What a treat this is!

This version of the song rings truer than that of the Cyrkle. The Seekers give it that touch of bitterness that the cheerful, bouncy version lacks. There is a profound sense of loss in the song. The Seekers unleash it.

God bless you Judith. You are an angel.

A phenomenal remake !!!

I’ve loved this song since it was a hit for The Cyrkle!! I love it even more knowing the story behind it AND having The Seekers sing it!!! ❤☀️🔴☀️❤️

What is not known is that for nearly 10 maybe 20 years Simmon failed to give Bruce writing credits. I believe it took a few legal letters to amend the record and pay Bruce what he was owed.

The Cyrkle opened for the Beatles in Shea Stadium in 1966. This week I've watched everyone do it thru the magic of KZread. Great song.

Funny how Bruce's speaking voice is raspy, but he sings the same as he did back in 1967.

Nice song

Beautiful, wonderful song that brings back that beautiful, rich, experimentally cross functionally fecund/ fertile period & era ...of the growing global era of folk music.. - plus SEAsia, India, Ceylon, etc etc the entire British colonial world incl the Carribean, SE Asia N America - and even esp far flung British outposts scattered across the planet..Malaya, Singapore, HongKong, plus places like the Philippines with a mixed but rich musical heritage.. Salud ! Gracias ! 🍀🗽🙏🏼

What a completely excellent group!

An incredibly beautiful lady

Lovely

Rest in paradise Judith. One of the greats.

Wow-what an amazing performance!

It not often that there is a song where Judith is not featured. She blends in very well and it is always a joy to see them perform live. Thank you.

Every good singer knows how to sing harmonies, but I must say that Durham's harmonies in this song are strikingly inventive and effective.

Wow!! What a great performance!! Wasn't expecting it to be that good live!!

A favorite song of the entire family 💖💖😍💖💖💖😍💖😍😍💕😍💖💖💖😍💖💖💖

I didn't know the history of this song. Thanks

I think for many Americans the first Seekers song they heard was "Georgy Girl", thanks to the movie. But for me it was "Red Rubber Ball". I actually heard their version before I heard The Cyrcle's version. So of course I liked it better. And to this day I like it better. RIP Judith Durham.

RIP Judith, thank you for the music....

I knew Paul Simon wrote it, but I was unaware of the co-author. Very nice rendition.

Me too!

I think I like this version better.

Gave me chills. How wonderful. Thank You!

Thank you rich963 for sharing this stunningly beautiful video presentation with all of us.

I’ve listened to list about 20 times in a row, I can’t get enough of it…just beautiful and their harmonies are impeccable. What a pleasure to listen to!!! This had a painful connection for me when my husband was about to leave (20 years ago) and now I love it more than ever. Ive always loved the groups upbeat and bright music, it’s wonderful to hear positivity in this negative world. You all look great, too! ❤

Thanks Rich this song has lived the passing of time and we a blessed to have the Seekers sing it to us.

I needed this song tonight, Rich. I certainly didn't know that Paul Simon and Bruce Woodley wrote this song together. Despite the quite fierce lyrics there's gentleness and trust in life, not just that the sun will keep rising despite....the morning sun Is rising.

What a band, wonderful to see them again!

Love Judith on that tambourine! 😍

„She played the most dangerous tambourine in town“

This is an early work by the great Paul Simon! written by Bruce Woodley of The Seekers and Paul Simon of Simon & Garfunkel

I loved this song so much!!!❤

So wonderful how well they blend with no one dominant. Top class musicians and entertainers.

And Great to hear Bruce soloing.

GREETINGS FROM THE USA THEY ARE MY ALL TIME FAVORITE GROUP ❤🇺🇸

There aren’t enough terrific words to describe this performance. At least I don’t have them. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece..Mac

GRAN CANCION .....LINDA BANDA.....saludos desde Bogota - Columbia.......

Great harmonies....very well done!

EXCELLENT!!!! I like this rendition MUCH better than the Cyrkle's. With the perspective of time, I appreciate the Seekers now more than ever.

Amazing!!

Oh, and thanks so much for posting this. Lovely performance.

Great play, great find. Keep it up. Lovers of JD and the Seekers never get enough. I loved the history told, and I agree with one of the others comments that even when JD is not featured, there's no group that's better.

Brilliant and thanks for posting. Love the Seekers. Judy's voice was pitch perfect.

I have to ask. We S A D L Y lost Judith in 2022...and this states above this was done in 2023? What am I missing from across the pond?

Sorry Bruce but it didn't get to no. 1 in the Billboard chart in US.

Three grey haired guys that look their age and some lady in the middle who hasn't aged a day. Cough Cough!

nice one rich
