I've loved her voice for as long as I can remember.
20 or more years ago, a British member of Ron Smith's old message board once sent me 4 of her old LP's that were British pressings. One of the albums was the Seekers' Come The Day lp. I still have that lp and treasure it.

I posted this here in 2021, but it seems like a good time for a second look. This is a great documentary on the group, with Judith Durham prominently featured.
