- The Seekers performing Someday,one day at the London Palladium in March 1966.The sound engineer has done a wonderful job here blending Judith's voice in with Bruce,Athol and Keith's voices.Best version of this song I have ever heard.
This presentation at the Palladium has certainly been one of the highest points in their career. Just great.
What a wonderful collaboration between The Seekers and Paul Simon. The Seekers are unbeatable.
Rest in peace Judith God bless you amen,thank you for your beautiful voice of tranquility,💖🌈🌸🙏😘🌹
A match made in Heaven
Wow, I'd never heard this one before. What a great song, beautifully sung as always.
It’s 2020 now & still miss these singers , I’m 81 now...where are they now?
He wrote it for them............I see someone I can be proud of........Simon telling the simple truth
Judith does not have to swallow the microphone to resonate her voice as most of the present day so called singers do. Such a clear well produced sound from this delightful girl, who can play the piano superbly too.
When they sing live, they sound like its a studio recording. Not many acts can do that. Judith's voice rings like a bell. I love them. Since I was a boy till now. I will never forget them.
She seems beautiful at heart, and carries herself with grace and poise
I absolutely love this song. It is one of my very favourites by The Seekers.
Judith has a gorgeous voice. What a gift she was given! All the guys such great musicians and singers. What grace Judith had. Famous but so humble.
Rest in peace Judith.
Just Pure pure Brilliance am lucky to have seen the Seekers live, and I've met Judith, just a gift to us in music
THE SEEKERS💖👸🕺👬🌟🤩
Great!🎼🎵🎹🎸🎻🎤📀👍👏
From Hong Kong🌏🙋♀️💝🌺🥰
Wow! Thank you Judith Durham and The Seekers. Great writing by Paul Simon and boy can these folks harmonize. No question, this is my favorite group.
What a fantastic lady Judith is...and so beautiful.
Sounds as good today as it did then. They are unique in the history of music
Terrific choices!
Judith Durrham could sing a Telephone Book and make it gorgeous.
Respectfully, there is nothing more sexy than a uniquely beautiful lady, who doesn't realize she is beautiful and wondrously talented, along with it. The Seekers are this old man's favorite group, ever, no question.
Thank you. I really appreciate your reply. I remember your name on some great comments, also. At my first access to youtube, you can figure who was my first group to look up and listen to. Being from the U.S., I finally saw them and found out their names. I was HOOKED, all over, again. I don't check them out, or listen much any more. They are still, by far, my favorites, but my children and I suffered a great loss, just over a year ago and, as much as I love them, I have been barely able, emotionally, to listen to some of their songs, because of some memories associated with them. It's getting a little better though. Not to be too long winded, I figure you like pure, accurate and strong, no extraneous frills, voices. If you would, check out Danielle Bradberry, who won The Voice, in the U. S., in 2013. She is no Judith Durham, but I think she has the potential to be one of the best, nowadays. I would say, her rendition of "Born to Fly" is a prime example. Also, my name is Bill Dennis. I am on facebook, in the U. S., Mississippi. If you want, and you subscribe to facebook, you could send me a friend request, and identify yourself as "abberationify" and I will, gladly, accept it. I have a few friends, who like The Seekers, but none are quite as into them as I am. Their loss.
wmden1, abberationify: Make that, also, three old men's group. I am from México and grew up with the music of The Seekers in my ears. Glad to know people like you with the same kind of thinking.
Same here, and thanks for the reply. I know a Julian Pena, who is an engineer where I work and I consider him a friend. I don't know how common that name is, but he is short ant a little bit stocky, and a friend. I am wondering if you might be kin to him.
wmden1: Thank you for your kindly reply. The names Peña and Pena are very common in my country. My name is José Manuel. In México we use the last names of father and mother, thus Morales Peña are like Smith or Jones. You can find me in Facebook with my name. I was born in México City but now settled in a small town near San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. I apologize for my bad english, but I learned it self-taught.
I have no problem, at all, understanding your writing. No apology needed. I thought the name Pena, with the squiggle mark over the n, might be pretty common. I am glad to become acquainted with another fellow Seekers fan from this side of the world. When most of my friends were crazy about The Beatles and Rolling Stones, especially the girls, The Seekers were my favorite, even above The 4 Tops and The Temptations. They haven't lost that top spot yet.
The pure joy of deep listening: The backing orchestral score is exquisitely understated and done with such subtlety as to be barely noticeable.... blending flawlessly. The conductor's head can be seen in long shots as he instructs from the pit the placement of this delicate latticework of beauty and enhancement.
brilliant combination of Paul Simon's songwriting prowess, the Seekers unique harmonies and Judith Durham's astonishingly clear, crisp, pitch perfect vocal and what do you have? Pure pop perfection!
I think of it as folk perfection.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
My goodness these people were great singers. Notice how you see and hear the synchronization and timing of the voices starting at 1:57. And the timber of these male voices against Judith's voice is what gives them their very pleasing sound. Fantastic group. Love it !
Yes, you nailed it (a 1:57) and this as been one of my favorites since I bought the vinyl albums in the 1960's. Thank you RUclips !!!
Judiths voice and the boys harmonies are to die for.
The majority of us are born into immediate and irreversible obscurity.
Some, like The Seekers, will make their mark strongly within their own time and linger in impact a number of generations forward.
Fantastic musicians. Enjoyable all through the years.
The Seekers are awesome! They've only given excellent performances!
Put Judith, Linda Ronstant, and Dolly Parton in a bubble and preserve them for all time.
nah, i would say put Judith and Dame Shirley in the bubble. The others are just Sepos
Phenomenal! I think this was The Seekers greatest hit. I realised it was an amazing song 46 years ago, but it sounds even better today! It invokes some fantastic bittersweet emotions that almost move me to tears.
And would you believe Judith initially disliked this song. She also found it a difficult song to sing.
Such a tiny angel she is. With the voice of a tiny angel :-)
I was 5yo and quite ill for an extended period when this song was on the radio. Was uplifting then, still is in 2019. The Seekers best song, a group that was one of Australia's greatest exports....ever.
I found this song in a Paul Simon songbook in 1971 and could never find a recording of him singing it. I used to play the song on the guitar as a ballad. Imagine my surprise when this setting turned up on youtube 40-some years later as an upbeat version. I couldn't figure out for the longest time why it sounded so familiar! lol
This was the first single I ever bought, and I still love it!
I had practically forgotten this song until last Saturday, 12th May 2018, when Gambo's Pick of the Pops on BBC Radio 2, at 1 PM, brought all those wonderful memories flooding back.
Thank you, Proculled, for this happy upload.
This is what you call real music, brilliant harmonies performing live :)
I've always loved Judith's voice especially, from when I was very young. It's so rich & resonant yet crystal clear!
What a sad day she has gone iam so up set❤❤❤😢❤
In 1963 in Australia! The people who were making the headlines were Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston, president Kennedy, Polly Farmer and the Seekers!
Its the 1960s with the Seekers with visions of the Promised Land. Which is why they were The Seekers, and they were very good. It was " Some Day, One Day ", and " A World Of Our Own ", and, had they also got " Born Free ", then the Promised Land trail would have been way too misty for words.
Never knew that Paul Simon had written this. Cool
Backstage is where they were confronted by Paul Simon and the song written expressly for them. The Bee Gees wrote the song MASSACHUSETTS expressly for them too, but they never found that out until years later BACKSTAGE.
One of my faves from the Seekers. Thanks for posting!
Greatest band on the planet. Ever. Love them always.
This is one of those songs that stands the test of time for any fair minded person. For me personally it's the perfect antidote to Dido's White flag. That's a great song too but it brings back awful memories of when my life was at its lowest point. This song, however, inspires me with hope that things will get better. They're beginning to already. White Flag is the irresistable poison. This is the antidote.
One of the best songwriters and one of the finest close harmony groups... what a great pleasure to listen to this...
Words fail me on how great this song and performance is. Judith is a complete treasure
Would you believe that the Bee Gees wrote Massachusetts for The Seekers a full year after this? The only problem was that The Seekers never found this out until years later. Check out their recording of it later in 2003.
Cheers Phil, Absolute Classic !
Thanks Phil. This is one of my favorite Seekers songs.
I love this song and this group
This song is so good.. it more than compensates for all the bad songs on the net.
How can you lose with Paul Simon and The Seekers together?
There alway's has to be someone to dislike a song ... obviously they can't appreciate a great song and singers
*...that magic moment when Paul Simon comes up to you and says, "Hey man..., I wrote a song especially for you guys... Would you be interested in recording it?..."*
Tom Springfield wrote most of their big hits. What a songwriter he was.
And he dedicated the beautiful song The Olive Tree to Judith( it seems to me he was in love... perhaps not corresponded...). What a partnership, Judith Durham-Tom Springfield...
Perfect!!!!! A great version.
this song brings the hair up on my arms and body!.
This beautiful song represents the dynamic cross pollination that can happen between artists amongst the English speaking peoples of the world.
The Seekers were 4 vibrant vessels of blended sound that various artists wrote expressly for.
The Bee Gees wrote Massachusetts expressly for The Seekers, but their manager turned the song down without ever telling the members of the group anything about it!!!
Judith Durham first found out about it years later!!!
To say that this one song would have endeared this group to American audiences in an exponential way in 1967 would be an understatement!
A flood of songs by American songwriters would have sprung forth in appreciation for this blended dynamism they possessed!
Not to mention that The Seekers should have attended the Oscar ceremony in 1967 to play Georgy Girl and their manager decided they should not break a previous contract. By attending that ceremony they would immediately become known to a huge American audience. What a crucial mistake...
This is just ONE of my Favourite favourites of the one and only Seekers. With Keith's "high", Bruce's "mid" and Athol's "bass" capped of by the amazingly gifted Judith Durham "bel canto", this is a "sonic feast"!!! I made them play it again 4 times! Have to agree with one of the comments who picked up the guys entry at around 1:57 singing in unison (if I'm not mistaken) for about 10-15 seconds before reverting to the "Seeker-sound Harmony"™ to finish off this song in fine order.
There is an early recording of The Stars begin to Fall in which at a certain stage the male voices join Judith singing at the same tone in such an admirably precise way that the listener never forgets. They are not called Seekers for nothing; their purpose in music is reaching the listener soul through beauty, and have done that for 50 years.
what a GREAT SONG!! This band is so Beautiful!!
oh yes, in Belgium we think the same thing
I have such a strong connection to The Seekers, my father loved their music and I was lucky to grow up with their beautiful songs. I am so happy to see these on youtube. THANK YOU!
The Boys sang together in high school and are still singing together. What a high school ! which produced three world class singers, three world class musicians, and the composer of I Am Australian.
They came from Melbourne High School
Indeed. I believe Judith has retired with ongoing health issues, but I read her endorsement for the boys brand new album called "The Original Seekers - Back To Our Roots". It was released only last week (June 2019) and features "songs we were doing back then and songs we wish we were doing". A heavily country feel with some rockabilly influences, all blended with the magic harmonies you'd expect from The Seekers (albeit without the amazing Judith). For those who didn't know, The Seekers were originally a 4 boy band. Judith joined them in late 1962 to replace one of the boys, Ken Ray, who left the group to marry. Check out "Back To Our Roots". Most of the tracks are fresh to RUclips now!
Absolute Magic!!
Paul Simon wrote this. Wow!
An early colour test by I.T.V. I beleve.. However the 1966 World Cup was not in colour.
The first colour broadcast in Britain was on 1st July 1967 on BBC2, and was at the Wimbledon tennis. Hence the World Cup as not in colour as you say. Colour broadcasts by BBC1 and ITV followed later. The London Palladium show was indeed a colour test in 1966 by ITV, but was presumably actually sent out in black and white.
@@christopherappleby8525 Nice to hear from you again Christopher. Yes all corect. But was it correct that the late Tony Benn M.P. delayed the start of Colour Television and that the original intention was for Colour Television was to start on the 405 line B.B.C.2. Service as early as March 1966? Many thanks.
Hey!Pound that Bassonova. Lets pretend its the right thing to do!! Right wingers are right at home/church with this shit.
About this time in 1966, I moved from Atlanta to Chicago...
thank you goddess as usual you were breathtaking, love you xxx
Gorgeous!
Murray, never forget how important you are to me, never let anyone hijack you from my heart!
Brilliant!
I will be with the love of my life someday, one day!
perfection
I met Athol in 1987 when he worked in advertising.
I knew of the band but didn't realize or appreciate who he was then.
I do now.
Americans memorized the names and faces of The Beatles soon enough.
What the manager and promoters of The Seekers failed to fully understand was that the goup needed strong and active promotion in the U.S. INCLUDING TOURING.
Americans fell way short of "appreciating" who The Seekers were due mainly to the fact that they weren't properly and formally introduced to begin with.
One of the ultimate ironies is that Athol Guy had been in advertising for years. Why he didn't push hard for this to happen is an abiding mystery.
I think he was the cute one. Even with the glasses.
Absolutely outstanding
This song gives me hope!
National treasure ☺
All the positive and good comments so far - they are mine too.
My Fav. Aussie Group again!! The Seekers!! Someday one day!
Awesome 😎 some day when you dream it just mite come true,remember one day
Ain't that great?!!
Great job on the audio and video whoever did it and great to hear them sing it live and as good as the studio recording .
love playing songs b4 i was born,, 1968,
להיטים ענקים משנות ה-60 במיוחד להקת המשחרים הגדולים.
I'm seeing them in Cardiff on 28th April. Can't wait :)
Tell us all how the show went.
softclay4thought It was great. I went to it!
God Judith was stunningly beautiful, what a feast for the eyes. The yanks have nothing to compare to her
M, someday, one day we will be together forever! xxx
wow
yeah baby, soooon! xxxxx
Yes M.M. someday! :-)
The 12 string has a capo on the first fret and the 6 string has a capo on the third fret. Can a guitarist explain why the capos wouldn't be on the same fret?
They chose differing chord voiceings using the available open strings the respective capo positions gives them. Makes for a richer sound. They would be using different chord forms but the same key. its also possible one or the other or both are not in standard tuning.
Makes sense. Thanks.
Twelve string guitars are generally tuned a half step lower to avoid undue strain on the neck. You will often see them played with a capo on the first fret to bring them back to normal pitch.
Thanks. Now that you mention it, I think I was told that before and just forgot.
@janmarsh Yes it's a classic.I know it's uploaded elsewhere here but I just had to upload it.This is such a special version of it.The blending of the voices.......
Athol talks like the audience wouldn't have heard of Paul Simon in 1966
Paul Simon was a relative unknown in the UK in 1966.
