Just read that Judith died - this makes the song all the more poignant. Her voice was and still is clear as a bell. RIP, Judith, we will never find another you.

Exactly how was that done?

[@janmarsh]

Rest in peace dearest Judith. The last chance I got to see The Seekers live was their 2014 Liverpool performance. What really hit home with me was finally seeing Judith's diminutive physical stature live on stage. Such a delicate, tiny little morsel of humanity, showing the strength and determination to continue on with a farewell tour after all she had been through .... That alone left me spellbound.

[@markmiwurdz202]

Judith Durham AO 3rd July 1943 - 5th August 2022. Thank you and the boys in the band for all of your music. Such a special voice. Just read a quote "We know we'll never find another you". May you Rest In Peace ma'am.

[@motherofcatsnz]

@@riinak7212 I have this disease too after a bad lung infection after flu. The breathing tubes called bronchi in the lungs have been damaged, enlarged and scarred - primarily due to infection. These damaged air passages allow bacteria and mucus to build up and pool in your lungs. This results in frequent infections and blockages of the airways. It is not pleasant.

One thing I just was compelled to mention. Fil, you had the grace to allow the beautiful performance to play through without stop. The "flavor" of her voice is quite reflective of singers from that generation. We the Boomers, have mothers that always seemed to have that gift. What a lovely legacy of style to hold true in all music for all times. Cheers man.

Fil is prone to play most videos through. I agree.

[@brendarodgers5686]

I've always disliked this song until now. It's beautiful. Joe Feeney always ruined it when he sang it on Lawrence Welk. The song does lend itself to a female voice rather than a gut busting Irish tenor.

[@blackletter2591]

There aren't many singers who can perform this song so creditably, but Judith delivers in spades, as always. It's like the living air loves her voice.

[@Prismatic_Truth]

Judith is one of the top female vocalists of my lifetime. Her voice has such a pure, crystalline quality, yet is also very powerful. I never tire of her beautiful tone. I always thought she sounded pitch-perfect, & the graph seems to bear that out.🥰

[@kayedavis1032]

Thank you for spotlighting Judith Durham, my favorite vocalist ever. It's a shame that Americans had such restricted exposure to The Seekers back in the 60s, mostly due to their manager's lack of promotion. They've been my favorite group for nearly 60 years. Even their 50th Anniversary Reunion concerts were incredible, with many saying they sounded even BETTER than they had in the 60s!

[@gn2932]

I agree completely. I'm an 89 year old American that has heard them all, and I believe that the Seekers are the best, in large part because of Judith's voice. May she rest in peace.

[@bonniejay5500]

I learned that she passed the day after it happened last August. I'm still mourning the loss of that incredible voice. I'm so glad I have all the Seekers albums from the very beginning. She died of a lung problem that she had for years and years. Very sad.

Such a beautifully polished voice, open throated and consistent through the whole range. I love to hear a singer who sings through the consonants. The emotion and meaning is all there in the phrasing and attention to the way the words flow with the music. Breaks your heart without any excessive gestures or exaggeration, the art of a truly fine singer.

Very well put …

[@manuelahrasky8472]

I am watching this, with misty eyes, in Melbourne, Judith's hometown, a few days after her death. I grew up listening to this beautiful, angelic voice, a voice all the more remarkable when one knows she suffered from a chronic lung disease (bronchiectasis) from childhood. Thank you for your sensitive and informative analysis. Watching this today, there is an added poignancy because we heard the sad news of the death of another Aussie (albeit born in England) singer, Olivia Newton-John, whose voice you have also analysed in another brilliant video. Thank you for these wonderful insights and analyses.

[@dariennepohatu6719]

Manuel Hrasky...Agreed Judith's pure and soaring vocals will be sadly missed. What a sad week that Australia has lost two of their: beautiful, exquisite, unforgettable and irreplaceable music legends. RIL and peace Judith and Olivia.

I can't listen to any of Judith's songs without misty eyes. The memories her voice evokes are priceless.

Her voice is so beautiful to listen to. I believe the key to her vocal range is that she did not smoke or drank alcohol. She and the group The Seekers, Should be in the RRHOF. RIP Judith, Truly one of the best female vocalist of the 60's and up to her passing.

Judith didn’t even know how good she was - so humble - when she sang everything stopped - time included - If she pushed her career would have been one of the best ever - RIP

[@terryjohinke8065]

Judith Durham was our National Treasure. the Seekers actually pipped the Beatles and the Sones in 1969 with " Georgy Girl". She was magnifient. My Dad would have tears listening to " The Carnival is Over". Not bad for a bunch of Aussies wgo had to work their way on a Fairstar ship to get to England. Sadly, Judith passed last year. What a voice. They were all good. BTW I taught guy Athol how to string his Gibson 12 string- another story. Nice to see a youngster like you recognising elderly talent Fil. She was still perfect in her last performances.

If Karen Carpenter was the female voice of the '70s, Durham was surely the voice of the '60s. So unique and wonderful.

It’s so incredibly rare to find an artist who is basically pitch perfect throughout their entire range, and that is so pleasant to hear by itself. But combine that not only with an amazing tone and resonance, but also a vibrato frequency that is in that very narrow range that is in the comfort zone, and you have a voice which literally flows through you, and warms your soul. You can close yours, lie back and simply get lost in Judith’s voice.

Excellent analysis of Judith's voice, she had a voice a vocal could not teach anything to. First time I heard this version, by the end my eyes were wet for some reason? In the gospel song "When the stars begin to fall" she hits a F# above high C effortlessly. Just an amazing voice, glad you covered her, love the channel.

Straight away Fil, I never liked "Danny Boy", this song was never my cup of tea, so it needs a small miracle to let me listen thru the whole song.....well, the miracle just happened! Sometimes a voice hits you right from the beginning, I am not talking about technique here, I am talking about emotions.It is for me the same as comparing "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini sung by Kiri te Kanawa (excellent technique) and Maria Callas, when I hear the version of Callas I am almost moved to tears.......... As for the 60's, there were so many great female voices, out of my head: Judith Durham, Vikki Carr, Cilla Black, Julie Rogers, Shirley Bassey, and many many more.........and I am not even up to the MALE voices! Thumbs up from The Netherlands!
