It was 1978, I was 19. I was in my van in Wargrave, near Reading. Who do I spot looking for a parking space? So I smiled at her and moved out so that she could take my space. She gave me a lovely smile.
Haha! I started reading your comment, and in my mind, I thought you must be pretty old by now, before I realized that I was also 19 that year! How cool, though. She does look like a very sweet person.
@@ivonav3751 I'm 65. I guess she must be about 10 years older than me. She did look very pretty that day, that's why she caught my eye. But at that age virtually every female caught my eye! Funny thing, memory. I remember the exact spot - outside (opposite) the Woodclyff Hostel in Church Street. God, I wish I could go back! The things I would change, the life I would have! I would still marry the same woman, though. 43 years together, and there would never have been anyone else. I am not spiritual, but I do think it's odd that we found each other.

I've always been curious what ruined music. I think mostly the corporate buyout of the radio. What's telling I've heard about 19 people one third my age that think the 60s music was better.
Just happened to see this. I’m 70 years old and it still brings tears to my eyes as to what a beautiful song this was. Beautiful girl and angelic voice. Once in a lifetime performance!
Yes some of those Welsh girls were lovely. Talked to one while in lake field Canada at Royal Bank. I asked her were all welsh girls as beautiful as she-she replied “Yes”. Guess I should have asked if they were all as humble as she.
Being in my 70's now, I'm glad I grew up in the 1950's 60's , It was a special time to be alive, was it perfect back then? no, but the music was so good, the music is a reflection of the atmosphere and times back then.
This lady is my crush when i was a boy. Angel voice and the very definition of a beautiful woman. Big Sigh. Still as beatiful as i remenber. Mary Hopkins thank you for those wonderful memories.
My brother remembers this song with such fondness that sometimes I have to bring him back to reality: "That's because you didn't have to pay rent, gas, electricity, insurance, healthcare nor shop for food for 7 persons, that's why those days were the best. Now it's your task and duty to make sure your children will have the same memories when they're 75"
I am in my 70s and I heard Mary in her hey day, but I never appreciated how good she was, a very lovely voice, well she was welsh, that accounts for it, but the good news is I can listen to her now

@Peter Bravestrong Jewel Kilcher was born May 23, 1974, in Payson, Utah, the second child of Attila Kuno "Atz" Kilcher and Lenedra Kilcher (née Carroll).
waaaaay back in the 1990s (96 to be exact) i found this little 45 rpm in my mom's long forgotten record collection. she gave up listening to vinyl long ago and i sorta took over them when i was pretty young. but some how that one escaped my attention, hidden among the more popular albums like Thriller and Cindi Lauper's girls just wanna have fun.. during this phase i was heavily into 60s music anyway, monkees, beatles etc. but my mom didn't have THOSE. So when i saw that little green apple logo i flipped. I didn't recognize the singer but did recognize who wrote it. And i fell in love with it. I used to play it every morning as i got ready for school.....lonely time for me. but also kinda weirdly comforting. my brother was away in basic training and my mom was working early hours to earn extra money and it was my responsibility to put myself on the bus (and i did, most days...) This song and and several others made it less lonely. Keep in mind this was the 90s..... i didn't have any friends. the two i did have moved far away and never wrote and this was before internet found its way into our homes. that walk to the bus stop was torture. standing alone in the dawn by myself, and it was always foggy, was torture. and that bus ride to school, surrounded by noisy kids who had friends was torture. never mind the rest of the day. i spent most of it in my head, watching the clock and drawing in my secret sketchbook, hoping the teachers wouldn't see... or reading. i was a notorious book worm! some time around that period i figured out how to make mixed tapes from the record player and that helped with the loneliness... sorta. i would sneak my walkman onto the bus and try to hide the headphones under my hair so others wouldn't notice. because i absolutely hated being asked what i was listening to....nearly as much as i hated being asked what i was reading. Because as soon as i would tell them they would give me these dumb mooncalf looks or laugh at me saying "that's OLD!!" or they'd call it lame. needless to say, i was not one of the cool kids and didn't want to be. the only thing i had going for me was my art and a lot of daydreaming. So, not long after that the internet eventually DID make its way into the house and I made friends who liked the same music and even introduced me to more. We would talk for hours about these old 60s bands, pretend to be hippies or make up stories of what it would be like if we could go back in time. We even plotted to run away to California... and then i actually made a friend at school who ACTUALLY lived on my street. and she ACTUALLY liked my music! and I actually looked forward to that long walk in the dark mornings because if i hurried she and i could talk and play music before the bus arrived. All the while..... This song has been like an anthem for me. "please don't wake me up too late, tomorrow comes and i will not be late..."
I remember sitting in the back of my dads old Buick Skylark as he was driving in downtown Erie and heard Mary singing Downtown. I was about 6 or 7 years old and still remember it vividly.
@@littlemissblackdress7587 Lol. The joke is on you! I too am an old man, and your generation isn't much to brag about. You all gave up being what God created you to be.
The first thing I noticed about Mary Hopkin, is that I never saw her take a breath while she sang a song. She reminds me of Judith Durham from the Seekers. Both give us effortless singing, and wonderful songs.
Comparing Mary Hopkins' skills to Judith Durham sells Ms. Durham's skills short. Judith Durham is one of those gifted signers who always seemed to be pitch perfect (similar to, for example) Karen Carpenter. There aren't many. And Durham had much greater range than Mary Hopkins.
What a contrast with the drivel we have today. This is wonderful, a beautiful and very talented woman singing an amazing song about her love. Thank you for this posting.
There are still wonderful artists around today just as there were back then , also there was some pretty awful music back in the 60s too so dont be so blinkered and blind and as someone else mentioned explore and broaden your narrow mind . Im 58 by the way so i remember this song when it was out .
@@jackradicelli6243 Probably that the previous commenter was giving her credit for no voiceover-- when actually she's multi-tracked. (But at least she had a good voice to start with, unlike some singers who have nothing EXCEPT studio magic.)
She's SO PRETTY! I was SO smitten by Mary Hopkins back in those days. The 45 RPM record of this song had her face on it and I kissed her pretty face. And her voice is so sweet.
How incredibly beautiful she is!!! Bob Dylan recently said Paul McCartney is the best musician of the 20th century and even this song most people don't realize he wrote. I do believe Mary Hopkin has the voice of an angel!!!!
I was ten living in Akrotiri in Cyprus, someone would have recorded that Sunday’s TopTwenty to be played on the bus as we made our way to Episkopi comp School, those really were the day’s my friend when we thought they’d never end up! Now I am 64 , shortly to end my life at DIgnitas ,hearing her voice brings back many happy memories ,to hear her voice takes me back in an instant, so thank you Mary
Fantastic song, fantastic performance by a extremely talented and gorgeous, classy lady. Compare that with the tattoo-ed barbarians of today... This is why the '60's and '70's were the best. Simply spectacular.
@@Americathebeautiful49 My parents were quite liberal in that respect, the neighbors less so. So to some extent that's true, it's a generational thing. But I do think the way she looks and sings has little or no equivalency with what's being produced today.

Thank you Mary Hopkins and Thank you my love Mary we had 20 years together so you just rest for now and ill be there before you know it!!! She (MY MARY) left this life after 63 years on august 21st. 2023 and damn it has life become so much more difficult and so much darker without het by my side.... I guess I still have things to do so I'm going to get back at it. Peace,love and light to anyone reading this. Hope is ultimately all we have in difficult times and bad situations... Be kind, stay humble and heal dont harm! Cya around.
John you are right that all we have is hope in difficult times. Might I be so bold to suggest that that hope is spelled Jesus. He cares for the downtrodden and brokenhearted b/c He experienced these things himself. We can start by reading the 2nd book of the New Testament--Mark--where Jesus gives hope to person after person through healing and deliverance. He will do the same for us. He really is only a prayer away. God bless you John! Seek and you will find. Knock and the door shall be opened. Ask and it shall be given.
Melodic voice, highly appealing visage, and in this case, at least, simple yet elegant dresser. Many female vocalists of that era took care to present themselves in that manner.
What a cutie pie. Classy, modest, poised & professional! Musically our generation that grew up with these amazing singers and musicians are of the highest standard that no one before or after have been able to equal, alone rival. It was all down hill musically after that. Some of the trash I have heard coming from the radio these days is fit for only one thing--a dumpster fire! To think that the talent mocking buffoons have taken over the air waves that were once occupied by the legends and artistic composers is horrifying. The music industry has been turned on it's head with people that have no business being there , nor have the talent required for a recording contract!
i am 40 and hated the music from my own generation and utterly loathe this crap they have today.... funnily enough so do my kids who are still in their teens. it's rare if they play anything newer than the 80's (unless it's a remix of the jazz/swing/big band era.) my youngest son has always had a penchant for Louie Armstrong and Fred Astaire. He recently discovered Tom Waits,.... that's probably the newest material in his playlist. i don't begrudge anyone for liking what they like. but i wish they wouldn't assault my ears with it. i haven't played the fm radio in years. couldn't tell ya the first pop song of today.
Memories...driving in my MGB, top down, 8 track playing....people had no air conditioning in cars then...stopping at a red light, people would chat with the people In the car next to you....we are insulated from each other now, in boxes, all the same.
Yes, you’re so right. I recently saw a TH-cam video (Reflections on Life channel) in which the lady being interviewed said that the problem today is that we, as a members of today’s society, are DISmembered-meaning we’re no longer connected to one another. We tend to view one another with distrust, and we’ve developed a tendency to lash out with impatience and hostility toward one another. Instead of viewing one another as friends, neighbors, and fellow travelers, we respond to strangers as ‘alien others’. How did we arrive here at this point? More importantly, how can we return to civility and come back together?
Yeah, I remember being stopped at a red light, going north at an intersection, blocked by police letting traffic through, east to west. I asked the people in the car next to me what was happening. "The dam is breaking," they said. I was in an MGA. Fortunately, the police finally let us proceed north after two more minutes. By the time I reached Adams Blvd,, the cars in the Fedco lot were floating.
This music video tales me back to the Highschool Days when I lived in a Normal county ♥️🇺🇸 Mary was a great Gal who put ❤️ heart into her work on Stage ‼️
From a time when people were satisfied with simple things, and we got joy from listening to lovely music like this, how I miss those times.

The first thing I noticed about Mary Hopkin, is that I never saw her take a breath while she sang a song. She reminds me of Judith Durham from the Seekers. Both give us effortless singing, and wonderful songs.
Considerately different voices and styling, but yes, you are right. Both are among the best female singers, ever. Not bad to look at, either.
aye...n hit their notes dead on..no awful shreiking caterwauling n bending of notes like todays warblers'
You don’t need to take a big breath when you are just lip syncing to your record.
If you listen to her early recordings (eg Honeymoon Song, Puppy Song) her breathing is quite prominent
Comparing Mary Hopkins' skills to Judith Durham sells Ms. Durham's skills short. Judith Durham is one of those gifted signers who always seemed to be pitch perfect (similar to, for example) Karen Carpenter. There aren't many. And Durham had much greater range than Mary Hopkins.

Beautiful song. Beautiful voice. One of the many Paul's classics.....
Melodic voice, highly appealing visage, and in this case, at least, simple yet elegant dresser. Many female vocalists of that era took care to present themselves in that manner.
written by Paul McCartney.....no wonder its so catchy,,,,,very nice
great voice...sang the high notes with ease....
Phenomenal voice; lovely, charming simplicity and grace.
She was so beautiful and this song fit her perfectly.
What a cutie pie. Classy, modest, poised & professional! Musically our generation that grew up with these amazing singers and musicians are of the highest standard that no one before or after have been able to equal, alone rival. It was all down hill musically after that. Some of the trash I have heard coming from the radio these days is fit for only one thing--a dumpster fire! To think that the talent mocking buffoons have taken over the air waves that were once occupied by the
legends and artistic composers is horrifying. The music industry has been turned on it's head
with people that have no business being there , nor have the talent required for a recording contract!
I am 75 and agree with you 100%. I will buy a gallon of gas to start the dumpster fire.
Agreed...piles of pure shiiite and slop which many piggies with no taste or culture eat up!
i am 40 and hated the music from my own generation and utterly loathe this crap they have today.... funnily enough so do my kids who are still in their teens. it's rare if they play anything newer than the 80's (unless it's a remix of the jazz/swing/big band era.) my youngest son has always had a penchant for Louie Armstrong and Fred Astaire. He recently discovered Tom Waits,.... that's probably the newest material in his playlist.
i don't begrudge anyone for liking what they like. but i wish they wouldn't assault my ears with it. i haven't played the fm radio in years. couldn't tell ya the first pop song of today.
@@Hy-Brasil Same...I haven't played the fn radio in year! LOL
Loved her voice.
Great Macca tune. And such a sweet voice. Great post!
Great voice and she's adorable. Those were the Days is probably my favorite.
Paul McCartney wrote this for her.What an amazing voice she had and such a beauty.
Writing songs for women. Good way to meet girls.
@robrussell5329 Paul needed NO help to meet girls. He literally had full time staff fighting them off
her hair, her eyes, everything about mary just astonishes me. i love her!
I had the 45 single on Apple records. Remember buying it at the only KMART store in Fresno California. Played a lot on Boss Radio KYNO-Fresno.
Eu tinha apenas 8 anos e já era apaixonado por essa lindíssima cantora .O jeitinho dela era meigo e a voz encantadora . Que saudade dessa época !
What a beautiful lady. And getting applause when she barely started made me feel good.
Memories...driving in my MGB, top down, 8 track playing....people had no air conditioning in cars then...stopping at a red light, people would chat with the people In the car next to you....we are insulated from each other now, in boxes, all the same.
Yes, you’re so right. I recently saw a TH-cam video (Reflections on Life channel) in which the lady being interviewed said that the problem today is that we, as a members of today’s society, are DISmembered-meaning we’re no longer connected to one another. We tend to view one another with distrust, and we’ve developed a tendency to lash out with impatience and hostility toward one another. Instead of viewing one another as friends, neighbors, and fellow travelers, we respond to strangers as ‘alien others’. How did we arrive here at this point? More importantly, how can we return to civility and come back together?
Yeah, I remember being stopped at a red light, going north at an intersection, blocked by police letting traffic through, east to west. I asked the people in the car next to me what was happening. "The dam is breaking," they said. I was in an MGA. Fortunately, the police finally let us proceed north after two more minutes. By the time I reached Adams Blvd,, the cars in the Fedco lot were floating.
Super cute voice.
She has a perfect voice 💕
Always love this song
A beautiful singing voice saves my heart.
