First, Judith Durham and then Olivia Newton-John. Although I had not heard much of ether for some time, they were both in their own way, highly talented and it is a sad that they are no longer with us.
In fact my weather today is not that far short of Perth WA in January.

With all there are to pick from you choose a Yank, a Kiwi, and a pedo (but yeah he's from WA)
Next thing you'll be telling us Rod Stewart is Scottish? Or Shane MacGowan is Irish?

Yes, I remember it well. My Grandad even liked them. The Carnival is truly over.
I also remember Olivia's Xanadu. RIP both.

I agree and the harmonies were terrific as well. Thanks for digging that out because I always loved her voice. Some think it corny to like her but these days where there is so much cynicism it is wonderful to hear that clear unadulterated music.

Sounds like Rick from Casablanca.

I thought they were very enjoyable, and dug out my old compilation CD on reading of her death - and I still find them very enjoyable.

Well, people used to think Abba was corny. I think those people ended up being very much the minority.
My grandparents had an old reel-to-reel tape recorder when I was little and one of their tapes was The Seekers, so I remember them from a very young age. When my grandfather died in 1976, the reels lay untouched for years. When I went through them, I realised two things: the old tape recorders sounded absolutely bloody awful, but The Seekers were amazing!
There is one song that brings back so many memories and emotions that I cannot listen to it.
