Some singers’ voices deteriorate with age, but not Judith’s. She has such a wonderful clear voice. My favourite,

[@FlintstoneR1]

I wonder if Linda Ronstadt must shed the odd tear to listen to Judith, still able to sing so well at a similar age, when sadly Linda no longer can. I love them both.

My God, I miss her voice

[@user-in5eb4zf2w]

Just a beautiful lady who is missed by so many.

[@pocopico7409]

So sad to hear of Judith‘s passing away on August 5. Her body grew tired over the years, but her voice always carried on and she still sounded great. What a wonderful lady she was.

[@mikeswartz3146]

She had a lung disease from birth. Never seemed to affect those wonderful pipes of hers. Mike from Scranton, Pennsylvania , USA.

It never ceases to amaze me how Judith hits every note and inflection perfectly every time. She's a wonder and a gift to us all. The guys are great too!

[@joedennehy386]

Great harmonies, but she is a different league

[@blakjack3053]

Larger than life harmonies!

[@diplomamilldoc8562]

She has perfect pitch

[@johnschuh8616]

The Seekers worked so well together that seems they came together by divine intervention. The Boys had worked together since school, I hear. Judy had her own thing going and then one night she came in to sing then then, like Cinderella and the glass slipper.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

Rip Judith ..such a clarity in her wonderful voice..

[@sheilabloom6735]

R.I.P. Thanks for the beautiful music you gave us.

[@snivelinj7612]

They still possess that pure quality in their voices and harmonies. I grew up in the "folk music era" in America. The Seekers from Australia fit right in with the best with the best of them. And they are still alive and well and together, and entertaining at their high level.

[@kerrinorourke5914]

In their 70s, still that voice and those harmonies. So sad to lose Judith August 22, and to a lung condition she had from 4 years old. Songs and singing kept her going. And so much more. Bless you, Judith.

[@samcash6131]

It will be a very long time, if ever that a group of people with the combined talents, comes together to produce such brilliant, inspiring, quality and listenable music. This is a musical group, not just clown entertainers like todays so-called singers.

Man, they sound as good as they did 50 years ago. RIP Judith, you definitely left your mark in the history of 60s music

[@rhtball]

She has a Voice that will never Die....

[@malcolmdivorty6852]

They don’t make groups like the Seekers anymore or have singers with the music range and beauty that Judith had. Her music is timeless

[@tombob671]

Still as great as they were in 1965. Stunning, just fabulous!

[@corniebanman424]

You still sound wonderful... never stop singing

[@DaveD2488]

Judith truly has a voice of an angel. It melts all my troubles away.

[@blakjack3053]

Her voice restores!

[@brucebaur5670]

Perhaps ironically, I've never found a single verse in the Bible that confirms angels can even sing at all. They can proclaim, but that's not singing. If I am assessing that accurately, then Judith was gifted with a voice that far surpasses any angelic being in either Heaven or earth.

[@ivangranger8494]

@@brucebaur5670 And yet, God inspired his words of the Bible, to be put to music. George Frederic Handel’s, master piece, comes to mind. And other composed music, of the Bible. I wonder if anyone that died, and was sent back to the earthly body, has mentioned any music 🎵 on that experience? Somewhere I saw something about the hearing of Angles, singing. But I cannot remember as to where.

[@brucebaur5670]

@@ivangranger8494 I will gladly eat crow when someone can verify in scripture that angels can sing. I never found such a place. In fact, I've never found a scripture that says they can dance, either. After all, the Bible does tell us that there are a number of things we humans can do that angels would like to look into. They can do what we cannot, and we can do what they cannot. Bottom line: I'm just thankful we're all on the same side.

[@patmcgrath1001]

They were said to be too folk to be pop and too pop to be folk. Still sounds as clear as in mid 60s. Timeless.

[@eugenebarry5376]

Her incredibly strong vocal performance never lessened with time and her ability to overcome health challenges was unmatched. A true legend and star. Her immense legacy of song and music will live on,entertaining generations to come. Heaven's choir just got better

[@lestorhaslam]

Wonderful. Thank you Seekers.

[@perihelion7798]

The Seekers are truly timeless, and still amazing after many decades. Thanks so much!

So sad to hear of Judith’s passing she had the voice of an angel. Played a couple of there songs at my wife’s memorial service last year. RIP

You are in good company! There are more than a few of us older folks (I'm 68) who discovered The Seekers just in the past few months. Can't be just a coincidence! Catching up on 60 years of Seekers music.

[@tekmach903]

Just turned 65 and the only number I had heard as a kid was Georgy Girl. Music/videos of this caliber give youtube some redemption against the backdrop of their unhinged, unmoderated political bs.

Looking back to the sixties, I think the Seekers were the best vocal group of that decade. I didn't think so at the time, but the Seekers stayed with me all these years as the others faded.

[@williamwyckoff3963]

I just love Judith Durm she's the best lady singer I've heard in a long time

[@DavidVT23]

"Silver Threads and Golden Needles" was the first big hit of The Springfields, which catapulted Dusty Springfield to stardom. Her brother, Tom, subsequently became the primary songwriter for the Seekers, penning "Georgy Girl," "I'll Never Find Another You," "The Carnival is Over," and "A World of Our Own." So, it's fitting they recorded this in their last session together.

[@gusefulbeauty]

They are absolutely the best group ever!!!
