The Seekers - Georgy Girl (1967 - Stereo)

  • Back in 1967, when The Seekers returned home to Australia for a visit, little did they know that their free concert at the Myer Music Bowl in their home town of Melbourne would break attendance records for the Southern hemisphere and TV ratings records for Australia!
    The concert formed part of the TV special 'The Seekers at Home and Down Under'. The group sang live on the day, but because no promo video existed for the original (1966) hit version of the song, it is this which I've used for the audio, extending the video to include the middle 8 bars. The DVD 'The Legendary TV Specials' with the live audio, (along with all The Seekers' hits and much more) is available to buy & spent several weeks at #1! Here's the version with live audio for comparison: • The Seekers - Georgy G...
    Written for the film 'Georgy Girl', with lyrics by Tom Springfield & music by Jim Dale.

    I’m 42yrs old and I heard this song for the first time yesterday at a Pilot gas station in Ohio. As an avid Simpsons fan I’ve heard them parody this song a couple times but had no idea that it was linked to an actual band. I almost forgot that there was a time where singers could ACTUALLY sing and they sang songs that were encouraging and inspiring. Everything about this song is great from the lead vocalist to the harmonizing backup singers to the instruments. This type of talent simply doesn’t exist anymore

    In 1969 I was a 19 year old Marine Sergeant. I was thousands of miles from home and in harms way. My girlfriend had sent me a “Dear John” informing me she was getting married and not to write or call her anymore. I was listening to Armed Forces Radio and the Seekers “GEORGIE GIRL” was playing on the radio. I found a picture of the young lady who was the lead singer for the Seekers. I fell instantly in love with her. I promised myself if I made it through the war I was going to marry her.🤣 Well, that didn’t happen but that fantasy helped me get through what seemed like and eternity in Vietnam. GREAT MEMORIES!

      It is an education discipline that is called elocution. Theater performers, actors, and many other people used to be professionally coached on pronunciation and the elimination or acquisition of various accents. The defunct Mid-Atlantic accent used by Cary Grant, Grace Kelly, FDR, and Katherine Hepburn present examples of a coached voice!

    I was 8 years old in 1967, I will never forget the first time I heard this song Georgy Girl by The Seekers, my parents took me to a hotdog stand to eat, sitting at the table were the old music turn-stiles, my father gave me a nickel to play a song and this is the song I played.
    I luv it so much I couldn't stop listening to it. I have been and remain a devout Judith Durham / Seekers fan my whole life.
    Judith Durham's voice is exquisite, and the harmony of the band members with their acoustic guitars and string bass is just amazing. It's pure talent, no electronic instrumentation whatsoever.
    The pop hits they recorded are not just great in music composition, lyrics, and harmony, they're iconic, and stands the test of time to this day.
    RIP Judith Durham, you will always be in my heart, part of my youth that forever reminds me of my youth, and my parents who have long passed away.

    I was a 20 year old College Senior when the Seekers made such a huge impact on the music scene.Judith had a voice made in heaven and all of us [ in the States ] could not get enough of this wonderful group.They gave us so many timeless hits that will never grow old.I still listen to their songs and watch same video;s with great joy and do indeed ...thank them all, for the musical genius that was theirs to share with all of us...db
