gotta say as an aussie i'm a little surprised at how good this is ,which includes the feel [as smooth as,and the ability to be at one with the voice ;how many hours would that take ,on top of the extremely gifted musicality ] of the band .i thought only ella could really do this justice . but this is exceptional . this rendition is one of the GREAT ones of this classic. i hope this is recognised as the treasure it is and stored in the vault somewhere .as one of our riches to boast about and for those that come after . AND to share with the rest of the world .
There is no end to this girls vocal and piano talents. Perfection in everything she does. It is a rare talent indeed and I for one am spellbound by it.
Beautiful! Not a trace of an accent. Sung as though she came from The South (of USA). She can sing anything! George would have been impressed. God Bless Judith Durham!
If by some magic George Gershwin were alive and listening to this, he would rise up in his chair and very passionately proclaim.....Yes!...Yes!... This is EXACTLY what I had in mind!!!
Is there anything this Lady can't sing ? Sorry , silly question ,of course not .Isn't she just Wonderful ? Nicely accompanied too. Many Thanks Rich. Martin
No, I don't think there's anything she _can't_ sing. However, I think there might be some things she _wouldn't_ sing: punk and rap, for example, I suspect she might not _want_ to, even though she'd do them justice were she to try. Though some things she might not be able to do because she'd be _too good_ - some kinds of music are best done by those of limited ability.
A "Spiritual Pause"! "Summer's come. The fish are jumping." "Story & Sound"...by Judith Durham! Composer: George Gershwin. Please refer to: "Northern Lights" on Jan Marsh's site - Judith Durham. (An Easy Listening - Rock Spiritual)
Another stunning vocal performance by Judith, what an amazing range she has, I think this jazz number really appeals to her style of music and one she seems perfectly suited to. Does anyone know where Wrokdown is in Australia? Thanks for this brilliant posting, sublime!
Wrokdown is/was on community TV in Melbourne. Most of the programmes are now on You tube. Guitarist is Mike Rudd and the late Bill Putt on bass both former members of Spectrum. They had a great hit song, I'll Be Gone. Not sure of the other guys. The artist is generally interviewed on Wrokdown, look for it.

Great at 26 years old. Unbelievable at 66. No one can even come close to her.
A single program with Gershwins music like this touring around America would be enough to get her all the recognition she always deserved over there
Still a beautiful lady. Beautiful on the inside and out. The voice of an angel. What a class act.

Still the top class singer of all time. Like a Pulman Train, a higher class than the rest
Happy Birthday Judith - 3 July 1943 - I wish for many more years of beautiful music such as this ... may god continue to bless you
Her voice has the smoothness of the purest silk.
Or, for this one, the finest whisky.
I managed to see JD solo in concert twice and with The Seekers on four separate occasions. Would have LOVED to have been in the audience for THIS one!
Up for a million views for this special lady
Judith and Summertime are the equal to each other, what a great lady she is. I doubt anyone can surpass her.
( Beautifully) Recording jazz since she was 19.
Judith continues to amaze me - loved for over 50 years, in fact since 1959.
If I want to be happy, I need just to hear Judith singing! So beautiful!
Love this! Judith's left us such a legacy.❤
Just how good is this lady?
If by some magic George Gershwin were alive and listening to this, he would rise up in his chair and very passionately proclaim.....Yes!...Yes!... This is EXACTLY what I had in mind!!!
Just fabulous liquid chocolate notes.
Breathtaking, as always.
RIP The Voice
S'Wonderful!
That voice 💗
Oooh, lovely.

Judith can sing anything better than anyone else. I'm in awe.
just WONDERFUL!
Dear Judith. How was it possible for you to once believe that you were not Good Lookin. You are absolutely fabulous and always have been
A lifetime is not enough for the love you inspire Judith

You can tell she loved to sing Jazz

She was singing this style when she was a teen, before she joined the Seekers.
Wish i could bottle it.
Unforgettable. Both song and Judith Durham are CLASSICS!
Can you take it away I wonder?
