogbrown1965

    Always brings a tear to my eye this beautiful rendition.first saw the seekers( a fleeting glimpse) at Keith potgers wedding in early 1966.saw them in concert in the early 2000s.

    Rich, your work on these videos is just so great, so tasteful, the way you put them together, it's truly beautiful. Your feeling and true love for the music and for the group really shines through. I thank you with all my heart. The only other thing that I must get off my chest here and now is that Keith Potger is my heart throb of all time. That's all, thank you and good evening.

    This track comes from their first LP record studio recording actually in England with this amazing rich orchestral backing of Bobby Richards conductor...that was used with such ethereal arrangement. The original album was called Hide and Seekers..but can now be found included on The Seekers 5 cd box set called the Seekers Complete..

    Judith was playing the role so well, but she was so empty and unfulfilled inside.
    She had to get on with her life in some important key areas.
    Just saw the movie about Judy Garland and I thank God Judith Durham did not resort to drugs and alcohol like she did.
    There is still so much more she can do in the recording studio although she is a long distance away from Abbey Roads Studio.

      I agree Athol and Judith were very close. Just like a big brother taking care of his sister. He was there to assist her at all times.
