The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You (1964) DayOne Reacts

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

The Seekers were around before the Momas and the Popas.

[@martypringle9201]

The amazingly talented Judith Durham...RIP, the voice of an angel.

[@user-gt2uf8cq9y]

Written and produced by Tom Springfield, Dusty's brother. There's never been a more pure, clear singing voice than Judith Durham.

[@drums4b]

AGREED to the 10th power!!

[@wpollock1]

She has a voice that makes you sit up and listen!

[@rongt859]

Karen Carpenter also

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

This song knocked the Beatles off the number one spot on the charts in London.

[@johnchrysostomon6284]

The first Australian group to have major international success

[@jeffmorse645]

I'm glad there's such a good quality video of them performing almost 60 years ago. Little piece of music history and years in the future people can appreciate what talented performers they are and a taste of what Folk Music in the 1960s sounded like.

[@EricSmith-hd1wk]

It’s called folk music! It was huge in the early 60’s!

[@JohnBebek]

There'll never be another you, Judith. RIP.

[@johnclement4158]

Well, Angela, I grew up in the 60's so I was there when this came out. Everyone loved it. I would put it on my phone not only because of its lyrics and music but also because of the nostalgia. This song brings many happy memories and feelings back. Guess you had to be there. The female singer is Judith Durham who kept that beautiful, clear voice throughout her life. The Seekers, an Australian group, did remarkably well considering that they were competing with the onset of the Beatles. They broke up but then reunited many years later though they were much older but showed that they could still deliver. They immediately resumed their great popularity as if they had never left the stage. Judith died recently which is a tremendous loss to us all.

[@paulr.3220]

It was the soundtrack of our youth.

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

It took til the bridge, but the song did its job, putting a smile on your face. RIP the lovely and talented Judith Durham.

[@lbd-po7cl]

The Seekers were HUGE in the ‘60s - so much so they actually knocked The Beatles off number one on the UK charts at one point. Judith Durham, the lead singer, is a legend of Australian music, and much loved. Her voice remained as crystal clear and precise right into her 70s. Sadly passed away in 2022 the same week we lost Olivia Newton John. From their 60s period I strongly recommend Georgie Girl and The Carnival is Over, and from later I am Australian from one of their reunion concerts.

[@paulr.3220]

Same here. It is the soundtrack of our youth. Peace.

[@johnbumgardner7977]

I like the seekers I don't think they were in the Beatles competition in the sixties the Beatles took the top five on the billboard charts to my knowledge no one else in has done that l do like the seekers they are in my phone I respect your opinion but the to group's were on different levels

[@lbd-po7cl]

@@johnbumgardner7977 I’m not saying they were competing the the Beatles, or were “better”, but just the fact they were so well loved that their 1969 compilation album, released as they were disbanding, overtook and replaced the Beatles’ White Album on the UK charts.

[@Jmyth44]

Judith Durham had that crystal clear voice till the day she passed in her 70’s

[@jamesbluntirules]

Absolutely. All you have to do is listen to her sing her unofficial version of Advance Australia Fair. She never lost her amazing voice she had here on this recording.

[@kimmarievan-ever6599]

The wonderful voice of Judith Durham who we lost last yr..you need to check out a few more of their mega hits..Morningtown Ride..The Carnival is Over..Georgy Girl which was the soundtrack to the film of the same name starring Alan Bates..James Mason and Lynn Redgrave..Also..A world of Our Own.. the Mammas and the Pappas had two female voices but Judith harmonised on her own and still made it the best part.. she left to go solo and later on said how she regretted it..she got married but was plagued by poor health..they got back together in the 2010's and were touring consistently..Judith said it gave her such meaning to her life after the loss of her husband..They were from Australia by the way.. 🇬🇧💕🙏✝️👏👍🇦🇺

[@solofly5793]

There was something about this song when it started that felt familiar and I just couldn’t put my finger on it - then the lead singer came in and I was like I know that voice, then you mentioned the song “Georgy Girl” - I went AHHHH THATS IT! thanks loads for putting me out of my misery! Lol, she had that beautiful classic 60s voice.

[@mulatacatachufla]

Australian band from the 60s, I was 3yo kid in 1965... Another great hit was "Georgygirl", it was a #1 back in 1964

[@richardmartin9565]

Judith could sing lead then blend with the harmonies with her distinctive style without dominating the harmony. Nice singing voice too. RIP.

[@albertscanlon2005]

not bad at ALL!...one of the most pure beautiful female or any voice to have been heard. Judith Dearham had a lovely soulful voice and by all accounts she was a wonderful human being

The seekers pre-dated the Mommas and the poppas by several years. They were kind of Australia's version of Peter, Paul and Mary who were also folk singers around that time.

[@TRL1967]

One of my favorites!!❤ 🎶

@@chrisalldis3375 Polls mainly made with U.S. voters. Karen Carpenter had indeed a very good voice, but she cannot compare with Judith Durham. Had Judith been American she would definitely have been voted #1 - no doubt about that.

[@garyarnett1220]

Great old pop song. luv it Seekers were an Aussie band, and singer Judith Durham had a great voice. They sold 50M albums worldwide over the years. We sadly lost Judith about a year and a half ago.

[@tayclarets]

Awe, such a great choice Angela. Makes me feel nostalgic

[@commonwombat9171]

The Seekers were highly competent songwriters and wrote a good deal of their output but they also struck up a very productive relationship with British songwriter/producer Tom Springfield who supplied them with Georgy Girl, The Carnival Is Over, A World Of Our Own and this one. And, yes, he was the brother of Dusty.

[@MaBer-67391]

They do sound a lot like The Mamas And Papas. The woman singer, Judith Durham, quit the band a few years after this because of personal insecurities. She thought she was fat and ugly, but in reality, there were men all over the world who dreamed of her. She rejoined The Seekers many years later.

[@tomcollins1441]

I got that same rainy day Saturday afternoon Mamas and Papas feel from it

[@juliebrinton7470]

Aussie band. Georgy girl my favourite

[@cathyholcombe4674]

❤R.I.P. Judith❤

[@ubute]

Cept they precede Mamas and Papas. Please don't chew whilst Judith Durham is singing DayOne. You're above that. Her's is a great voice but you really have to listen. 🙂

[@trevorkrause7220]

You do realise that the Mamas and Papas band was formed quite a time after the Seekers had already made it big and established that genre of music. Therefore the Mamas & Papas were more of a copy of the Seekers than the other way round. Also the Seekers were competing with reasonable success against the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for the number one top spot of the national weekly pop charts in the sixties, and still managed to produce very popular albums and songs worldwide for almost every decade from then until the early 2000s.

[@chetstevensq]

Can Peter, Paul and Mary be far behind? Or if you want unrivalled harmonies I would suggest Frankie Valli and the Four Season's Rag Doll.

[@AdullFiddler-ez7tm]

There was a huge folk movement in the early 1960 s long before the Mamas and the Papas.

[@RobertJohnson-ui8bw]

Hi Angela I've always loved this song , the lead singer and content. The words are so meaningful . You're right it does sound like a mamas and papas song- I never thought of that before.. luv your channel and songs uhave and your opinions and critique. .

[@hpw-ws6bj]

Wow! Great song. No wonder it was no.1. I knew about the seekers with Georgy girl. But just discovered this one a few weeks ago. And it is just as good. Loved the harmony and the strings and of course super girl's vocal. Oops, forgot to credit the beautiful music and lyrics as well. Outstanding!

[@northernlight2598]

It's very folksy, unheard of today, but this kind of music was part of the landscape in 1964, and I remember it fondly along with the rock and motown and soul and other stuff. EVERYTHING was good then!

[@keymack2477]

A very nice song with a great reaction by you Angela! And yes, I do see some similarities with the Momas and Papas in terms of the harmonies. Cheers,

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

Beautiful,beautiful song.

[@thesoultransferprotocol721]

This song is a masterpiece of the soul. The Folk Era at its Best. Brings me to tears every time I hear it. Might I suggest Mary Fahl, "October Project" 1993. It will blow your minds. Check it out. You wont regret it. Listen to the whole album. You'll see.

Great Folk Band from the 60s From Austrailia . Judith Durhams distinctive voice as always but great great harmonies . The Bee Gees Wrote a song fot them called Massachusettes . Because of some red tape their manager would not let them Record it , The Bee Gees Recorded it themselves and had a big hit with it . Judith Unfortunately passed away about a year ago ., You are right comparing them with the Mammas and Parppas , Both greayt folk bands from the same time zone . Thanks

I grew up with the Seekers. When my father died there was six albums in the house, two of them were the Seekers. They were never played again (to my knowledge) but I remember the pictures on the albums. When there is no music faces mean a lot.

[@carlchiles1047]

Mamas and the Papas were two years later…the Seekers were early 60’s…The Mamas and the Papas were mid to late 60’s…

[@davids2096]

It's a groovy song! They kind of remind me of The Mamas and Papas! Maybe Peter Paul & Mary and the like! I'm thinking of this other song that's not in the same genre, and don't recall if you've featured it on your channel! The Skylines singing Since I Don't Have You! I mentioned The Mamas and The Papas before I heard your reaction! Really! Bye fellow music lovers!

[@pantaleonpangelinan4371]

It was definitely in the folk genre which is where the origins of the Mommas and the Pappas are from.

[@christopherphillips8027]

Honey, the lead singer of The Seekers is the late Judith Durham. Her voice was like that of an angel. Listen to her on their biggest hit Georgy Girl. You will love it.

[@binxbolling]

Yeah, they; the Mommas and Pappas; Peter, Paul, and Mary; John Denver; Bob Dylan; Simon and Garfunkel, etc, were all products of the 1960s folk music revival which reached its peak write before the Beatles hit America.

[@edsargent1923]

Definitely a phone song. One of the best songs ever!

[@soupsyz-themusicaladventur1649]

[@johnd8892]

The later formed Mommas and Poppas may have drawn some inspiration and style from the Seekers when not pursuing other things important to them.

[@binxbolling]

Aussie group. The female singer died within a week of Aussie Olivia Newton John's death.

[@gpxo11]

I get the Spanky & Our Gang vibes -another 60s harmony group that features a female lead singer-Spanky MacFarland-try lazy Day or Like To Get to Know You.

[@bsharp6856]

The Mamas and the Papas (and Spanky and Our Gang, etc.) were influenced by this group. And the Seekers were influenced by Peter Paul and Mary. Etc. That's how music rolls.

[@RonP51]

The Mommas and the Pappas didn't even come close to Judith's singing . She is one of the best vocalists of all time. Unlike all the singers today she never used autotune

[@johne7345]

In my opinion, you underestimate the Seekers and this classic song, one of the best of it era.

[@pavarangi]

[@donaldbeard6231]

I always thought The Seekers were a 70s band (I'm a 90s kid). This is in my top 5 songs of theirs, along with A World Of Our Own, Morningtown Ride, Georgy Girl, and I Am Australian (which is by far my favourite of theirs). Great reaction to a great Aussie band.

Number one in the UK and Australia. Likely other non US markets too. For the UK in 1965 it was such a steady long seller that only one record outsold it. So more sales than any of the Beatles or Rolling Stones singles that year.

[@davidhapka5410]

Imagine that in 1964 you actually had to play instruments and be able to sing....not like the no talent performers of today.

It's not that modern musicians don't have talent. It's just that they keep it hidden.
