There’s much talk today of the death of Olivia Newton-John, the famous Australian singer. And that’s appropriate. She was a great talent (not to mention a heartthrob for my generation).
But I just learned of the death, last Friday, of another great Australian singer. Judith Durham of the Seekers succumbed to a long-standing lung condition. She was 79.
According to what I’ve read, Miss Durham was a Christian who hesitated at first to go into secular music because she was committed to Gospel.
The Seekers’ music was unique. I hope it lasts forever, because it sure means a lot to this old man.
Rest in peace.
I’ll Never Find Another You…..enjoyed them immensely.
It wasn’t just Judith, they were all great.
Very true. A unique sound.
I have records by the Seekers and the “New Seekers.” But Judith always.
I just listened to Georgia girl and it brought and it brought back memories. I had just learned about Judith’s death and felt sad when I learned about it. However I was comforted to know that she was a Christian. She will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace beautiful lady. I graduated high school in 68. I suppose I must have been so self involved that I didn’t pay much mind to Judith, but I rediscovered her a while back and began to realize just how much beauty i had been missing all that time, and now she’s gone. I know I’ll never find another you. Such a sweet heart gone forever.
I’m a similar case. Never really paid much attention to the Seekers when they were big, but gradually realized their greatness after years had passed.
Judith Durham and the seekers were absolutely a fabulous group. When I hear then singing it’s such a beautiful sound, a sound that will never be recreated They were a clean cut group and I can listen to their music all day As for the death of Judith Durham it was not just a loss to Australia her death was a loss to the world.
