I don’t think in the whole world there has been a singing voice to compare with the late great Judith Durham. Truly the voice of an angel. RIP, Judith Durham.

Big call Gazza.

I fell in love with Judith in the mid 60s...now in my mid 70s I have ever felt any reason to fall out again. Voice, demeanour and all round beautiful woman. Thanks Judith R.I.P

[@markbrown4039]

Sadly, the carnival is over. But her voice will endure forever. RIP Judith Durham.

RIP JUDITH DURHAM

[@davidfletcher452]

As you say what a beautiful legacy. There's a lot of snobbery in music and when I talk about bands , singers etc , people laugh when I say I love the seekers but I am not ashamed to say so .in my humble opinion I thought they were great.

Michael Not only one tear - a Lot of tears.....

[@philipdowns6723]

One of the best records ever I think

[@dingopisscreek]

Rest In Peace Judith. Her voice was amazing. As flawless live as it was on record. In fact if you were blind you wouldn.t be able to tell the difference between the two. The harbour lights have called her and she loved us 'til she died. Thank you Judith for the music and your incredible voice and sharing both with us. My deepest sympathies go to her family and to Keith, Athol and Bruce.

[@chriscoghlan692]

It was a free concert as part of Melbourne's annual Moomba fesival. The date was Sunday March 12th 1967 and it attracted the largest crowd to ever gather in the Southern Hemisphere, estimated to be approximately 250,000. Melbourne's population at the time was 2.5 million.@@ianaldridge4778

[@simpleagain1]

Wow! Look how far away she is from the microphone. What a powerful cutting voice

[@Derwentcub]

Very rarely a song comes out which eclipses all the rest. It stays in your mind; it is full of emotion. Everyone can relate to an event in their lives when they hear this. What an emotional masterpiece. Rest in peace, Judith and thank you for the music x

Among artists there are a handful that will be listened to forever. I believe some of Judith Durhams´s renditions will make her immortal.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

RIP Judith. I grew up listening to you. Thank you for your cherished memories.

[@joecaprani5772]

I was so sad to hear that Judith died. I was blessed to see them perform twice when I thought I'd never be so lucky to ever hear them. I managed to get tickets for both their 25th and 50th anniversary tour concerts and saw them in the Royal Albert Hall in London on both occasions and I cried very happy tears both times. Judith had a pure, sweet but strong voice, a rare combination. Their harmonies as a group are wonderful as well and they are all consummate musicians. But what a talent Judith was. God bless you, Judit, rest in peace.

[@user-sg2co7kr1r]

Me too...I also heard that Judith Durham

[@user-sg2co7kr1r]

I was there with you for their 50th, went with a Kiwi mate, all our peers thought we were mad, what a night. Loved it when they sang Puff the Magic Dragon. We had the last laugh.

Wow, brings tears to my eyes. Judith and the Seekers were by far my favorite group of that era.

[@catcha1-c6f]

Miss Judith. What a great voice she had, thankfully her and the other Seekers music lives on.

[@chriscoghlan692]

By far my favourite group of any decade. Love the haunting way this song begins to set the somber mood of two lovers having to part forever. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it knowing two carnivals are over. The growing up in Melbourne, Australia in the 1960s and Judith's passing.

[@oweblidh2248]

The Seekers was my favorites in the Sixties. Judith's voice is the clearest and most wonderful I know. It's sad to read that she's gone. RIP.

I read in the Internet encyclopaedia Wikipedia that this Seekers song “The Carnival Is Over” is often played in Australia at the end of many of their national events. DESERVEDLY SO!. This is an absolutely wonderful song and The Seekers are a national treasure. As for the late Judith Durham I’ll just repeat what just about everyone says. She had greatest, most stunningly beautiful voice in history of recorded sound, and probably before that. I utterly adore listening to Judith sing anything and thank heavens we so many recordings of her.

Dear Judith, thanks for all the wonderful songs and joy you gave us, now the Carnival is defenitly over, R.I.P.

[@simonwadsworth9402]

What an amazing voice and band. I love The Carnival is Over. This takes me back to my early childhood, years, when I used to listen to the seekers, from 1963 onwards. I feel a flood of emotion, because your music is so beautiful, and you were such a lovely Christian, with your Gospel Songs. Thank you Judith and to the rest of your wonderful band. I was deeply saddened to hear of your death last Friday 5th August. You are with Jesus and your Husband, now, though, Judith. I would love to meet you in Heaven when I die, or, are Raptured by Jesus. RIP Judith, Goodnight Angel. ❤️

[@simonwadsworth9402]

Thank you so much this is greatly appreciated. God bless you.

[@chriscoghlan692]

I often think the same way and also as a Christian feel a joy for Judith knowing she is in Heaven with Jesus. God certainly blessed her with such a beautiful voice and she used it for him.
