After being a fan of The Seekers for over 50 years, the passing of Judith has not only been a very sad event in my life and many others, but has also suddenly made me very aware of my own advancing age and mortality. Judith's long adventure through this life is now over and she's at last reunited with Ron in her eternal life, while I still have a few steps left to go on my own journey. Bon Voyage Judith and thanks for all the wonderful music and memories!!
I feel exactly the same Les.. I loved her voice..it was so full of clarity..I was born in 59 but I knew the Seekers songs as my older sisters were fans so I kind of grew up with their music..I'm in tears watching this lovely tribute..and like you I also have been contemplating my own demise..
I think that a lot too about the mortality & all since most music and film I'm into is 50 years old or more. But I kept a positive head and not going to quit living just yet. Their music is still with us and will outlive us as well for newer generations to enjoy.
This is so sad. But her life, as difficult as it was at times, was a blessing. We were all lucky to have decades with her in our lives. She was one of a kind. I will never forget her. Australia gave the world a magnificent gift.
She poured everything out on stage every single performance right into her 70s, all while managing a lung condition since she was a child. A true one off. R.I.P Judith.
And multiple losses over the years including: her parents in the 1970s; almost all her money in the 1974 collapse of her Swiss bank; her husband in 1994. Plus the 1990 car accident near Melbourne that badly injured her and killed the teenage girl in the other car, and the 2013 brain hemorrhage that forced her to re-learn basic life skills but didn't affect her voice.
@@smwca123 Thanks for the news. I have never heard of these tragic events in Durham's life. I thought she had such a wonderful life. Unfortunately, such news did not reach Poland. I have The Seekers two CDs with their best songs and I listen to it a lot. Regards Tom
As a child of the 60s I grew up listening to the Seekers, and loved all their songs. Judith is and probably always will be, the greatest female voice to ever come out of Australia. Her vocal range was like no other, and her voice was so pure, that you could hear every word so easily. You never had to guess the lyrics with Judith's singing. A true God given talent, that not many in the music industry actually have, especially over the last 2 decades. Vale Judith. Thank you for sharing your amazing voice with the world. Condolences to her family and the Seekers.
SHE WAS NOT AS GOOD AS OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN! HERS WAS THE PUREST, , MORE BELL-LIKE IN TONE, AND HER OCTAVE RANGE WAS HIGHER! CLEAREST, SHE HAD THE MOST ANGELIC VOICE GOD EVER BESTOWED THE GIFT OF SINGING UPON!
@@stephaniestavropoulos1639 Each to their own. But many in the industry itself would beg to differ. Judith had a vocal range that surpasses ONJ in how many notes she could sing and her ability to not only sing each note, but hold the note as well. She was pitch perfect as this vid will prove ruclips.net/video/U3UeaUAEB-E/видео.html. But I am not here to argue with you on this point,. You can believe if you want that ONJ had the most angelic voice, and I am allowed to disagree. Sad that you had to come onto a post and video tribute about Judith Durham dying to give your opinion that you think ONJ is a better singer. I consider that incredibly tacky. But you obviously are an ONJ fan who felt the need to state your case on a tribute to Judith vid. Me on the other hand, I wouldn't even think of going on a vid of a tribute to ONJ to state I think that Judith was a way better singer and why I thought so. It's called having some decorum.
@@stephaniestavropoulos1639 how dare you compare at a time like this If you want to rage at a time like this. Go and find some peace Nobody is in competition at a time like this Wake up to yourself
Rest in peace Judith Durham. The voice of the Sixties, many generations, and proud Australian lady. Grew up listening to the Seekers in my youth. The first song in my younger days, l used to sing was Morningtown Ride. Always sang to my siblings to get them to sleep. The voice of an angel, once heard never forgotten. And never will be. Deepest condolences to the family, the Seekers & all Australians on this sad day. To politely mis quote a famous song. There never will be, another you. God bless and keep you Judith. Thank you for the songs and the memories. Respect. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Morningtown Ride was always one of my Seekers favorites, too. Judith & the boys just made it perfect. And when I hear that song, I always give a little mental credit to its author, Malvina Reynolds. Fred
I'd like to say just one equal. Judy Collins. Both good eggs. Pure voices. I was dreading the day Judith dies. Now it's happened, hard to hold back the tears.
So sad to hear of the death of the lovely Judith Durham. From my early teens I was in awe of her beautiful voice and her ability to entertain so naturally. If I had been given the chance to meet a very special lady, it would have been Judith. My thanks to her family and friends for the joy she brought to my life. May eternal happiness be hers. 🙏💐
Judith thank you for being a part of my life for 63 years, before The Seekers. I will miss you so much but your music will carry me on. You are now at peace but we are all devastated at losing you but knew the day was coming. You've been a fighter all your life overcoming obstacles that many of us would not have been able to overcome. I love you Judith, a big hole has been left in my heart.
It's a little late to tell thank you, and i don't think she will have a lap top where she is going, let alone wanting to come on here to read posts. Do you honestly think they have internet connection in heaven ? Come on.. !
I agree with everything you said. What a remarkable human being she was, even aside from her incredible voice. RIP dear sweet angel, I love you forever 🕊🕊🕊❤️❤️❤️
Loved her singing first, but as I learned more about her in the late 60’s until today I respected her even more and I had tears hearing of her death. RIP Judith
I love her!!! And I have loved The Seekers since the first time I heard them in the 60's and will continue to listen to their songs. I'll never find another you being my favorite. Thank you for all you have been to me
I just turned 70 last Tuesday and have been a Seekers fan since the beginning; I just love their music Judith had a magnificent voice and seemed like a lovely lady . My condolences to her family and band mates, She is now reunited with her husband Ron for all eternity and sings for the angels. RIP Judith. You will be greatly missed
So many special memories. I grew up in a house where my mother loved the Seekers & scraped the money together to buy a few 45s & play them on the old stereogram. On the other side of the world in London, my best friends father was doing the same. When they announced the first reunion tour, I got good seats & took my Mum. The joy on her face is something I will never forget. She died a few months later. That best friend from London, ended up in Australia, & we too went to the ever expanding reunion tour, also in Sydney. We have now been married over 25 years. Judiths death is like losing a loved one, but the music & that special memory of my Mum, will last forever.
What a great loss to all of us who have appreciated Judith and the Seekers for 50 years. There won’t be another voice like hers, and certainly not anyone with her spirit. From a yank who has loved these folks.
I was a fan of hers here in the US for well over 50 years. The music of Judith and the Seekers was a true blessing and as I’m getting up in years I’m comforted by their music. God Bless.
Like many others I was so sad to hear Judith has died, I would like to send my condolences to Judith’s family at this sad time.Judith’s voice was such a joy to listen to along with the the other members their music is a legacy that will continue to be played. God Bless.💕🇬🇧
How lucky are we that we can still listen to most beautiful voice ever? R.I.P. Judith Durham. You will never be forgotten. Love to her family, the boys from The Seekers and all her fans. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Mom bought one of the Seeker's albums in the 1960s. The album features a picture of the Seeker's on the front of it with Judith sitting across a bench and fellow Seekers members surrounding her. Judith reminds me of my Mom and vice versa. Both Mom and Judith are 5'2'' and both were relly into music and religion and were about the same age, and both were great people.. Lucky to still have the Seekers album and record today. Ironically, both Mom and Judith died in 2022. RIP to both Mom and Judith.
Judith and The Seekers saved my sanity with Shores of Avalon when I was having real mental problems dealing with my wife of nearly sixty years who is suffering from vascular dementia. Thanks for a great life and beautiful songs.
I so enjoyed her music. I sang Hey There Georgie Girl a capella in a Jr. High Variety Show in the late 60's. One of my lifeling favorite songs. God wrap her family in His wings.
God this hurts so very much! Judith was just so special, a one in a trillion voice, a one is a trillion person. A voice of an Angel, i must say in her younger years a positively evil figure, a stunningly beautiful face, and a pure heart. How is it possible for a woman i never met to have such an influence on my life? Her humility, courage, kindness, joy in all things makes me strive to be a better person. Millions adored her, and rightly so, as for me, Judith i have only love in my heart for you, i can only hope that you are with your beloved Ron, teaching Angels how to sing. Thank you Rich, even through your own grief you seek to help the rest of us with your posts.
She most certainly was a national treasure. Anyone who grew up listening to the Seekers, remembers her distinct and unique voice, instantly recognisable. RIP Judith, the heavens have just received another Angel.
Get ready for more than a few tears. For Keith, Athol and Bruce it will just as hard as for her sister and blood family. It will even be tough for us watching at home on TV. Thanks for all the joy.
So very sad. My Mum and Dad had all the Seekers records back in the day and l grew up to Judith's wonderful voice. l still play the songs today. May she RIP.
Such sad news. She was a beautiful singer. I was privileged to see them on their 50th Anniversary Tour a few years ago. Thanks for the great tribute, Rich. R.I.P., dear Judith.
What a blessing it was for you to see them on their 50th Anniversary Tour! Im in the US and though i knew their first few songs, they did not tour here like they did in the UK/Aus. But I did find them....better late than never. I found them when i needed them most. The Seekers helped me through the deepest hurt of my life. Brought me joy when I thought there would never be any again. They instantly became my #1 Group and Judith, my #1 Female Singer of the world. Her goodness and charaties made her even bigger than life. Her "giving" in her latter years put me in mind of Audrey Hepburn. The Carnival is Over but the Lights of the STAR are still shining. Shine on sweet Judith. You are so loved! Your fan from the US. RIP dear one.
Thank you, Judith Durham for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. The Seekers music was part background soundtrack to my once young life. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.
Here I am, 79 in September and always loved her. All my famous and loved peers who were at the forefront of the exciting times of pop/rock/ country are leaving us and I feel my own mortality slipping by with every ailment I endure .Life is so precious and Judith was a wonderful singer and it seems those that knew her loved her. I am very tearful. My childhood sweetheart has just passed. She too 79. .
As a Black child of the 60's in America, I listened to Ms. Judith's signing. I loved her angelic, clear voice and spiritual singing. Her beautiful voice (and The New Seekers) reached so many people around the world. She is truly missed.
My mother introduced me to the Seekers music when I was a little girl and I had the good fortune to see the Seekers in their reunion concert what a lovely lady! RIP Judith 💚
So saddened to hear that Judith had passed away, her legacy & wonderful voice will stay in my heart forever. I grew up listening to & loving The Seekers music, thank you for the memories. A truly remarkable woman with the most amazing voice ever.
The beauty of Judith Durham's voice was revealed to so few of us in America. I feel fortunate to be a part of those few Americans who have experienced the wonder of her voice, one of the greatest of the 20th Century. RIP Judith, The Carnival Is Over, and what a ride. I will continue to listen to your music and love you till I die.
She had the gifted voice of an angel and seemed like a kind, spiritual person. Her music remains a fitting tribute to her offerings to all of us. God bless, Judith!
My condolences to the family and to the fellow Seekers. Her lovely voice was truly angelic. She might be gone but her legacies remained with us. May her soul rest in peace.
Rest in Peace beautiful lady. My condolences to family and close friends. I consider it an honour and privilege to have spent time with her and listened to that enchanting voice. Her gospel contribution was a strong witness to all.🙏♥
For the many years l've been around, Judith's passing has had the most emotional effect on me....saw the sad news around 4:30 CDT USA, and have since been in shock and basicly at a loss for words! Rest in peace, dear one, there will never be another like you.
Another little bit of my happy life growing up in the heart of America during the 60s is gone. Thank you dear Angel for all those kind songs and more importantly, the memories your song brings. RIP, Judy💜🙏✝️
I cried when I heard this. What a strong part of my much younger years and memories of listening to her and the band on our little AM transistor radio's at the beach. She will always live on in so many hearts.
I am a huge fan of Judith and the guys. Her music always resonated with me, especially Georgy Girl. Everytime I hear her beautiful voice now, since we heard the sad news, I have a good cry. She was an amazing singer and a beautiful soul.
When my beloved wife passed away from ALS in May 2021, the one song that explained of the love I had for her was "I'll Never Find Another You" . Every word in it reminds me of how much I miss her. Judith's voice carried those words right into my heart. At her celebration of life, the lyrics "I'll Never Find Another You" were printed on the program. Thank you Judith and the Seekers for bringing such a beautiful song of enduring love into my life.
Judith is now with the Angels in Heaven teaching them to sing properly. R.I.P Judith. You brought Colours to my Life. Thank you Geoff Sandford, Wigan UK
You enriched all our lives Judith. Thank you for the music and for your love for all. I wish I had been able to see you live. Your humility encourages me to keep believing that their is hope for mankind. My heart goes out to Bruce, Keith and Atholl.
This news makes me very sad. I always admired you because you were a beautiful artist and an excellent singer and virtuoso pianist. Australians will be proud of you, because you were a wonderful ambassador for Australia Thank you very much Judith for your beautiful songs, your angelic voice and your eternal smile that will continue to accompany me for the rest of my life. You will always live in our hearts. Rest in peace Judith.
"Don't be sad that it's over; be glad that it happened." In Judith's case, it's more like, heartbroken that it's over; filled with infinite joy that it happened. I don't think I can imagine a world where we would have been without Judith & The Seekers. Or if I can, I really don't want to. We finish at least 60 years richer for her presence. Thanks, rich963, for posting these tributes! And some day we'll all see her on The Far Shore... Fred
For me Judith was the greatest musical talent that ever came out of Australia , the Seekers were just a part of her music career, the jazz music she did with her husband was outstanding, I grew up listening to her and had a teenage crush on her, she continued sharing her great love of music till the end. RIP
What a blessing to be a teen when you all hit the scene. We loved you Judith and were loved by you. As a team you taught us to love hope and dream. All those years of song were special because you made it so. Huge loss, sadly missed, grateful for the memories. Auckland, New Zealand
As is an epitaph for another famous Carpenter (Karen), "A star on earth, a star in heaven", surely could be said as well for the lovely, classy, and gorgeous Judith Durham.
I was a young kid growing up in Britain in the 60's & 70's and I thought Judith was the most beautiful woman in the world. With her perfect voice, smiling face, and 1960's haircut I thought she was wonderful. As the years rolled by and I grew up my tastes changed, but Judith remained unchanged in my mind.... radiant, and with the voice of an angel. Listening to her songs even now whisks me back to my simpler, happier world, especially "Morning town Ride", the perfect lullaby. Sleep well dear lady ❤️
Marylin Horne says you can tell a great singing voice if it "goes to the ear." Judith's voice grabs your attention and holds it with that pure tone whatever the song. Goodbye, Judith Durham, with much love to a beautiful person and a remarkable artist.
My, oh my! I opened RUclips tonight looking for something to show why the glorious Waxing Crescent Moon of 8/6/22 in Omaha was so awe-inspiring and brilliant. 🌗🌗 Instead, I found this heart-breaking news that Judith Durham, so loved by tens of millions around the globe passed away the evening of Friday, August 5, 2022 at the age of 79. 💔💔 Thank you Rich, for advancing my education of The Seekers over the past 8 months, and now being the one to first tell me of the death of our beautiful Judith. With her declining health, this is not a surprise, but losing loved ones is always a shock. My wife and I extend our deepest condolences to Beverley (who looks just like her litte sis), Graham, Athol, Keith, Bruce, and all of her family, friends, and fans. My eyes are as red as they were when the first of The Moody Blues, Ray Thomas died in January of 2018. 😢😢 Dearest Judith will soon be in the New World of which she often sang. God will surely bless and protect beloved Vale Judith Durham the way He always has. 🙏🙏 The world just lost one of the most talented, kind, charming, humble, and beautiful souls that ever graced our planet. 💖💖🎶🎶
What a loss.Judith was an incredible person with an angelic voice which I found very soothing. My condolences to her family and friends. Robert Frost former South African now settled in the U.K.
I love Judith. Always will for eternity. Love her best friends,(The Seekers).& family. And all the beautiful singing and beautiful words and beautiful Voice 💘😍 Forever for Eternity 😻💕. Thank you Judith for being you. Being yourself. And keep singing words of life and love 💕😘
I always thought the group to be boring in the early 60s. I was a young lad, maybe 9/10 years of age, and my sisters were playing the Beatles and others. Some 20 years ago, I was browsing the Internet music, and thought to look out music from my days as a mere stripling. The music from this group came up and I listened with fresh ears. I was entranced by the harmonies and the cohesion of the group. Always part of my playlists and awakening buried good memories, always have this group and her wonderful voice been played at the head of my lists. R.I.P. beautiful lady...
Hey Rich -- the wings of this singular Australian songbird have been stilled ... which is why it is all the more important that the work that you and others continue so that her memory will be forever in our hearts. RIP, Judith Durham.
I still remember hearing "Georgie Girl" for the first time and thinking I can't wait for the next song. I just knew her voice was so special, rich and pure. I was just listening to "You Tube" being nostalgic and found out about her passing. She will be missed and fondly remembered
RIP Dear Judith Durham transitioned to eternal life never seeking again and surrounded in eternal bliss!! Tears coupled with dumbfounded feelings resonate with our childhood joys of singing your beautiful evergreen hits straight from your heart which will forever be cherished!!
So sad to hear of Judith's passing. Her angelic voice was pure and beautiful. Condolences to her family and friends and to the rest of the band. She will be forever in our memories. Thank you for your wonderful music.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the FAMILY of Judith Durham my condolences she was an inspiration to us all and can i say Loved by us all. i grew up listening to all the Seekers Music which was fantastic. i loved her so much god bless you Judith. RIP.
Judith. Rest In Peace. I have loved your voice since the first time I heard it in the 1960’s It was unchanged when I last heard you sing a few short years ago. Your love of singing made you luminescent. Love to you, to your sister and to the SEEKERS.
With the passing of Judith, part of our youthful memories die too. Now that the carnival is over, we know that we'll never find another Judith. Thank you for the good times you gave us, Judith Girl.
This is very sad news, Judith was one of the best throughout her musical career, an inspiration to all, such a wonderful loved person, RIP your songs will never be forgotten.
Judith, when you first came into music, the world changed for the better... and now that you're gone, we know it will never be the same again! God be with you !
RIP Judith Duirham. We have lost a beautiful person and singer, but heaven has been made richer with another angel and her angelic voice. Long may she live on here on earth with her music and fellow members of the Seekers.
Watching this has brought tears to my eyes. I have loved Judith and the Seekers from way back in the 60's. lots of famous people have died in that time since then but only Judith's death has broken my heart. R.I.P Sweet angel. 💔
A beautiful sound from a beautiful soul, Heaven is having a performance now with God as her witness and fan. Judith will live in our hearts and her voice will never be lost. Peace to her Seekers family.

Never has a person been so deserved of a state funeral.

her voice alone inspired so many of us to try to sing (tho never remotely as well as her, unless you also happen to be an extreme prodigy....)
I'm shedding 😢 I'm 70, so I grew up with their music. Judith's voice was pure.
Not just an Australian icon..A world icon.. Lovely little gal with the big beautiful voice 💕

So many special memories. I grew up in a house where my mother loved the Seekers & scraped the money together to buy a few 45s & play them on the old stereogram.
On the other side of the world in London, my best friends father was doing the same. When they announced the first reunion tour, I got good seats & took my Mum.
The joy on her face is something I will never forget. She died a few months later. That best friend from London, ended up in Australia, & we too went to the ever expanding reunion tour, also in Sydney. We have now been married over 25 years.

How lucky are we that we can still listen to most beautiful voice ever? R.I.P. Judith Durham. You will never be forgotten. Love to her family, the boys from The Seekers and all her fans. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My Mom bought one of the Seeker's albums in the 1960s. The album features a picture of the Seeker's on the front of it with Judith sitting across a bench and fellow Seekers members surrounding her. Judith reminds me of my Mom and vice versa. Both Mom and Judith are 5'2'' and both were relly into music and religion and were about the same age, and both were great people.. Lucky to still have the Seekers album and record today. Ironically, both Mom and Judith died in 2022. RIP to both Mom and Judith.
Still listen to her music to this day, RIP Judith. 60's Icon.
Judith and The Seekers saved my sanity with Shores of Avalon when I was having real mental problems dealing with my wife of nearly sixty years who is suffering from vascular dementia. Thanks for a great life and beautiful songs.
I so enjoyed her music. I sang Hey There Georgie Girl a capella in a Jr. High Variety Show in the late 60's. One of my lifeling favorite songs.
God wrap her family in His wings.
God this hurts so very much! Judith was just so special, a one in a trillion voice, a one is a trillion person. A voice of an Angel, i must say in her younger years a positively evil figure, a stunningly beautiful face, and a pure heart. How is it possible for a woman i never met to have such an influence on my life? Her humility, courage, kindness, joy in all things makes me strive to be a better person. Millions adored her, and rightly so, as for me, Judith i have only love in my heart for you, i can only hope that you are with your beloved Ron, teaching Angels how to sing.
Thank you Rich, even through your own grief you seek to help the rest of us with your posts.
"evil figure"?
@@donabel1273 that figure could've tempted Jesus! Judith was WOW!
She most certainly was a national treasure. Anyone who grew up listening to the Seekers, remembers her distinct and unique voice, instantly recognisable. RIP Judith, the heavens have just received another Angel.
Get ready for more than a few tears. For Keith, Athol and Bruce it will just as hard as for her sister and blood family. It will even be tough for us watching at home on TV. Thanks for all the joy.
Aussies are awesome in the first place. Her singing was GREAT. They all were.
So very sad. My Mum and Dad had all the Seekers records back in the day and l grew up to Judith's wonderful voice. l still play the songs today. May she RIP.
Such sad news. She was a beautiful singer. I was privileged to see them on their 50th Anniversary Tour a few years ago. Thanks for the great tribute, Rich. R.I.P., dear Judith.
What a blessing it was for you to see them on their 50th Anniversary Tour! Im in the US and though i knew their first few songs, they did not tour here like they did in the UK/Aus. But I did find them....better late than never. I found them when i needed them most. The Seekers helped me through the deepest hurt of my life. Brought me joy when I thought there would never be any again. They instantly became my #1 Group and Judith, my #1 Female Singer of the world. Her goodness and charaties made her even bigger than life. Her "giving" in her latter years put me in mind of Audrey Hepburn. The Carnival is Over but the Lights of the STAR are still shining. Shine on sweet Judith. You are so loved! Your fan from the US. RIP dear one.
"I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU".
MY FAVORITE SONG.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
GOD BLESS, GOD SPEED. 😢
R I P 🌻🌷🕇🙏🙇💒🌻🌷
Thank you, Judith Durham for doing your part to help tame mankind with your gift and talent. The Seekers music was part background soundtrack to my once young life. In the meantime, I'll keep the music playing.
Here I am, 79 in September and always loved her. All my famous and loved peers who were at the forefront of the exciting times of pop/rock/ country are leaving us and I feel my own mortality slipping by with every ailment I endure .Life is so precious and Judith was a wonderful singer and it seems those that knew her loved her. I am very tearful. My childhood sweetheart has just passed. She too 79. .
As a Black child of the 60's in America, I listened to Ms. Judith's signing. I loved her angelic, clear voice and spiritual singing. Her beautiful voice (and The New Seekers) reached so many people around the world. She is truly missed.
Forgive me...correction...The Seekers not The New Seekers
Yes I agree there is something ethereal about her voice
we have to thank God for giving us a wonderful woman like Judith, she gave us her all and along with her great personality we are the ones blessed
She definitely was a gift from God. Completely agree!
This woman was the product of one of God's finest efforts. Her angelic voice was one of a kind. Indeed Judith, there will never be another you.
My mother introduced me to the Seekers music when I was a little girl and I had the good fortune to see the Seekers in their reunion concert what a lovely lady! RIP Judith 💚
So saddened to hear that Judith had passed away, her legacy & wonderful voice will stay in my heart forever. I grew up listening to & loving The Seekers music, thank you for the memories. A truly remarkable woman with the most amazing voice ever.
The closing of this video shows the amazing feat of her voice never failing her. What an amazing singer and human being.
The beauty of Judith Durham's voice was revealed to so few of us in America. I feel fortunate to be a part of those few Americans who have experienced the wonder of her voice, one of the greatest of the 20th Century. RIP Judith, The Carnival Is Over, and what a ride. I will continue to listen to your music and love you till I die.
She had the gifted voice of an angel and seemed like a kind, spiritual person. Her music remains a fitting tribute to her offerings to all of us. God bless, Judith!
RIP Judith. Voice of an Angel. I know the Pearly Gates will be open for you.
My condolences to the family and to the fellow Seekers. Her lovely voice was truly angelic. She might be gone but her legacies remained with us. May her soul rest in peace.
Rest in Peace beautiful lady. My condolences to family and close friends. I consider it an honour and privilege to have spent time with her and listened to that enchanting voice. Her gospel contribution was a strong witness to all.🙏♥
I join countless thousands in appreciation for this gift that was offered to us. Thank you Judith. Thank you Seekers.
Thank you for your beautiful presence in the world.
For the many years l've been around, Judith's passing has had the most emotional effect on me....saw the sad news around 4:30 CDT USA, and have since been in shock and basicly at a loss for words! Rest in peace, dear one, there will never be another like you.
Her death hit me about like the passing of Elvis. The Carnival is Over is a song that almost always makes me tear up.
Another little bit of my happy life growing up in the heart of America during the 60s is gone. Thank you dear Angel for all those kind songs and more importantly, the memories your song brings. RIP, Judy💜🙏✝️
One of the greatest voices to ever grace us. No one will ever replace this voice.
What an absolutely angelic voice and beautiful person she was behind her beautiful voice. Rest in paradise Judith
What a legacy Judith leaves, her voice will never fade....Vale Judith Durham
I cried when I heard this. What a strong part of my much younger years and memories of listening to her and the band on our little AM transistor radio's at the beach. She will always live on in so many hearts.
I did as well. I'm still crying now...
Yes, someone is cutting onions again..
Rest in peace my friend
I am a huge fan of Judith and the guys. Her music always resonated with me, especially Georgy Girl. Everytime I hear her beautiful voice now, since we heard the sad news, I have a good cry. She was an amazing singer and a beautiful soul.
When my beloved wife passed away from ALS in May 2021, the one song that explained of the love I had for her was "I'll Never Find Another You" . Every word in it reminds me of how much I miss her. Judith's voice carried those words right into my heart. At her celebration of life, the lyrics "I'll Never Find Another You" were printed on the program. Thank you Judith and the Seekers for bringing such a beautiful song of enduring love into my life.
Judith is now with the Angels in Heaven teaching them to sing properly. R.I.P Judith. You brought Colours to my Life. Thank you

You enriched all our lives Judith. Thank you for the music and for your love for all. I wish I had been able to see you live.
Your humility encourages me to keep believing that their is hope for mankind.
My heart goes out to Bruce, Keith and Atholl.
This news makes me very sad. I always admired you because you were a beautiful artist and an excellent singer and virtuoso pianist.
Australians will be proud of you, because you were a wonderful ambassador for Australia
Thank you very much Judith for your beautiful songs, your angelic voice and your eternal smile that will continue to accompany me for the rest of my life. You will always live in our hearts. Rest in peace Judith.
"Don't be sad that it's over; be glad that it happened."
In Judith's case, it's more like, heartbroken that it's over; filled with infinite joy that it happened.
I don't think I can imagine a world where we would have been without Judith & The Seekers. Or if I can, I really don't want to. We finish at least 60 years richer for her presence.
Thanks, rich963, for posting these tributes! And some day we'll all see her on The Far Shore...

For me Judith was the greatest musical talent that ever came out of Australia , the Seekers were just a part of her music career, the jazz music she did with her husband was outstanding, I grew up listening to her and had a teenage crush on her, she continued sharing her great love of music till the end. RIP
What a blessing to be a teen when you all hit the scene. We loved you Judith and were loved by you.
As a team you taught us to love hope and dream.
All those years of song were special because you made it so.
Huge loss, sadly missed, grateful for the memories.
Auckland, New Zealand
This news is heartbreaking, we are all so much the better for all the joy her music brought us.
Very well said! 🌸
As is an epitaph for another famous Carpenter (Karen), "A star on earth, a star in heaven", surely could be said as well for the lovely, classy, and gorgeous Judith Durham.
I was a young kid growing up in Britain in the 60's & 70's and I thought Judith was the most beautiful woman in the world. With her perfect voice, smiling face, and 1960's haircut I thought she was wonderful.
As the years rolled by and I grew up my tastes changed, but Judith remained unchanged in my mind.... radiant, and with the voice of an angel.
Listening to her songs even now whisks me back to my simpler, happier world, especially "Morning town Ride", the perfect lullaby.
Sleep well dear lady ❤️
I am privileged to have followed her and the boys since 1963. Her talent, her humility, her independence.. she was everything good about Australia.
We will always love and appreciate the beauty brought into our lives by your angelic voice. See you on the other side of life, God has blessed you.
Marylin Horne says you can tell a great singing voice if it "goes to the ear." Judith's voice grabs your attention and holds it with that pure tone whatever the song. Goodbye, Judith Durham, with much love to a beautiful person and a remarkable artist.
Beautiful voice will be singing with the Angels RIP
My, oh my! I opened RUclips tonight looking for something to show why the glorious Waxing Crescent Moon of 8/6/22 in Omaha was so awe-inspiring and brilliant. 🌗🌗 Instead, I found this heart-breaking news that Judith Durham, so loved by tens of millions around the globe passed away the evening of Friday, August 5, 2022 at the age of 79. 💔💔 Thank you Rich, for advancing my education of The Seekers over the past 8 months, and now being the one to first tell me of the death of our beautiful Judith. With her declining health, this is not a surprise, but losing loved ones is always a shock. My wife and I extend our deepest condolences to Beverley (who looks just like her litte sis), Graham, Athol, Keith, Bruce, and all of her family, friends, and fans. My eyes are as red as they were when the first of The Moody Blues, Ray Thomas died in January of 2018. 😢😢 Dearest Judith will soon be in the New World of which she often sang. God will surely bless and protect beloved Vale Judith Durham the way He always has. 🙏🙏 The world just lost one of the most talented, kind, charming, humble, and beautiful souls that ever graced our planet. 💖💖🎶🎶
What a loss.Judith was an incredible person with an angelic voice which I found very soothing. My condolences to her family and friends. Robert Frost former South African now settled in the U.K.
Such a beautiful voice, heart. She will be so missed. RIP sweet Judith 🙏🥲
By far one of the most beautiful female singers of all time. Her songs will be around forever. I'm sure in Heaven she will be loved.
I love Judith. Always will for eternity. Love her best friends,(The Seekers).& family. And all the beautiful singing and beautiful words and beautiful Voice 💘😍 Forever for Eternity 😻💕. Thank you Judith for being you. Being yourself. And keep singing words of life and love 💕😘
I always thought the group to be boring in the early 60s.
I was a young lad, maybe 9/10 years of age, and my sisters were playing the Beatles and others.
Some 20 years ago, I was browsing the Internet music, and thought to look out music from my days as a mere stripling. The music from this group came up and I listened with fresh ears. I was entranced by the harmonies and the cohesion of the group. Always part of my playlists and awakening buried good memories, always have this group and her wonderful voice been played at the head of my lists. R.I.P. beautiful lady...
Now dear Judith is walking real close with her Lord and Saviour. Singing in heaven. Loved her.
Hey Rich -- the wings of this singular Australian songbird have been stilled ... which is why it is all the more important that the work that you and others continue so that her memory will be forever in our hearts. RIP, Judith Durham.
I still remember hearing "Georgie Girl" for the first time and thinking I can't wait for the next song. I just knew her voice was so special, rich and pure. I was just listening to "You Tube" being nostalgic and found out about her passing. She will be missed and fondly remembered
RIP Dear Judith Durham transitioned to eternal life never seeking again and surrounded in eternal bliss!! Tears coupled with dumbfounded feelings resonate with our childhood joys of singing your beautiful evergreen hits straight from your heart which will forever be cherished!!
Priveledged to meet her in a Nambour sewing machine store, such a humble person with the voice of an Angel..May she rest in peace.
So sad to hear of Judith's passing. Her angelic voice was pure and beautiful. Condolences to her family and friends and to the rest of the band. She will be forever in our memories. Thank you for your wonderful music.
This is really sad. Great singer and bright personality. Loved her singing “Just a Closer Walk With Thee”.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the FAMILY of Judith Durham my condolences she was an inspiration to us all and can i say Loved by us all.
i grew up listening to all the Seekers Music which was fantastic.
i loved her so much god bless you Judith. RIP.
Beautiful lady, beautiful voice, her talent will live on forever.
RIP Judith! Thank you for the years of music and entertainment. We’ll never find another you! 😔 🙏
Judith. Rest In Peace. I have loved your voice since the first time I heard it in the 1960’s It was unchanged when I last heard you sing a few short years ago. Your love of singing made you luminescent. Love to you, to your sister and to the SEEKERS.
I absolutely agree. Such a wonderful voice all of my adult life and I am now aged 75.
God bless you Judith! I am 62 and have loved your angelic voice since I was a teen! Sing with the Angels now...
With the passing of Judith, part of our youthful memories die too. Now that the carnival is over, we know that we'll never find another Judith. Thank you for the good times you gave us, Judith Girl.
Every tribute you receive is so well earned. R I P Judith and thank you.
We will miss you, Judith.
All our love 💘 ❤ 💕 ♥ from the USA 🇺🇸.

Such a special voice and a beautiful lady. R.I.P Judith
This is very sad news, Judith was one of the best throughout her musical career, an inspiration to all, such a wonderful loved person, RIP your songs will never be forgotten.
Judith, when you first came into music, the world changed for the better... and now that you're gone, we know it will never be the same again! God be with you !
RIP Judith, your voice warmed the world
RIP Judith Duirham. We have lost a beautiful person and singer, but heaven has been made richer with another angel and her angelic voice. Long may she live on here on earth with her music and fellow members of the Seekers.
Watching this has brought tears to my eyes. I have loved Judith and the Seekers from way back in the 60's. lots of famous people have died in that time since then but only Judith's death has broken my heart. R.I.P Sweet angel. 💔
A beautiful sound from a beautiful soul, Heaven is having a performance now with God as her witness and fan. Judith will live in our hearts and her voice will never be lost. Peace to her Seekers family.
