The New Seekers, renowned for their iconic hit "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)," experienced far from perfect harmony within their group. In this groundbreaking first-ever book, key members share their captivating stories, shedding light on the legendary band's journey. Drawing inspiration from a female/male vocal template reminiscent of Abba, The New Seekers achieved Eurovision success in the 1970s and rivaled T Rex at the top of the UK charts during the era of New Seeker mania. While the book primarily focuses on their golden era from 1970 to 1973 and the enchanting harmonizing magic of their second line-up, it encompasses the entire history of the group, including the painful departures of key personnel and the band's reformation in the new millennium.

Who managed The New Seekers? What was the original idea behind the project? With numerous BBC appearances, how much were they a product of the new color TV era of that time? Which person outside the group earned the right to be called the sixth New Seeker? How popular was the group outside the UK? And what exactly happened to The New Seekers after their success in the 70s? These questions are thoroughly answered through extensive research and candid interviews with band members. This book is a must-read for both New Seekers fans and enthusiasts of great 70s pop.

Featuring a foreword by Paul Layton, the longest-serving member of The New Seekers, the book provides a close insight into the band and their dynamics at the height of their fame.
