    Only once in a century a voice is elevated above all the others...that was Judith. Magnificent.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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. ❤️

    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.
