  • A gift.

  • Good art doesn't gets older. I live in Brazil.

  • Since we're on the path of recommendations for her, listen to the Seekers' version of "What Have They Done To The Rain?". I have to listen more than once to that gem.

  • If You think this is Good, Check out "Walk With Me". It's Totally Haunting & leaves you Shivering for the rest of the day.

    I've tried looking for another voice like Judith's in the hope that this is a certain Style of Singing. But there's no other Voice like it. She Really is the only person on the Planet that can reduce a person to Tears with a single performance. 

  • @therealKINDLE

    Judith is wonderful but so was Karen Carpenter on tracks like " This Masquerade " and Shirley Bassey gas a different style but sensational voixe and presence.

    Try Annie Haslam of the 1970's English Group=Renaissance on Songs like "Ashes Are Burning " and "Mother Russia " for another beautiful delivery.

  • @Isleofskye Thanks for that! The carpenters I'd heard of & they are not really my type tbh. But Renaissance is right up my street with songs like those you mentioned! Bloody hell! Amazing material. It's such a shame we always have to go back to the 60s & 70's for good music in a way though. All the female singers now are about as talented as a politician's hair stylist! They only know how to scream at the top of their voice. Awful.

    She's not very well known, but check out 'Carrie Tree'. Thanks.

  • Devine!

  • Judith is a Jewish name. Call me crazy, but I have for some mysterious reason the strong feeling that she is a reincarnation of Mary of Magdalene.

  • Knockout voice.

  • I remember watching this on our old tv back in 68,great song.

  • This beats the heck out of what one sees on those stupid idol shows nowadays!!

  • Wow, beautiful song and voice!!

  • After 40+ years of knowing my favourite Seekers running order of songs along comes this one and knocks them into a cocked hat. Curse you, Proculled! But very many thanks too, of course! It's a masterpiece!

  • Judith has one most beautiful and pure popular music voices I have ever heard. Love to listen to all of the Seekers songs....

  • A totally bewitching voice.

  • What a marvelous outstanding excptional voice Judith has. I was just over 1years

    old when this was performed. I feel so blessed to be able to come across this

    exquisite magical music. God Bless you for having the Seekers music here for so

    many of us can find it here and enjoy. This song makes me feel so peaceful &

    touches my heart.

  • Darn minor key. I almost cried.

  • @Entropy56 Great knowledge, and no one could say "olive" more beautifully.

  • Hi Proculled.. have to agree with everybody else.. thanks for posting and keeping the music of the seekers alive.. I only have one CD Future road... been looking for their earlier CD's but most places either Sold Out! or don't stock it? I will keep looking tho

  • @hook55 I think Youtube is the only channel now that can keep their songs alive and where younger people around the world can come over their songs.

    Yes many of their CD's are sadly not for sale anymore.It has taken time but I now have a rich archive with most of what they have released.

  • @hook55 musicstack have a good selection of Seekers on all types of media

  • There were many good folk singers at this time in history.There was much wrong in the world to sing about.But few singers had the voice of Judith Durham.Take care ADonovan43

  • I am not familliar with this song, but a beautiful song. Her voice has such a warm quality. Amazing.

  • beautiful song sung long ago and far away

  • What a desperately lovely voice and person.

  • Love her soft tremble as she sings!

  • Splendid f*****g great singer, love, love, love

  • Wicked, man !

  • Timeless!

  • Beautiful voice - gracious lady

  • What a beautiful song! I've not heard this song performed before, but what a song and another great performance from Judith. Her voice truly has a matchless quality.

    I enjoy watching the Seekers videos and hearing again the great music they sang in the sixties. A truly unique sound that has remained fresh and vibrant.

    Does the Olive Tree appear on any of their albums?

  • Beautiful

  • I am going to sing this song and fell in love with it when I heard Judith Durham. I'd so love to sing like her

  • Thank you Proculled for posting this Seekers Beauties

  • :-) Keep their songs from times long gone in your heart always.

  • The "background" flute is somewhat overbearing on this video, distracting slight from Judith's solo, but Judith's powerful, enchanting voice carries this song to new heights. Thanks Proculled. Once again, you've given us a priceless video!

  • Just brilliant. Thanx thanx for posting

  • Un Angel Cantando,

  • Forget all your modern day female singers, this is pure magic!

  • Absolutely. Judith has a matchless quality to her voice. A beautiful song.

  • @casterman80 UR so right the only nearest rival would be Alison Krauss

  • I had almost forgotten this lovely song. Thank you a thousand times for bringing back so many memories.

  • Thanks for your comment,not many find their way here to hear Judith sing this lovely song.I hope she gave you good memories here.

  • Judith is 25 years old when she recorded this. I have heard that a person is at their peak at that age and it certainly shows in her performance. Perfect.

  • It's difficult to measure perfection in any terms..... but would this be her best performance? Anything she sings is a revelation but I doubt I have heard her in better voice than this. Is anybody in posession of 'Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen' by the Seekers ? ...and can post?  best wishes to everyone and thank you Proculled.....Kel.

  • You shouls search for judith durham - Plaisir dámour, even better sung than this and 25 years later

  • one of the most perfect songs to have been written by the great Tom Springfield.Judith has such a sweet and pure voice it is difficult to imagine anyone else doing it justice.

  • Class Act all the way

    Thanks for posting

  • How did I miss all this in the 60s?

  • I Love This Lady and The Seekers.

    What Legends and Yet So Underated.

  • Judith Durham of the famed group The Seekers from the 1960's. Probably the finest female vocalist to ever visit my audio senses. Just bought her Diamond night DVD, and it is a real treat

  • you've just discovered Judith Durham of the 1960's era Australian folk group The Seekers. The sweetest voice of the folk era-nobody is even close. She's in her own league. Watch her video clips on you tube-

  • Lovely! I love olives, the color olive green, olive trees and doves. Beautiful imagery in this. What wonderful days when I was a kid and you could find music like this. I love ALL music, but this is something rare.

  • Damn, I should have married her when I had the time!

  • Ah Judith.......what is not to love about this lovely lady.

  • a very touching song

  • pro

  • janmarsh

    Twins you and me,mate.

  • Judith will always be a beautiful person and talent.

    I just love her.

    Thank you.

    George Vreeland Hill

  • I should point out that nearly fifty years later, I have still not totally recovered......... & never want to.

  • Pete Townsend had pictures of Lily.

    As a twelve year old, I had pictures of Judith. She messed me up good & proper !!

  • I never got to see a picture of Judith before summer of 1971 when I came over some single records.Before that I could only hear them on the radio,we had no record player.

  • I just visited her website and found that many many men over 50 and some under have secretly fallen in love with her. I know I have.

  • Absolutly Wonderful Thanks for postin , Love Dave

  • I have always loved her voice, I remember those days. She has the only voice that compares with Dusty Springfield's. Extraordinary.

  • this is such a nice performance..judith

  • What a voice...

  • I hear this with my heart en not just my ears, as all she sings.

  • I think a lot of us do that.Her voice is like a key that opens the inner door to our hearts.

  • One of the truly great voices of all time. I'm actually speechless.

  • And 35 years later she was just as good.

  • What a beautiful voice!

    She is just as good today.

    Love Judith.

  • Thanx proculled, you've enhanced my live with the beautiful seekers video's. Strange that not more people have seen this one, it's superb

  • Yes they have touched many with their songs.

    I also think this is a lovely song and play the single from 1967 often.But it's not one of their most well known.

  • It certainly is superb, Judith is truly amazing - this was released as her first solo single in the UK and had an orchestral backing, the boys were not involved in this at all. The single reached no 33 in the charts and was then pulled because of the poor quality of the recording, it was then re-released, but by pulling it, EMI shot the sales in the foot. It would have charted far higher if there hadn;t been the sound problems.

  • so beautiful, it brings tears to my eyes every time i listen.

  • Judith's voice is amazing...Such power and emotion... It's clarity and pureness is truly exceptional...She has been blessed with a unique gift...It's a real privilege to hear her sing.

  • Olive Tree is a beautiful song and Judith sings it with such emotion. It is great to see this show again. I saw it when it was originaly on the telly at home in England. I prefer the versions like her 2003 concert where the arrangement is less busy, but this is A1. Judith is the best and most versatile there is !!

  • one has to comprehend how young she is here, and the performance she gives is simply outstanding.breathtaking

  • i cant say i know anita csrter but the only other female singer not around now that had great voice was karen carpenter.

  • It doesn't say much for today's society when millions have watched Amy Winehouse drunk on stage on a U-Tube video and only a fraction of that number will ever watch this fabulous live performance. Amy W. is not even fit to be the the soles of Judith's shoes

  • todays society dosent know what talent is.

  • Another gem from the '68 farewell concert...Judith's singing as always is so beautiful...She sings with such emotion and feeling, yet so  it's effortless and unforced...It takes a very special ability to be able to do that, and only Judith can...Her voice is unique amongst her female contempories...She has no equal!

  • in my views there only three singers female that could carry this song . judith durham doris day and the late karen carpenter.

  • I'd add the late Anita Carter to that list

  • thanks for this its not often you hear this song these days or a voice like judiths sings it so clearly.

  • No your right there,their songs are not played much now a days on radio or tv.Lets hope they can keep on living here.

  • Thanks for another song that demonstrates Judith Durham's wonderful voice. Excellent video.
