Judith Durham: Former Seekers lead singer dies aged 79

Australian musician Judith Durham, best known as the lead singer of folk music group The Seekers, has died aged 79.

"Judith Durham gave voice to a new strand of our identity and helped blaze a trail for a new generation of Aussie artists," he wrote on social media. "Her kindness will be missed by many, the anthems she gave to our nation will never be forgotten."

Yu can ever b a seeks at elx

The Seekers had a song when I was about 5 that seemed to be mocking me for a trick the school bully had played on me. I thought he must know the Seekers and asked them to write the song to rub it in. These things are plausible when you are 5. The world is a smaller place.

RIP lovely lady. Such a sweet and beautiful voice
