Great voice, great songs.Australian musician Judith Durham, best known as the lead singer of folk music group The Seekers, has died aged 79.
Her band sold more than 50 million records and had hits including I'll Never Find Another You, I Am Australian and Georgy Girl.
She left the group to go solo in 1968 and went on to release a number of studio albums.
Anthony Albanese, Australia's prime minister, paid tribute to Durham, calling her "a national treasure".
"Judith Durham gave voice to a new strand of our identity and helped blaze a trail for a new generation of Aussie artists," he wrote on social media. "Her kindness will be missed by many, the anthems she gave to our nation will never be forgotten."
