The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You | REACTION

[@wasslic]

The Bee Gees I think were still in Australia when The Seekers were at their peak. They wrote Massachusetts for The Seekers, but for some reason it never got passed onto the them, so they recorded it themselves. Many,many years later, The Seekers found out and did do aversion of the song.

[@Scuderia_Fan]

When doing it right, there's no instrument sounding better than the human voice. This sounded so sweet.

[@friedaadjutant2288]

Loved The Seekers and Your comments about the music of that era.

[@LizzieRD]

Fantastic harmonies. You must try another Seekers song. They knocked the Beatles off the top of the charts in the early 60s. Géorgie Girl, the carnival is over, and their final concert decades later with We are Australian. All gobsmacking hits.

[@binslick1000]

Beautiful vocal harmonies. And Judyth had a magnificent voice. A timeless song that will transcend time.

[@carlchiles1047]

Again, it you ever go back and read any of this….another two great songs they did was A World of Our Own and Georgie Girl…and for Georgie Girl there was a movie by that name..

[@rvonnerussell3738]

Soooo good. Judith Durham, never lost her voice. She sounded the same well into her eighty’s. Check out their farewell concert. You will be amazed. I promise. Keep up the outstanding work, Chad. ❤️

[@neilleng9188]

She died aged 79.!

[@miriamkirk7293]

Amazing vocals especially from Judith. Her voice was so beautiful with very clear diction. I'm so glad you are doing all of these oldies , some of which I haven't heard for years. Great weekend marathon Chad. Looking forward to the Beegees next weekend. X

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Dude, there's nothing like the sound of a 12 string. The fullness of the sound and the low tones are wonderful.

Just got mine a month ago. My fingers hurt!

[@johnbattles1002]

I was born in 1955. Trust me when I say that as you dive deeper and deeper into 50's, 60's, and 70's music, you will find a virtual cornucopia of multi-talented singers and musicians from every genre of musical entertainment imaginable, every cultural, national, socio-economic, racial, etc. background in the world. From those three "magical music" decades alone, you will never run out of amazing reactions! And The Seekers with sweet, charming, angelic, gifted Judith Durham were among the very best! They were to Australia what Karen & Richard Carpenter were to the USA! And what both were to their respective countries, they became to the whole world! Great reaction, sir! And, sadly, you are absolutely spot on about the decadence and lack of decency in today's so-called "music" (and in almost everything else for that matter).

[@debraabatie2923]

You are so right!! Thanks for putting my feelings into such beautiful words

[@CopperJenny]

One of my all time favorites. So sweet and lovely.

[@susieq9801]

NICE HAT!!!! The song "Massachusetts" was written for The Seekers by the Gibbs but it never got to them through their manager for some reason but when Mo died they did a beautiful version of it as a tribute. Judith had an amazing voice and also that rare quality, a natural vibrato. Her vibrato in "Plaisir D'amour" is lovely. She was about four foot nothing with a six foot powerful voice. Loved this Aussie band. They were HUGE in the 60's with songs like "Georgy Girl", "A world of our own" and "Morningtown Ride", all worth a listen (HINT). A friend of mine grew up in the circus with the bearded ladies and the whole bit...REALLY...and her favorite is "The Carnival is Over". All great songs. Hope you can eventually do more of their songs. Worth the wait. 😊😊 No worries.

[@festidious2644]

Hi, Susie Q! Do you know my favourite Seekers song, All Over The World? Give it a wee listen if you are not familiar with it.

Didn't Robin sing Massachusetts??

[@ShikataGaNai100]

One of the greatest female voices in music...ever. Her voice will live in our hearts forever. RIP - Judith Durham

[@jesjes5255]

Judith now sings with the choir of angels. We are so blessed to have heard her voice.

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Darn! I love that deerstalker! Judith's voice was clear as a bell. When I was young, like 2nd or 3rd grade, my neighbors were big fans of folk music, like the Seekers and Peter Paul and Mary. I remember this song and grew to love the genre.

[@TheStarcruiser]

Too right, they don't make music like this anymore - I wish I had a time machine! Cheers from Australia☀🦘

[@cinemaipswich4636]

Judith's voice just can't be beat. Like Nat King Cole and Don McLean, she sings like it's no effort at all. Her range is superb.

[@diannaspang51]

I'm 70 years old. We had the best music. I love seeing young people discovering how great it was.

[@JaneDoe-se8ku]

Now you've taken me back to the good old days! I loved The Seekers then, Judith had the voice of an angel.

[@festidious2644]

Hi, Chad: It's such a joy to see someone who has never heard of the Seekers react to a group that we grew up on. It brought the tears. Your next song by them should be The Carnival Is Over. My favourite song by them is All Over The World from the Georgie Girl album but no reactor is ever going to do it. I would love for a reactor to compare the composer's version to the Seekers' version but that will never happen.

[@davesresorts]

This is the beginning of a relationship and their song the carnival is over is the end. Like alpha and omega. Rip Judith

[@markhill9275]

OK, this song was a HUGE number 1 for them. Take a second to appreciate the enormity of what they did. They knocked The Fab Four off number 1 in Britain, at the height of Beatlemania! They had a string of huge international hits, and a couple of number1's. Judith is held by many, of her peers as the greatest female voice ever. Oh, and they had only been in England under 6 months when this song blasted onto the charts. Written by Dusty Springfields brother, Tom. Their first Album also went number 1 internationally, keeping The Stones Goatshead Soup in number 2! One last thought, THAT little red dress, wow! Judith was an absolute gorgeous stunner!

[@JohnBebek]

We'll never find another you, Judith. RIP.

[@gabyehebrecht7435]

So glad you finally reacted to a song by "The Seekers". I asked for it many months ago. Judith Durham had an amazing voice!! There are so many more songs of them that are worth a reaction. I especially like " When the Carnival is over". And as I already mentioned earlier - THIS IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC.

[@stephaniebuie2750]

Great oldie!!! Just beautiful vocals and instrumentals!!

[@magpiegirl3783]

Judith's voice is stunning - of the ilk of a Karen Carpenter. Effortless, pitch perfect, warm. She was classically trained. The Seekers were HUGE in Australia but also were very successful on the international stage. Their harmonies, Judith's vocals and their beautiful instrumentation were their trade mark. RIP to our Judith.

[@markhill9275]

Karens voice lacked range, power, warmth, and even at times of pitch, sorry, she's nowhere near Judith.

[@kathwallace1811]

Grew up in the 60's some of the best bands, singers and music that will live forever. Each track The Seekers performed was stunning. Check out We are Australian

[@bethanyhuber2598]

Can’t help but think that if today’s kids had yesterday’s music things might be better… This brings back some warm memories. Thank you, Chad!

[@sjbict]

Recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios London where the Beatles and many others recorded.

[@markl3028]

Never grows old; simply & real musical talent, great harmony & Judith’s exquisite voice. Even up to their retirement from almost a decade ago, The Seekers have maintained that great distinctive sound. Listen early & often to The Seekers playlists.

[@annemccord2015]

Judith was amazing. Strong voice with the guys. She held her own.

As the old saying goes, “they don’t make ‘em like that anymore.” And there’s only one Judith Durham…beautiful voice, beautiful spirit.

Oh yes what a beautiful human she was

[@patrussell8917]

Public funeral was given to Judith Durham in melbourne her home town Clear voice and diction yet she suffered lung problems from an early times

[@sambesisky5517]

I love how Judith blends in and stands out at the same time. Her natural warm clear voice has so much quality in every aspect… It always touches me how she stands there so casually hands on her hips in her red 60dress. There’ll never be another Seekers😢

[@marilynmcgregor7810]

Judith was about 19 there and was 78 when she died and they were still performing in there 70s

[@donnasymons1872]

Hearing this again gives me goosebumps. 1964 was when I met my husband during my last year at school. This used to play on the jukebox at the coffee houses we used to go to, along with the Beatles, Stones, Manfred Mann, Hollies, the Animals etc.. My husband died some years ago now but I know I'll never find another him !

[@karish.6303]

I've come across The Seekers since first getting into old/older music. I'm pretty sure I listened to, at least, one of their songs before; I don't remember if I listened to more than that until just now or not. This is a sweet, beautiful song! This was a great marathon! I can't wait for our Bee Gees marathon next weekend!

[@troyanstone65]

RIP Judith Durham! I love her voice. If you like vulnerable, listen to Tolerate it by Taylor Swift or the whole Folklore album and Evermore album are sad really vulnerable with every emotion that are heartbreaking, amazing lyrics throughout.

[@johnbattles1002]

Please react to The Seekers number 1 song they were famous for "Georgy Girl"! Also "Morningtown Ride," "A World of Our Own," "The Carnival Is Over," "When Will the Good Apples Fall," "Danny Boy," "Love Is Kind," "Colors of My Life," and so many others!!

They formed in 1962 broke up in 1968 and reformed in 1993 until Judith Durham's passing in August 2022 , this song knocked the Beatles off number 1 in 1964 at the exact same studio Abbey Road in London they have many amazing Hits in later years they would do I Am Australian Co-written by Bruce Woodley of the seekers in 1988 before the reunited The Band is Judith Durham Athol Guy on the double base and Bruce Woodley and Keith Potger .

The very first time I heard I'll never find another you when i was a secondary school student. I heard it from a portable transistor radio at home on a Monday. It was from a BBC program called British or UK Top 20s on a SW band (Short Wave). The program was on every Monday then.

[@wisconsindoc3869]

I remember my parents listening to this. Sounds like the folk music that filled my home when I was a young child in the late 60s/early 70s. So many great folk singers at that time. Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, James Taylor, Carley Simon. I could totally get into a Weekend Folk Marathon! Wonderful reaction to end the weekend. Thank you

When I was young my dad played the heck out of The Seekers and New Seekers, as well as Peter Paul and Mary and a few others. That is if he could wrestle the record player from Mom with her Elvis and Beach Boys records. This was my favorite of all their songs and I still play it sometimes when the mood strikes. I'm glad you like it. Good commentary.😀

Hey man where are you from dude, you sound american, we are in the UK all the way down wolverhampton my friend. Anyway really love your reaction, i wish this music would come back, cause most of todays music is crap to say the least. HEY buddy you said your mom could play, that's cool my man. And you also asked can anyone else out there do three or 4 things at the same time. WEll my friend i can play the keyboard's two at the same time, And sing, I play drums and piano, the Accordion, Xylophone, I can play the organ, Ive done backup singing in bands. and i also play guitar, I just love music, it takes you to another land my man. And boy can Judith Durham sing, What a voice, Not one wrong note, Pitch perfect, Not many singers if any can sing and sound as good as the record, The whole band was really tight. and now they have there voices cheated on a computer, Well some of it it might sound good, but that's not real music bro. i think your channel is great, keep up the good work mate. Before i go, Could you listen to the 1965 live version of unchained melody the righteous brothers. It's AWSOME mate, All i can say about it is, Goose bumps buddy. and the carnival is over, the seekers, thanx pall, paul&sue UK.

[@keithbate9405]

Hi Paul I also live in Wolverhampton and being born in the 1950's remember this great music the first time around. But there is plenty of wonderful music around today eg listen to "America " by London Grammar , "Oblivions " by the National or "a long time ago" by First Aid Kit .

[@alanoakley3242]

Judith Durham had an exceptional voice. A jazz ballad singer at heart, she took a chance as a youngster and joined these folk guys on a cruise ship gig to England, which led to all their lives changing forever. Most of their hits were written by Dion O'Brien, aka Tom Springfield - Dusty's brother. Tom and Dusty were two-thirds of folk trio, The Springfields, before Dusty Springfield left to pursue a career singing Soul and RnB ballads. So it's like Judith and Dusty did a house swap.

[@susieq9801]

Loved Dusty all to bits and she died too young as did so many from that era. Powerful voice.

[@jaimecruz5199]

Judith's voice is very beautiful as well as her personality. The song tells us about not leaving someone's company without giving their name, however the song tells us that it tells us about the promised land and that it doesn't matter if she loses everything since what she cannot lose is who accompanies her. It refers to Jesus and some consider the song a gospel.

[@kuvasz5252]

My favorite song, esp with Judith Durham's voice. One song that might reach up to the emotions of this song is "Every River" but not the Brooks and Dunn version, but the one from the original composer, Kim Richey on her first album. The band is the A Team of Nashville studio artists and the aforementioned song's lyrics are akin to that of the "I never find another you." Every River chorus When the day comes that I don't love you Every star will fall out of the sky And every mountain will tumble down And every river run dry [Verse 2] Every drop of rain That ever touched the ground For every tear that ever fell And never made a sound I'll be there To hear you call And I'll be there to catch you baby Should you ever fall
