Listening to the iconic The Seekers today remembering Judith and her powerful and amazing voice as all of the "boys" as she called them have. I most appreciate the way The Seekers always promoted beautiful Australia and its wonders to be appreciated, the way it was. Unfortunately, our Australia is not the same now and even more so by the sad loss of the wonderful talent of Judith Durham.

Dear Judith Durham in Heaven forever and ever RIP with angels and Jesus Christ

[@pathunterdohner9052]

Our church choir sang this song. It is one of my favorites.

[@alistairross4317]

This beautiful song is an earworm. Everytime I hear it, it is in my head for months. No bad thing!

[@FullersDuck]

This music is the soundtrack of my childhood. Every song is utter joy. The musicianship and the harmonies are excellent, and Judith Durham’s voice... it’s like an angel is kissing my ears. I’ve listened to half a dozen songs tonight and there are happy tears streaming down my face.

[@deslynnsporne8684]

A beautiful song, Bruce Woodley has a lovely voice as well as Judith Durham. They all have fine voices. I have loved the Seekers since I was a young girl in school.

[@Tawadeb]

Lemon Tree is so pretty too

[@sherbetbomb3276]

I love how Judith is in long sleeves, and there all in shorts. 😂 very sun safe, smart of Judith. I’ve never seen this video, I like it.

[@maxwellfan55]

So 60's. The seekers seemed to have everything.

[@jamesvanderpool9164]

The Seekers have given the World so much joy. A beautiful blend of voices.

So rich and beautiful. I love this music and couldn't be more grateful for the Seekers. They are wonderful musicians and wonderful people as well.

So many versions...this is the BEST.....

[@lindalessels3858]

Judith .................lovely voice..............great range

[@billbright1755]

She takes but a bit of air, food, and water, and gives the world such beauty. That is Judith Durham.

[@MajorWolfgangHochstetter]

You have a way with words; very Bright, Bill!

Bill Bright: Reminds me of a butterfly I saw today.

[@klavsrommedahl1810]

I really love his voice, it is just so nice to listen to.

[@zipperedlizzard5065]

Listened to them all morning, but this one got me, finally burst into tears. Good tears. There're never be another you.

[@Littlebird50]

Me too.

[@janepang484]

THE SEEKERS💖👸🕺👬🌟🤩 Great!🎼🎵🎹🎸🎻🎤📀👍👏 From Hong Kong🙋‍♀️🌏💝🌺🥰

[@barryh.4220]

They sing this brilliantly here , but they way they sing and present it on the 'special farewell video' is haunting and truly exceptional.

[@terahoubicka]

Happy people living in countries where sea is well available. It's a lifelong dream of mine to sail like this... I'm afraid it will never happen.

[@moaningminnie7863]

Each and everyone is talented and good singers.

[@lr4428]

Well over 50 years ago and it's the 1st time I've seen this , brilliant video and the song is musical perfection

[@markgriffiths8601]

Beautiful

[@paulmaguire1455]

great song the group fantastic guitar piece brilliant

[@hocheekeong2575]

It's still one of my most favourite songs of The Seekers even though it's not their own song originally. Because they sing this song with their own version is very fascinating and charming indeed, to me.

[@MajorWolfgangHochstetter]

Who is singing? Bruce?

[@deslynnsporne8684]

Yes, it is Bruce Woodley singing.

[@timflatus]

I still sing it. It's a Scottish folk song, originally called "O Waly Waly", Cecil Sharp collected it from Somerset. I daresay The Seekers got it from Pete Seeger. It's a beautiful version which I've known since early childhood

[@marcelasantander7457]

Bruce Woodley`s LOVELY voice1

[@mattharrington1000]

Brilliant old video!!

[@Nostrojanus]

Nicely done! It's a pity so few can appreciate this glorious type of music anymore.

[@richardtattersall647]

brilliant sound quality, I love the seekers the voice of angels! ;-}

[@juliantoon8732]

as a kiwi i never liked oz much but i have to say this group gave me so many nice happy memories of growing up in the 1960s. they were truly great Australian musicians and judith had the most beautiful voice i will always remember them. thank you for the memories

[@rogbrown1458]

Always brings a tear to my eye this beautiful rendition.first saw the seekers( a fleeting glimpse) at Keith potgers wedding in early 1966.saw them in concert in the early 2000s. Rip Judith. Rog. Pacific sunset records.

[@skoolguardian]

I'm working now and at the same time listening to this song. It's beautiful and relaxing.

Beautiful song and beautiful video. Like them both.

[@MrSpeakerman]

Glorious band

[@billbright1755]

Though the miles come between us, My heart is always with you Judith. Bill. The water is wide my Love.

[@Littlebird50]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@DianneBarca]

I remember singing this at a school concert with my friend, Adrea. I imagined I was Judith, well, I wished I was. Such a beautiful voice and wistful song!

[@MajorWolfgangHochstetter]

And she has a very innocent beauty!

[@deborahlucas2282]

A lovely memory. Thanks for sharing. Hope you’re well.

[@complexlittlepirate3589]

Rich, your work on these videos is just so great, so tasteful, the way you put them together, it's truly beautiful. Your feeling and true love for the music and for the group really shines through. I thank you with all my heart. The only other thing that I must get off my chest here and now is that Keith Potger is my heart throb of all time. That's all, thank you and good evening.

[@rich963]

Thanks! Love your name :-)

[@hedwegg]

Great welcoming video to Australia. Nice job, Rich. Resounding "color & sound" quality. None better.

[@martavaldebenito4392]

Desde el Fin del Mundo De Chile Son cantantes PERFECTOS Nadie se cansa escuchando su Música. Es emocionante escucharle Gracias por la oportunidad que nos han dado de verles y escharles.

[@robertstrugnell7842]

This track comes from their first LP record studio recording actually in England with this amazing rich orchestral backing of Bobby Richards conductor...that was used with such ethereal arrangement. The original album was called Hide and Seekers..but can now be found included on The Seekers 5 cd box set called the Seekers Complete..

[@EtzEchad]

What a beautiful boat.

[@ryanrush6982]

Great!

[@stephenrandall5052]

fantastic

[@juanantoniofuentesgarcia7037]

Esta canción es una inmensidad. Una versión maravillosa. La escucho una y mil veces. ❤❤❤❤

[@skoolguardian]

Yo la escucho y lloro pues veo mi vida reflejada en ella.

[@davidberdahl4736]

Thank you for this

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks again

[@StellarFella]

Judith was playing the role so well, but she was so empty and unfulfilled inside. She had to get on with her life in some important key areas. Just saw the movie about Judy Garland and I thank God Judith Durham did not resort to drugs and alcohol like she did. There is still so much more she can do in the recording studio although she is a long distance away from Abbey Roads Studio.

[@carolricucci1330]

I just discovered this one a couple of minutes ago. Absolutely magnificent vocals. Do you know of a version of this that was videotaped?

[@notsohandytim5090]

Ok...turn your head when I turn mine. Ok...turn back again.

[@jongowan3277]

Looks like fun if you don’t get 😷 being out. In the waters

[@Juuxr]

Who is singing, Athol or Bruce? Love Athol and all of them... He and Judith seems to be very close :)

[@STEELY3000]

I'm pretty sure that's Bruce. I would love to hear Judith singing it though.

[@terahoubicka]

I also think it's Bruce.

[@stucumins8511]

Ana J. Bruce Woodley

[@arielsea9087]

I agree Athol and Judith were very close. Just like a big brother taking care of his sister. He was there to assist her at all times.
