Before Air Supply, before Olivia Newton-John, before even the Bee Gees, Australia had given the world of popular music a fantastic folk/rock group, The Seekers.With Athol Guy (double bass & vocals), Keith Potger (twelve string guitar, banjo & vocals), Bruce Woodley (guitar, mandolin, banjo & vocals) and the incomparably lovely voice of Judith Durham, the Seekers had a string of nine smash hits in Australia and Great Britain, with several scoring success even in the U.S.
I give you three here for your Wednesday tea break. All three were written by Dusty Springfield's brother, Tom -- "I'll Never Find Another You," "A World of Our Own," and the Seekers' biggest U.S. hit, "Georgy Girl."
They are all terrific. And for some of us, they bring back a lot of distant but yet lively memories. And that smile of Judith's? Like her voice, it's priceless!
