Long before Australia exported Steve Irwin, Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee, Olivia Newton-John or Helen Reddy, they had an official national brand.
It was The Seekers, and fronting for them was the woman who had one of the most perfect voices in pop music history. I've had a crush on Judith Durham since I heard her singing this, back when could count my age on my hands in one go, and this clip of their triumphant return home concert in 1967 is 150 seconds of musical perfection.
It also stands the test of time; here's their original foursome's 50th Anniversary concert from 2017:
And I'm pretty sure I still have a crush on Judith Durham.
Great. Now I've got a crush on her, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Juke-box worthy. Don't forget Karen Carpenter.
ReplyDeleteYou can't have a crush on Judith Durham, I have a crush on Judith Durham and I saw her first... I agree she is a treasure! Back when you could listen and understand music.
ReplyDelete"Time in a Bottle"....
ReplyDelete"Time, don't run out on me...."
"I've Had the Time of My Life...."
"Time"
Time flies, eh ? Seems to just disappear.
WOW!
ReplyDeleteSfunny. I've been listening to this group for about 3 years, online. (I loved them in the 60's). She is my number 2 favorite female vocalist after Karen Carpenter.
ReplyDeleteAesop, I don't know if you're a man of wealth. But you certainly are a man of taste.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget "Morningtown Ride"
ReplyDeleteI listen to this song about twenty times a year...going back decades.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Judith is my girl since I first saw her. I could listen to her read a cereal box.
She is good. Always loved this tune and I looked for Georgy girl in my travels. Women who are good looking and have not been told they are since they could walk are the best. Find one and you will never be lonely again.
