How The Seekers + Judith Durham took Aussie music global | A World of Their Own | Australian Story

In the 1960s Australian band The Seekers took the world by storm when their first three releases went to the top of the UK charts, knocking the Beatles out of the number one spot along the way. Subscribe: ab.co/3yqPOZ5
Lead singer Judith Durham was the heartbeat of their unique sound, a blend of harmonising voices that saw them become the first Australian band to score a number one hit in the US with the iconic “Georgy Girl”.
In 2019, all four band members - Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger - spoke for the first time to Australian Story about fame and fallout.
Now, following Judith’s death this year, her bandmates and her sister speak about her enduring musical legacy and personal resilience.
