This was a TV special the Seekers did. Here they recreate the recording session they did for this song in London England in Abbey Road Studios, for the TV show, the same place the Beatles did almost all of their recording for EMI Parlophone Records [in the USA Capital Records]. this is not the actual recording session, they lip sync and play along with their recording. They are from Australia. The late Judith Durham, lead singer, had such beautiful an instantly recognizable voice. If anew Seekers came on the radio unannounced, you would recognize her voice instantly. She could also play piano. She passed away August 5, 2022 (age 79 years). Probably the best female folk singer voice in the world, and the Seekers as group were among the the top five folk groups in the world IMO. Fabulous sound!!!!

Her flawless voice is nearly indistinguishable from what it is in this video. But if you really, really want to be impressed, find her singing this same song, again, on their fiftieth (!) reunion. She is obviously frail, and needs to sit for her performance. But that voice, with all its perfect pitch, crystal clarity, and astonishing power is still there.

Its hard to contemplate that the Seekers went to Britain as an unknown group originally for 10 weeks, singing on a shp in exchange for their passage. Tm and Dusty Springfield were in the UK at the time and Tom liked their sound and wrote the song. The BBC did not play unknown performers so it was only because of offshore radio stations, particularly Radio Caroline. The group was surprised to hear they had reached number one on the British charts. It often amzes me how beautiful Judiths voice was because she had a life long lung condition following childhood measles.
