Judith Durham recently passed. At one point, the Seekers shared bills with the Beatles and the Stones.
The Best of The Seekers was released in the UK and spent 6 weeks at No. 1 in 1969, managing to knock The Beatles (White Album off the top of the charts and preventing The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet from reaching the top spot. The album spent 125 weeks in the charts in the UK.

Yes, they sold over 50 million records over their career and did a huge televised concert way back when that drew 200-250,000. I think it was the same concert that drew ratings of 67! I know my parents watched it (and made us kids watch as well) - I think it was their farewell concert in 67.
Her passing has been big news here in Australia.
Today, in 8/9/69, is the anniversary of the photo taken fir Abby Road.

I believe that they were the first group from Australia do well in the UK and North America. They opened the door for others to follow. The Easybeats and others might not have made it worldwide without them.
Keiths remake is now a fitting tribute to Judith.

A fascinating legalistic view of this (in)famous personnel change. I can accept that Pete wasn't technically "fired", but actually "played" (on legal advice) to quit. Maybe that’s why J, P & G didn't face Pete themselves, they were probably advised not to say anything to him that could spoil the "play".
Ironically, it looks like an early cautionary tale that, of course, just went over J, P, G & R's collective heads of how the deceptive aspects of legalistics can really tear people, and bands, apart. But, they were still poor Liverpudlians willing to do whatever it took to get the big bucks. Later, with all their collective mega-wealth on the line, the legalities became a "can of worms" that still has a wriggle or two these days!
[Better Late Than Never Department:] I believe I read that Pete was very handsomely compensated (£millions?, anyone know?) for his appearances in The Beatles Anthology project and publications. Of course, that's still very poor recompense for the decades of ignominy he had suffered. But, it certainly makes for a much more comfortable retirement than he would have had otherwise.

Yes, Pete said in an interview at the time that he hoped that it could amount to millions. His cut was based on sales.
What I wasn’t clear on in the video is that after the Beatles signed the legal partnership, it would have had to be dissolved legally. Not just by Peter leaving to be in another band. It did explain why Brian helped him with other gigs after Ringo replaced him.
There’s more to this story. Unfortunately Pete is not forthcoming, maybe for legal reasons even to this day.
Well, legalistically thinking, perhaps there was an exclusivity clause in the partnership? Surely that partnership was dissolved properly, perhaps on that basis, somewhere amongst (or before) the new agreement(s) including Ringo?
If so, possibly The Beatles agreement(s) might have also had that clause when John started his Plastic Ono Band in 1969! Then that, perhaps, would have paved the legal way for release of Paul's solo album. [Sorry, just extrapolating legalistically into The Beatles breakup, again.]
Maybe? ... ... Who knows ...

Yeah, I would think Paul probably felt substantially the same as George stated (as he prays while signing)! Although, presumably by 1974 Paul would have had his in-law's law firm review and approve these documents in his interest. Hopefully, poor George had legal representation that he trusted, appropriately or not, since the Beatles vs. Klein suits and counter suits were filed the previous year.

"John Lennon was definitely my favorite Beatle, hands down," Cobain revealed. "I don't know who wrote what parts of what Beatles songs, but Paul McCartney embarasses me. Lennon was obviously disturbed [laughs]. So I could relate to that."
