Although it's difficult for those who weren't there to believe, for a short time during late and early the popularity of this singing quartet from Australia was sufficient to rival the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. They played acoustic instruments even the upright bassand they were closer in image and inspiration to the likes of the Rooftop Singers "Walk Right The Seekersthe New Christy Minstrels "Green Green," etc. The Seekers were formed in Australia in by Athol Guy vocals, bass; b. January 5,Victoria, AustraliaKeith Potger vocals, string guitar; b. Potger had The Seekers a band in the late '50s called the Trinamics, doing covers of Buddy HollyEddie Cochranet al. The breakup of both groups got the two The Seekers them together with Woodley and a singer named Ken Rayand they formed a doo wop outfit called the Escorts. Bythe folk boom that had started sweeping America and England in had made its way to Australia, and the Escorts The Seekers into the Seekers. By late that year, they'd met Judith Durham b. July 3, The Seekers, Melbournewho worked at the same advertising agency where Athol Guy had his day job. She'd been born with perfect pitch and had intended to The Seekers opera until she was bitten by the jazz bug in the mid-'50s. She was quickly worked into the group as a sort of "fifth Seeker. Fate played a hand in early when the group was offered a chance to perform on board a ship for a year's worth of international cruises. This got them to The Seekers in May of for a ten-week stay -- they had already sent copies of their recordings ahead of them, and when they arrived, they discovered that one of the top talent agencies in London was not only prepared to represent them, but, on the strength of those recordings, had already booked them. The cruise performances were abandoned, and two albums in quick succession followed for World Record Club, along with a very choice gig performing on the televised Sunday Night at the London Palladium. Their new agent, Eddie Jarratt, brought them to the attention of Tom Springfieldbrother of Dusty and an ex-member of the folksinging trio the Springfields. He saw in the Seekers The Seekers chance to extend the work he'd done with the Springfieldsand, with Jarratt, formed a production company that signed the Seekers up. Springfield became their resident producer and songwriter. Duringthe group had made the acquaintance of a young American folksinger living in London named Paul Simonwho also collaborated with Bruce Woodley -- the one composer within the performing ranks of the Seekers -- on the writing of one song, "Red Rubber Ball. The group's sound was based in folk music, but had the polish and some of the flash of folk-rock. They didn't even have an electric bass, but the soaring harmonies, The Seekers with Keith Potger 's powerfully strummed acoustic string and Woodley 's emphatic six-string playing, gave them a sound not too The Seekers removed from that of the Searchersand not out of place in a musical era dominated by the sounds of the Beatles ' acoustic period "In My Life," "Michelle," etc. Their The Seekers, which included covers of contemporary folk compositions as well as new arrangements of traditional songs, were somewhat more uneven and didn't sell as well. But as singles artists, the Seekers enjoyed enormous popularity, rivaling that of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. The group's British album Come the Dayreleased The Seekers inwas slightly reconfigured with the addition of the hit and released in America as Georgy Girlprobably the best of all their LPs, containing a stunning array of originals by Springfield and Woodleyand superb covers of songs such as Tom Paxton 's "The Last Thing on My Mind. By this time, however, changing tastes in America were starting to catch up with the The Seekers. They enjoyed hits of differing proportions on both sides of the Atlantic with "Morningtown Ride," and had two The Seekers chart singles in England, their days as a top-selling recording act in the United States were clearly numbered. It didn't have to be that way -- they'd had the chance to The Seekers at the Academy Awards ceremonies that spring, which would have allowed them The Seekers be seen by tens millions of Americans, but they had concert obligations in England. Their upbeat pop sound seemed increasingly The Seekers of touch with the darkening mood in the United States, especially among the kids. In England, however, the group's commercial fortunes continued The Seekers and beyond. Their concert album, Live at The Seekers Talk of the Town -- which showed them less a The Seekers group than a The Seekers outfit -- got to number two and became their best-selling British album to date. The company followed this with The The Seekers of the SeekersThe Seekers reached number one in By that time, Judith Durham had decided to leave, and the group was officially disbanded in early following a farewell concert that was broadcast on British television. As it turned out, the Seekers didn't quite vanish. Keith Potger organized and managed a group christened the The Seekers Seekerswith an entirely new membership, who cultivated the same audience that had brought his old outfit to the top of the charts at the end of the The Seekers -- more reminiscent of groups such as the Serendipity Singers or the latter-day New Christy Minstrelsthey were far more of a pop outfit than a folk group. They made an international hit out of the Coca-Cola jingle "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," perhaps the The Seekers corporate anthem to top the charts. The Seekers themselves had a The Seekers reunion in Australia in with Louisa Wisseling substituting for Judith Durhamwho had embarked on a fairly successful solo The Seekers, with one hit single, "Olive Tree," and a album entitled Here I Am to her credit. The re-formed group's new recording of "Sparrow Song" topped the Australian charts. The mid-'70s The Seekers saw the release of a pair of Seekers compilations in England and America, although the American Very Best of the Seekers was peculiar, since "Georgy Girl" wasn't on it. Inanother hits compilation came out in England, and in the early '90s a British hits compilation finally appeared on compact disc. Then, inCapitol Records in America released a song retrospective as part of its Capitol Collectors Serieswhich has since been deleted. A car crash left Durham severely injured, but inthe original members of the group, including Durhamre-formed and played more than concerts, including a series of silver anniversary shows at the Royal Albert Hall. The Seekers, in The Seekers, a box set of the complete recorded work of the Seekers, filling five CDs, was released in Australia. AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.
