Oztalgian 2,857 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 It was with great sadness that I heard of the death of Judith Durham of The Seekers, she was aged 79. She had a voice that once heard was never forgotten and now sadly The Carnival is Over but we have the enduring legacy of many songs. My abiding memory of her music is 4 twenty year old blokes in a Hillman Imp hammering down the MI on the way to a Forest away game listening to Childrens Favourites and belting out Morning Town Ride at the top of our voices. The soundtrack of our youth grows ever more silent. RIP Judith and thank you for the music. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 9,572 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 She was an Aussie girl with a very distinctive voice. The song Morningtown ride also reminds me of my childhood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 9,951 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Back in the day I thought the Seekers were old-fashioned and for 'squares', but in later years I rediscovered them and realised Judith Durham had one of the best voices ever on record. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mess 513 Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 Very sad news. Her voice was beautiful. She was a classically trained pianist too. RIP Judith 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
