For Australians, '60's folk music fans, newcomers to YouTube, and all who appreciate the female voice
Well, now I know I have too much time on my hands. Normally I wouldn't start such a post, but if I can contribute a bit to anyone's enjoyment of life on this troubled planet tonight, wonderful.
I am continually amazed by what can be found on the internet, but especially on YouTube. Who made all these old videos, how they even survived to this day, and how YouTube aficionados get ahold of them and know how to upload them -it's all beyond me.
I was a youngster(elementary school) with four older siblings during the mid '60's when this song was recorded by the Australian group "The Seekers". My brothers and sisters constantly played popular music in our home, sang it, and danced to it. The 'folk' hits were among my favorites. Having an artistic temperament and later becoming a voice major in undergraduate school enhanced my appreciation of melody, harmony, and what it takes to sing well. I especially enjoy hearing the female voice, particularly the soprano or mezzosoprano.
All that to suggest that the lead in this group, Judith Durham, has been gifted with perhaps the purest, sweetest, most natural sound I've ever heard. Listen to the following(and other singles listed on the right of the screen) and enjoy(let me know if the link for some reason doesn't take you to a Seekers' recording session -I'm new and not too savvy at this stuff):
YouTube - The Seekers - I'll Never find another you

P.S. I left this on my computer tonight and left a card on the counter instructing my sweetheart to replay it and know that the words approximated what I've been thinking about her today -it was a good evening.
