Brilliant.memories still living thankyoux

What a wonderfull voice Judith has. Every song sounds better when Judith sings it!

[@kafrose1]

I lived in Idaho during the time The Seekers were popular. For some reason, I never heard any of their music except for Georgy Girl. I have 50+ years to catch up on! Love their music.

[@geoffm9944]

A timeless classic! The beautiful, angelic voice of Judith Durham, which still brings a tear to my eye. Such a talented lady!

[@JRobbySh]

A wonderful rendition!

[@josephvargo6123]

There are two categories of female singers. There’s Judith and there’s everybody else!

[@AllensTrains]

In late 1965 I was 10 years old. I am now 65 and The Seekers are still going! Many of the songs The Seekers sang provided the sound-track to my life. In all that time my children have grown up and had children of their own, and their children have had children too. I have still got my Seekers records and Judith's crystal clear voice with perfect diction is the perfect antidote to the modern world with its Uber Taxis and Facebook!

[@derekwyse9568]

The best female singer I have ever heard

[@MrSpeakerman]

They are so talented

[@marcob4630]

A wonderful group indeed!

[@MrSpeakerman]

Sublime voice

[@jimmylouie3849]

Judith has an excellent voice and is the right lead singer for the Seekers.

[@davidreed1995]

What a voice this great lady can sing anything iove this band tom springfield wrote great songs like he did with springfields like island of dreams which the seekers recorded too love both bands

[@osvaldoschilling9129]

Rich, with your work you have allowed a new generation of men all around the world to fall in love with Judith.

[@thomasgeddes4817]

Never heard this before. Thanks for posting. Wonderful.

[@dirkhuesken2226]

THE GREATEST GROUP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

[@johnschuh8616]

About that break she took, That was a warning that she was feeling lots of pressure.

[@osvaldoschilling9129]

judiths repertoire, voice quality, interpretation, are all tuned together to their utmost level in this bbc radio performance.

[@hpw-ws6bj]

Played the piano pretty good too.

[@Proculled]

I guess this is so unplugged as we can get it.So wonderful song by Judith here on the carnival.Gave me a shiver down my spine.Phil

[@paulclayton745]

Thanks great to hear

[@PeterPanQuails]

Judith's voice when she spoke was so different to when she sang. Wow.

[@JRobbySh]

She was a young girl there.

[@ziggystardust52]

@@JRobbySh, girl might be stretching it. But not by much. She was about 21-22 here.

Fantastic

Rich Thanks for this post!!! THE BEST GROUP EVER

"Carnival" mit Orgel - auch schön! Auch das Bild gefällt mir gut!

[@IsaacSTS98]

vfb2020 Eine Übersetzung der Wörter. Schreiben Sie, was Sie darüber denken. Sag jetzt tschüs mein eigner Lieber, als ich unser Lied singe. Wie schmerzt es mich es zu sagen, Dass der Karneval ginge. Im Himmel beginnt der Morgen, und ich weine wie Regen. Ja der Karneval ist vorbei. Werde ich dich wieder sehen? Mein Herz schlug wie eine Trommeln, und dein Kuss, so süß wie Wein. Liebe muss doch sehr früh enden für Pierrot und Columbine. Jetzt sehe ich die Hafenlichte.. Letztes Mal, das ich dich sehe. Ja der Karneval ist vorbei. Ich liebe dich noch immer.

[@vfb2020]

Ganz gut, aber auch verbesserungsfähig. Z.B. könnte man "How it breaks my heart to leave you, now the carnival is gone" mit "Wie schmerzt es mich (oder Mir bricht das Herz), dich zu verlassen, nun, da der Karneval vorbei ist" übersetzen.

[@IsaacSTS98]

vfb2020 Danke schön.

This programme would have aired on the BBCs Light Programme. BBC radio offerings at this time (1965) consisted of the Home Service, the Light Programme and the imaginatively named Third Programme. Radios 1 to 4 branding arrived in September 1967, when Radio 1 was first on air.

[@stewartfenton7660]

Lyndon, if I hadn't heard Brian announce this show, I wouldn't have believed the title, "Top of the Pops." I don't remember the show at all. How could they have been allowed to use the same title as the famous TV show, also on the BBC? And how could I have not known about it? (Don't answer that).

[@MrSpeakerman]

Glory to them all

[@steppenwolf53]

Didn’t England have a TV show called The Top of the Pops during the 60’s as well.

[@ralphschon1100]

Whoever accompanied Judith singing "What have they done to the rain" should have rehearsed the chords a bit more.

[@rubenjames7345]

I think they were using the Benny Hill theme song as their intro. Judith had "nervous exhaustion"? Is that like The Vapours? I thought that was what Bronte heroines got? An "operation on my nerves"? Do I even want to know what that is?

[@grimTales1]

I always thought Yakkety Sax was the Benny Hill theme song ;)

[@johnking6550]

Judith was only 22 at this point and may have become a little overwhelmed by such sudden success and the unexpected demands and pressure that it brings. Their initial trip to the UK was intended for fun and sightseeing with a few gigs to help pay their way and maybe sell some of their W&G records. I don't think they had the slightest idea things were going to rapidly morph into something so huge. jtk

[@franciswright6578]

Operation on her nose.

[@Flatscreening]

@@grimTales1 The Top of the Pops intro music sounds as if it was written by James Q. "Spider" Rich and Boots Randolph who wrote Yakety [sic] Sax.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Nervous exhaustion, same thing as the more common term Nervous breakdown... severe anxiety. Which i suffered from for about a year, and have recovered from..absolutely horrible experience.

[@gloriapower5254]

Unfortunately, they sound as though they are singing through a tin can. What a shame that someone would do that to this group of great voices.

[@Flatscreening]

But you could HEAR EVERY WORD they sang!!!
