    If I could only have one group to listen to for the rest of my life. The Seekers would be the one group for me, I'm turning 70 this month and I've listened to and loved their music since I first heard them. They are like fine wine,they get better as time goes by. Love their music, almost makes me wishj I was Australian. Long live the Seekers.

      I’m turning 18, and I didn’t discover this group until after Judith’s passing. I grew up on Morning Town Ride and Georgy Girl, but I didn’t know who sang them. Now I can’t imagine not having them in my life! Rest In Peace Judith❤️

I’m sure she would love to hear that they are still being discovered years later and to enjoy the music.

    I can't think of another group capable of debuting a new song, 35 years after they first got together, that blends so seamlessly with all their previous hits, yet still manages to sound "contemporary".
    The Seekers are unique with a timeless style that crosses time, boundaries and generations. Their songs have depth and meaning that will endure long after other contemporary songs are forgotten.

    Judith epitomised everything that was great about the swinging 60's. She had the most beautiful unmistakable voice ever heard on record, TV, radio or live. She was drop dead gorgeous without even trying. Flat heels, minimal make-up, covered from neck to knees but swaying from side to side, hands on hips, while recording "I'll never find another you" at the Abbey Road studios was a master class to any current wannabee. Talent & class always beats computer aided dross.
    Those of us who lived with the music of The Seekers were so lucky and will now have to make do with the countless opportunities available on social media to relive those times.
    Try this one for starters - ua-cam.com/video/wZf41UudAbI/v-deo.html
    RIP Judith, & thanks for the ride Athol, Bruce and Keith.

    Judith Durham's vocals are simply angelic on this song. She and the Seekers were so spectacular and so underrated as musicians. One of the best bands of all time and such professional performers of a bygone era. Their music is timeless and so relaxing and gives such an uplifting feeling of tranquility in this harsh World. They Save the World with their ease of performing and sensual deep meaning ballads. Calming yet authentic.

One thing I feel for certain is there's a reason why we are all here but also there's a reason why we all leave.

I've never heard popular music that can lift the spirits like their music can. No three boys ever made square look so cool and no woman ever made modest look so sexy. They will reunite (last time?) to open for Andre Rieu in October across Australia. If you see that live, you will be truly blessed. Thank god for Video so I can keep them forever young,

    It will be a sad day for the world when those four go to the far shore forever.

      However, their music will live on forever! I know I will not stop listening to them for the rest of my life.

    Absolutely stunning song - can't believe I didn't hear this before 7th May when we saw the Seekers together live in Brighton .The guys and Judith still have the magic together on stage and this is a wonderful addition to their more recent catalogue of great songs. The harmonies are just as good as 1965 and Judith you still have the most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Talent like this will never die, fabulous!

      The Seekers are as good as ever, they really are and I could listen to them all day, I am going to recommend them to Douglas Henshall, he will fall in love with Judith Durham and her voice, as anyone could not!

    She has a sense of being in love with every note.

    Its so nice to see so many people appreciate really good music, unlike the trash you now hear everyday. No compliment will adequately describe what efect that little girl with that tremendous voice had on a 17 year old soldier in the jungles of vietnam in the sixties. Nothing much good was comming out of America at that time, but thank God for Austraila. She was Americas sweetheart and my only connection to the "real world". Thanks Judy, for making my world a lot better place to live in.
