Farewell Georgy Girl
Two female Australian icons have passed in the past few days
Judith Durham, the female vocalist in the 1960's group The Seekers past away 3 days ago. For any of the members here born in the 1950 era, you will remember The Seekers. They were the first Australian group to reach number 1 on the American music charts with their song Georgy Girl. https://www.theseekers.com.au/about-...r%20an%20Oscar. Only yesterday, I was listening to a tribute for Judith during which the commentator made a statement along the lines of "in my 50 years of commentating on all the various artists around the world, there are only 2 people I have never heard a bad word about. Judith Durham and ONJ". And now today we hear Olivia Newton John has passed. That's in another thread here so I wont elaborate other to say how much of an impact she has made on my family's life with her OLJ Wellness Centre in particular breast cancer research.

Very sad here right now!
Another you was one of the first songs I learned to play on guitar back then. Her voice was sweet yet powerful!

My wife and I 'adopted ' their song 'I Know I'll Never Find Another You' as ours after our Marriage Encounter weekend. RIP. Prayers sent.

A lovely soprano voice.
I was listening to the Seekers perform "We are Austrailian" on YT last weekend and thought she was just a lovely woman. And now, she's gone. The wheel of life keeps on turning. Farewell, Judith. RIP.

It's a shame we have to get older and sick. RIP ladies. I know we'll never find another you. That goes for both of you.
