    I remember being a ‘car headlamp flasher’ to Radio Caroline - with my girlfriend Sue. 53 years of marriage on she is in a Carehome with advanced dementia. I play her this song and sing along, her face comes to life and I get a loving smile of recognition, she holds my PPE gloved hand and beats time - which makes my life... Thank you Seekers!! Frank
    (Since posting my message I’m very sad to say that my dear Susie died from a chest infection in November 2021. I was with her as she went - and THE song was sung…. Our youngest daughter put a video projection together for the well-attended funeral and (needless to say) the sound track was …”I’ll never find another you”.)
    Thanks for your many kind comments!
    Today I learn Judith Durham has died…. The song so true of her as well my Sue. May she rest in peace - and sing again!

      I find it odd that I don't feel as sorry for my hardships as I do for those that I well remember.
      Maybe because it is my loss. When I pass it will be someone else's loss.

    I'm 74 and a being of student-run college radio in the US midwest in the late 1960s. I've heard it all when it comes to the '60's music. The Seekers weren't especially on my radar other than "Georgie Girl".
    However, as a retiree replaying music, I fell in love with a lot of their music, including "Another You". Early in Summer 2022 I scoured UA-cam for everything I could find on them, especially Judith Durham. There was something truly magical about her voice and smile. The news of August was personally truly devastating to me. And then her death was dramatically overshadowed by the loss of Olivia Newton-John a mere 3 or 4 days later.
    Judith Durham and her beautiful voice and talent were truly a gift to mankind. The beauty of her voice and music live on in accompaniment with the 3 gentlemen as she rests in peace. May her memory be for a blessing.

How many times I played and replayed this song. What an uplift during the Covid era. And the news of her passage. Such a late discovery on my part and such a rapid departure. RIP as you gave meaning to this song to me, my late mom, a sweet heart long since moving on with her life but present in my heart. There will certainly never be another you.

Simply amazing. Thank the lord for Dusty Springfield and her brother Tom. The O'Brian kids actually. So talented! They knew talent when they heard it and Tom writing incredible songs for The Seekers, nudged on originally by Dusty, as well as Dusty, were projects made in heaven. What joy!

    I was a student disc jockey on WLHA, University of Wisconsin when this first came out. Played it almost once an hour. What a great song, melody, and Judith's voice so clear. I knew it was headed to #1 at the time. I also knew I wanted to feel this way when I met my (future) wife, whenever that would be. Life worked out exactly that way for us. 60 years later we are still together, very healthy, very happy and still very much in love. Thank you Seekers for messaging me early in life. RIP Judith ... :)

    As a cynical engineer, tears don't come to me that easily, but this is the one song that does it every time. My dad died in late '64, and this was a hit a couple of months later; my mom couldn't bear to hear it because she knew she "would never find another you". She never did. And even apart from that association in my mind, this is a great song brilliantly performed. There are very few cover versions because nobody else could touch it; they certainly couldn't make it better than what came out of Abbey Road 56 years ago.
