Judith Durham RIP

Post by Paul K »

Those of a certain age will remember Judith and The Seekers well. She had a wonderful singing voice.

Now that really takes me back in time to the swinging sixties although for a 13 year old it was not so much as swinging but more like toeing the line!!

Loved their music.

Rest in Peace Judith.

Regards
Nigel.

They weren’t one of my favourite bands of the time but their distinctive sound is very evocative of the period. Those who remember Children’ Favourites’ on the radio on Saturday mornings will recall hearing them many times particularly singing
‘Morningtown Ride’(I think that’s its title) Anyway R.I.P Judith.EricT
Now at the age where I know I like girls but can't remember why!

Very sad news. Her songs always pop up when I'm listening to music on YouTube. Rest in peace Judith...and thank you. :(

Yes very sad. I seem to remember she was classically trained. So she had a very distinctive voice.

I was given one of the Seekers' LPs for my 21st.
Mrs A never liked it, but I rather enjoyed "Red Rubber Ball."
Apparently, she was very generous, and spent years working for charities.
R.I.P. Judith.

Sad news indeed. She had a beautiful voice and I enjoyed The Seekers and still do. Part pf the soundtrack of my teen age years.
Rest in Peace Judith!
