    So sad to hear this, she was one of the best singers ever. RIP Judith.

    Judith had the Prettiest Female Voice of All Times! She was a Beautiful Person! I loved all the songs from "The Seekers".
  • Just returned home to Canada a couple of evenings ago from Scotland where I attended a cremation service for my Mother on the 29th July. The only man she ever loved passed on some 17 years ago and the only woman who came between mother and father was an Australian singer by the name of Judith Durham. For me Judith will always be Friday. RIP.
  • Ah, they just don't make them like Judith Durham any more! Humble, articulate, decent, thankful, supremely gifted. I remember when The Seekers disbanded,and my late mother was so sad at that. She really loved that Band and all of their wonderful music. Ms Durham's legacy is immortal, and is one of the all time great female singers in my book!
  • @oakpoint
    Oh, no! Sadness does not begin to describe how I feel. She was amazing as was her group the Seekers!

    Judith may have been the pride of Australia, but she was the voice of the entire planet. God bless you Judy...

    A voice for the ages. I’ll never get tired of listening to “I’ll Never Find Another You.”

    She was dearly loved by my generation and many generations to follow. A beautiful beautiful person with a beautiful beautiful voice. 🥀🥀🥀
  • She had one of the most exquisitely pure singing voices I've ever heard. Natural, warm, effortless - it had everything. I got such joy from listening to the Seekers.
  • To us, she’s not gone… she’ll live forever through her music. I feel blessed to have lived in the same time as Judith Durham and The Seekers.
  • @TangoEliott
    She was strong of voice, character, goodness, and heart. She was magnificent. I will never forget her.
  • My mother loved The Seekers back in the day, still does. I grew up hearing this music. Amazing voice.
  • @mikejung1582
    Seekers and especially her unique voice continue to play forever on my iPod.
  • There will never be another like her! RIP Judith, you were so special. 💕
