    This beautiful song came out two years before I met my wife Suzan.It was love at first sight!
    I was 16 and she was 15.
    We got married in 1969,I was19 and she was 18.I wasn’t considered an adult so I needed my mothers permission to marry! I got drafted the same week of the wedding!
    She just passed away just before Thanksgiving after 51 years of marriage
    When I hear this song it still makes me cry
    Honey,there will never be another you!

      First, I wish you peace and consolation. Almost my story. My wife (Sandra) and I grew up about a1/2 mi. apart. We knew of each other but we went to different schools. Because of mutual friends we started hanging around. She was 15 and I was 16. In Feb. '68 I went in the A. F. and she waited for me. A year into my enlistment we got married. Feb '69. 5 kids, 3 mortgages, and 2 careers later we are retired and still together. God bless you Joe.

    One of the saddest things about all these love songs, is when you read the comments about real life love stories that were happy, they're almost all from decades ago.

      It's helpful to remember that Judith was an established trad jazz singer before joining up with The Seekers. Working with skilled jazz musicians she would have picked up tips on phrazing and projection that would help give her vocals that unique flavour that catches the ear in her work with The Seekers. The blending of a jazz singer into a folk group almost seems counterintuitive, but it certainly worked some big magic here. jtk

    I just read Daniel's comment of 4 years ago about Judith being more beautiful than all 3 of the Kardashians put together, even without makeup! I just have to say Ditto!
    I remember Judith mentioning in an interview that she had insecurities about her physical appearance during those early years.
    To me, Judith looked like "the girl next door" - she being real, special, lovely, & even talented, a regular girl I'd like to go have a burger and pop drink with. - not one of those emaciated, too tall & skinny, airbrushed super models living in the clouds, but a normal girl who lives on the same planet as the rest of us.
    My male friends told me that her special beauty, smile & physical appearance was the epitome of the type of girl they were most interested in, especially when they finally became serious, and looking for that special one that they'd want to keep forever.
    The 3 guys I'm thinking of, to their credit, did just that.
    They're joyfully married to 3 of the most beautiful, in their husband's eyes (which is all that counts) young women, all from places next door, who just light up my friend's lives.

    • @softclay4thought
      @softclay4thought 10 років тому +5

      Yes! And to think she thought of herself as not being attractive!
      Listen to her interviews and you will be astounded by the self doubt she was going through at the time.
      For some reason, they turned down the opportunity to perform Georgie Girl at the 39th Annual Academy Awards on April 10, 1967 when all of Hollywood and over 22 million television viewers would have seen Judith Durham for the first time and literally fallen in love with her.
      This was a missed opportunity of the highest magnitude and could have launched their stalling career into a much higher orbit of activity with performance offers and songwriters composing songs expressly for them to sing like Paul Simon already had done the year before with his classic tune "Someday One Day" they successfully recorded.
      The Bee Gees had just come to the U.S. and upon arrival wrote the song Massachusetts expressly for The Seekers, but somehow couldn't get in touch with them to submit it for their evaluation. The Bee Gees decided to record the song themselves in 1967 and it was a huge hit.
      Had The Seekers recorded Massachusetts in 1967, they would have made a profound and permanent connection with the U.S. audience and market.
      As it stands now, Americans remember the song Georgie Girl resoundingly, but they never had the chance to become enamored with or familiar with the members of the goup themselves.

    • @softclay4thought
      @softclay4thought 10 років тому +3

      This song reached the top of the charts in England, the U.S., and Australia well before 67. This is a documentary reenactment of that time.
      The Seekers' manager Eddie Jarrett "...was very UK-centric..." according to Keith Potger and in retrospect, The Seekers should have been touring the U.S. much earlier than they ended up doing in 1967.

    • @softclay4thought
      @softclay4thought 10 років тому +12

      When I first watched this on UA-cam in 2010, I was so taken by the beauty of the song and the closeup of Judith that I was beside myself with questions of why I hadn't known that much about this wonderful group above and beyond Georgy Girl.
      No other voice like hers!!!
      This song was done to perfection by The Seekers and no other group has dared to attempt doing a version of it.
      Judith had to wait until November of 1969 to experience the joy of a relationship she had only been singing about since childhood.
      This song was first released in December 1964 and I remember hearing it on my parents' car radio back then when I was barely 11.
      But I didn't know for all these years it was the same voice of the girl who sang Georgy Girl who also sang this song.
      The same thing holds true for A World Of Our Own.
      I have no memory of ever hearing Someday One Day back in the 60's, but now I listen to it all the time.
      I love all kinds of QUALITY music and pride myself in the variety of artists I like, but I have scolded myself a number of times for not having found out more of this fine group sooner.
      I encourage eveyone to explore the music and music videos available on UA-cam involving The Seekers.
      Definitely a rewarding process!

      softclay4thought I am only two years older than you and I have the memory of visiting my Aunties sheep station and listening to this on my new transistor radio. It's a pity you missed so much of the rest of their music back then as it seems to have a greater effect on me as a memory of that period in my life. Their music has that effect, it is odd though that you didn't connect the other song's with this as the sound of them is so unique.

    My pleasure would be small
    I could lose it all tomorrow
    And never mind at all
