I was going to listen to just one Seekers song and go to bed. That was 2 hours ago. They are so addictive.
Nice to know I'm not the only one. '-)
Me too!
Me, too. EXACTLY!
Same here😊🇬🇧
100%
Her whole life was a struggle to maintain that beautiful voice. Asthma and a terrible bronchial disease plagued her. She meditated , maintained a strict diet, exercised and followed a regiment that most of us would find very tedious. A dedicated, gifted artist who faithfully cared for her instrument. That voice isnt effortless. It preserved with blood, sweat and tears.
Incredible artist. ❤️
The original Winston Churchill quote is
“ I have nothing to offer you but my
Blood, Tears, Toil, and Sweat ! ! ! “
Not only do we need music to be like that again, but we need life to be like that again. Too much has gone wrong in the pursuit of money.
My Lord! What a voice! Rest in everlasting peace and joy of our loving Saviour, Sister Judith.
No gimmicks, no swearing, no raunchyness, no undressing. Just honest singing and musicianship. This group did not need gimmicks. Their voices, harmonies and muscianship said all you ever needed to know about them. In two words, A CLASS ACT
agreed
Definitely! They could really sing (instead of whining like a lot of modern 'stars' do). As you say, the harmonies are very good and they could play their instruments and sing nicely without having their voices digitally enhanced by a computer!
No question about that. Pure talent.
Richard Barr She is absolutely pitch perfect, years and years before autotune. Most modern singers can't sound this good even with autotune.
@@rabnuds So true! She had a fabulous voice!
I want this version of this song played at my funeral. . .
I share that sentiment.
While you listen to this, just notice the absolute pitch perfect voice she has!
Her vocal range is astonishing.
Judith had perfect pitch - also Agnetha from ABBA - two instantly recognisable voices!!
There are a few singers who you know you'll never be disappointed and never hear wrong notes. She is certainly one
Judith had perfect pitch as did Mama Cass and Jane Morgan.
Perfect pitch doesn't give you Judith's range. The amazing thing is she had a lower register as well, and when she completely faded into one with the boys she was in that register, but she rarely did that.
Go listen to the song Heroes, from the opening of the 2000 Olympic games, Vanessa will amaze you too.
We have heard great female pop singers with powerful and beautiful voices, such as Linda Ronstadt, Agnetha Faltskog (Abba), Karen Carpenter, Ann Wilson (Heart), Carole King, Olivia Newton-John, and others. But no one seems to be able to do what Judith Durham was able to do with her vocal power, pitch, purity, poise, resonance, range, emotion, grace, simplicity, effortless delivery, transcendent, heavenly sublime tonal quality, and overall luminous stage presence. Judith left her listeners awestruck with every performance. The angelic wings of her voice allowed the audience to soar with her to the deepest blue of heaven's skies. Truly missed, inimitable, and irreplaceable.
please do not forget Marie Frederiksson from Roxette
not a fair comparison. Judith cannot possibly sing the same type of songs as e.g. Bette Midler. I listen to the type of song, and enjoy the singer for what they're worth. Ronnie Gilbert is another super talent. No disrespect, this song is sublime.
Mary O'Hara as well.
No one comes close to Judith!
v
First of all you are right, her voice is unique, and will ever be... but please never forget Marie Frederikson please, ever
I think Judith is the best female vocalist I have ever heard.Absolutely stunning voice.
I fully agree
Absolutely!!
She sings rather than yells her songs!
I class her in my top 4 with Dolly Parton, Nana Mouskouri, & Anne Murray. They have different strengths 🎶😇♥️💯
@@aljmann My selection along with Olivia Newton John
She looks and sounds fantastic .... no wonder the room falls silent when this group are in the place , even the children listen , the Seekers are absolutely superb.
Driving a truck at night and listening to this song when there is nothing on the road, good for the soul, nothing comes close, fabulous voice....just heard she past away yesterday..rip Judith. Never forgotten ❤️
END of The Word when THIS Happens.
All us believers will go to HEAVEN.
@@etvonrashke3763 thanks, stay safe on road
Amen brother....
A VERY BEAUTIFL LADY
@@etvonrashke3763 hope you are well my fellow teamster with the covid crisis at present, be safe 👍 Danny barrett
She effortlessly hits that high note and my heart soars. What a voice Judith! Truly angelic.
I tear up when she hits that high note...I have loved this group since I first heard them just about the time they did this song....
Thanks so true love the high notes...
Amazing how the best make things look so easy.
And stunningly beautiful too!
Always modestly dressed too.
what a voice that woman has !...staggering !...sends a chill up my spine when she hits that high note at the end.
Billy James me to ross
Billy James- And, she is absolutely beautiful!
Her range over the years has been incredible -- not just in vocal range, but in her ability to soar in various genres, folk, jazz, spirituals.
TWO octaves up ...
That moment took my breath away !!!!
Judith’s vocal range is incredible. She hit that high note at the end perfectly.
Unquestionably, one of the greatest voices in the entire history of recorded sound.
I have never, in all my 64 years, heard such a beautiful, clear, perfectly pitched voice as Judith Durham's.
@Pixie Pete I've been here, there and everywhere.
@Pixie Pete what the hell are you on about?
Judith Durham was the lead vocalist with The Seekers.
Listening to genuinely beautiful music like this makes me feel like I am more deeply loved than I could ever imagine by the same God who created Judith Durham and her fellow band members. Every time I hear "When The Stars Begin To Fall", I feel like I am being healed and comforted and reassured by some irresistibly wonderful benevolent force. It feels like every cell in my entire body is ringing in harmony.
Exceptional piece performed by this great foursome. Judith's voice is unique, and the depth and blending added by the 3 men is beyond amazing. Decent, clean, modestly dressed---a world away from today's rubbish.
In 1966 I was 13 and had a monster crush on Judith. In July 2022 I'll be 69...blessed with an amazing wife of 41 plus years... raised 4 wonderful (now grown) children and have 9 beautiful grandkids...but truth be told...I still have a monster crush on angelic Judith. When she sings, she commands full attention...she is one of God's works of art!!!
How could we not! I'm 71 and married to a wonderful woman for 51 years, but still there is small crush remaining! RIP Judith!
We lost an angelic treasure on August 5th with Judith's passing. Heavenly Father must have wanted one of his favorite daughters to come home to sing in heaven.
@@johnbush2798
I completely agree with your statement.
She was definitely an angel in my mind !!
yes , and now she is there singing with her angel voice among other angels
Judith is the greatest and most beautiful woman singer ever to step on a stage. Watching her on stage is by itself a remarkable experience. Everything in her commands attention. This applies to he entire career.
As much as I have loved Judith since 1965 It is the blend of her voices with the three boys that make it for me. None is greater than the other.
It is nice to see there are so many fans of Judith Durham. The entire Seekers vocal group sound was hypnotically harmonic with Judith cutting through clear as a bell. Great music for a hot day because there are so many moments where chills go up your spine. I know we'll never find another her.
Added to the wonder of Judith were Athol, Bruce, and Keith. How firm a foundation was that, eh!
Judith Durham is the most beautiful singing voice ever planted on this wonderful earth!
When The Stars Begin To Fall is probably the finest display of Judith's vocal range. You'd never
know that her lungs suffered per-
manent damage from the Measles
when she was 4 yrs. old.
Stan'--Measles? I don't think so. she must have breathed in some toxic chemical most likely. It's simply one of many medical frauds that have gone on for over a 100 years. No virus called "measles" has ever been isolated properly and the pathogen seen. Antibodies are faked during the purification process when they added antibiotics instead of removing everything but the pathogen which they did not see. Same thing as the CV 19 fraud and the HIV/AIDS fraud.
Infectious viruses do not exist--neither does contagion.

Andrew Kaufman M.D. - The Rooster in the River of Rats - Koch's Postulates (35 min) He shows exactly how the pandemic got started and brings the details of the studies out to view and reveals the fraud.
@@stevebilliter And of course the moon landings never really occurred, the earth is flat, fluoridation is a commie plot, etc.
@@jbidd8647 Maybe if you stop believing virus lies and look at the real science you could actually learn something beneficial to you. Continue to be deceived if you want--glad I'm not anymore.
@@stevebilliter What? I had that crap at least 3 TIMES when I was a kid.. itching something awful.. puking, high fever? Are you kidding me? yeah, you are. the Measles were NO fun I can tell you that.. however I have not puked since I was kid and I'm 79yo. and I have not had a cold in over 10 years. However pandemic? WHAT pandemic? My PCP says you better get those shots, Mr Cowell. Say what? whens the last time you saw me with a cold or flu.. like NEVER, right? Fraud? yeah I can believe it. I did get a double shot for shingles though. yeah I had everything when I was a kid. My Dad had shingles when he was about 65 and he couldn't even lie down for awhile. had it for a year, no thank you. but covid? forget it the chances of me having symptoms is gonna be zilch.
@@jbidd8647 well I've been on well water all my life but tell you what I don't like people putting stuff in my food that I have no control over. however the vast majority of John Q has no choice in such matters. yep Earth is flat as a pancake.. however where do those curved thingees come from with eclipses? And I watched the moon landings.. so where did that big SOB go, huh? If John Q stood next to a rocket 33 FEET IN DIAMETER I doubt they'd be saying there were no landings! I lived about 10 miles from that 39B launch pad and when that guy decided to leave EVERYBODY in town knew about it! so cool. yeah it was enormous.
Shear bliss of a voice, gifted from the gods themselves. The group is in perfect timing, and the bass is utter perfection, her voice hitting those notes at the end is pure magic.
The singers and groups of today need to listen to this type of music, and learn from it.. Not this x factor & the voice crap, which is just screaming... This is singing and music at its finest. Thank you SEEKERS.
The Seekers were fantastic.
Judith was absolutely gorgeous with a matching voice.
Absolutely the best. What a voice, what a song and what a group. I melt every time I hear this.
And the angels added another voice in Heaven...Thank You for all the beautiful music Judith...Rest In Peace.
Judith Duhram, what a voice ! Wonderful !
As a American I have tears as I was a huge fan of the Seekers. I will always miss singing of Judith Durham and the Seekers.
May Judith Rest in Eternal Peace. I actually miss the group more than I do then of all of my aunts and uncles and cousins and one brother but never my Mom and Dad.
Well I'm a late developer, I never was a Seekers fan, but I've just started listening to the voice of Judith, now I can't stop. Absolutely pitch perfect and such a sweet tone. I'm definitely converted.
I was a fan years ago. My favorite song for years was I'LL NEVER FIND ANOTHER YOU.
@@creidy3343 good choice. I've got hooked on: morning town ride
What a stunning, fresh faced beauty Judith Durham was as a young woman! Her gorgeous looks were only matched by her equally beautiful voice! Why she had so many insecurities about her appearance is beyond me! She is a legendary performer and 'The Seekers' are an excellent group! They all certainly deserved their huge worldwide success!
Absolutely agree. Judith was a stunningly beautiful young woman. No normal healthy Male could not fall totally in love with her. Then theres THE voice!
@@markhill9275yes she certainly could be my Morningtown Ride ......(sorry!)
@@charlesyates4230 Yes, Judith had oodles of sex appeal too! THAT little red dress in the Never Find Another clip just makes me bite my bottom lip, hard!
@@charlesyates4230 It's the hardest thing... I keep singing Morningtown Ride and the first part of 'When the Stars Begin to Fall. However, I cannot carry a tune so I do it in my head only. I am till mourning the loss.
Will there ever be another voice like hers? she simply was and is the best anytime, anywhere....
true!
I saw her performing in Cambridge, UK, a number of years ago and she had a beautiful voice. I have followed the Seekers since the late 60s and Judith has that pure voice that is rarely heard.
It’s 2022 and still no voice around like Judith’s ❤️
What a beautiful song. We just lost a treasure of folk music. Goodbye Judith..sing to us all from heaven.
Judith's voice was always pure and pitch perfect ! None better !
Bless Judith, had such a beautiful voice
I have just watched and listened to this again for the so manieth time. I was filled with a renewed sense of the great talent of this woman. And a deep awareness of the brevity of life on earth. I listened to Judith as a teenager. I listened for the rest of my life. I am now 74 and it all feels like such a sadly short while. But, gratefully, we experienced this wonderful voice and person!
Herman, you're right, those years soon passed.
there is no one that can close to to this most BEAUTIFUL voice!!
When Judith sang God must have smiled,she had the voice of an angle !
Only word I can think of is: BEAUTIFUL!
Absoloutley the best female voice ever. Hearing this brings an outpouring of tears remembering so many things in life and now the sad passing of this truly gifted person. Rest our Judith.
Ever? Who comes second? If you told her that, she might have thanked you but listed some she might have thought were better than her..
Her voice was beauty itself, but I would also mention Sandy Denny, Mary Hopkin, Mary Travers and Joan Baez in the same league, but that's to my ears certainly.
@@pauldurkee4764 Patsy Cline!
@@pauldurkee4764 not the range of vocal as Judith.
@@scottyjohnson3120 a nice evocative C&W singer. But Judith's perfectionist vocals give her the edge.
this song helps me out every morning here because i needed to thank God for another day being clean from street drugs and from alchol too. I been thanking God from july 8 of 1989 an untill today too
good evening my friend rich thanks for you from my comment here too
let's give some credit the the other members of the band that add the wonderful harmonies, depth and personality to the sound. Rightly so, Judith stands apart, but the other members add so much. It's the four together that really makes the music as impactful and meaningful and timeless as it is.
+Eric Klingler Agreed!
+James Sero I think you have to credit Tom Springfield for their biggest hits...including this one which was their first number one.
It does say 'The Seekers'.
Terrific point, Eric. While I understand that Judith was the centerpiece of the group, the contributions of the gentlemen were crucial to the overall Seekers sound.
Agree! Durham is backed by great musicians. Those gentlemen also add some great harmonies.
A beautiful voice and a beautiful lady. God bless you Judith.
Unbelievable. They are just amazing. No one does songs like this better.
Judith has a God given gift... effortless, flawless, beautiful and magical voice... we are blessed to witness such a gift.
Would this be the same Godd who decided it was ok her lungs suffered permanent damage from measles when she was 4 yrs. old?
The purity and beauty of her voice is unreal
Judith Durham. The Voice of Australia. This band's "I Am Australian" should be that country's national anthem.
On Friday, the world lost the voice of an angel. Rest well, Judith. Your work will never be forgotten.
What a beautiful voice in such a dark world.
A captivated audience ...on board the ship to England? My Lord what a voice... love you Judith and lads.
When I find a working time machine (no luck so far on eBay), I WILL be on that ship!
Judith Durham was an angel sent to earth to sing for us. RIP Judith 🙏🏿
Amen.☁️🎺👼💒🙏🌹
The greatest female voice in the history of recorded popular music. Period.
Karen Carpenter. Just velvet.
Did Karen have Judith's range? Anyway, they both give me goosebumps.
@@italia689 No she wasn't.
@@martysuckstorff8356 Carpenter had a flat monotone quality in her voice. A lovely voice. But Judith's is easier on my ear. Just my opinion.
@@PaulGDextraze Have to agree. Judith's voice is lovelier with far greater range. A lot of the Carpenter's material was kind of dreary.
Just sublime
Just perfect. Wonderful harmonies and Judith's voice is amazing. When she hits the high nores near the end is incredible.
I cannot help but get emotional every time I hear Judith sing, I don't know what it is about her voice that gets to me. There is such a sweet and gentle spirit of the Lord within her that shines through her beautiful countenance, makes me wish more women were like her...especially in this day and age. Thank you rich963!
She is humble and that's refreshing!
well if God has a daughter, i know who she is and when she is singing...pure joy judith and the boys are..well to me anyhoo. Be well and safe Joe. many blessings to you and yours.
Her voice is liquid silver
You got that right.
There are some.
Best singer Australia EVER produced.
Farewell Judith you'll be sadly missed.. Amazing voice. I've always loved The Seekers
My Lord, thank you for giving us her voice. Take care of her.
she puts the so called young singer's of today at the bottom of the mountain that they Will never climb
Have a listen to Lucy Thomas, aged 16, from the UK.
What a beautiful voice...goosebumps. Just pure talent ❤❤❤
Just fabulous hope Judith is here for a long time yes the more I listen to this amazing lady the more I realise that talent like this doesn’t exist today 🥰
How lucky was that audience on that boat. Beautiful and innocent times.
BEFORE the ‘60s began to break from the past.
they probably didn't even know... its not like this group blew their own horn they didn't have to. and how awesome is it that these people have been so close to one another for all these years.
Wish I could've been there. I was about ten at the time.
What a lovely, pure voice.
I need to add, much of our appreciation of the Seekers hinges around the exquisite 12 string guitar-work by Keith Potger- not only the wonderful rhythm guitar and the glorious lead 12 string guitar just adorns their many fine songs. And Judith's voice is heavenly- what a fine group of musicians.
love the sound of a 12 string, the whole sound of the seekers makes them the best group of the 60's
This band is great “”” the time era and everyone’s talent yes came in too play!! With so much effigy from their hearts that blended superb “””
Growing up in the 1960's, I remember the hits The Seekers had, but I don't think I've ever heard this. What a wonderful, enchanting performance by Judith and the other group members. Truly deeply impressive. Thanks so much for posting this.
This song always hits me in my heart.
Best band in their genre ever. Judith voice comes from heaven above. Magnificent
Pure Class. Back when things were a lot clearer and it was easier to appreciate the good things in life-like this
....and the stars always shine the brightest when the sky is the darkest. Behold the great contrast!
Just the BEST group there ever was. A true musical group. No gimmicks, no foul language. Just true virtuous, happy and soulful songs. I know this because my husband and I lived it. We'll never find another Judith!
This group has become my favorite of all time. Just plain ole beautiful music.
Music the entire family can enjoy, and parents don't have to feel anxious about any lewd or obscene acts by the performers.
A gift from our Father in Heaven! If you have ears, listen.
Judith has the voice of an angel and looked like one too. Such asimple pure tones! Fell in love with her as a child- still am ! Such beautiful harmonies too!
yes!
Beautiful song. Beautiful singer. Beautiful harmonies.
Frankly speaking I Cannot find any other voice as beautiful as Judith's. She's so sweet and wonderful to listen to.
@@sarahcameron9401 What a bizarre comment! Care to elaborate on how thousands of glowing comments regarding Judith on multiple videos are off base? I'm very curious to hear your thoughts.
@@sarahcameron9401 I just took your advice and "worked it out." After careful thought on all the evidence, I've come to the only obvious conclusion; to quote my favorite 20th century philosopher, F. Leghorn, "Son, you're about as sharp as a bowling ball."
I would put Nana Mouskouri in the same league.
God bless your spirit Judith, you beautiful beloved Australian angel as you take your flight into the heavens.
My Lord, what a beautiful voice, when Judith Durham begins to sing!
Fell in love with this beautiful girl aged 22 and after 53 happy married years Judith still melts my heart X
Never ever get tired of watching this.
Beautiful song that I used to sing in my childhood days.
Judith had an angelic beautiful voice!!
Whenever I play one of my Seekers albums the volume somehow creeps up real loud so I can hear Judiths lovely voice throughout my whole house. They were born the same year I was born and Judiths voice, after all those years, still brings tears to my eyes. R.I.P. dear.
The Seekers always great! Judith looks gorgeous.
Just re-discovered the group after many years. Beckons back to 'simpler' times, and that voice of Judith, absolutely thrilling.
It would be hard to over-state how respected, admired, and revered this group was---across the 3 million square miles of Australia.
The Seekers were a national institution of an Australia that is sadly disappearing.......
I cant believe how sweet Judith looks all the time...what an Angel with a voice from heaven...framed by three great guys and blessed musicians...
I was 7 years old when this special ran in 1968! Wouldn't you have loved to have been in the audience for this concert!! Judith's voice is once again Angelic and this is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard the Seekers sing! Thanks for sharing this video!!
She was such a beauty at that early time and never lost that beautiful voice that moves us to tears often!
What a wonderful rendition by one and only Judith Durham and the Seekers.... One of the finest and sweetest voices ever in the recorded history.
Very true, the harmonies of the 3 guys is impressive
What a wonderful voice!
I fell in love with the Seekers and Judith in June of 1965 when I was on vacation in Destin Florida- I heard I['ll never find another you on my transistor radio on the beach, and have never forgotten how moving the Seekers Music can be,.Here 51 years later I still find their music amazingly beautiful.
The best female singer I have encountered in seventy four years
I recently came across several of their songs, but that high note at the end was otherworldly and a complete surprise - great job! 👏
One of the most perfect angelic voices ever recorded
reefbismuth She is also a premier classical pianist.
WOW! Judith has the most beautiful, and sensational voice ever produced in our lifetime! She is so lovely!
I am constantly amazed every time I hear this perfect angel sing. What a much happier and gentle time it was back then. Simply the most pure female vocalist ever. Long live Judith and The Seekers.
Everything today is doom and gloom. Children are being raised through school to believe that the world is going to end.
EXACTLY! I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLE TELLING EXACTLY WHAT I FEEL.
There'll never be a group quite like the Seekers, especially Judith's exquisite voice
As far as female vocalists go,, for me it's a tie between Judith Durham and Karen Carpenter.
@@blakjack3053 Agreed but add in Annie Haslam too.
My Lord what a voice so effortless and perfect
it is difficult to believe that Judith had a severe lung condition caused by measles when she was nine years old and has plagued her all her life. She sure overcame that and a bunch of other ailments and accidents and still battled on. She certainly deserved her Order of Australia Medal
Beautiful. What a lovely voice.
Its was a great era when this band was in their prime. They still sound good I hear. This woman had a courageous strong voice. So talented.
