Here here. Danny Boy is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s been sung by many people but no one can EVER live up to the most beautiful, pure, expressive and heart-wrenching sound of the beautiful Judith Durham. I cry every time I hear her sing it, just can’t hold back the tears, how ever hard I try. Has anyone heard her singing “All Over The World “? Pure beauty and fantastic song.
She thought about being an opera singer. She thought about being a concert pianist. She became the artist of millions of fans. Listen to her sing every day! If you are in the right mood she could make you cry with her voice. What a talent!
Funny you should say that because I have often said that she is one of two singers whose voice alone can bring tears to my eyes, the other being Patsy Cline.
She makes me cry everytime i hear her since i first listen to her and now after she died even more. She and the guys are like the friends of every of us their funs.
I met her in a little place in Bradenton Fla and froze! I could not speak as I was starstruck,. I graciously walked out. She was my favorite person of all!
“Judith Durham’s voice is renowned for its exceptional purity, clarity, and warmth. Her unique tone has been praised by critics and fans alike, with many considering her one of the greatest female vocalists in history.”
As any professional singer will tell you this song is difficult to sing because of its wide range but Judith Durham with her remarkable talent makes it look effortless
I cannot believe how 252 people have given this the thumbs down? This is such a beautiful song. Known, loved and sung worldwide. Judith's voice has just the right quality for it and she sings it so beautifully with love and passion. Shame on you, whoever you are.

I feel I must push in here as an Irishman and say that This singer sings this from the heart. She tops every other version I have heard. She is a treasure and a credit to her country, Australia.
Have a wee listen to Maureen Hegarty from Derry singing her version , I am sure you will be impressed also . Judith was one of the greatest voices of her day .
A beautiful song sung by a fabulous singer. It must be started on the right pitch or you will struggle. Brings back memories of parents past and gone but never forgotten ❤
No false vibrato no vocal acrobatics just pure honest interpretation of a beautiful song Judith Durham was and is the best female singer that ever was I miss her voice.
I have never been able to describe the style of so many Pop singers of today, but vocal acrobatics is an accurate description of their style of delivery. I really love to hear a singer like Judith and her pretty voice sing as the song should be sung.
My father in law used to like to sing this when drunk. He was at Dunkirk and Nimegen and was a paratrooper beyond the beyond. He gave my son his medals. In memory of Stan Macnamara. Please remember him.
This song was my late dad's favourite song l cry when ever l hear it lost my dad 2002 to cancer and l was shattered then lost mum 2009 to cancer too and mum loved Judith singing this version of Danny boy 😂😂😂❤❤❤life is soooo precious 💞
One of the lovliest ballads, sung by one of the world's lovliest vocalists. Judith, you brought such joy to us all ... your beauty, your voice, your songs will live on through the ages.
This is the song i sung to my my son when he was a baby, he passed away aged 22 in 2009 from a brain hemorrhage while at Trinity College Dublin, the pain never goes away. Judith sings this as best it could ever be sung. I love her singing its so unique.
I can't begin to believe what you are going through, not bloody fair, 22? my daddy was 82 annd christ that waas hard enough, thoughts andprayers with you, may your boy rest in peace, god go with you xxxx
I don't know what to say, to lose your son at such a young age, is heart breaking. I spent many months in Hospital as a child, and my Dad sang this to me. Judith sings it so beautifully. I shed a tear every time I play it. I'm sorry for your loss Michael
My dear father loved this song and he used to play it on his piano, it's so special to me because I know that he was thinking of me while playing it, God bless him.
I am 66 years old, and never in my life have I ever heard such a beautiful version of 'Danny Boy'. It gives me goosebumps, a lump in my throat, and tears in my eyes. Thank you Judith! And thank God for giving you to the world!
I turned 66 last month --- while searching through music by the seekers last night I came across a singer I had for some reason never heard before. This is her singing "Danny Boy" ua-cam.com/video/j32Fnb_8Bv4/v-deo.html
A voice as clear as crystal. Judith really let’s out her glorious soprano voice. Absolutely the best Danny Boy I’ve ever heard. Here in October 2020, who else?
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!

I have loved Judith since the sixties beautiful woman,the voice of an Angel but I still wonder who has the finest voice Judith or Annie Haslam of Rennaissance
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Elton John, who knows a little something about music and singing, once said that Judith was one of the three best female singers ever (the other two being Eva Cassidy and Karen Carpenter) - absolutely nothing to argue with there...
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
Vale Judith Durham. No one will ever replace you, You were a very special person who dealt with tragedy and heartbreak but never stopped smiling, an incredible vocalist, pianist, and performer who was an ambassador for Australia. I believe she is now performing in a better place reunited with her husband, thank you Judith Durham for the music and the memories you have given to so many millions of people all over the world.
Being Irish I have been brought up with Danny boy sung at every gathering n even when it was just in our home .I have never heard a version sung like this it is gloriously superb!!!
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
The people who have given this the thumbs down, all I can say is I feel sad for you, because you must be tone deaf, a woman’s voice like this comes along once in a life time, .and will be remembered long after when most if not all of your pop hero’s have been long forgotten.
In memory of my Dad...Daniel A. White, Sr. 1921-1994. Devoted and Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather, WW2 Veteran and Dear Friend to Many. I love you, Da.
Michael White George Leedom Sr., 9/9/23-10/23/74 Beloved father to Lauren E. Leedom, Husband of June E. Parks Veteran of WW II, Korea, Vietnam Died from delayed effects of above ground nuclear testing in Nevada in the fifties and sixties. The wind changed and covered his troops with radioactive material.
Fifty years more and people will miss our time, and not exactly because the future will be worse. People simply tend to believe the old times were better.
RIP dear lady, NOWBODY can sing "Danny Boy" with such genuineness and tenderness as YOU. It's a very sad song about heart break and hope. Sung a lot at funerals, I know of no other song that is more requested at this difficult time because it uplifts the spirit. From an Irish man who has heard this song quite a few times.👍💚
Judith's voice has a rare purity and beauty. I cannot quite describe it. There's something enchanting about the color, brightness and fullness of her voice.
Yes, it is unique. She had measles as a child of 4 (in 1948) and was very sick. She had bronchiectasis as a result...a lifelong condition like people with cystic fibrosis have, but without the progressive damage of that disease. It left her with a chronic cough, which she has trained herself to control while singing. It also left her with lungs and breathing passages that gave wonderful power and unique timbre and vibrato. What could have been a tragedy turned into a gift for her and the world!
Judith your singing fed my soul, the purity of your version of Danny Boy to all the wonderful Seekers songs with the boys. I was at the Music Bowl in 1967 with my dear Mum, I saw the 25th reunion, the 50th Concert, I went to the 1994 Grand Final to see the Seekers, I saw you sing jazz and singing with the Choir of Hard Knocks. I am saddened that your carnival is over. Thank you for the joy your singing gave to me and many, many others. Heaven’s choir now has its lead singer and you have now found the Olive Tree.
How sad that Judith Durham has just died. As was mentioned by the PM of Australia, “she was one of their national treasures”. I hope others will agree. 6/8/22
I don't care what any one says, Danny Boy is one of the most beautiful songs in the English language. Sung exquisitely by Judith Durham.
Bravo
Here here. Danny Boy is definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It’s been sung by many people but no one can EVER live up to the most beautiful, pure, expressive and heart-wrenching sound of the beautiful Judith Durham. I cry every time I hear her sing it, just can’t hold back the tears, how ever hard I try. Has anyone heard her singing “All Over The World “? Pure beauty and fantastic song.
An amazing Song from an amazing Singer♥️
One of my favourite renditions of this song
Only a class singer can sing Danny Boy, which Judith does, divinely.
Rest in piece, Judith. 🙏 I have never listened to 'Danny Boy' sung so beautifully and with such sorrow. Her singing voice is that wonderful.
Judith Durham , touched by gods grace and not touched by the excesses of fame. A LEGEND.
It is a privilege to hear her sing.
RIP Judith your voice is returning to heaven where it was made.
Well said!
What a lovely comment and so true
What an angel.
May she rest in peace
Thank you for your time with us🙏🙏🥰🥰
Judith Durham had one of the greatest female voices of all time. Thanks for singing Danny Boy sweetheart. Rest in peace.
She has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.
No one, and I mean NO ONE sings this song better.
A wonderful rendition of Danny boy. R.I.P Judith.
What an angel she was. Thank you, Judith, for sharing such beauty with everyone.
She not only had a great voice but also a likeable charisma - whether with the boys or solo, she was a gem. May she rest in peace. 🙏
An incredibly beautiful song, sung by an Angel. Rest in Peace, Judith. God bless you, and all who read this. 🙏💖🙏❣️
Thankyou for thinking of us, your fellow mourners Tami
the best version ever
I didn’t know until recently that Judith had passed away. What a great voice.
A beautiful song given extra passion by one of the great singers of my lifetime , now sadly having left us
I'm 66 years old. When I was a little boy, I had such a crush on her. Truely an angel.
Judith Durham's rendition of Danny Boy, is truly beautiful. The voice of an Angel ❤
She thought about being an opera singer. She thought about being a concert pianist. She became the artist of millions of fans. Listen to her sing every day! If you are in the right mood she could make you cry with her voice. What a talent!

She will be singing with the angels know, what a beautiful song sung by the great lovely Judith rip
As an Irish man one of the best. I've heard sing this song
Have you heard the Roy Orbison version ??? With the orchestral backing ???? Heart wrenching .
Still listening in 2020--She is a treasure!
August 2020😭🙏for a better year from USA
@red rowan2000...AMEN!...I wish I had a time machine to go back to such sweet voices 😌
Yes, a treasure!
Best version of Danny Boy i have ever heard.
Me too. Wonderful.
Judith is one of those angels I expect to hear sing when I get to heaven, if I get there.
i like that "if i get there" lol :0)
“Judith Durham’s voice is renowned for its exceptional purity, clarity, and warmth. Her unique tone has been praised by critics and fans alike, with many considering her one of the greatest female vocalists in history.”
Agreed.
1/31/2024: She was Lovely and the most Beautiful Voice. She sent me an autographed picture of her 3 years ago.
RIP Wonderful Girl.
As any professional singer will tell you this song is difficult to sing because of its wide range but Judith Durham with her remarkable talent makes it look effortless
RIP Judith Durham.
Just heard on the radio she's passed away, aged 79. 😢
R.I.P. Judith Durham. Your talents will be deeply missed ❤️🇦🇺
I cannot believe how 252 people have given this the thumbs down? This is such a beautiful song. Known, loved and sung worldwide. Judith's voice has just the right quality for it and she sings it so beautifully with love and passion. Shame on you, whoever you are.

How can anyone give this a thumbs down
So Beautiful it hurts.
Judith's beautiful, powerful haunting voice is a gift from God. You will never hear a more beautuiful version of this classic.
I would rate Jackie Evahcho and Judith even on this song, both are brilliant!
I am now 73 years old. I have never heard a more moving version of Danny Boy. Thank you Judith! You have been a gift.
You know…!I always shed a tear when I hear this
Rest in peace , Judith .
The beautiful rendition of " Danny Boy".
Heaven is an even better place now that Judith is there. And the angels sing.
I feel I must push in here as an Irishman and say that This singer sings this from the heart. She tops every other version I have heard. She is a treasure and a credit to her country, Australia.
I feel I must say excellent job also elvis that this song justice. 🍀🇨🇮💚
Brings tears on🍀💚🇨🇮
I can't agree more. Rare to hear it from a female singer. My next favorite would be Andy Williams. "I'm off to Dublin in the green, laddy."
Have a wee listen to Maureen Hegarty from Derry singing her version , I am sure you will be impressed also . Judith was one of the greatest voices of her day .
Try Deanna Durban's version from the film "Because of Him" opposite Charles Laughton in the 1940's. That one is my favorite.
She gave us so much joy over 60 years. An angel on earth now an angel in heaven. Very sad to say goodbye.
A beautiful song sung by a fabulous singer. It must be started on the right pitch or you will struggle. Brings back memories of parents past and gone but never forgotten ❤
Most singers merely sing the notes and words, Judith sang the feeling behind the song. Beautiful. R I P Judith.
RIP Danny boy also
Very well said 😊
No false vibrato no vocal acrobatics just pure honest interpretation of a beautiful song Judith Durham was and is the best female singer that ever was I miss her voice.
'No vocal acrobatics.' That's perceptive and appreciated.
I have never been able to describe the style of so many Pop singers of today, but vocal acrobatics is an accurate description of their style of delivery. I really love to hear a singer like Judith and her pretty voice sing as the song should be sung.
Would credit her with one of the best voices of our times
Fred, Judith is still performing and recording, so no need to miss her
@@GlenStace No autotune
Some1 lease me a time machine so I can go back to 1968. I will bring it back, honest. Always love Judith !
this is one of the great voices in musical history---pure brilliance--pure purity.
This song is so beautiful when sung by a woman. She has the voice of an Angel.
She is a good singer but listen to Danny O'Donnell, what do you think?
Praise technology because we can still see and hear this beautiful woman. Thank you Judith for enriching my life.
My father in law used to like to sing this when drunk. He was at Dunkirk and Nimegen and was a paratrooper beyond the beyond. He gave my son his medals. In memory of Stan Macnamara. Please remember him.
To Stan Macnamara

One of the lovliest ballads, sung by one of the world's lovliest vocalists. Judith, you brought such joy to us all ... your beauty, your voice, your songs will live on through the ages.
A beautiful angel who didn't need a mic touching her lips and hiding her face. An Australian treasure too!
Only a crazy or evil person could thumbs down this. A very special lady with a wonderful unforgettable voice and beauty.
Best version of this song
Sharon North: My Dad was a Derry Boy, 13 years later I still break down at Danny Boy, love you Daddy xx
I don't think she realise just how great she was and the effect she had on people
how great she was? she is still with us..
THATS BECAUSE SHE IS NOT LOOKING 4 IT
Has. :-)
This is the song i sung to my my son when he was a baby, he passed away aged 22 in 2009 from a brain hemorrhage while at Trinity College Dublin, the pain never goes away. Judith sings this as best it could ever be sung.

Un-imagineable - I hope you get comfort watching this.

if i was dead and buried and heard your voice from beneath the sod my heart would still rejoice.
A voice as clear as crystal. Judith really let’s out her glorious soprano voice. Absolutely the best Danny Boy I’ve ever heard. Here in October 2020, who else?
It’s all been said ! Beautiful crystal clear voice ! Along with Beautiful person !
I listen to this every now and then. Lovely Judith Durham. So special....what a beautiful voice. Lovely song.
Wonderful version. Love it. Who else you ask? Deanna Durbin that's who. Peace.

Nobody could ever sing Danny Boy like Judith Durham. She is the best!
Absolutely brilliant.
There will never be another voice like Judith's.
Proud to be Australian...
Dame Edna might disagree.
Geoffrey Rowe I am English and I agree, she has one of the best voices ever.
I have loved Judith since the sixties beautiful woman,the voice of an Angel but I still wonder who has the finest voice Judith or Annie Haslam of Rennaissance
you mean European
You should be.
It's hard to believe a person can put out such a beautiful piece of artwork. RIP
This is the first time that i have heard an angel sing
God speed , Judith Durham , Australia's most precious song bird ; this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Brilliant! What a blessing Judith Durham was to Australia and to the world!
So sad to learn of her passing. She will be a beautiful addition to the Angel Chorale. Thank you for your beautiful voice and wonderful memories.
You say it so well....thanks!
When I get to Heaven one of the things I will do is attend a concert with Judith Durham, Karen Carpenter and Whitney Houston.
@@williampaz2092 And Olivia
Beautifully put. She was a true artist performing during a time when music touched heart and soul
Of course they will all have to up their game.
She was so pretty and a wonderful singer.
The most beautiful voice ever, now singing with the Angels.

JD was better 👍
Very close but I think Karen was just a touch better… but not much.
I know this will be a bit contentious but I think Cass Elliot wasn’t far behind those 3… she was an underrated vocalist
Simply beautiful I have always loved Judith’s voice, I’ve never heard her do this before, it’s beautiful ❤️

Vale Judith Durham.
No one will ever replace you, You were a very special person who dealt with tragedy and heartbreak but never stopped smiling, an incredible vocalist, pianist, and performer who was an ambassador for Australia.
I believe she is now performing in a better place reunited with her husband, thank you Judith Durham for the music and the memories you have given to so many millions of people all over the world.

Hi Eileen hope you're okay?
Thank you Judith for all the beautiful music you sang for us. This one brought tears to my eyes. You will be missed.
Judith absolutely shatters me. I don’t know if I could watch this again. I’ve heard this song my entire life. She makes me weep. In a good way.
Her beautiful voice soothes my spirit.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
She and Eva Cassidy have the purest voices..... just beautiful.....
Born to sing. A gift to the world from God. People like this stand out in the world, and Judith certainly always has. She's such an inspiration.
I've heard 'em all, male and female, old and new, and this is the best version... to me, anyway.
The people who have given this the thumbs down, all I can say is I feel sad for you, because you must be tone deaf, a woman’s voice like this comes along once in a life time, .and will be remembered long after when most if not all of your pop hero’s have been long forgotten.
Listening to her sing always brings a tear to my eyes. So beautiful
She had the voice of an angel.
Perfectly sung no electronics what a talent

Nope
Fifty years more and people will miss our time, and not exactly because the future will be worse. People simply tend to believe the old times were better.
RIP dear lady, NOWBODY can sing "Danny Boy" with such genuineness and tenderness as YOU. It's a very sad song about heart break and hope. Sung a lot at funerals, I know of no other song that is more requested at this difficult time because it uplifts the spirit.
From an Irish man who has heard this song quite a few times.👍💚
I was born at the wrong time!
Not only a greater generation of vocals, but the depth in the voice conveyed believability of living the life!
Judith's voice has a rare purity and beauty. I cannot quite describe it. There's something enchanting about the color, brightness and fullness of her voice.

Absolutely agree. Such a perfect performance can only come from her exceptional talent. Truly a gift from God.
Yes, it is unique. She had measles as a child of 4 (in 1948) and was very sick. She had bronchiectasis as a result...a lifelong condition like people with cystic fibrosis have, but without the progressive damage of that disease. It left her with a chronic cough, which she has trained herself to control while singing. It also left her with lungs and breathing passages that gave wonderful power and unique timbre and vibrato. What could have been a tragedy turned into a gift for her and the world!
