Australia lost two of it's best known singers this week. I thought she had a better voice than Olivia Newton John.

This certainly was a radio hit way back in the day.

Damn. I loved her. I have been watching this video on youtube for ten years.

Rest in Peace, Judith.

What a voice, and what a rack.
She had a stroke some years ago.
Remarkable voice and talent. Fare thee well!
Another loss of great talent.

RIP Lady

Had that girl next door look to her.
She had great voice.

Luckily we have the audio recordings.

Thanks Richard, I didn't know they sang that. Beautiful song

Beautiful clear and strong sound, wonderful range and consistent throughout, very accurate pitch - just right for a fine folk/pop/gospel singer. Soft/gentle when need be, but a truly bold voice. RP dear lady.

Thanks for this post and the songs. Amazing Grace indeed. Amazing that it would extend to me, a scum sucking pig.

From a time when not every performing artist had to be either claim victimhood, or aim to tell the world how to live.

Their music was their message
She had a great voice. She is what I think of when I remember the cool 60s chicks I had crushes on when I was a kid. My sister had a few friends that looked similar to her, in her early videos.

Losing so many talented actors/actresses, singers, and other entertainers the last few years really underscores the general mediocrity of most of today's entertainment industry.

This is a very true statement.

Amazing voice and songs that stand the test of time --- keep in mind their recordings were without todays mixing / adjusting technology. Still had the voice as she aged

Nobody had more beautiful eyes.

I almost posted that one...It is a shame how fast her health waned.

I remember distinctly riding with my mom in her 64 (?) Nova listening to that come over the radio. I would have been 6 or 7 years old. She passed a few months ago.

Told people at the time that her death would hit me out of the blue, like in the pickle isle in the grocery store.

This is my pickle isle. Glad only the dog is here to see this.
