So very sad news to hear today.Judith Durham, the singer in The Seekers died yesterday August 5,aged 79.Farewell and thanks for sharing your gift with all of us dear Judith.The songs will always be with us and you will be loved and remembered for ever.Thoughts go to your sister Beverley and family and also to the boys,Bruce,Athol and Keith.
Totally angelic. Look up The Seekers singing "When The Stars Begin To Fall" on RU-vid. You'll hear her effortlessly and flawlessly hit a high note fairly late in the song that'll bring tears to your eyes. Such an incredible voice.
The beauty of this song is beyond words. Anyone who has ever loved and or lost now has this song etched deep into their soul. Every so often there are events that touch us deeply, this masterpiece is clearly among the best.
the music, you loved in the age of 15 will always be on top !! heard it first on pirat radios in the north sea ... love it at the age of 72 best wishes to Bryan ... have a nice day!
Two acoustic guitars. An acoustic bass. And four human voices. Thats all you need to make wonderful music that will outlive all of us. Imagine the simplicity of this concept.
Jeff Bailey "Dig It"...still lost ...somewhere in the 60's what I think of as "My Space" been 50 yrs since I got out Of the mitilary married to the same woman for 43 yrs raised a beautiful family what more is there to "Life Itself??? Sit back, take a deep breath an ask ones self... "TIME"....Where Did you Go...seems like just like Yesterday!!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👌✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️🤗🤗🤗🇺🇸🦅🆒
@@teddanyluk4602 I also am lost in the 60's and 70's. The best music. Military during the whole 80's. When in before Reagan was sworn in as President, came out Bush 41 was President. Still learning stuff I missed during the 80's. I didn't even know Reagan had been shot until many months after the fact.
so long as she stays clear of mind altering drugs skunk weed and ham sandwiches she'll be ok , but yes lovely voice , great era for music, and it freaks me out.
This song wil live for ever . so beautiful. so lovingly superb. I was born little boy in 1966 and i hear the songs from the radio such as this. I loved to hear the beautiful songs I still do.
The year I got drafted into the military Army to be precise. Judith was so beautiful but my mind was on going to Vietnam. I survived and now I am going back in time to the music I loved. How sweet it is. Kevin. 101st Airborne Infantry 68/69 Vietnam.
@@vincentfisher1603 I’m no expert. Just a person who loves music from all decades. Listen to the radio, check Spotify, ask friends, etc. Obviously everyone is going to have different music tastes, but there is tons of new “uplifting” music out there. Check out Green Day’s “Still Breathing”. I would consider it “uplifting”.
@@joehumeas7196 Well, your response was one of an "expert". The Seekers was a group from another time period that I grew up in. I was born in 1955 and have experienced music from many eras (I love the 80s). I know how to use the internet and you can shove your snide remark you know where.
…and it just seems effortless. I am a big Beatles fan, but back around ‘65 Ivwas so disappointed when the focus shifted from Folk and it seemed the Seekers disappeared just as the Beatles took off. I missed them then and now with Judith’s passing I miss them again. I’m a better person when hearing this song.
Any time I hear this song, I weep for all the memories it brings back. It brings me back to a time of youth, hope and optimism for a future yet to come.
Every time I hear the Seekers chills run up my spine. The first time I heard them was in early 1965 as my ship was enroute to Sydney, Australia after spending the better part of a year cruising Oceana; Guam, the Mariana Islands, Bonan Islands, Caroline Islands, north to just south of Adak, Alaska, Midway Island and Japan. I will miss Judith. What an amazingly talented group the Seekers are.
Judith Durham was a very wonderful Singer, she and her group "The Seekers" gave the World several very great songs. R.I.P. Judith Durham, you will be greatly missed.
Judith probably had the greatest voice in the history of popular music. And she just sings. She does not prance around the stage showing off her talent like she is go'd's gift. She had humility in addition to the voice of an angel.
Rita You are so right -- Judith is awesome !!!! I am 85 years old and I could listen to Judith and the other Seekers all day long. Voices are amazing ....
She certainly had an amazing and one of a kind voice. And if people under 50 were to wstch this they would probably ask ehat that guy on the right was doing with/to the gigantic unknown instrument in his hands. I was born in 1950 and I love classic rock n roll, blues rock. folk rock, psychodelic, metal, hard rock and acid rock. I also like jazz, motown, and oldies, and this is most certainly one of the most golden of oldies, imho. Thanks for the post.
@@BertSmithLondon Agreed . . . Judith Durham and Karen Carpenter are the two most amazing female voices of the rock era . . and whoever is in third place is nowhere to be seen.
Ah, yes, you must be referring to highly entertaining and praised stage shows like Beyonce`. Where the only thing missing is that Big Brass Pole to dance up and down on, and a group of men with sullied beer-stained shirts and a fist-full of old and crumpled $1 bills in their hand drooling at the opportunity to stick one under Beyonce`s g-string. What a class act.
RIP Judith , I listen to seekers songs over and over,you have the most beautiful voice and you were fantasy material for male fans all over the world. Fortunately your beautiful voice and face will live forever on RU-vid, CDs, and in higher quality sound on records and cassettes, thank you for the music.
I'm 67 now, a retired bassist. I actually start tearing behind my glasses in the Starbux every time I play this. Why did it have to disappear ! We were all so friendly then, in love with life itself, making peace, playing guitars, patchouli and incense filling the air, The Beatles, Dylan, the Seekers, Pete Seeger, "Red Rubber Ball", "Blowin' in the Wind", love ins, Whole Earth Catalog, VWs, boys' first long hair, bell bottoms. "Georgy Girl" ...Thus, I know now I'll never find another Seekers in this digital web we've spun around us all !!
Mark Harris It was a time of love, Mark. But it was also a time of shedding our Christian underpinnings. That's where it went bad. Once a persons moral way is lost, anything that feels good goes. Unfortunately, we now see the results. That was what our parents were trying to tell us back then. I think ole Mick told them all to fade away. Well, now we got sex, drugs and rock and roll. unfiltered, unbridled, A real lose of love and innocence.
Mark Harris Mark, I am with you man. I can't listen to this wonderful lady's voice without tearing up. She has a birthday next week and I hope a lot of folks will remember her. Certainly the voice of an angel.
Mark Harris Just as I feel. All of the seeds of promise of Peace and Love for each other that some were trying to establish were trampled underfoot in the race to get ahead of our fellowman. SO, SO SAD that they never had a chance to grow. Just trying to keep the 'Cone of Peace' over my family and home.
Mark Harris I too feel the same as everyone else, with thoughts of a long time ago but maybe it is only memories of our youth and the young today will also look back in 50 years time with equally fond memories?
I saw them perform a couple of nights ago in Adelaide for the 50th Anniversary Tour. Absolutely incredible! How is it possible for Judith at 70 to have a voice as good now as in the 1960's ? None better!
Thanks to all of you that come here and watch this wonderful video from times long gone.I know many of you come here to look and listen every night as some of you have told me.It's thanks to you this video has reached 10 million views.Myself,I never get tired of listning to The Seekers Music and love their songs just as much now as I did as a young boy in the 60s.
Since the early 60's, (my early teen years), I have been besotted by Judith's beauty, I suspect I am not alone. Judith's voice is truly unique, yet, when she sings, it's not just her voice, that moves one. She moves ús', by her everything, herself, her love, her joy, her belief. Judith, I, thank you.
Proculled Than you for the great post. This is the most talented group I have ever seen. I have always been a big fan. Recently though The Seekers have tied The Carpenters as my favorite group of all time. For me they both are number one`s. Thank you again for capturing the artistry, talent and greatness.
This has been a very hard week 😪 for the beautiful voices that have been silenced. Australia is mourning with the rest of the world! "For I know I'll never find another you".... GODSPEED, beautiful Judith! Heaven receives two beautiful voices this week!
Judith had, and still has, a pitch-perfect voice whether on record or in live performances, which was and is VERY, VERY rare. Combined with the excellent harmonic abilities of the 3 Blokes, a brilliant band.
A song for the ages. Beyond incredible. Just something about it. Came out when I was 7. Sounds just as good today 55 years later. No laser light show, spotlights or strobes or fog and explosions. Not necessary
Greeting from Malaysia. The success of this group is 95per cent from this female vocalist, not a doubt. Her voice is really that unmatched. The songs she sung will be enjoy for generations to come. Thanks again.
Man the 60`s ` had some of the best vocal groups of all time. This group was very under rated as far as I am concerned. Great Song Love it Glenn Augustyn
Saw Judith interviewed recently and you can see it in her face, when the audience start clapping at the beginning of the song she smiles as if to say "wondered whether I was good enough" You certainly were and still are Judith, you have a unique and beautiful voice...Love The Seekers
I loved this song, Steven died of small Cell lung Cancer in 2015 and it is just a constant reminder how much I live and miss him and the life we shared together. I have the music and the special memories.
what a true and Beautiful voice,i remember watching this video when i was ten years old.Still remember how Beautiful she is and how Beautiful she sings.Thanks for the memories.
Today it's 10 years since I uploaded this video.I only wanted folks around the world to have the possibility to see and listen to some clips from Judith and the boys last concert in the sixties as their farewell concert in 1968 was not available and still isn't.The interest from people was Incredible.A terrible lot of folks in the US wrote and wanted to know about them and at times it was like I was running some sort of fan Club for The Seekers.Well,the videos are still here and have not been deleted and it's thanks to you that love their songs the viwes have reaced over 17 million in 10 years time and comments still flows in here.And by the way,The Seekers know about this video and refer to it on Facebook from time to time.I read some where that Judith loved it had so many views.Thanks to all of you that have kept The Seekers songs in your hearts all these years.Lots of love to you all,Phil
i went to my brothers funeral 4 years back and while listening to different people one of his best friends had said that at one time he could of sang with them and wanted to be a singing preacher at the time.....i didnt realize that....i was so much younger than him.....time goes by so fast....
Proculled When I sing that song , and I do here in Siberia , I aim it at God . The purest love song that was is and always will be ..... Judith . Who loves ya ? We do...
An Absolutely Majestic Classic From These Great Artists. And With The Brilliant Unmistakable Vocals Of Miss Judith Durham At The Helm. They Gave Us So Many Classics. Thank You And God Bless Miss Durham For This And Many More Monumental Memories You And The Guys Have Left For Us All To Enjoy. ❤❤❤❤
Awesome thank you... we used to dance to this song in the '70s when we were kids, playing the records on the radio gram.. when our Mom and Dad went out.awesome memories
In 1966, I met my high school sweetheart. We were married in February of 1970, and have been together ever since. They say “you grow together as one,” and that is certainly true in our case. I know I could never find another love as I have found in my wife. She is not only my wife, but my best friend. Love you sweetheart, we’re coming up on fifty years, and I’m still in love with you.
@@deannagonzalez2754 Thank you Deanna. Unfortunately, my bride passed away October 12th of this year. We did celebrate 50+ years of wonderful marriage together. There’s no comparison to losing a parent to losing a spouse, especially when your spouse is also your best friend.
I know Judith suffered a stroke a year ago, I was sad to hear that. I hope she has come through it all right. I loved this song since I first heard it when I was 10 years or so old. I still do. What an era it was.
This song means a great deal to me. I was in the military from 1967-70 and when this recording came on it reminded me of the one I loved and married in December 1968. Being a soft hearted man with a huge heart brings fond memories of those years. Became involved in Marriage Encounter and this song was their moto. Now, I have had a new wife, the love of my life and my best friend. This Seekers song has a lot to do with my current life, too. You see I met my soulmate (Judith) and love her with all my heart and soul. Yes, we’ve had our ups and downs but she has stayed by my side. Thanks.
I must have watched this rendition 100 times + and every time I find myself astonished as if it were the first ever. Never in music a beautiful lady singer has been capable to make a love declaration so sentimental and convincing in her expression and body language as Judith does between 1:35 and 1:50. I think this rendition has magic in it.
