I was 13 at the time and loved the song even then. It still puts tears in my eyes listening right now. It's one of the best pop love songs ever written, the musical accompaniment is top-notch, and Judith Durham's crystalline pure voice is amazing. Very emotional song.
Big fan here. No doubt about her talent. I do believe the writer is missing just one thing. It’s the image she presents as the little sister to 3 brothers that are very protective of her. Protective in a way that would let her thrive. Look at the bass player-Athol Guy. He had the look of a big crazy that wouldn’t let any harm come to his siblings. That was the warmth I saw in the group.
Judith was living proof that there is a God.
She had a great voice. I didnt know was the leader.
Iconic in Australia. National heroes.
Judith loved gospel songs.
Seekers’ Bruce Woodley song ‘I Am Australian’ is like a second national anthem.
Some very entertaining videos of them out there, including from the very early coffeehouse days.
I liked Morning Town Ride. I always had a crush on her.
I love Judith and the Seekers. Mark Steyn wrote a great piece about Georgy Girl wherein he describes how they performed for free in exchange for passage on the ship which took them to England to procure their 1st break.
What an exciting time when you could hear their songs for free on the radio. Today’s muzak...not so much.
I liked them back then when the songs were new.
I’ve linked to a song or two by them 2 or 3 times here.
Love the song, “Come the Day”...
When her voice soars as she sings the words “Faar-arr away”..
No variation in pitch as she climbs the volume ladder. She also looks so sincere and exuberant...sweetheart...
When she sings,” what a Morning, and toward the end of the song her voice goes up 2 or 3 or 4 octaves when she sings “...what a morning” and her voice comes down smoothly...great vocal control...
Love, “Colours of my life”...
Bringsback memories of a quite different time. Thanks for the reminder, one needed else all is lost.
Thank you very much.
