The Seekers: Georgy Girl

Writing about The Windmills of Your Mind last week, I mentioned the 1967 and 1968 Oscars for the Best Original Song.

In 1966 this song was nominated, but lost to Matt Monro and Born Free. Still, it's a reminder of how popular the Seekers were in Britain in those days.

The music for Georgy Girl was written by Tom Springfield (Dusty's brother) and the words by Jim Dale. This makes him the only Carry On regular with an Oscar nomination.

  1. Lovely to re-listen to a group/song I enjoyed in the 60's
