A Jamieson Smile: The "Timbre" (the Spiritual Color & Tone ) of Judith Durham. The Timbre (color & tone) of the Gospel. "Someone's singing Lord." "Someone's crying Lord." To Walk in: (1) "loving Kindness", to walk in (2) "love" & to walk with (3) "a sound mind" is to walk with the Lord. These are the key traits of Charity. May Judith walk in the Comfort of the Lord, forever, Amen. Veritas, Peter (Jamieson). PS Judith does have a wit. The opening notes... Refer to: "All I Can Remember".
i bought my first seekers album when i was 9 .im 41. i loved and lip synced kumbaya ..and morning town ...bruce judith atholl and the other one were great ....love the seekers.. get a feeling of wholeness
Magnificent tribute,a great group, and Judith really is heavenly and her gift of music has made millions of people around the world have many good moments, and we are all better she was and is here on this earth
Would like to have sent Trossachs2003 a note and suggest he check on Judith here on youtube singing 'Summertime' just a few years ago....simply magnificent. You're right in saying that here is one of the great voices of this century. I agree 100%
A great song in the form of worship. In India, in the Chennai part where we live, a great Lutheran Pastor, wrote a lyric in the local language and set to music almost on this line, meaning, 'I worship thee my Lors" Graet
the first time I heard The Seekers version of this standard it sent chills down by back (I'm not a young man!); the harmonies are great and the arrangement is very clever
The problem I have with Manhattan Transfer is that regardless of genre, they always sound monotonously the same. Their style has never pulled me to them, although I can appreciate their excellent harmony.
Linda Ronstadt simply isn't in the same class as the Seekers, as she lacks the gifted vocal talent and range of Judith Durham, and has never had instrumental and vocal backup as superb as Judith had with Athol, Bruce and Keith.
manhatten transfer were ok but only remembered for chanson'd' amour the seekers had many more hits and i would say alot more fans both in the sixties at there peak and now with a new generation listening to them
1sedition1 uhhh no.... It's about a semitone down but has lost very little in terms of dynamics or power... Not quite the same I'll give you; but she's holding up better that almost any of her contemporaries!
I checked this out a coupla months back in answer to another question, using my guitar: A semitone down was about right. Not bad over forty years. Still one of the great voices of the 20thC
There will never be another group like the wonderful Seekers - they have been, particularly Judith Durham a part of neary all my life - since I was 6 and I am now 55 - I knew Judith before she became a Seeker.
love this song i sing it by the camp fire!!!

The "Wit of Judith Durham": The opening notes of "Kumbaya"
Refer to - young Judith's - "All I Can Remember".
"Kumbaya" is a Southern tongue meaning, "Come by here, my Lord".
"Come with love". The verses are sung by Girl Scouts & Boy Scouts around the campfires.
With loving eyes & heart,
Peter (Jamieson).

Hey Aussie friends-can we have Judith D and the Seekers as our own here in the US? I'll trade you every American group you can ever think of

Definitly were under rated here in North America. A simply fantastic group and Judith's voice is angelic.

Their album, "The Seekers Complete" 5 CD boxed set is available from Amazon, and is a showcase of this group's incredible talent.
I am not aware of another group in the history of pop music covering the wide musical range of the Seekers with the same effortless ease and talent.
Pop, Bluegrass, Gospel, Traditional, you name it the Seekers excelled at what ever genre they happened to be singing!
It IS a pity that their UK-based management in the 60's did not promote them in North America.

I think the Manhatten Transfer music might span a broader range.
They do various flavors of jazz, rock, a little devo-style stuff, some gospel, Braziliian.
Also Linda Ronstadt does country, rock, jazz, and traditional Mexican folk music.

Ya, she is still good, but having been spoiled with her 60's voice, it makes me picky.

@TFGtv1 I think she's lost nothing. And in fact has a soulfulness and richness like never before.

I have lately seen a video of US soldiers in Iraq sitting around the fire and singing this song alltogether, what a hypocricy i must say.
Despite that, nice singer with a strong voice and the song is outwiping !
