    Judith is very special, one of the most distinctive recognizable singing voices in the world, as well as the Seekers as a whole. She is a very special personality.

    A great, iconic Group. Judith was a marvelous and a great lead singer but the other three were magnificent musicians and excellent with backup vocals. Any time Bruce was asked to sing lead, he did a great job. An undervalued and excellent singer. I think Judith would probably overshadow most other singers.

    Pure melody.
    Pure joy.
    No other group like them.
    Their 24-year break up was a huge black hole in music.

    • @ffggddss
      @ffggddss 4 роки тому +2

      They probably needed a break, and some new musical secenery. I think Judith, for one, has said she needed some solo time.
      The important thing is, they *did* come back, and they could still keep hitting it out of the park!

    The Seekers are beautiful after all these years. Still slim, still full of energy, enthusiasm and showmanship and still with that greart harmony. Any Judith, those same 100 million guys who fell in love with you in the 1960's and 1970's still love you today. There will be no replacement in our hearts for you - ever. Long life to the Seekers.

    WOW! Just saw this for the first time. They are like wine that has improved with age. Put them up against any group from the 60's in 1997 and they would put them to shame. I can't get enough of her beautiful, clear voice. What a national treasure for Australia!!!

    • @barryh.4220
      @barryh.4220 4 роки тому +1

      That's the thing, isn't it? Back in the 60's and 70's we had the greatest music of all time , and the largely unknown Seekers were totally 'green' when they first arrived in England in 1964 with their folk songs , they took a big chance on people liking what they heard, and didn't even expect to be in the UK long..... they were faced with fierce competition from the likes of Tamla Motown, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones , Elvis Presley, Tom Jones and many, many more ... all huge acts or legendary labels who were more than capable of hitting the top of the charts repeatedly ..... it is to the Seekers eternal credit that not only did they become hugely popular, but they gatecrashed charts all over the world in the following years , and very often topped them !

    The ''Future Road'' album had just been released and these beautiful folks were just beaming with pride and justifiably so! It's a bit of a mystery for me why this brilliant piece of work wasn't promoted in North America. The old love affair would have rekindled in an instant and this album clearly had some serious potential for becoming a major blockbuster worldwide. jtk🍁

    Can someone enlighten me here? I have always loved the Seekers; great songs, Judith's clear, pitch-perfect singing, and the sound of Keith's 12-string on many of their records. I haven't heard this song before, and I am convinced that I can hear Keith's 12-string, yet he appears to be playing a 6-string. I notice at the end that the music appears to carry on after they have stopped playing, so could they have been miming to a recording in which Keith is playing his 12-string?
