Rapper FIRST time REACTION to The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You (HQ Stereo, 1964/'68)

[@robertmeyerowitz6865]

The Seekers were from Australia. When Judith Durham passed away two years ago, the country honored her with a state funeral. She was a national treasure.

[@mikeyates7931]

Our Judith was the most Beautiful Australian song bird GOD ever put on this green earth - we shall nere see her like again

[@daffydad]

And quite rigt too

[@cgkennedy]

No over dubbing, sheer talent. Judith had an amazing voice.

[@stoneybrotherbass]

Georgy Girl, I agree that one is a must I say!

[@GeraintHughes-pp1cy]

did you know the lyrics to georgy girl were writren by jim dale from the carry on films

[@kathyheyne6030]

Their version of Silver Threads and Golden Needles is the only one I really like. It’s those harmonies.

[@boomeister2]

Yes! Please react to Georgy Girl!

[@VickiCampbell-1216]

Judith Durham's voice was always so beautiful. RIP Judith. I love this Aussie group. "Georgie Girl" was always my favorite song of theirs. 💙

[@mariemiller8740]

May she rest in peace a beautiful voice

[@rankedpsiguy1]

I love this version. Tiny Judith Durham simply standing there with hands on hips and absolutely NAILING IT. If I'm not mistaken, she was around age 18 at the time of this recording. The guys had to ask permission from her parents to take her to England! They reluctantly agreed. That trip led to their immediate worldwide explosion on the folk-pop scene.

[@WeeFlyMan]

"The Carnival is Over" is another Seekers masterpiece.

[@OperaJH]

Love that one too! A favorite of mine.

[@jamesbassett1484]

This was a MEGA HIT in 1964. It was #1 on Top 40 for months!

[@markl3028]

No pyrotechnics ... no obscenities ... no gyrating dancers ... no synthesizers…no skimpy outfit...Just very talented musicians & singers in front of a microphone. One of the best exports from down-under; Judith w/ her phenomenal voice & the musical talent of Athol, Bruce & Keith - they've truly stood the test of time spanning 5 decades. Listen to The Seekers early & often.

[@Nuggettfaz]

For six months in 1966 they were outselling the Beatles and Rolling Stones for record sales. I was 7 years old when they broke up. I cried.

[@craigjacob3704]

Judith was something else.This group is a Australian National Treasure ❤️❤️❤️👍

[@NoggintheNog37]

This is called folk-pop, and these guys were the very best of the genre. The forst real global band from Australia, you can pick pretty much anything they did and its as good as this. Proper musicians, and a superb vocalist in Judith.

[@waltreed2578]

My favorite song when I was a kid. Amazing how Judith's voice cuts through and stands out so beautifully. RIP Judith.

[@libby215]

Love this - Judith Durham's voice is effortless

[@dotread2219]

Thank you so much for this, your reaction was great to see. I am a 70-year-old British woman and I grew up with the Seekers. I absolutely love their sound, especially Judith Durham's voice. So sad she is no longer with us. My seven grandchildren all know Seekers songs, because I have played them on my car CD player since they were small. I sang 'Morning Town Ride' every night to my kids when they were little, and they've done the same with their children. Timeless music. Thank you.

[@wendeclare]

In all honesty, I think of what technology has lost us in true quality and talent.

[@michaelparsons5299]

Beautiful Judith Durham. Gorgeous lady with the voice of an angel. God rest her soul x

[@mervinmannas7671]

The Seekers were an Austalian group who came over to London on a cruise ship originally. They decided to stay intending to be here 6 months maybe. For the next four years or so they dominated the charts here and in Australia with hits like The Carnival Is Over, Morning Town Ride, Georgie Girl, The Island of Dreams and this one. We lost Judith the same week Olivia Newton John passed. Australia lost two of its greatest voices and heaven gained two angels to their choir.

[@GaryLorenz-t7c]

Another very popular Seeker's song called Red Rubber Ball & also that very song of Red Rubber Ball but it was sung by an American pop group called the Cyrkle & the Seekers also did another song called Puff the Magic Dragon but that very same song of Puff the Magic Dragon was sung by an American Folk Group called Peter, Paul & Mary of course.

[@soultrampamplification8425]

BP, before we had technology, we had crazy talent! Judith was one of those rare individuals who had "perfect pitch".

[@TangoEliott]

One of the greatest treasures of Australia and beloved worldwide. Judith Durham was a one of a kind talent. They had many hits and many folk songs. When Judith died 2 years ago they released what was going to be their next release. The song was called Carry Me. It was profound. Judith ended up comforting us with that song. The Seekers were magnificent.

[@baskervillebee6097]

One of the timeless classics. Never get tired of it.

[@patrickminer5926]

That young lady has a beautiful voice and her outfit is mid 60's mod really cool!!

[@drieuxkoeppel8152]

I’ve had a horrible six months. Two time-threatening surgeries six weeks apart. And more. My sweet, wonderful hubby of 42 years made it far easier for me to cope. I’ve still got some PTSD, but he’s made my life so much better. This song is how I feel about him. Always forever. Thanks, Peter. What you’ve given me-you’ll never understand how much I love you. Thanks for our lives, and for two wonderful sons. THANK YOU…

[@MsM-jr2jp]

This group was a big deal for a long time. Judith Durham's voice just went from strength to strength as she got older, in my opinion. Interesting to note that she had a chronic lung disease from the age of four - it took her at the age of 79 in 2022. That voice came through badly compromised lungs the whole time. Her whole personal story is full of courage. I'd 100% recommend reacting to the Seekers live "I Am Australian: Special Farewell Performance" from their Golden Jubilee tour in 2013. Note on the side - Judith actually suffered a stroke during that tour, which affected her abillty to read and write music, but recovered.

[@thevocalcrone]

gee you had me there for a moment 'she had a chronic lung disease'. the difference is that (according to doctor google) bronchitis is temporary - and the 'chronic lung disease' was that she had bronchitis over the life path.. lots of people live with that. in between bouts its okay BUT yes each bout leads to 'lung damage' its the same with asthma. in fact the singing and breath control would have been really beneficial for her lung expansion. tom Jones also had dodgy lungs - not that anyone would know when they hear him sing.

[@jajodaful]

@@thevocalcrone She had bronchiectasis, which is more severe and permanent. From about 4 or 5 years old, I think.

[@MsM-jr2jp]

@@thevocalcrone My understanding was that she had Bronchiecstasis (which is different to Bronchitis - the former a permanent and chronic condition, the latter being a temporary, even if recurring, issue). But I could be all wrong. I never met her personally. And I'm not a doctor. You're right about the potential benefits of singing to build expansion to damaged lungs, though; that much I've experienced myself.

[@stanleywiggins5047]

A suggestion "The Seekers farewell performance, I am, you are, we are Australian," this performance gives this 66 year young Aussie sooo much national pride 😊

[@tiaelina1090]

Yep a classic Aussie group, beautiful

[@allenruss2976]

You should check out their big hit Georgy Girl. They were an Australian folk group. They formed in 62 and broke up in 68. They did a a few reunions in the 70s and 90s

[@rubyslippers8215]

All this time, I had NO idea they were Australian! TY for enlightening me about this awesome group!👍As an aside, can anyone tell me why most non-American singers sing with an American accent? I've always wondered about this.

[@Dr_KAP]

Best song they did if you ask any Aussie is “I am Australian”. That’s their big hit for us. The unofficial Australian anthem!!

[@subwaygoddess1]

I'm so happy you started out with this song for the Seekers. It is my favorite!

[@0utcastAussie]

Judith's beautiful voice sends shivers down my spine.

[@gpxo11]

They're recording in the Beatles studio-Abbey Road. The video is an overdub-1964 being the original hit-1968 is them miming over the song and this video has been upgraded using a stereo HD mix.

[@richardmartin9565]

Judith's voice is prominent but also blended perfectly.

[@anthonyeglington3206]

60 years later I still play their music every so often brings back so many memories of childhood

[@garykellam5596]

Such a booming voice from a petite young lady. And Judith had such class, just a very good person and so sweet.

[@wendyryder2708]

OMG! You reacted to my FAVOURITE GROUP! I grew up with this group! They are PHENOMENAL! Thank you! The Seekers are DEFINITELY Folk!

[@oktrevor2010]

Listening to the seekers takes me back to my youth and all my dear friends I have lost along the way.

[@dee-smart]

The Seekers were Australia's first and leading folk/pop group to leave our shores for international stardom in the 1960s. They continued right up until their final concert just prior to Judith's passing. The male members are all alive. They became particularly famous in the 1960s for a song called Georgie Girl which was used in a British movie.

[@wesalker3479]

I love the way that Judith is just standing there, arms akimbo, singin' like she was just telling a story. . . . .

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Yes, Judith had the voice of an angel.. Believe it or not she never lot that voice and still sounded the same right up until she passed away.. RIP!

[@reincarnatethylacine70]

I think you'll find that this is recorded in the famous Abey Road Studios, London. The Seekers bore the distinction of knocking the Beatles off a number one spot.

[@jvsmith7888]

[@scottfarley3644]

Judy, the lead singer is proof of Angels on earth. Incredibly Judith was unaware of how Beautiful She was. Very Humble, She made Her own dresses. The guy's were always Gentleman with Her and protected Her from zealous fans. Just a few years ago, knowing they could not go on forever, they made a new album. On it was the Song Far Shore. Please check it out. It is such a beautiful goodbye song. Back in Australia at an outside concert venue in the middle 1960's they played live to over 1 million fans. Georgie Girl is a former number 1 smash hit that describes Judith to a T! I am certain you will enjoy it.

I remember as a kid in school in the 60's singing was a part of the school curriculum for every year Learning to sing in pitch and to sing harmonies was part and parcel of school life. Wonderful time to be alive ... and much simpler. :) Hope you listen to more from the Seekers. The lead singer Judith Durham was revered. 💞🕊☮

This performance was recorded at the Abbey Road Studios in London. In the beginning of the video it shows the sign above the entrance door to the studio.

[@thefoss5387]

This was considered Folk, and in the mid-60's Folk was marketed as mainstream. You have heard Dusty Springfield, she was in a Folk group with her brother, Tom, who wrote this one for the Seekers. The three guys, Keith Potger on 12-string lead, Bruce Woodley on rhythm, and Athol Guy on double bass, are all still alive in their early to mid-80s. Judith Durham, passed in 2022. In 1964, at Abbey Road Studio, which is where this was filmed, and where the Beatles also recorded, it is likely that they recording on a 2-track tape machine, so, if there was no "reduction", it is likely that there was only percussion overdubbed on track 2. Their other huge US hit was Georgie Girl. My favorite Seekers tune is another Tom Springfield penned song, The Carnival is Over.

I had such a crush on Judith Durham since the first time I saw her singing this song on TV in 1965 (I was six and had passionately loved music since I was three). Her hair, that pretty face, *_and that VOICE_* - Every song they did is a treasure and stands the test of time. My heart will never mend since I heard the news that I had lost my vocal hero and childhood love on 5 August 2022. Judith Durham will be terribly missed but her voice will last forever . She passed at 79 from bronchiectasis brought on by lifelong asthma. Goodbye my angelic songbird 😢.

Australia's best folk-rock band and beloved in their home country. Great harmonies, led by the amazing Judith Durham. "Georgy Girl" and "The Carnival is Over" are two more classics by them. Several of their songs were co-written by Dusty Springfield's brother Tom Springfield, and Paul Simon was also involved in several of their hits. When I was tiny, my dad used to sing me to sleep with their song "Morningtown Ride".
