Great words Ronnie. I grew up with these folks too and was in Nam as well. I couldn't have said it better than you did. I feel for Judith tho, I'll bet she thinks of her hubbie when she sings this song for he died a few years back. Thanks Seekers for the memories and staying togethe...

Socialist pigs all!!!

Who is the first girl that starts this video???

I saw the Carpenters perform around 1971 at Meramec Community College in Kirkwood, MO (suburb of St Louis) with my soon to be wife Marilyn. We'll never forget it. It was a magic night. They were at the top then and I felt lucky now I saw them in person. Great talent. We miss you Karen.

@Dumaguetenonputi

Thanks, I didn't know that. Shame they never made a recording of it other than YouTube.

Beautiful acoustics in the hall they were playing in. I don't see where the singer is flat, I do hear sort of her own version of the song tho. I do like her voice but wish she would just sing it like it was originally sung. Totally agree tho, the band did sound really pretty the way they playe...

Marian Hutton was Betty Hutton's sister. If you've ever seen Betty Hutton sing, some of the mannerism's & facial expressions Marian expresses in this song match to a tee Betty's style. It's no wonder these two dolls were popular in WWII and long after the 40's ended as well. Check out Betty H...

"How many other groups can still do this; still play and sing when they're 67-70years old?" The answer Dumaguetenonputi is... NOT many. Most of the American groups from the 60's aren't very much intact. Experiencing deaths from being "hard on the gas pedal and brakes" in life and aren't with u...

With pleasures too refin'd to please

With too much spirit to be e'er at ease

You purchase pain with all that joy can give

and die of nothing but Rage to Live.

Miss you girl,

Pretty sure Judith was born in 1943, so that makes her 68. Yep what a doll. I remember her & the Seeker's music from my HS and military service days in the early & mid 60's. Great memories watching these You Tube recordings.

As a boomer, I grew up with Peggy Lee and liked her songs a lot i.e. "Fever" & others. She did the Siamese Cats song in Lady & the Tramp. But I never knew she had a whole other career in the 40's singing with the Big Bands esp as Benny Goodman's female vocalist until I punched her name in ITunes....

FYI: Honolulu is on Turner Classics this week (end of March 2011). I've got it setup for taping on my DVR.

Yep, the Mickey Mouse Club taught Bobby well. I remember watching him dance on there and the LW Show. Calcutta was a no 1 hit and brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing on You Tube. I had a big crush on Janet Lennon (popular WAY before John & no relation) and watched their show eve...

I used to have the old 78 of this song and the flip side was even better, "He's 1A in the Army and A1 in my Heart". This song is Helen's trademark tho.

@DabAndrew

You are a lucky guy or gal. I'd buy it if you were selling it but in that you're from the UK, it probably wouldn't play on my DVD player in that I'm from the US. They have different country codes or classifications for DVD's for different countries, which your DVD player is specific...

@bellrieve Amen, I feel the same way.

gaga and her the usual list of trollup supposedly talented current pop singers can't hold a candle to Judith. The Seekers were/are a class act. Judith, on top of her singing talent, is an accomplished pianist and I believe has a degree in music. The day Gaga gets an invite to sing with Andre R...

This beautiful and great old song will be sung to my wife at my 40th wedding anniversary in 2012. It fits the future scenario perfect and a song I remember and cherish from the 60's. God Bless you guys. The Seekers, what a class act.

This was my favorite Gene Pitney song. I had just turned 16 and it brings back so many memories. The 60's were a great time to be growing up. Thanks God for making me a boomer.

I think this song was from 1959 or 60. I was 13 in 1960 and it was REALLY popular. Connie was THE hottest women on TV at the time and I was in love with her back then. She did a few albums but was in a lot of movies and was in a TV series called "Sunset Strip" I think also. Great memories. ...

They'll be playing Glenn Miller years from now after Gaga and her ilk are fogotten and considered bad memories. These big band leaders were accomplished musicians and had lots of class. Most could play the piano and other instruments with the ability to actually write REAL music for the whole o...
