The Seekers – I’ll Never Find Another You (1965)
Founded in Australia in 1963, the original Seekers comprised Athol Guy, Keith Potger, Bruce Woodley and Ken Ray. After a year with the above line-up, Athol Guy recruited Judith Durham (b. 3 July 1943, Melbourne, Australia) as the new lead singer and it was this formation that won international success.
Following a visit to London in 1964, the group were signed to the Grade Agency and secured a prestigious guest spot on the televised Sunday Night At The London Palladium.
Tom Springfield, of the recently defunct Springfields, soon realized that the Seekers could fill the gap left by his former group and offered his services as songwriter/producer.
Although 1965 was one of the most competitive years in pop, the Seekers strongly challenged the Beatles and the Rolling Stones as the top chart act of the year.
A trilogy of folk/pop smashes, Ill Never Find Another You, A World Of Our Own and The Carnival Is Over, widened their appeal, leading to lucrative supper-club dates and frequent television appearances.
