A few years ago I really got into the song "I'll Never Find Another You." "Georgy Girl" was famous when I was a kid, but until recently I never paid attention to any of their other songs. Was really bummed out when I read this today.
Judith Durham, Australia's folk music icon, dies at 79
Quote:
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Judith Durham, Australia's folk music icon who achieved global fame as the lead singer of The Seekers, has died. She was 79.
Durham died in Alfred Hospital in Melbourne on Friday night after suffering complications from a long-standing lung disease, Universal Music Australia and Musicoast said in a statement on Saturday.
She made her first recording at 19 and rose to fame after joining The Seekers in 1963. The group of four became the first Australian band to achieve major chart and sales success in the U.K. and the United States, eventually selling 50 million records.
