Great bands/singers that never caught on

The seekers just didn't find a good niche, folk music was short lived for he most part.

I loved Judith Durhams voice

I'm with you, the Seekers had a unique magical quality to their sound, as opposed to the Mama's and Papa's. I didn't care for the big booming voice of Mama Cass. Boy, I AM opinionated aren't I?

It's good to be opinionated in my book. There was a post on here early, now removed ( ) to my opinion

Beat that as far as opinions

Then again, ask for an opinion, I'm sure someone will offer a view different than yours in no time. I've always said that music is a personal like, or dislike, no big deal one way, or the other.

I won't take anything away from Mama Cass either, she did have a great set of pipes too

I imagine they didn't catch on. If KOMA played that, we'd punch that button on the radio and switch over to WKY, to see if Danny Williams had somethin better on than Ronnie Kaye. (Obscure Oklahoma radio references; I won't even get into WOKJ or the X)

RGINN, you have to remember this was the music of the time. There were so many new groups popping up every other week and folk music really had a short window to work from. The music and sound was evolving at a rapid pace from doo-wop to folk, folk/pop, pop, rock, blues, R&B, Latin and everything in between. A magical time to grow up. Bands changed members as often as we changed our clothes and music constantly changed for the next 12-13 years.
