    Rest in peace dear Judith Durham, 5th August 2022. Your voice and music has brought such happiness to so many thousands of people for so many years. My childhood was enriched with The Seekers records often played in our home, something I did for my children and grandchildren as part of music in their lives.

      I agree,I'm 78 years "young",I can remember them singing their lovely music in the early Sixties!!!, infact I have some of their records(45 RPM) in my collection!!! They are, in my opinion , one of the best (if not the best)singing group that has ever sung music!!! Nov. 26,2022.

      Her voice is still crystal clear and strong. Her voice touches my soul and makes my spirit soar. Goodbye Judith. Thank you for all the wonderful songs. May you continue to sing in the better place you have left us for.

      The only female voice I've heard that I'd compare to Judith is Anita Carter, but sadly Anita never really broke away from her Carter Family/Johnny Cash back up role. If she'd have recorded more mainstream music, I think she would have been every bit as successful and well known as Judith, and being American, perhaps even more widely known. The two most angelic voices I've heard.

    Dear Judith, I learned to love your angelic voice not so long time ago. I was a little girl when I listened to some of The Seekers's songs. I speak Spanish and didn't know anything about English, but I loved these songs. Now, I do know English and enjoy most these music. I feel extremely sad for Judith's loss. And as some say, now you are an angel and singing so beautifully in Heaven. I will always love you.

    I find it so profound that Dusty sang, "Goin Back", which became her eulogy & Judith sang lead on,"The Carnival is Over" which will, doubtless, become hers. Both vocally-gifted and hugely influential singers, role models and great women; without Dusty, there'd arguably be no, "The Carnival is Over" and, without Judith's interpretation of Tom Springfield's beautiful ballad, we wouldn't have this heart-breaking rendition by which to remember and miss Judith. 💔😔💖💖

Just hope the boys hang on. Can't bear to lose them too. I was in love with Judith at a very young age. I had to compete with all the other boys in my class though...lol. "She's mine!", "No, she's mine...." Such was the impact she had on we young lads...the beautiful girl next door. So Aussie she was, yet so classy a singer/musician. We already know how good Keith, Bruce, and Athol were...well they still are.

    Through all these years, Judith Durham and the Seekers have exalted and praised God no matter the circumstance. Considering how contemporaries have faltered in serving themselves, it is quite refreshing to be reassured that what really matters in the end endures the test of time. As we are reminded that we are best measured in times of strife, then certainly the adversities described only serve to magnify that these seekers measure up quite well. Indeed these Seekers have succeeded in their search! It is no wonder that the heart-warming music of Judith Durham and the Seekers will persevere forever in bringing joy and inspiration to people like me, through UA-cam or whatever lies ahead. Thank you so much!

    I was sitting way up their left hand side closest end to them when they sang this. Awesome event and damn that stadium could pack some peeps in.
    It sounded good through the speaker system they had there though don't really get to see the singers that well when up near the back.

    Immediate tears. Where did they come from? . Kylie Minogue said she was honoured to have pushed Judith on stage. She sure got that right.
