The Seekers were another great Australian folk pop band from the 60's. Judith Durham had such a beautiful voice. She just passed away last year. They had so many great hits including "I'll Never Find Another You", "The Carnival Is Over", "A World Of Our Own", "Morningtown Ride", "Someday, One Day" etc. They have beautiful voices & harmonies. They don't make nostalgic music like this anymore. Reminds me of a simpler time.

Hi Dagmar ✨

[@johnd8892]

​@@MrsPenPalA reaction to all of those songs listed would be very popular and amaze you too. The most recent of theirs that gets a huge reaction from people hearing it is "I am Australian".

[@capstan50g]

The harmonies and chord progression are so freakin' satisfying! This is '60s folk at its best. Great reaction, MrsPenPal!

[@alanarakelian5021]

"I'll Never Find Another You" -- the band's first hit from 1965 -- really allows Judith Durham's angelic voice a chance to shine.

[@CoolCoyote]

I would have travelled for miles to see this and im gen x lol but this group[ is a genuine great band.

[@pamagnolia]

Such a superb band. Judith’s voice was incredible!! 😅

[@MrsPenPal]

Hi Pa! ✨✨✨

[@cathariney.3877]

Thank you for reacting to this. This is one of my favorite songs from my young childhood.

[@MrsPenPal]

Thanks for watching and sharing your comment. Happy to hear it’s one of your favorites ✨

Hi Blessing! I was 10 yrs old when the song hit the airwaves, and made this tweener bop! From wiki: ""Georgy Girl" ... by the Australian group The Seekers, was used as the title song for the 1966 film of the same title. [A really sweet movie that I also saw with older sibs upon its release!] It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song but the prize went to "Born Free".

[@MrsPenPal]

Hi Fred! 10 yrs!

[@russ4862]

Hi Blessing! It's been a long time since I've heard this song and it is and always has been a very catchy tune performed by The Seekers. This is actually the theme song to a movie by the same name, Georgie Girl. It was a bit of a scandalous movie when it came out because it was somewhat risque for the time. But the movie is pretty much about what the song is about. Great to see your fabulous reaction! And here's to your next one, mi Amiga! 🙏😊💜

[@MrsPenPal]

Hi Russ Russ thanks for your support of this channel! #member and thanks for your watching and commenting! Happy to know it’s a song you know and have a liking to.

The Seekers were an Australian band, the concert on this video is still the biggest attended event in the Southern hemisphere, and marked their return to Aus after a couple of years in which they had conquered both Britain and America, even knocking The Beatles off the Number 1 slot on the US charts. The band broke up in the 70’s while Judith pursued a solo career with her husband, mainly going down a more folk music route, but reunited fairly regularly before a tour to mark 50 years in the industry; the tour was supposed to take in Australia and the Royal Albert Hall in London but had to be delayed after the opening night when Judith suffered a near fatal brain aneurysm. They returned six months later and you’ll find lots of videos of their farewell tour - I Am Australian is the subject of a campaign to get it adopted as the country’s national anthem, and The Carnival Is Over is heartbreaking as you know for them it effectively was. Through all their careers Judith battled an incurable lung condition as a result of catching Mumps as a five year old, and she passed fairly quickly as the band were discussing what they could do to mark their 60th anniversary. Listening to interviews of the guys talking about their last conversations with her is really tearjerking.

[@thomastimlin1724]

We lost Judith Durham only a year and a half ago. one of the greatest singing voices in the world, you KNEW it was her on the radio the moment song started.

[@AKR8810]

I used like this song when it came out, and I remember watching The Seekers perform on The Ed Sullivan Show. I think they split up shortly afterwards, and the lead singer went solo. She passed away some years back. The only other song I remember from them was I'll Never Find Another You and it was pretty good.

[@caplondon]

A real Golden Oldie. But still sounds fantastic and a catchy song. Thanks for sharing. 😊🎉❤

[@johnbrookes3261]

The Seekers reunited in 1993 for their 25 Anniversary tour. You can find it on KZbin. They also played multiple charity events together after that over the years. In 1997 the made the album Future Road. All but three songs on that album were written by the members of the Seekers. In 2013, the Seekers began their 50th Anniversary tour. After completing one of their concerts, Judith had a cerebral brain bleed and had to be hospitalized for quite sometime. So their tour was postponed while she was recovering and rehabilitating. Once she was well enough, they continued on and completed their tour but it was after that, that Judith decided that she wasn’t going to commit to any more tours. They still worked on music that was already in the works to produce their last album Carry me. Which was released after Judith’s death in August of 2022. She died of a lung disorder caused by the measles that she contracted when she was a child. She had a beautiful voice and together their group had a very unique sound.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

That was nice. I hadn't seen that clip before. And because I've even played stand-up bass in bands before, it always warms my heart. Kind of random, but have you reacted to a massive pop rock hit from the mid-70s by the British band The Sweet called Fox on the Run? It's like the ultimately dense 70s analog recording goodness, and so memorable and so catchy, and definitely a sing-along song. Some great vocal performances as well.

[@MrsPenPal]

I appreciate your comment Steve you are always so insightful! No I haven’t reacted to the group you mentioned

[@stevedahlberg8680]

​@@MrsPenPalit's pretty classic and it's an example of glam rock that is just a small part of the overall Rock sound but it's still a part of it and they also dressed that way on stage. Fox on the Run and Ballroom Blitz are two huge hits off of that Desolation Boulevard album in the mid-70s. I bet you would love them both.

[@andrewhope3525]

The Seekers were the first Australian band to sell a million records!

[@jerrypost9651]

Loved your reaction, sweet Blessing. ❤ I tend to think of The Seekers as a bit of a one-hit wonder group. This is the only song of theirs I ever hear played. But as you note, it's certainly a good one. 👍😉

[@davekahana1584]

Sorry but you are mistaken. They had many hits.

[@ddplant6]

Try their I am Australian from their farewell concert. Such an amazing performance.

[@douglasloss]

I remember the Seekers. Very 60s folkie. As others have said, one of the few internationally known Australian groups.

[@adamc1966]

Judy Durham had the voice of an angel. So sad that she is gone. ❤️

[@carolynsteinecke]

There was also a movie by the same name. They were tied together. Lynn Redgrave was in it. It was a British movie, but also popular here.

[@stanleynykaza9042]

The lead singer was Judith Durham. she passed away last year. R.I.P. Please react to HELEN REEDY song I DONT KNOW HOW TO LOVE HIM as she is also from Australia and known as queen of the 70s !

[@groovygregsmith]

Glad you liked it girl, check them out. Everyone Loves Judy.

[@improperbostonian6722]

The 1960s were groovy baby! Ya Baby Ya!

[@douglasloss]

The second folkie group I doted on was Steeleye Span, led by Maddy Prior. They were a little later (but only a little) than The Pentangle. Span was more electrified than most of the others doing their style of music, and had some big hits. Here are some of them.

[@douglasloss]

Hmmm. From the 60s folk groups, there were two I particularly liked. The first was The Pentangle, with Jaqui McShee as the lead singer in most of their songs. The Pentangle ended in the early 70s, but so far as I know Jaqui is still singing!

As for fun band names, I always liked Omar and the Howlers. :) Howlers, eh? Not overly self-impressed with their vocal abilities, I guess. But I liked them a lot. Worth giving a listen to, just search them out.

[@jonbrooks5246]

Even better song from them was “I’ll Never Find Another You”.

Sadly Judith has died. A beautiful singer and Woman. I grew up in the 1960's so the Seekers was part of my sound track of life!
