Rich. Many thanks for putting this together it is absolutely fantastic. At the end Athol says "It has been lots of fun" and this comes across throughout the whole 49 minutes of this video. It must have taken you many hours of hard work to produce this and, I for one, am extremely grateful to you. Well done. David T.

[@rich963]

Thanks David - much appreciated.

As a long-time amateur musician, almost as old as they are, who has always admired this fantastic group, I couldn't have said it any better! Fred

I just love The Seekers. They are awesome musicians and singers. Judiith, you are as lovely today as you were 56 years ago, when The Seekers first came to be known to all outside the UK and your native, Australia.

I've never heard a singer before who's voice has kept it's magic like Judith's - it's as good now as it was back when it first captivated me with Georgy Girl all those years ago. The Seekers are and always will be timeless. Thanks to them for the music & memories, and thanks to you for putting this video together.

[@Mark_Dyer1]

These four wonderful Australians were the sound of my adolescence; and I ask God's blessing on them for that. Great tunes, and wonderful songs.

The Seekers are a shining light that will glow forever. Such joy they gave to the world. Judith has the voice of an angel.👍😊

I fell in love with Judith before I ever saw her. Her voice did things to my heart I had never felt as a boy of 10 or so. Thank you Judith.

[@lorinwhittington3866]

Steve, This is perhaps the best comment of the hundreds I have read on KZbin. It is just how I reacted when I heard Georgy Girl. Thank you for this lovely sentiment!

Don’t worry about getting old. You are already immortal. People will listen with wonder 50 years from now.

Wonderful group. All four are exceptionally gifted musicians and inevitably as a fourteen year old male, I fell in love with Judith and still feel the same at sixty.four.

[@davidjohnclinton8378]

Brian Edward yes, me too.

[@digitalnomad9985]

I wasn't very group conscious at 4 "Another You" or 6 "World of our Own", but I was precocious in my appreciation for music, and those songs made a big impression on me. Even my little sister remembers "Georgie Girl".

[@StellarFella]

What I am so thankful to Judith and the rest of the Seekers for is the way they held firmly to pure music and did not sell out to the quirkish gimmicks of the day. The fad laden music industry became so full of one hit wonders who were anything but real musicians. Judith is a great piano player and reads sheet music almost as easily as she breathes. Their body of music will definitely stand the test of time and be appreciated long into the future.

[@SeoJun-Sara97]

I love The Seekers. The first time I heard their song was on the radio in the late 80s. I was a little girl back then and I am still in love with them.

[@drdonthedj]

I thought The Seekers were the best ever in the 60’s! And, again in 2021 at age 67 I still gets tears in my eyes listening to “I’ll Never Find Another You”. The most beautiful romantic song ever. Timeless Classic !! Thanks for sharing yourselves as such great artists in my lifetime. May God Bless you all!!

[@PeterDful]

Wow, i was born in 1967, i feel l call myself a Seekers Baby. This is a group with talent well ahead of their time. Timeless musical beauty.

[@larryvermeer6170]

Good morning my friend They are the greatest group to RIP Judith Durham Am still listening to this music in July of 2024 to

[@ciarraibuzz]

The Seekers's "I'll Never Find Another You" is such a fantastic song and such a great performance on the record and the video (film) of them in the studio is tops. My wife sang it to me for Valentine's Day a couple of years ago. Tears. I just have always loved The Seekers doing this song. It is such a moving song, so full of heart. To tell the truth, it blows my mind to know that Judith Dunham had issues about her looks because I have always thought that she is gorgeous. The mind is full of issues, isn't it?

[@paulgardner6239]

Rich this is wonderful. You must have blown a gasket to get all this together. I love The Seekers. I hope they meet up again in 2021-2022

[@StellarFella]

Half a century plus of sheer magnificence.

[@evevening7995]

I would like to say a big thank you to the seekers, I play there music every day, judith Durham's voice is so unique, I wish they could go on making more songs, I don't think there will be another seekers group like them, I wish them all the best, lots of love EVE XXXX

[@gordonwilliams5394]

Thank you all of you for filling in the gaps, the highs and lows of your life together as a group. Starting out in the 60s going dancing listing to your music along with other groups at the time like the Shadows, Cliff Richard etc, and so many more groups some who have kept going some who have not; I feel very lucky to have been born in the forties to enjoy such music. Long may you live a prosper and your music continues to played and remembered. Keep going keep living the life. Thank you.

How insulting . The boys succeeded in their own right .

[@winnerkaputulasimposya6351]

It was years I heard the Seekers sing I listen to them now they are still as fantstic as ever. what a ledacy! Wonderful gift.

[@StellarFella]

Judith suffered SUCCESS and FAME VERTIGO and climbed back down off the Seeker ladder. She had still been living at home before their voyage to England and was expecting to be back in 10 weeks. For her, it was like getting on an elevator that kept going up and never returned to the ground floor. Leaving the group helped her to return to the ground floor and tend to very pressing issues in her romantic life. She had saved practically everything and was financially able to move on.

[@colinball4697]

Do we have a Soul ? I say yes - because what is that that pulls , what is that that draws a tear , what is that provokes a memory and brings a smile when listening to this wonderful music. Beautiful.

[@StellarFella]

For me, "Georgy Girl" and "Some Day, One Day" are masterful works that capture the exquisitely unique blend and range of their voices combined with stellar musicianship. Thank you for the different timelines involved. They help to put together the entire picture needed to fully fathom and understand the wondrous Seeker Saga.

[@duanevanwinkle3488]

I too remember these songs as I finished High School and onto College. I loved the updates and the history behind the music. I bought the record "I will never find another you!" and gave it to my girlfriend. Ironically I can not remember who she was. However soon after I found the girl of my dreams and that record title came true and we will celebrate our 48th Anniversary this month!

[@ursulamulder110]

Cherish each moment and ALL the memories...

[@StellarFella]

Even if they had originally recorded "Masachussets" as it was written expressly for them in 1967, and had been able to appear on the 39th Academy Awards on April 10, 1967, Judith still had serious emotional and artistic needs to sort out. The greatest accomplishment or artistic feat would have been to have been able to set back and slowly record songs expressly written for them and tour a more reasonable schedule here and there. As great as they have been, The Seekers reached about a third of the heights they otherwise could have reached artistically if the group had not broken up for such a huge number of years. 24 years! Life happens though and we are so thankful for the richness of their music.

[@ynot5105]

What a lovely and interesting Documentary such a fantastic group

[@shortliner68]

A wonderful and insightful interview video about The Seekers, whose musical talent is loved just about anywhere its been heard in the world. I've grown up and gotten older with their music being 12 when they got together in 1962, now 70 and still enjoying hearing them sing and play. If they all live to be 100, I have no doubt they could still perform their songs with the same beautiful harmony as in the 1960s. Wishing them continued good health for many years to come.

[@barrygattenhof9903]

The words "I will love you till i die" is so apt it is mind blowing. Judith is an impossible act to follow...nothing like the Seekers and rheir sound. Thank god i was there to enjoy all the best.

[@neilfranklin5644]

Their 1st number one was the 1st song that captured my attention, I was always singing this at age 5 .

[@StellarFella]

This magnificent project/product has put together the different elements of their odyssey more comprehensively than anything else out there. A tremendous work that answers so many questions for so many of us. Thank you so much for it.

Judith has a beautiful voice but with the boys it became legendary and brilliant, the whole package made it timeless..............I remember when I heared "The Carnival is over" for the first time, I must have been around 12 years old, it moved me to tears, despite my age, think I "grasped" it directly...........Thank you Judith, Keith, Bruce and Athol......everytime I heared you you made me happy and very emotional, and also because of you I learned the true meaning of love. With love from the Netherlands.

I have taught singing for 30 odd years...and I have been blessed to teach two sopranos, with comparable voices to Miss Durham, but neither were as vivacious as Judith; they lacked her energy in the vocal line. They were marvelous in their own ways, but it was not the same, though lovely. Ms. Durham has a unique, God-given talent, which I have not encountered in singing. She is lovely! Thank you for sharing this.
