Lanterne Rouge Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 As others have said, another piece of a lot of our formative years slips quietly away. He and Charlie can have another cup of tea and then go home finally now. RIP Mr Cribbins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seekers were one of Australias first successful musical exports. Judith was born in Essendon which is very close to Melbourne. Judith was a great singer and complimented by Athol Guy, Bruce and Keith Potger.

By the way, I assume either your spellcheck is playing up or you are confusing one of The Seekers' hits with a great film - it was Georgy Girl.

slartibartfast Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 That's very sad, one of my first crushes was Judith. The majority of female pop stars were like "stick insects" ,but she was all young woman, if you get my drift ! To be truthful, in the mid sixties it wasn't too cool to like this type of music, but later on I appreciated more. My favourit was the Paul Simon, Bruce Woodley penned song "someday ,one day". RIP Judith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
