THE SEEKERS - Blowin' in the Wind
I liked the Seekers they knocked out quite a few good tracks in the sixties, Il Never Find Another You, Morningtown Ride and Georgy's Girl. They have a couple of versions of 'Blowin in the Wind', this one and a live version. This one is quite acceptable in a Peter, Paul and Mary sort of way. Put it this way, it is a whole lot better than the following hideous version by the New Seekers. They were formed by one member of the original group and morphed into a poppy outfit I would like to teach the world to sing. Remember that Coke advert?

Tulis commentsJudith Durham had a great voice. I have a soft spot of The Seekers - all good clean fun and 'Georgy Girl' is simply wonderful. As for the New Seekers - that version is truly an abomination. Keep them coming, sir.
ReplyI honestly thought it couldn't get any worse than Telly Savalas...but I was wrong! Who on earth thought the New Seekers version was a good idea?
