Judith Durham, the lead singer, had a fabulous voice, and she moved to a career in jazz singing, which she loved, after she left The Seekers. Judith suffered from a chronic lung condition that she had since being a young child. Eventually she died from it this year. What a trooper she was! You must hear the group sing, "I Am Australian". Even Americans do the patriotic hand on the heart to this one!

As a proud Australian to inform you this “ little cute group” knocked both The Beatles and Elvis Presley off the number one spot on the music charts when they toured England and performed in front of the largest audience in Australia of 200,000 people on n their return. Check out “ i am Australian” “ Georgie Girl” “ Rge Carnival is Over” You won’t be dissected, actually surprised you have not heard of them, the lead singer Judith Durham was awarded the Order Of Australian and sadly passed away a month or two ago. “ The Carnival is Over “

The Seekers in their heyday shared the pop charts in Britain with both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, often displacing them for the number one spot in the the top fourty hit parade for that week. Later in their career one of the band penned the song "I am Australian" which is now a popular unofficial Australian anthem. The Seekers reformed in the early 2000s and played that at the AFL Grand Final at the MCG in Melbourne Australia. This is one of the prime sporting events in the world and boasts about 100,000 spectators at the stadium. At the height of their success they played to a crowd of over 200,000 people at an outdoor concert in Australia, which I believe is still a record concert crowd for the Southern hemisphere.

I'm so glad you two have found the Seekers. If you care to dive in for a bit longer reaction, check out their performances of their biggest hit, 'Georgy Girl.' plus the iconic 'Waltzing Matilda' and what many feel should be the Aussie's national anthem, 'I Am Australian,' written by group member Bruce Woodley. They sang the three songs at the 1994 national football final in Melbourne, 30 years after this video you've just watched. Judith never lost her voice, even well into her 70s. It's an 11-minute video but I promise you'll love it, and you'll feel like an Aussie yourselves by the time it's over. Please keep up your fun reactions! Thanks.

Although it's difficult for those who weren't there to believe, for a short time during late 1965 and early 1966 the popularity of this singing quartet from Australia was sufficient to rival the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The Seekers were at the head of the British Invasion's acoustic folk-rock division, right there with Peter & Gordon and Chad & Jeremy and more successful than either -- they scored a string of number one hits in England and Top Ten successes in the U.S. that lasted into 1967, two years later than most of the rest of the British exports to America. You must play their biggest hit GEORGY GIRL and Oscar nominated. The Seekers were the most successful group, at the time to come out of Australia. In a chance meeting years later, Maurice Gibb ran into Judith Durham and told her that the Bee Gees had tried desperately to get her group to record MASSACHUSETTS which the Bee Gees then took to great success.

The seekers were a very good folk/pop band from Australia. In fact, I think they were the first Australian group that had success here in the United States. "I'll Never Find Another You" was their very first top 10 hit and an excellent song. You both said you would like to hear other songs from them. I have the perfect suggestion. Please react to The Seekers "Georgy Girl". It is my favorite song from them and it was also their biggest hit. "Georgy Girl" is such a happy, feel-good song. I think you will both love it.

Absolutely listen to more - Georgy Girl, The Carnival is over, Morningtown Ride - so many great songs. Judith Durham had such a clear, pitch perfect voice, even at age 70 at their fair well concert a few years ago she sounds exactly as she did in her 20s. Much loved and sadly missed.

There are so many great songs to chose from with The Seekers, check out The Carnival Is Over, Island If Dreams, A World Of Our Own to name a few. They were around a little before my time (I showed up in ‘71?lol) but my parents were into them and I do recall them playing albums from The Seekers when my brother and I were very young, in particular The Seekers recorded a beautiful children’s song called Morningtown Ride which is beautiful, I’d I’ve to see you react to that because an abiding memory from when we were little was mom playing that to send us off to sleep 😊

Another amazing fact about the late Judith Durham: from the age of four she was affected by a severe lung disease called Bronchiectasis. Symptoms typically include a chronic cough, shortness of breath, coughing up blood, chest pain and wheezing. To have had such a terrific singing careen while dealing with such an affliction is exceptional.

The amazing thing about the Seekers is that after breaking up many years ago, they got together and were singing together 50 years later...and they sounded just as good. This song was written especially for them by Tom Springfield, the older brother of Dusty Springfield, who was also a fabulous singer. The Seekers are most familiar to Americans for "Georgy Girl", but they sounded fabulous no matter what song they sung.

The Seekers were huge in the 1960s. My family was in their “Guinness Book of Records” crowd of an estimated 200,000 at the Melbourne Myer Music Bowl (Victoria, Australia) in 1967. I was 14 at the time. We could not see them, but we could definitely hear them. They were magic and we talked about that mesmerising concert through the decades. We played the highlight song “The Carnival is Over” at my Dad’s funeral in 1993. The Seekers were on our TV screens and in the air waves on our wirelesses as we grew up in. Australia in the sixties. One of their much later songs “I am Australian” is almost an anthem.

Morningtown Ride, The Carnival Is Over, A World of Our Own and Georgy Girl from the film of the same name are four popular hits by this Australian group, who only found real success after they were spotted performing on a cruise ship and were invited to tour in the UK. You may have heard of 1960s British folk, blues and soul singer, Dusty Springfield. Well most of the Seekers hits were written by her brother, Tom.

Fast forward 50 years from 1964 to 2014 and The Seekers did a Farewell Tour, in which Judith Durham was not well, but still wanted to do the tour. Bruce Woodley wrote I Am Australian, which was another adopted anthem of Australia. In this performance of I Am Australian, Judith needed a stool to support her on stage due to her health. But her voice sounded the same as it did 50 years earlier. Judith passes earlier this year. Link to I Am Australian video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOvhZhnlJ6tqdE

This was the typical early 60s folk sound that was a craze everywhere back then, but these guys put their own extra magic into the mix! RIP Judith Durham.

3:50 The '60s was such a nice polished era? You mean the early '60s. The late '60s was when the hippies let it all hang out.

This was being recorded at the Abbey Road Studio in London. They started out in australia, worked their passage on a cruise ship, spent a few years in the UK. had a number of hits, like Georgie Girl, and Morningtown Ride. Came home and Judith Durham quit, her anxiety got to her. They got back together later on. Judith was tiny, a Pocket Rocket, who could drown them out easily.

Welcome to the great music if the 60's and this song only reinforces that, not only are the harmonies fantastic and the song itself and listening to the words in this song is so romantic.😊❤👍

Judith had the most beautiful & unique voice. She could sing Folk, Pop & Opera with equal quality & Beauty. She had so much pain & suffering throughout her life. She suffered from Meningitis which kept her from performing for more than 10 years. While she was recovering, she was involved in a terrible car accident which also almost ended her life, which is why she had to sit in most of her performances after returning to her career. There are so many wonderful songs the Seekers sang & one of their best & in my opinion the greatest Australian Anthem ever written, I Am Australian. Others are, Morningtown Ride, My Lord What A Morning, The Carnival Is Over, A World Of Our Own etc. So, so many.

I'm from the 60's, grew up in the 70'& 80's and into rock and punk. How on earth can Judith Durham's voice bring a lump to my throat ? Incredible !

The Seekers were making hits around the time of Peter, Paul and Mary right up to the last few years. They were big in the UK as well as here in Australia. This clip is in remarkable condition seeing it is 58 years old. 👍🤗

Lucky that this recreation of the 1964 recording session was made in 1968 of professional standard film. This was done for a TV special/documentary that had huge ratings when shown in Australia in 1968. The whole near hour long show is on KZbin, so the print or negative survived in good condition. Unlike reused video tape that deteriorated with age and was much lower resolution than the best film until about the nineties.

Love The Seekers. I watched this video a few months ago after Judith passed away. I love how they show them recording the song in the studio. So fun seeing this from the early 60s. I was 10 when this came out. Great song.

OMG! I haven't heard this in 40 years! But to tell the truth, I thought it was from Peter, Paul and Mary. Thanks for the memories!
