Long before the world went totally mad. Absolutely delightful and what a voice ❤
Everything about Mary is perfection.
Oh my goodness, thank you a million times for posting this! I have wanted to see Mary Hopkin sing this song on the Sullivan show for decades. This is absolutely beautiful! What incredible footage! Mary has always been one of my favorite singers. This song was written by and a big hit for the Ray Noble Orchestra with Al Bowlly on vocals back in the early '30's. It was included on Mary's "Postcard" album, and I played it so many times. Now all the Mary Hopkin performances from Sullivan have been posted! Thanks again for this wonderful video!
Isn't it special to have our video dreams come true after all of these years? This sure is a great channel!
@@shyman99 Yes, seeing their posts is something I look forward to avidly each day. I've always wanted to see so many performances on the Sullivan show so, as you say, when they post something I've wanted to see for so long, it's an incredible feeling!
A dream come true Tom
@@patrichmond7533 Absolutely, Pat!
She has a beautiful voice.
Thank you Paul McCartney for discovering this beauty & producing her most famous record!
It was Twiggy who saw her on Opportunity Knocks and recommended her to Paul so the story goes .
@@mjones4083 Thanks for the info!
I have listened to this song for for going on 43 years now.
Back when the world was sane
Jaw dropping gorgeous. A total knockout.
Never knew this existed. What a stunning voice and lovely lady! Still love her Postcard album, from which this is taken..
The voice of a Nightingale!
Thank you for sharing! 💖
Perfect choice of song and a perfect rendition also! The unbelievable voice of Mary Hopkins! What else can possibly be said.
Angel's voice
Hermosa me enamore 😍
I love her singing Those Were The Days is the first song I heard her sing ! Loved it then loved it now and really love this song too !
Happy story. Lovely, distinctive voice.
Fantastic, just fantastic - thank you so much
Absolutely classic! Awesome. Cheers!
Mary's remake of the Doris Day song "Que Sera Sera" (from 1970) is a great remake!!
She is great
EFFORTLESS----BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
What a beautiful girl
How cute. ❤😊
New to me! Brilliant. Thank you so much. Voice of an Angel. From her album Postcard (produced by Paul McCartney)
That was to the perfection level.!!
Beautiful, beautiful lady!!
Beautiful song
Classy video from a classy lady. Well done!
Mary was in the trio Hobby Horse who did the remake of The Jamies 1958 song "Summertime, Summertime" on Bell Records in 1973 but did not charted in U.S..
Hobby Horse’s “Summertime, Summertime” received a lot of air play in the NYC area and I believe Boston. In fact as a H. S. Teen, I thought it was the original version at that time and did not know about the Jamies somewhat less energetic version.
Wow. Shes a diamond
Wow the voice
Thank you, just love this TH-cam video showing Mary Hopkin and friends on this show😊
Superb 🎉❤😊 utube Ενα χρυσόψαρο μέσα στη γυάλα john bavas
Also love the wonderful Peter Skellern version.
The emcee is Louis Nye, comedian/actor.
Ed Sullivan was tops back then. Today, a presentation like this would never even get to the broadcast or cable television stage, and if somehow it did, it would unfortunately likely be laughed off the air with total contempt, primarily by Gens Y and Z.
Excellent, I have obviously missed this somewhere along the line!
There wer thre day is for any time it make think about me growing up
Mary almost sounds like Australian singer Merill Bainbridge (who did the song "Mouth" in late 1996)!!
She had only just turned 19 when she did this.
Interesting that they did this inside a radio broadcast skit. Can't ever recall them doing that with any other singer.
Top woman
don't forget the funny man in the beginning
Louie Nye
Did Mary perform "Temma Harbour" on the show?
thank you.
No, all the Mary Hopkin videos have now been posted. "Morning of My Life", "Those Were the Days", "Goodbye" and "Love is the Sweetest Thing".
What a beauty! The quintessential English Rose and that voice! Does a fan know what she does these days- as opposed to "those days"- I was, and AM, a Marianne Faithfull fan, and of course, of Dusty, Cilla and Julie Driscoll and Francoise Hardy- plus the folk singers, especially the ladies of folk, on both sides of the Atlantic, but Mary seemed to capture a moment- maybe it was Paul McCartney's song and marketing- I bought her 1st album, used, bit scratched but very, very, enjoyable- if I had a nursery school I'd be teaching the kids- "Inchworm". She was decidedly "well scrubbed" in a decade which frowned on that vibe, but looks and talent and charm are never out of fashion! Let me know somebody- I hope she is alive- I should look- too many of those incredible women standing up in their own way for a woman's right to be in a band! We take all that for granted- my late gran, never stopped complaining of long, "ironed" hair, racoon ringed-eyes, white lips, Julie and Dusty! And the most outrageous thing of all- a girl, a female drummer! The Honeybees? Loved it! Namaste ( with Putin behaving like the nefarious thug he is in The Ukraine, we need "gentle and hopeful". So I send sweet Mary Hopkin in "spirit" to those poor souls- the prayers of Canadians go to you and if you can, come live here, we aren't perfect but we have more freedom, accommodations, food, and jobs! )
Quintessential English Rose??? She's not even English, she's Welsh
A common misconception my friend, we are the United Kingdom a country built of four nations
The Honeycombes had the female drummer . (Honey Lantrey) .
Muinoisia aikoina tytöt oli herttaisia ja ne tykkäs pojista.
can someone give me any form of clarification on why the hell the beginning was so awkward?! i’m such a poser 😭😭😭
It was a 'story' piece within the Ed Sullivan show. Mary was playing an ingenue on a mythical 30s (to match the song) talent show. The proverbial rags to riches success! This was apt as Mary was also 'discovered' on a TV talent show.
Ангел!!!
She was uncomfortable with this sort of repertoire ...her heart was in folk and Welsh Celtic music
.
She looks so nervous:(
I was thinking considering her age and how new she was to the business just how confident she was... Amazing performance IMO
@@patrichmond7533 Yes, that is definitely in play here. It’s so very natural to be anxious/nervous about something that you’re still getting used to.
@@mbofficial8577 You do know she is playacting in this video?
@@patrichmond7533 what does that mean?
@@mbofficial8577 The whole performance from start to finish is based on the Hollywood movie storyline of rags to riches - 'Unknown singer finds fame'.
wonderful voice but she obviously feels very nervous and out of place. i also like the postcard album but as we learned later she was not entirely happy with that framing...the donovan songs are her favourites and voyage of the moon is exquisite
How did songs evolve from this to the noise we hear today, and we dare call music?????????????
Someone fill me in... are they evoking/parodying a certain movie in this sequence, or maybe a type of movie?
it's the age old tale of unknown makes good.
Thumbs up for McCartney following through on Twiggy’s discovery and signing Mary as one of the first artists for Apple records. However his idea for Mary‘s first album, “Postcards“ was as a nostalgic look back at simpler times, which was popular in pop music then, but not entirely right for Mary, who preferred more of a folk music sound. McCartney produced a song or two on Postcards and then turned the project over to Mickey Most. Mary got her wish performing music more to her liking on her second album, with producer and future husband Tony Visconti.
FAKE LOL
How old is she now? She has a really strange voice.
Definitely not a strange voice but a unique instantly recognisable voice
