- The Seekers - Judith Durham, Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley & Athol Guy tell the story of their biggest hit, with a montage from 1967, 1994 and 2013. I previously uploaded a shorter version, but some commented that the background music was too loud. I compiled it from various sources & didn't have control of the levels but I've used new software to reduce the level of the background music here, hopefully this will help. A concert from The Seekers'2013/4 farewell tour is now available on DVD & CD. More videos from Judith and The Seekers on the playlists below: Best of the 60s in stereo: • The Seekers - I'll Nev... & Inspirational favourites: www.youtube.co... Performances: • The Seekers - I Am Aus... of - Live 1999-2014: www.youtube.co... Seekers concluded their Golden Jubilee tour in New Zealand in November 2014, and Judith Durham began her farewell tour there in April 2016.

RIP Judith Durham . Australia's favorite daughter
So sad to hear of Judith's passing. Wonderful singer--she'll be missed.
Do sorry to hear that. May she rest in peace.
I am a 1972 boy and never liked the bands of the 50's and 60's. However i make an exception for the seekers ONLY for Judith. That voice.
Now she is a beautiful angel singing with Judy Garland and Julie Andrews.
@@tryarunm Julie Andrews is still very much alive.
@@tygerstripes3752 Thank you for pointing that out!
Ah pesar d los anos eres hermosa bebe linda t amo
"A perfect pop song" agree 100 %
Not even The Beatles performed for live audiences as large as The Seekers did at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl - estimated at 200,000 people.
Austrailians would turn out to watch road kill being barbecued
Sad to hear this Judith gone now .The world will miss her beautiful voice.
God bless you Judith Durham (1943 - 2022 ) and may you rest in peace!
Thank you Seekers... First heard this song riding my bike past someone playing it on a porch in New Orleans! I was 6 and have loved it ever since!!
RIP ... Lovely Judith with the voice of an Angel....
No auto tuning . A beautiful voice.
Brilliant…the voices haven’t changed over the years 😘👍
A great lady with an eternal voice !
Judith Durham (OAM), a great voice in a genuine Australian: that is the way I'll remember her - often. RIP Judith ✝️🌹🇦🇺
Georgy Girl is one of the first songs I remember. They were touring when I was born. Unfortunately, the younger generation has never known about The Seekers.
Same here. Georgy Girl was the first song I remember as a child. We would try to sing the lyrics.
I heard this tune when it first came out and I thought the girl singer had a fantastic voice that cut through and really made the song work. Immortal stuff. R.I.P. Judith Durham.
I met Keith about ten years ago, I was providing the sound for a show that Keith did as a solo in the south west of WA. He was such a lovely man, He sat with us and played all the songs and told us stories about the songs. A beautiful memory for me. Thanks Keith. R.I.P. Lovely Judith.
When is the seekers going to be in the Rock N ROll Hall of Fame in Celeveland Ohio
I loved the seekers one of the best groups in the world so sorry to.hear of Judith's death loved her
Rest In Peace dear Judith.
There is a unique lightness about this song which still stands out decades later.
Judith was an incredible singer! The Seekers are one of the few groups who had a consistent sound. I ❤️ them. RIP Judith Durham.
I love this song. I heard this song when I was a kid. Rest in peace Judith... Thank you for your songs! May health be with the remaining Seekers!
Rest In Peace Beautiful Lady , there will never be another you! 😢💙
Never knew the story behind the song. The singing of it only gets better. Love The Seekers!
Two verisons recorded the opening credits and the closing credits when Georgy Girl Lynne Redgrave gets married.
My heart is broken beyond repair
Aging is inevitable but somehow their voices just seen to somehow get even better, if that's possible! l never tire of listening to this wonderfully talented group. Long live the best of all time, The Seekers!
RIP !!! Judith Durham your music inspired us in our growing up years, Gone too soon, Enjoyed your music during the era of records & cassettes. The Seeker's existed when no tv was around. Sympathies to the family.
RIP Judith your voice will live on forever .
You mastered the hearts note with your heavenly voice .
I thank this wonderful song for the brightening of my day earlier this year .
I had woken up one morning and although i hadnt heard this song for decades at all ,it was ringing in my thoughts .Intuitively i knew it was a send from the divine shortly later .
And such a voice as Judiths it reminded me to enjoy and step out .
Thank you to the messenger for lining me with the Seekers ,as it turns out not long there after the next song i heard was i'll never find another you upon awakening once again another morning ,though this one was after a traumatic end of losing a dearly appreciated pet ,my son , a golden retriever - i named Billy - RIP sweetie always in my thoughts .❤❤
I have listened to the Seekers music on and off since a child in the 60s but I don't think I had ever really registered just how clear an pure Judith Durham's voice was. What a great sound combined with the guys.
So sad to watch this knowing we have just lost the brilliant Judith Durham .. she always looked so small and delicate..nobody knew she had bronchiostassis...amazing how she managed singing with that..my niece has it and they likened it to having cystic fibrosis as she needs the mucus off her lungs..Judith you will be missed..Rip
Awesome group. Judith Durham has an absolute beautiful voice.
Que gente linda demais. Sempre que escuto choro(DEUS está nessas vidas muito presente)ouça Yesterday com Eles(Marianne Faithfull idem) Almas que cantam e valorizam nossa existência. Valeu
And the “Boys” have kept their voices at age 80.
Let's not forget Tom Springfield's incomparable role in all of these songs. RIP Judith.
The "Springfields” were kind of Pre-Seekers. After Dusty began her solo career, Tom went off in that direction.
The Seekers weren't exactly a one-hit wonder but this was their anthem. A breezy melody with a great message. That's what the 60's pop music craze was all about!
RIP beautiful lady with a voice to match. ❤💔
I remember this song so well. Such a catchy tune. And what a voice!
She is in heaven
With The Seekers and Georgy Girl deep inside my heart. And Judy's incredible voice...
😊😊😊❤❤❤😊
As a huge Seekers fan I am so very fond of the song and Judith's incredibly beautiful voice! And I've never seen this piece before, it is very good, thanks for posting it!
We're so sad Judith passed
Judith Durham was a true gift to the world. Her voice is the cleanest, clearest, true sound. Her petite beauty, modest clothing and humble demeanor always set her apart from the flashy celebrity types. I don't think she ever fully knew what she meant to so many people, especially women. She was popular before my teens, but I have always looked up to her as a model of grace and style. Their music is a real treat in this day of auto tune and electronic effects!
Thanks. These folks are part of the soundtrack of our lives.
The Seekers are a class act.
Judith's death was a sad loss for all of us. Judith's life was a beautiful blessing for all who heard the angelic voice. Rest in peace our beautiful muse.
My favourite Seekers song and soundly in my favourite top ten songs. They made you feel proud not only to Australian but Melbournians. Their music will always appeal for generations to come.
Fantastic voice which stayed with her, Seekers are legends.
Judith Durham....simply amazing. What a range of genres. The UK had Dusty Springfield, we had Judith Durham. Both made it look so easy, both very humble, and both near perfection
I hope Tom Springfield knows how much we all have loved his music.
I'm sure Judith and the boys told him constantly how much they appreciated him and how much the public would appreciate him if he ever made himself public. There were reasons he might have wanted to stay private that we can all speculate on, but it is shame he couldn't have opened up a little in later life.
The song was such a hit, it was nice and very meaningful, and one of the iconic songs of its time. There is almost always someone better inside of all of us, who only needs to be released and our lives shall change and for the better.
I think it's my favorite seekers song the flute is awesome
IT IS NOT FLUTE, HE IS WHISTLING WITH HIS MOUTH, WATCH THE VIDEO
I just love both the song and the film.
I remember Georgy Girl from when I was a kid of 8.
Judiths voice was one of a kind, may she rest in peace.
This was an awesome video. I'm 69 and it brought up so many memories.
I love this song
Happy birthday Judith
My aunty loved your music and our whole family were privileged to hear her sing your songs she'd play the guitar all night long but when she sang you Judith especially your Olive Tree.. you couldn''t imagine the atmosphere.. our whole family would hush everyone until everyone was silent and if a person was still whispering they would quickly get a ssshhhh until the whole house was absolutely silent.. she was and always will be the best singer in our whole family.. but she imprinted on me in particular you Judith and the Seekers.. I'm a 1970s born child so will always love our era of music xx
The seekers still has the same sound and voice many years later ! What a wonderful group ! They made alot good records ! They had a really golden sound !🌟
Thank you for liking my favorite song. Even my dog is called 'Georgy Girl'! This Oscar-losing memorable masterpiece, the theme from the 1966 movie "Georgy Girl," is the song I'd choose to take with me, anywhere and everywhere. I'm 68 years old and I like it even more than I did in1966 when I was 13 and the movie had just opened in the USA...
Dear Judith Durham in Heaven forever and ever RIP with angels and Jesus Christ
Music makes the World go around.
Thank you for putting this together! As a little girl, I loved the song, but never knew the story behind Georgy Girl. Of course for the last several weeks as I and millions of others mourn the passing of angelic Judith Durham, I'm seeking out everything I can about her and her music. The Seekers were such an upbeat group, and I will always love their music (and Judith's gorgeous voice). 💖
It was the year of ( 1965 ) I remember very well , talk about creating memories .
You know I've have read & heard about HEAVEN , can't fathom it , but what I know about , I believe , but couldn't you imagine when you pass , she is holding out her hand & guiding you in your final resting place , beautiful spirit inside & out , what a legacy , taught me something about being a human being .
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the very song that introduced me to The Seekers, as it was regularly played on the local oldies station in Philadelphia (98.1 WOGL-FM).
Judith. What a gal. Loved her, always.
Judith strongly self-identified with the Georgy character in the movie. She had a near-fatal brain hemorrhage in 2013. Fortunately she survived; someone realized right away that something was wrong and got help to her in time. I sent her this song that composed itself in my head, to a very recognizable tune, after I met an Australian girl at an open mike night. I e-mailed it to Judith, and an aide replied that she was thrilled with it.
Hey there, Judith Durham
Leading up The Seekers through the years
You and all your mates gave us lots of fun
And memories too - then suddenly
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the nasty scare that May
But your mates stood by you all the way
And you pulled right through
You ne’er were scared of changing and rearranging yourself
Nor scared of jumping down from the shelf
More than a little bit
Hey there, Judith Durham
You had quite the rocky road ahead
But you brought out all the strength you hid
And, oh, what a change there's been
The world has seen a new Judith Durham
A VERY nice tribute 👏 👍 to a wonderful lady singer and her group.
❤ TO Judith Durham..
Judith has made many lives richer with her melodic voice.
Amen.Thanks
That's from the USA 🇺🇸. Jersey Joe
Judith Durham was universal, and, yet, nicely Australian.

Bravo!
Finally come accross this song again and looked up this history review. Loved hearing this song as I grew up in the 60's and early 70's. Wonderful to learn about more details about the band and history of this song. Much insight from the lyrics need to be presented to our year 2000's of our kids!
I love this song.
The Seekers were a favourite band of my dad's and he used to sing their songs a lot especially this one and the one about morning town.
'Georgy Girl' Still a hit in my eyes :)
What a great tribute to the best singing group ever. Thank you for making this clip and posting it.
I always loved that song,but have only recently really discovered Judith Durham and The Seekers. Now I am obsessed with them. Thanks for posting this!
I love how she never stopped looking like herself and was alway recognizable!!!
He voice never changed or faultered!!!❤
She was a wonderful girl, unfortunately she is already gone! God rest her soul!
I like to imagine the early Beatles performing this with all four of them singing at once.
RIP Judith🙏
She was...a legend....A CLASS OF HER OWN.....
Thank you again, Rich! What an incredible compilation. On a sadder note, I suppose that most Seekers' fans know that Tom Springfield also recently passed away.
Such an uplifting song
this song makes me cry now thatJudithis gone
Amazing music.....rip Judith
Wow, just wow!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
So wonderful! So beautiful!
RIP Judith. One of the first songs I remember as a kid and have always loved it.
Happy birthday, Judith!
Once in a while all the stars converge in one spot. Great piece. Thanks for posting.
I've always loved this song!
From the 1966 film Gerogy Girl with Lynne Redgrave as geogina.
@@martinpatrick1746 yes I've watched the movie several times!
In a class of their own
Excellent video and classic song. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Enjoyed seeing Martin Clunes in the video.
Christ, Judith could really belt out that song. What a woman.
They never fail to put a smile on my face! Thank you Rich for this!
Judith, your voice will always be missed. I was only 6 or 7 when I heard you all sing for the first time, and it will always stay with me forever. RIP JUDITH.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My new favourite song of the moment ❤😊

Thank you for the updated version Rich! I appreciate the few little additional clips.
I remember this song being the first one I heard when I got a new transistor radio in the 60's.
Wie immer, wunderschön dieses Lied über die Jahrzehnte zu verfolgen. Thank you Rich für dieses wunderbare Video
I love this song so much, I even picked it up on the guitar ( I play the guitar)
