Page "The New Seekers" Paragraph 5

Up to now, the group's biggest success had been as a five-piece harmony, but it was around this time that they began to favour lead singers for their songs with title credits given to Marty Kristian for " Come Softly to Me " and Eve Graham for " Nevertheless ", but it was in late 1973 that this formula found its biggest success when Lyn Paul took the lead on the new single, " You Won't Find Another Fool Like Me ".

The song became a big hit over Christmas and eventually peaked at No. 1 in January 1974, becoming their second biggest hit.

This formula continued with the next single, " I Get a Little Sentimental Over You ", which also became a big hit, peaking at No. 5.

However, despite this revival, the group announced their split amid much publicity.

With allegations that the members were receiving little financial reward for their success, The New Seekers officially disbanded in May 1974.
