WOW! A live Angel loaned down to this planet to bring everyone to the lord! A voice that will never be replicated as only an Angel can produced such beautiful sounds!
Magnificent is not good enough to describe this lovely lady's voice. Listening to Judith makes one feel so close to God and believe. Such a voice can only be heaven sent.
Sad to hear that this Wonderful Australian singer has now passed away a day or so ago on the 6th August, 2022.. She was so very versatile with her songs, and a fabulous voice. Rest In Peace Judith. We will miss you.
Unbelievable......still after all these years that angelic voice. That group with the right management and care could have bridged pop,folk,country and gospel music....something no other group has ever done. True, Judith was the focal point but the boys complimented her greatly I always thought very much like the boys in We Five complimented Beverly Bivens. The Lord surely hath given her a heavenly gift.Hope to hear Judith in the heavenly choir someday. Will you all be lifted up in the rapture?
They were bloody brilliant in their time and still are today then music has the words to describe how much it’s so good shame they’ve retired I’d love to go to one of their concerts once again and hear her sing again🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sure does one's heart good to hear this superb voice singing the Lord's music! How does such a powerful voice come from such a tiny lil woman? I had a crush on her as a teen in the '60's! Can still see her shy little smile in the early days when she would finish a song and the audience would applaud. May the Good Lord always walk with her and bless her for the blessing she gave us in song!
judith,one of the champs on this one . Chrystal clear ,incredible diction, THEN that INDEFINABLE quality that sets apart the GREAT from the good something like the ability to convey through her to us , the spirit behind the words which connects with our heart . very few can do that .joe cocker did it with "you are so beautiful "
In my opinion, (& more or less everybody else’s) no singer in the history of recorded sound walks closer with god or Jesus than this magnificent singer Judith Durham. Judging by the sheer volume of comments singing her praises I am absolutely certain that her singing has given more pleasure to more people than any other person alive or dead. THANK GOD FOR JUDITH DURHAM & THE SEEKERS!.
this album came out in a time of my life when I was high on life...I loved driving my Toyota up to Tincup and over red mountain pass, the rolls of freshly harvested hay in the fields outside ouray...I never found the one to share her life with me, and now I am stage 4 renal cancer...but I remember when...thank you Mr Deutchsendorf for the memories 😎
As a citizen of Northern Ireland may I just say that this lady is such a precious jewel. You should be rightly proud of Judith (and the other Seekers). Wonderful ambassadors for Australia.
Wonderful woman! What a gift! This is a very beautiful rendition. I had not heard of her until recently after she passed away and now I realize she was a beautiful person. RIP lovely lady!
I just finished listening to Judith singing Just. closer walk with thee for the first time. Thinking what a beautiful version and her voice flawless when you tube played a cruel joke. If you wait too long after the song has finished UA-cam will automatically play another song. This time it was Maharlia Jackson and Louis Armstrong sing Just a closer walk with thee. The Queen of soul and the King of Jazz. Two completely different versions and two wonderful versions. Rest In Peace. Judith, Maharlia and Louis
Judith, you are an angel. Saw the Seekers this year in Nottingham, and she sang this - Awesome! Wish I could go again------------and again-------------and again!
I've long cherished this song sung by Ottilie Patterson on a vinyl recording bought back in the fifties, and until now thought that to be the best rendition of this song, but I've just watched this video, and it moistened my eyes a bit. Don't get me wrong I still love Ottilie's voice, but I think Judith has the edge.
wonderful contrast between the tuba ( synthesizer ? ) , and this voice...........pure genius .Thanks , I come back to to this concert often . Some things do indeed get better with time , Judith's voice is one . I must confess that I didn't give a hoot for the Seekers back in the day , count my taste in truly beautiful music as another thing that grew some with age .
Judith Durham, thank you for touching our souls with your Godly passion poured out on us generously through your singing voice and your loving radiation. Thanks to the Seekers too for writing precious songs that are a joy to listen to. God bless you all.
Judith feels and understands every word she sings. It's amazing. You can see it in her eyes. In singing for large audiences, she is doing what God intended for her. She holds her audiences in rapt attention. She is simply amazing.
Heaven gained another one. RIP Judith Durham (2022)
Let's get a million views for this special lady
"Just a Closer Walk with Thee" by Judith Durham is special!!
Gosh, how beautiful she sings this song.
This woman has so much talent that I have ever seen in my life - What a VOICE!!!!
WOW! A live Angel loaned down to this planet to bring everyone to the lord! A voice that will never be replicated as only an Angel can produced such beautiful sounds!
Magnificent is not good enough to describe this lovely lady's voice. Listening to Judith makes one feel so close to God and believe. Such a voice can only be heaven sent.
That’s very well said, @barfuzzface, and I completely agree!.
Have to agree
I don't know Judith, but it seems to me like she's doing more than just singing words here. Amazing Performance.
Sad to hear that this Wonderful Australian singer has now passed away a day or so ago on the 6th August, 2022.. She was so very versatile with her songs, and a fabulous voice. Rest In Peace Judith. We will miss you.
With Joy, Love, and sadness. An angel with an angel's voice. Rest in peace, Judith.
Judith Durham was an Australian national treasure.
Such an angelic voice. None can compare with you, Judith.
I just lost a close friend...every night I sign off with Ms Durham; leaves me in tears every time. A perfect, lovely rendition.
Sorry for your loss Dan, peace
She has perfect pitch to go along with her wonderful voice, so many singers lack this. Lovely lady all round.🤗🎼🇬🇧🇦🇺
RIP Judith Durham....What a singer...what a voice 😢 !!
THE greatest song by a woman. EVER!!
The greatest SINGER ever!
I just listened to her 1966 version!! this is even better. Wonderful star
I grew up in the 60s listening to the seekers lucky me
God gave us Judith and her voice to bring us closer to Him by the songs of Love and passion. Blessings Rev Jack
Was Judith a born again Christian?
Unbelievable......still after all these years that angelic voice. That group with the right management and care could have bridged pop,folk,country and gospel music....something no other group has ever done. True, Judith was the focal point but the boys complimented her greatly I always thought very much like the boys in We Five complimented Beverly Bivens. The Lord surely hath given her a heavenly gift.Hope to hear Judith in the heavenly choir someday. Will you all be lifted up in the rapture?
She's still so beautiful. And her magnificent voice is still with her.
It hasn't diminished.
The purity of that magnificent voice is undimmed - perfection
Judith is one of the most impressive stage artists of all times. Her stage presence and voice are just magical.
This performance alone will guarantee her place in heaven
Brings tears to my eyes to see someone who has been so obviously blessed by the Lord, using that talent to Praise Him.
Yes so true!
Judith is the closest thing to perfection in this world.
I want this version played at my funeral. Hope you all sing along.
I think I have laundry to do, unfortunately.
What a voice and talent. Every time I hear her she brings back fond memories. A true star.
They were bloody brilliant in their time and still are today then music has the words to describe how much it’s so good shame they’ve retired I’d love to go to one of their concerts once again and hear her sing again🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
It takes a very special singer to make this old favourite sound so fresh.
one of the few singers who sends a shiver done my spine, and makes my hair stand on end!

This video is a treasure. Judith has an angelic voice and it is almost impossible to find this song without the distracting background chorus.
Wow. What a wonderful rendition. This lady has SO much talent which is matched by her delightful personality. Wish there were more like her
The voice hasn't diminished, at all. A beautiful Gospel rendition!
Sure does one's heart good to hear this superb voice singing the Lord's music! How does such a powerful voice come from such a tiny lil woman? I had a crush on her as a teen in the '60's! Can still see her shy little smile in the early days when she would finish a song and the audience would applaud. May the Good Lord always walk with her and bless her for the blessing she gave us in song!
What a fantastic voice, and way of singing!
Sublime and beautiful!! Thank you Judith and God bless you
she just gets better what a voice
A BEAUTIFUL SONG,A MAGNIFICENT VOICE,A TRUE AUSTRALIAN ICON.MAY GOD BLESS JUDITH.

What a fine Australian this beautifull lady is, and her voice still clear as crytal, every Australian should be so proud that she is one of ours.
Oh, I am!
As a citizen of Northern Ireland may I just say that this lady is such a precious jewel. You should be rightly proud of Judith (and the other Seekers). Wonderful ambassadors for Australia.
Superb rendering of a classic song
Wow! That's the range of her voice.
Brilliant and nice

As long as there is breath in my lungs I will listen every day to this living legend. She zaps me greatly.

OH LORD THANK YOU FOR GIVING US SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE
This was my mum's favourite song - Judith's voice is pure magic - Love you Judith
mines mahalia Jackson. love it when she lets rip
Judith's 'Summertime' (hidden away here) is well worth a click. Recorded in her mid 60's it is another stellar performance from this amazing vocalist.
I just finished listening to Judith singing Just. closer walk with thee for the first time. Thinking what a beautiful version and her voice flawless when you tube played a cruel joke. If you wait too long after the song has finished UA-cam will automatically play another song. This time it was Maharlia Jackson and Louis Armstrong sing Just a closer walk with thee. The Queen of soul and the King of Jazz. Two completely different versions and two wonderful versions. Rest In Peace. Judith, Maharlia and Louis
Judith is the greatest.Such a wonderful human being who thankfully has shared her gift with us for so many years. Thank you dear Judith.
brilliant voice and gifted performer. This is a star, not manufactured but earned from talent and hard work perfecting her craft. Excellent
A time long gone...humble, demur, and incredibly talented.
WOW!!!!!! The best version, bar none!!!!!!
Judith, you are an angel. Saw the Seekers this year in Nottingham, and she sang this - Awesome! Wish I could go again------------and again-------------and again!
whatever she sings bring tears to my eyes
I've long cherished this song sung by Ottilie Patterson on a vinyl recording bought back in the fifties, and until now thought that to be the best rendition of this song, but I've just watched this video, and it moistened my eyes a bit. Don't get me wrong I still love Ottilie's voice, but I think Judith has the edge.
Derek Voller Always liked Monty Sunshine on clarinet playing this as my favourite instrumental version, Ottilie and Judith top vocal versions.
Derek, Ottilie WAS one hell of a singer, I only recently, finally started listening, and was amazed. But no one will ever replace Judith for me.
Still a strong, flexible, and precise voice.
Still listening to this Ladies Fantastic Voice on the 16/04/2021 11:10 Am
Absolutely awesome.... Thank you Lord for giving this women the gift of voice....
Ageless Priceless And without peer what a songstress Judith Durham.
Love that song and Judith makes it even better!!
Judith, is one of the greatest.!!! I could listen to her all day & night. ❤

What a voice what a talent this lady is unique 🎤
wonderful contrast between the tuba ( synthesizer ? ) , and this voice...........pure genius .Thanks , I come back to to this concert often . Some things do indeed get better with time , Judith's voice is one . I must confess that I didn't give a hoot for the Seekers back in the day , count my taste in truly beautiful music as another thing that grew some with age .
Judith Durham, thank you for touching our souls with your Godly passion poured out on us generously through your singing voice and your loving radiation. Thanks to the Seekers too for writing precious songs that are a joy to listen to. God bless you all.
+excarnivor The Seekers didn't write this song. It's an old hymn! But Judith sings it with such passion! And her voice just gets better with age!
Judith feels and understands every word she sings. It's amazing. You can see it in her eyes. In singing for large audiences, she is doing what God intended for her. She holds her audiences in rapt attention. She is simply amazing.
Stupendous really all you need to know. What a Superstar!!!
A great and unpretentious Aussie icon. I'm in love again.
Absolutely beautiful in song and soul
This rendition is fabulous on its own right, and reminds us of the remarkable seekers recording of 1965, 40 years earlier.
