The Seekers - Georgy Girl (REACTION) with my wife 

Thank you for your beautiful reaction to one of my all time favourite songs from one of my all time favourite bands. I was born in 1970 but my parents played The Seekers in our house all throughout my childhood, so I grew up with them. To the lady in this reaction video - THANK YOU for acknowledging Judith's beauty, even to the end of her life. Not only was she still a beautiful woman but, from all of those people who knew her, apparently she was a very special, sweet and kind lady who only ever had good things to say about others and always greeted people with her beautiful big smile. She may be now physically gone but thanks to people such as yourself discovering this timeless music, artists like Judith Durham, The Seekers and MANY others will live FOREVER.

Sadly, Judith died a few days ago. The concert at Myer music bowl in Melbourne was attended by about 200,000 people. At the time that was 10% of Melbourne’s population. They knocked the Beatles and the Rolling Stones off the top of the charts in the 60s. You should listen to’When the Carnival is Over’.

This performance still holds the record for attendance at a concert in the southern hemisphere.

Judith has such a pure voice

The venue is the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne (Australia), next to the Yarra River and Royal Botanic Gardens. Great open air venue right in the middle of Melbourne. These guys were huge in the 60s, and as you could tell from the other farewell concert, dearly loved.

As an Australian I am so proud of The Seekers. Judith Durham s voice one of the best ever

I was in jr. high school when this came out, and I listened to it endlessly on my little transistor radio. In fact, all popular radio was AM then. Judith has an unmistakable voice; it's clarity is just timeless. The Seekers were part of the folk music trend of the 1960s, of which Peter Paul & Mary, The Kingston Trio, and Simon & Garfunkel were my favorites. Cheers from Oklahoma, USA!

This is the title song from the 1966 British comedy/drama romance film called "Georgy Girl". The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. You have done 3 songs by them now. Other great hits are "A World Of Our Own", "The Carnival Is Over", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies.

This was a big hit world wide for The Seekers back in the day and was written for the movie Georgy Girl starring Lyn Redgrave. It has always been my favorite Seekers song have it on my driving playlist and I watched the movie again just last week.

I can still see my mom dancing about the kitchen singing into her wooden spoon mic. Wonderful memories. Thanks guys.

My father always used to say that the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. This songs feel reflects the optimism that existed, mixed in with a lot of other feelings, in the post WW2 era.

Thank you. This song has my heart. Georgy Girl is what we call our granddaughter. She was accidentally brain damaged by a hospital and they told us to put her in a home and forget she was born. She would never look at us, see us or eat food. We didn’t listen. Georgy will only ever be 3 years old but she eats and speaks. She is gentle and wonderful, even bossy if her little brother breaks the rules and he listens to her. Georgy is everyone’s light and love. When they sing there’s another Georgy deep inside. We know this is true and she is amazing.

Also, listen to their song, I am Australian. It will tear your heart out it is so beautiful and powerful. The entire country sings it. Many want it to be their national anthem.

This went to #1 around the world propelling the movie Georgy Girl to one of the most popular movies of 1967. And welcome to the Meyer Music Bowl in Melbourne

Rest in peace dear Judith. Your voice will live FOREVER. I am also VERY glad to hear that the State Government have decided to give Ms. Durham a State Funeral, acknowledging her VERY important place in Australian musical history and the VERY special place she held in the hearts of MILLIONS of Australians and also people all around the world.

RIP Judith there won’t be another one like her 😢❤️

Two days ago, the female singer Judith Durham passed away. So sad, two days later Oliver Newton John. Two Australia legends died in one week.

Great song. Definitely sounds 1960s. Great stuff!

The Seekers haha, I loved them as boy of 14 in the sixties. They were very populair in West Europe. They we’re from Australië. I suppose in Poland under Gomulka the Seekers were unknown. There was a Dutch band, The Living Blues, they were in those days very popular. Greetings from the Netherlands,

200.000 people at this concert, went to number one in the US.

As mentioned earlier, this song was the title theme for the movie of the same name; Georgy Girl was filmed around 1965 and starred Lyn Redgrave and James Mason. Georgy was the nickname for the main character, Georgina. The song, and Redgrave, was nominated for an Oscar.

The venue was the Sidney Myer music bowl in Melbourne, Australia on the 12th March 1967 - 200,000 people in attendance. Rest in peace Judith.

What a wonderful song from The Seekers: Georgy Girl! Thanks from old Germany for all the good music all time!

Great song, and Judith is remarkable, then and now. I was very young, but I remember my sister playing the 45 rpm on her phonograph, over and over.

Never have I seen a movie with a more perfect theme song. From the opening titles to the end credits, this magical song tells the story. The lyrics for the end credits are slightly changed (not in the recorded hit version) to fit perfectly. Nominated for a Best Song Oscar (it should have won). The movie was wonderful, but this song is at a level of genius all its own.

She is amazingly beautiful given that she was seriously injured in a car crash in later years.

This was used as the theme for a UK movie called George Girl that starred Lyn Redgrave. remember this was before auto tune made everyone singers. This was natural pure voices.

You guys are adorable, and I ❤ your reactions! 😊

georgy girl was their number one hit they did as the soundtrack and main song for the hit movie of the same name. they are performing it there live in austrailia in front of 200,000 people in 1967

That is on record as the largest outdoor concert in the Southern Hemisphere. 200,000 people, from Melbourne, then a city of 2,000,000.

You are very right about the internet. I was young during the 1960s and have been using the internet as a time machine for the past several years.

love this song. thank you

This brought tears to my eyes. Oh the memories it brought back. My Mum used to love this song xx

Somehow her voice brings tears to the eyes, so powerful, pure and touching. And they were big in especially Australia and UK. When you like this as well as Nightwish, then it shows you appreciate good music.

This was at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne - an open-air concert venue used especially for the Carols By Candlelight Christmas concert. It’s an iconic venue - John Farnham performed there many times at the Carols. The song is about a girl named Georgi - a sort of coming of age song encouraging Georgi to be all that she can be, not be constrained. It was a world wide hit. Isn’t Judith just wonderful? And look at her in her long dress. This was live. How talented the singers and groups back then were - not need for technology, just raw music. Great reaction.

Judith’s voice is amazing! The guys harmonies... Just a great band...🙋‍♀️👏👏👏

RIP Judith. We Sing with 1 voice! You will be missed.

Pure, raw talent;)

You’re right that The Meyer Music Bowl is a type of (in English) ‘amphitheater’. The origin of the word is Ancient Greek and means- both sides. Georgy in this song is just a girl’s name and not a place name. Remembering that the song is an early sixties song and the sixties was an era of the peace and love movement which followed the more conservative fifties. I think the song is basically telling the girl from the fifties era to be a bit less conservative and to let her hair down and wear her heart on her sleeve a bit more.

That was the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. There was estimated to be 200,000 people attending the concert. The area in front of the stage has since been landscaped to develop the amphitheatre which has reduced the capacity to 30,000. We travel down from Sydney every couple of years to see the Christmas concerts there.

and you must hear them sing australias national anthem. judith was always admired for being humble and a classy lady. just like my dear Mum! ❤❤

I enjoy the back and forth between the couple and I believe they made some valid points. I remember standing outside my sister's bedroom door listening to her playing this song on her record player. She noticed me and invited me into her room to listen with her. She was 8 years older than I was, and I looked up to her. Whenever I hear the melody at the beginning of Georgy Girl it immediately takes me back in time, when my sister would share her love of music with me.

This was the theme song to a movie of the same name, called Georgie Girl which became a surprise smash hit, and it won several Oscars. Worth watching

I guess it's just about a girl named Georgy who was very shy and reserved and they are telling her she should be herself and let go. Just show your true self to the world, don't be scared of what someone might say or think, being yourself is the only way to reach your full potential.

Judith a rare talent by virtue of her ability to sing perfectly LIVE.Very few artists can over afull concert-Beatles ,tom jones ,celine dion,and beegees its a short list.

You need to watch “ The Carnival is Over” you will have some tears, but it’s amazing 👍🙋‍♀️🇦🇺

This song was used as a them for a movie in 1966 , George Girl a story about a young lady living in Londons swinging England in the 60s

you are a good team and a lovely couple................

At the time this was the largest audience for a concert in the southern hemisphere

The big crowd you saw was a record 200,000 people, which has not been broken to this day.

Georgy Girl was an Academy Award winning movie. This is the theme song.

This is the theme from the movie, "Georgie Girl". Classic Seekers.

The song was also featured as the title track to the movie "Georgie Girl".

The concert was at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl I'm Melbourne, Australia.

The group made a farewell tour recently and though old and grey are still good. Judith Durham has been very ill but her voice has remained in singing with the others "I am, you are Australian" Why not try it

Always had a soft spot for the Seekers. I was only 14 when this song came out.From the film Georgy girl.It grabs you instantly.For me Judith Durham's golden, rich, vibrant voice is up there with Karen carpenter and Mama Cass of the time.its so full of energy and optimism.. The harmonies on their songs are sublime.Brilliant..Their successors, the New Seekers were decent enough, but pale in comparison .

I think it is at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. Georgy girl was number 1 in front of the Beatles in the Uk back then.

This track was used as the theme for a film of the same name starring Lynn Redgrave

Did you know this song is the theme song for a movie of the same name that was filmed in the UK about a young lady who found it difficult to find acceptance in society because of her size. It turned out well in the end.

This song was popular with my parents at the time. I was just a toddler then and I remember they usually listened to country and easy listening folk rock like Georgy Girl was as far as they would go toward pop. music.

Georgie Girl is a girl in the movie with the same name. Good luck finding it.

George girl was a theme song from a movie in the 60’s.

It’s amazing how music from that time sounds the same live as in the studio, her voice is beautiful. If anyone could share the location of this concert, I am very curious, it looked like many different performers would be there. Love your reactions Dominika and Andrei.

There is 150,000 people at this concert. My heat is broken now that Judith Durham has passed us by.

This song was written for the movie Georgie Girl, they also were nominated for Oscar, the Seekers were the 1 band who knocked the Beetles off number 1

There will never be another Judith Durham. R.I.P.

It's her name, there was a film it was used in too - they're singing this at the Melbourne Music Bowl, Australia.

Very nice reaction.

There were 200,000 people that day.An australia record to this very day!

I remember hearing this song on the radio when I was four, and thinking it was more fun than the other songs on the radio. Then, when I was in my teens I saw the movie on TV which was also fun, but the best part was this title song.

What an amazing concert this was. By the way it was the greatest crowd ever assembled in one place in Australian history. That's official! I could go further and say it was the biggest crowd ever assembled anywhere in the southern hemisphere. By the way, Georgie Girl is the theme song and title song of a movie of the same name from 1967. It was a huge hit in the USA and was nominated for an Oscar in the best song category that year too.

I know I've commented before, but I just love the obvious bond and connection that you both display, its just lovely. I can't remember not knowing this wonderful song. Georgy Girl was very much part of my younger years. Thank you for reacting to it.

Georgy Girl was the theme song from a movie of the same name, which starred Lyn Redgrave as Georgy. It's a wonderful song! The venue was the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne - they do amazing concerts there still.

Have you heard it in Floor's version? Neither have I - or other. But it would be fun.

I remember being a little kid and watching my sisters dance and sing to this. Beautiful memories. Such a different world it seems. Loved my childhood 🎵🥹❤️

This song came out my senior year in HIgh School, and was such a happy song, with a little hidden message for those of us who were yet to really bloom...

A fantastic group. Thank You for sharing and have a wonderful day

you guys need to visit australia....you will love it!

Judith passed away 2 days ago on the 5th August aged 79 yrs,

I believe this was written for the eponymous film?? The clearest voice in the world. (£10. pommy b.)

Georgy is short for Georgina. The song is taken from the film 'Georgy Girl', a very good film with a wonderful cast. Lynn Redgrave was such a good actress, as were the rest of the Redgraves.

Fab reaction guys. Blessing and love from England.

We would call that an 'outdoor theatre'. It would be situated within a park. Off topic a bit, I see that you're Polish. I have some connection, I also have worked on the case of Iwona Wieczorek, if you're familiar with that. Also the case of Magdalena Zuk. I spent much time on these cases and was fortunate to have found the resolution in Iwona's case and evidence in the other case. God Bless you and I look forward to checking your other videos.

Georgy Girl was a movie.

It wasn't a body of water. It is a covering above the stage.

Younger people often don't appreciated just how big The Seekers were way back then, and deservedly so. They are a fine folk group, and then there was Judith -- a light has gone out of the world today.

One of the words you were talking about in Polish is almost the same in English: "Amphitheatre"

Love it! Excellent reaction too.

There was a film georgi girl this song is from that film

Have always loved this song. It seemed to have a similar vibe to it as Downtown

New look for you both, 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😊

Jennifer Lawrence is like Judith Durham's doppelganger.

Oh my, I knew that I knew the song and liked it, I didn’t realize that it came out the year I was born ❤️

try the carnival is over, another cracker. love you guys reactions.

What a loss to the world with Judith's passing. 😢

Georgie is an English girl’s name…who does not dress up pretty but she likes to look in the store windows…there was a movie with Lynn Redgrave…

Music bowl Melbourne. Her voice is amazing

A day after my last post , sadly Australia has lost Judith , passed away 6/8/22

Georgy girl meaning farmer girl.

You guys seem so sweet and genuine. You guys would fit in well here down under, hope to have you one day.
