Eve Graham was a member of the enormously successful pop group The New Seekers from 1969 to 1978. The individually talented mixed vocal harmony group first hit the UK charts with their cover version of the Melanie Safka song "What Have They Done to My Song, Ma" (a US Top 20 in its cover version) early in 1970, and enjoyed a successful chart career ending with "Anthem (One Day In Every Week)" in 1978. The group never had a hit without Eve Graham despite the fact that it continued recording with replacement members after her departure, and as late as 2004 still exists with only one original member in the line up. The group's most famous international hit, "I'd Like To Teach The World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)", adapted from a certain cola jingle, will remind people of the voice of Eve Graham. Show less «

[on the media hoopla over her working two years at Debenham'] "It was quite upsetting. The coverage implied I had to go to work because we were starving, but Kevin [husband Danny Finn] has always kept me in the manner to which I want to be accustomed.People believe if you've been a pop star you can't do anything else. You're not allowed to show your face unless it's that show-business face-lest it destroy their illusion of you. Show less «
