The Carnival is Over for the sweet sound of icon Judith Durham of the Seekers at age 79. Open up them Pearly Gates!
Though most from the 60s would think of her as a pop singer, Judith loved to sing jazz and more soulful songs.
With her clear voice she was an icon from 50 years ago with songs written for her [[and the Seekers) such as 'I'll never find another you' & 'Georgy Girl' by Tom Springfield [[brother of Dusty) & 'Someday One Day by Paul Simon.
When she re-joined the Seekers in the early 1990s, she sang 'I Am Australian' [[written by fellow Seeker Bruce Woodley) which since then has been suggested as a new national anthem.
For those who may have never heard of her [[you could think of her as an Australian Karen Carpenter though she deserves to stand on her own record) google the above songs or watch this clip from a decade ago performed in her sixties
