[@daveg3138]

[@MrCarsten46]

I am just crying when I hear the seekers -- and judith --- OHH my good --.

[@uweb7336]

[@하지감자-b8l]

고맙습니다

[@barryh.4220]

She's beautiful, what a singer ..... we'll never see another group as good as this.

[@mastergpat]

Than you.

[@jaysoper3974]

Seekers owe a big debt to songwriter Tom Springfield; they need right kind of tune to bring out their best

[@gusefulbeauty]

You are the right! He was as much a part of their divine success as they were.

[@stewartfenton7660]

Judith comes alive as usual on "We shall not be Moved" despite that horrible orchestra trying to sound like a Dixieland band. But she looks ill, and I bet the occasion and circumstances were getting to her, although I believe she was excited at the next phase of her life. For her personally, her future husband was about to change her outlook (and diet) for good, and make her a healthier, happier, more confident person. But many of us miss that fabulous figure she had back then, let's be truthful.

[@mikeswartz3146]

She melted tens of millions of bloks.

[@boogieeck]

They had some great material. Lets face it, these dont stand up to time. But what a voice. Truly astounding.

The fifth song they do here, "I Wish You Could Be Here," was co-written by Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley. Another one from their joint pens, "Red Rubber Ball," became a near-million seller for a previously unknown group, The Cyrkle, at a time when Simon & Garfunkel were still far from that mark with any of their singles. The Cyrkle went on to a mediocre chart entry, "Turn Down Day," then they recorded "Wish You Could Be Here," which was, well, a flop. It barely charted at all in the States. I personally liked it best of those 3, and I'm pleased to see it featured here. And I encourage searching for The Cyrkle's rendition of it. I think they do a bit better on the musical nuances at the end of each refrain. That said, I'm a big fan of The Seekers, and I'm glad to see they have a bit of a "Smothers Brothers" feel to their banter. Fred

[@paulbennett2902]

Athol without a bass guitar !

[@richards6332]

Today I am so sad at the news of Judith's death.

[@pc166829]

Just love her voice...And such an attractive lady..

[@56beverley]

What a wonderful voice she has. A gift from God.

[@coralmclaughlin9864]

My favourite group of all time!

[@oldvet7547]

Watched a interview withe Judith years later after got back together. Judith said she left because she felt she was heavy and didn't look good. So sad. She was and still is a talented and very good looking womand.

[@RonDylewski]

If true, that is so incredibly sad. She was an amazing talent!

[@hofrederick]

We her unique voice not. her look. It saddened many of the fans of the group.

[@hofrederick]

We love her unique voice. not her look. It saddened many fans of the group with her departure. (Edited)

[@stewartfenton7660]

That was something that needlessly preyed on her, and she might have said that in the moment. But she left because, much as she loved the boys, and what they did, she felt constricted. Her ambition was to sing all different kinds of music, including her beloved jazz, and that's what she did for the next twenty-five years, and indeed until the end of her career.

[@dick12235]

Thanks: Judith is always a wonderful treat.

[@פנינהנוי]

מקסימים, מגוונים, אינטליגנטיים רבגוניים. מעריצה אותם ולא רק בגלל המוסיקה הנפלאה שלהם, אלא בגלל הכבוד ההדדי שלהם, חיבתם איש לרעהו, השנים הרבות שהם ביחד. אנשים מקסימים שייפו את העולם.

[@barryh.4220]

The Seekers are exceptional, a fantastic group .... and Judith Durham is awesome.

[@jimholmes6333]

She had a voice that one cannot forget. That girl could sing

[@suzannelawson9215]

Great, great cover of "Hello Mary Lou!" and "I Wish You Could Be Here." by the guys. Of course love all songs with Judith.

[@rogergabriel1810]

A superior group, current bands don't stand against them. But the silly jokes ...

12-string guy, Keith, right? Just realized he looks like Peter Noone, Herman.

[@mikeklaene4359]

I like the way they just belt out their songs. And the big bass fiddle - such a rich tone over a bass guitar.

[@DRAINPIPE57]

[@mikeswartz3146]

Fell in love with her first time I saw this tape, Mike , Scranton, PA, USA. When you ask, 2017, totally missed them when they were charf toppers, so thankful I found her and the Seekers.
