An unusual item - spot the deliberate mistake...

She fared better than Jethro Tull, they were listed as Jethro Toe on their first single!

Re: Mary Hopkin

Sir Paul wrote Goodbye for her, and I think she was runner-up in Eurovision with Knock Knock (Who's There). The overlooked gem though is her Earth Song/Ocean Song album.

Re: Mary Hopkin

Very talented and attractive singer. I can remember "Those were the Days" being played so often when it was released and she seemed to be everywhere making guest appearances on various shows.

It is a cover of an old folk song, IIRC...

Re: Mary Hopkin

Those were the days often goes through my mind. It seemed to get played on the radio every second record when I was a wee nipper. Good record.

Re: Mary Hopkin

Mary sang Those Were The Days in many different languages, which mush have helped the Apple launch around the world.

"a lot of artists from the 70's are still around today if you dig deep enough !"

Or indeed the 60s - I'm amazed that Iggy Pop is still with us though, as I doubt he was as clean-living as Mary Hopkin!

Re: Mary Hopkin

Yeah, I liked Mary Hopkins too.

You'll find a lot of artists from the 70's are still around today if you dig deep enough !

Re: Mary Hopkin

Those Were The Days was her breakthrough hit but her Eurovision entry was Knock Knock Who's There

Oops I put the wrong song in
