The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. They had so many great hits including "A World Of Our Own", "Georgy Girl", "The Carnival Is Over", "Morningtown Ride", "I'll Never Find Another You", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies. They don't make nostalgic music like this anymore. Reminds me of a simpler time.

[@MrSmartAlec]

Judith Durham is one of the great voices of our time. She is still performing at age 79.

[@eddierousseau]

Also a great Jazz singer

[@finallythere100]

And delightful watching this man enjoying this so! Downtown next!

[@jeepy8067]

Sadly she just passed away August 5th 2022 😢

[@76ludlow]

Rest in peace Judith Durham. What a voice she had. So dearly missed. This late 1960s live outdoor performance from their native Australia still holds the record of having been before the biggest audience ever gathered together anywhere in the southern hemisphere! Just amazing.

[@johnbattles1002]

Judith Durham was lovely inside and out, and still is at 79! Her vocal range, enunciation, purity and power of her lyrical skills were amazing! And, yes, before you even said Peter, Paul & Mary, I was thinking Peter, Paul, and Mary!

[@cinemaipswich4636]

My heart is truly broken that Judith Durham has passed us by. Her wonderful voice will live long in my heart. This is a live concert in front of 200,000 people. I will love her voice till I die.

[@lingoman1]

Both groups are in the Folk category. That's what you picked up on.

[@flash1660]

Judith has one of the all time great voices

[@behinddreaming]

Lovely reaction - enthusiastic. Been listening to some other reactors who covered "I am Australian". Reminded me that a song dear to my heart was their song.

[@gxl5892]

One of the first great songs I remember listening to the car radio as a6 yr old in 1966!!!!! Thanks for the great reaction!

[@chainsawkillers]

This is from a concert at the Sydney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne in 1967. More than 200,000 people attended and it is to date the largest concert crowd in the Southern Hemisphere. There would have been more people, but the roadways were so completely jammed people couldn't get near the concert.

[@rickandersen2284]

Or Mamas and Papas?

[@JamesJohnson-ig6of]

STAN, my favorite Reactor: A couple months ago, my local PBS TV station did a live folk presentation including Peter, Paul & Mary; The Seekers; Barry McGuire's "Eve of Destruction", which I like to bang out on guitar, and many others. THANK YOU!

[@Engelhafen]

Even their Kumba Ya is moving

[@shadetreemech290]

You are not the first to compare them to PP&M . See Harri. (Harry)

[@TheLyds01]

I am Australian is another good one. Akin to an anthem for us Aussies

[@edjasper92]

I can understand the comparison to Peter, Paul, and Mary. PP&M were a little more folksy. The Seekers were more Pop. IMO.

[@TheRedDevilYTOfficial]

Amazing video as always my awesome friend! You are so talented Life With Stan! Keep up the amazing work! I'm looking forward to seeing you react to the reaction video I made to you reacting to Pentatonix - Sound of Silence for the first time! That is if you want to of course! And could you please react to Pentatonix - Can You Feel the Love Tonight?

[@blakesliberator3197]

_Amazing_ reaction! For the record, "Georgy Girl" is the name of an English 1966 movie, which begins and ends with this song. It refers to the main character; _Georgina Parkin._ BL

[@sigxxxx]

That's the way I always felt about the two groups. Beautiful 60's Folk Music.

[@tomharrison6607]

yes a little bit like peter paul and mary the seekers even do a couple of their songs lemon tree and puff the magic dragon

[@Ray1969.]

Wow! I totally forgot how much I like this song.. great reaction Stan! I have 2 more great tracks for you. Elton John- Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6iUZWV5lreCeZI and The Cranberries- Zombie kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYjJi52Mac5lhM0 Enjoy brother!!

[@nicholastullett5653]

Listen to the carnival is over by the seekers

[@dee-smart]

I knew that you'd say Peter, Paul and Mary. EVERYONE says that. They were around being famous at the same time. That song made The Seekers famous worldwide as it was a song that was used in a big movie of the time. They were borderline pop but mainly folk singers.

[@David-kf5gk]

Love this song. Reminds me in Jr high with the girls.🌴✌️

[@patrussell8917]

Notice of the clear diction of the group Different to today's singers

[@blakesliberator3197]

I agree. The Seekers do resemble _Peter, Paul, and Mary_ a bit. Also, yes, The Seekers are Australian. BL

[@rinaflynn3358]

Funny you should mention Peter, Paul and Mary comparing them to the Seekers. BOTH the Seekers and Peter, Paul and Mary sang 500 miles. Listen to both versions and compare. The tempo of Peter, Paul and Mary' s version is slower. The vocals of Judith Durham in the Seekers version is spellbinding. It is my alltime favourite Seekers song.

[@gregorypalmer6218]

Just watched ur post m8 love the seekers the same as u bruv just Durham has got a killer voice have you heard them doing the carnival is over I think that is their best song Love from England XXX XXXXXXXXX

[@daviddunkerley7198]

I grew up on The Seekers music. Love all their music. RIP our beautiful Judith.

[@mikeyates7931]

Amen 🙏 ✝️🙏

[@gregorypalmer6218]

Ps.she passed away on 5th of August this year

[@cl4re4d4ms]

There is a Georgy Girl film too.

[@jolenewitzel7919]

Haven't heard this in a loooooong time. Thanks.

[@joecrone9862]

love it!

[@Steve52344]

Their harmonic blend is fabulous. Super talented ensemble.

[@OJB42]

I'm not really a folk/pop fan but I always liked the Seekers. Now I am revisiting them after Judith's recent death.

[@capriced22]

It's funny you said Peter, Paul, and Mary. In one concert that I watched on line, Judith was telling the story about a fan asking her about Puff the Magic Dragon. She told the fan, that they didn't do that song, then they sang it in the concert.

[@Engelhafen]

Judith is a goddess

[@RobB-vz2vo]

That was at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne with an estimated 200,000 people in the audience.

[@kathrynkissane5144]

RIP Judith

[@northnsouth6813]

Tom Springfield Dusty's brother, who had written "I'll Never Find Another You", composed the music and Jim Dale (English actor, composer, director, narrator, singer and songwriter) supplied the lyrics.

[@joanneharper9090]

I only recently learned that Jim Dale wrote the lyrics. I met him when he was doing Barnum on Broadway. Georgy Girl was done for the movie of the same name.

[@stingray4real]

The song was a soundtrack from the movie Georgy Girl. The movie starred Lynn Redgrave from the famous acting dynasty and James Mason.

[@bernbee1679]

Yes the same era, Peter Paul and Mary and also The Mamas and Papas. Georgie Girl was a movie of the same names title song

[@douglassellers7528]

Try I Am Australia. Just a fabulous song.

[@Engelhafen]

Love your reactions lol

[@Davey_bfg71]

Hope you’re not too fed up of seeing me in the comments bro but may I suggest you check out one of the best live performances you’re likely to see from a band from my youth, Queen and their absolute stellar live performance of Somebody To Love recorded live in Montreal in 1981! Stunning!

[@Lifewithstan2020]

Always great to see you in the comments

[@daviddempsey8721]

Judith Durham, sadly, passed away last Friday 8th August. The end of an era. The Seekers are Australian. Their farewell performance of “I am Australian” is moving. Her crystal clear words and vibrato were hallmarks. The Seekers, along with Peter Paul and Mary etc were the music of my youth. They went to the UK for a short engagement and were booked out for ages. Georgie Girl was the title song for a film of the same name and rose to No 1 in Australia and New Zealand, No3 in UK and No2 in USA. A number of their songs sound happy on the surface but have an undercurrent of sadness, as this one has. More so for Judith’s death.

[@robertsullivan887]

There were 200000 people at that concert. 10% of Melbourne. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest outdoor gathering in the Southern Hemisphere.

[@billyboy4774]

LOVED THE SEEKERS. JUDITH DURHAM HAD A GREAT VOICE. "COLOURS OF MY LIFE", "A WORLD OF OUR OWN", "I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU", SOME OF MY FAVORITES. GREAT HARMONIES, TOO. THANK YOU. BILLY BOY

[@beaumontmuni4294]

Yep ... they sound like Peter, Paul and Mary ... and yes they are from Australia ... I listened to them in the 60s as a kid.

[@johnwallace4797]

Whoa, Judith...The pop she had...Two feet from the mic and still blowing the innards out of it!

[@Mark-iv7np]

You mentioned they reminded you of Peter Paul and Mary. Hmmm never crossed my mind I heard both great groups back then but I see the similarities. Good conclusion. I see it myself thanks to you. Singers and great songs don't make it difficult for me to say the 60s were my favorite decade for music. If possible can you react to Good Lovin' or Groovin by the Rascals a great group late 60s.

[@famat161]

If you're ready for another, try out their "I am Australian".

[@jasonbaxter7458]

Listen to 500 Miles,Its different but Stunning

[@stefannils2032]

I get it Peter Paul and Mary folk music all brilliant

[@richtensail]

bye judith, thanks 4 ur presence

[@robertsullivan887]

More like the Chad Mitchell Trio without a female lead.

[@meoldfartus]

Check them doing I am Australia
