My personal favorite of that group is "I'll Never Find Another You". Quite a few posts of performances on YouTube, including the unofficial Australian anthem "Waltzing Matilda".

Cool videos on Youtube. Terrible shame.

From the day when songs had a tune you could hum. Now it’s just incomprehensible shrieking.

She had a lovely voice. The Seekers had a very nice sound. But they could never make it in today's open sewer of genetically IQ challenged jungle tribal music.

Judith Durham preferred gospel and jazz to the pop that made her famous. She was the youngest of The Seekers.

The Seekers really did prefer life in Australia.

She might sing lead in the Heavenly Choir.

What a what pleasant surprise for Australians when The Seekers hit the top of the charts. Even a hard rocker like me appreciated their sound. RIP lovely lady.

Very sad. May she RIP. Thank God for blessing her with an exquisite voice and the willingness to share it with the world.

It seems like all the people who made the music I grew up with are dying.

First Johnny Cash, then John Prine, Joe Diffie and now this.

When will the madness stop?

I didn’t know they were Aussies, I had always assumed she was British.

Sad news. Judith was a wonderful singer and the Seekers were a wonderful group. In way she was like Mary Travers. Both ladies brightened a stage like sunshine.

Sigh, A gifted and beautiful woman from my youth. The heavenly choir has found their soloist.

When “pop” music was actually music and understandable lyrics...RIP...

RIP, loved that song and the movie. But that’s one of those movies that never seems to be on TV, does anyone know why?

She trained for operatic singing. She quit the group at the height of their popularity cause she felt like she was too fat. She didn’t have time to grow into her popularity.
Some of her recordings as seen on YouTube exhibit her incredibly superb voice. Just great.
Try....Colors of My life, the Carnival is Over, What a Morning, Danny Boy, or the sweetly naive optimistic Come the Day. She arguably had the best pop voice...the range, easy transitions, strength, clarity, never goes off note...lovely...
Her husband died of a neurogenic disease.

Dittoes on “Another You” - Durham was just wonderful; she made that group.

Another of my favorites is the Seekers doing “I am Australian”, which I think only became a thing once they were past the peak of their early popularity. If you’ve ever known any Aussies - particularly those who were raised in Oz before it became a disarmed woketocarcy - you’ll be moved by the song, which at least to me typifies the national pride of a hard-working, hard-playing free-spirited people who were not ashamed of their roots, and still had fond feelings for new immigrants as well as the original inhabitants.

Beautiful voice.

My dad loved that song “Georgy Girl.” It was played a lot when we lived in Italy, so hearing it always takes me back to those idyllic days.

R.I.P., Judith.
