Mary Hopkin had a beautiful voice when "Goodbye" was released in 1969. She's a much better artist than the garbage that's being produced today. It's a pity that her CD's are hard to find now.
Mary Hopkin is far and away my favorite singer. I was pleased to see that she is still recording and that new material is coming out of her own studio. The clarity of her voice has always taken my breath away.
Kitten Lyric Britain once was a mighty industrial power , leaders in all fields of human endeavor , and non of it was built by a Socialist but bled to death by them .
I do remember this beautiful song, very popular in 1969 ! I always tried to hear it ever since. Mary Hopkin had a really sweet and clear voice, I guess everyone in his twenties must remember this song of our youth . Many thanks for sharing it !
+illegaldestroyer Those were the days #1 'Goodbye' #2 "Temma Harbour" #6 "Knock Knock, Who's There?" #2 "Think About Your Children" # 19 Other singles reached the top 40 And she also reached the top 10 with her 1st album Postcard "those were the days" did sell over 8 million records”
+illegaldestroyer She was not interested to be a Pop star. She said, "It was a cheesy singalong with an instant hook and no musical merit." about the songs she was offered to sing. Then she, who sold over 8 million copies only for debut single, retired at the age of 21. I was 15 then. I learned "Life is for only what you want to do. Not for money, not for fame." She is my Goddess.
@@Ichbin-ji6bf I’ve noticed that many really talented people aren’t necessarily the best judges of their best work. Sometimes they think a “just OK” song is going to be a big hit and think a really great song is just a cheesy sing a long.
Goodbye. Who's watching this beautiful song in 2021 like me? Memories of those far-off day? Memories tinged with sadness ? Reminiscences and Memories crowded your mind? Long lost friend? or heyday of your life? I want hear your stories. Leave your beautiful stories at my door I'll leave them for the one who waits behind
Rest in Peace Marjorie (Daw) Clare As Marjorie Daw, an elegantly glamorous and popular vocalist with the Oscar Rabin Orchestra in the 1950s and on many BBC Light Programme broadcasts and recordings. She also sang on hit recordings of the 60s, including Helen Shapiro’s Walkin’ Back to Happiness (1961) and Mary Hopkin’s Goodbye, written and produced by Paul McCartney (1969).
hermosa melodia... hace algunos años la llegue a escuchar en radio universal... ahora que la vuelvo a encontrar veo que no solo la cancion es bonita si no que tambien la interprete....

You never know what will prove to be the occasion of an alternative reality breaking through one's conventionally conditioned perspective. This was such an occasion for me . . . 50 years ago, now.
I absolutely adore ‘Goodbye’ it showcases one of the purest voices that ever graced the music scene. I have everything that the very talented Mary Hopkin released, even the Welsh language recordings, and I cannot fault any of it, with the exception of ‘Those Were The Days’ regardless of who is singing it, I find it a dreadful dirge in fact instant depression. The song is loved by many and was, of course, a huge world wide hit, but try as I may, I detest it. There are several other songs by various artists that also fall into the ‘I detest them’ bracket, even when I do not know why.
Leon Erin I loved my life in the sixties, and I love my life now. I do agree that nostalgia plays a huge part in the enjoyment of some music. Another song that I cannot stand is ‘Sunny’ (even by Saint Dusty), and ‘Unchained Melody’ or ‘You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling’,by the awful Righteous Brothers. Music, like drama is, of course, a very personal experience, and my dislikes are loved and revered by many others everywhere. Kind regards.
La escuché una sola vez de pequeño. Nunca olvidé la melodía pero no sabía el título ni la cantante, por lo que pasaron decenas de años hasta que, esta tarde, la encontré por casualidad. Gracias.
OneHitWonderGuy I don't think Mary Hopkin ever became as well known as some other folk rock stars of that era. I'm plenty old enough to know her, but I only recently discovered her on TH-cam -she somehow slipped under my radar but I'm now a fan!
Paul was a lucky guy ; born with ther perfect face to be a star, the perfect vocal cords to be a great singer, a brilliantly musical mind, and the right up-bringing to remain strong enough to weather the terrible adversities of super-stardom and come out of it right as rain, bank account intact,(Heather's chunk of it not-withstanding) !
Mary Hopkin was one of the first musicians to sign to The Beatles Apple label. The model Twiggy saw her winning the British ITV television talent show, Opportunity Knocks and recommended her to Paul McCartney. Who wrote the lyrics, and produced this recording on Apple. Her 1st single “Those Were The Days” replaced "Hey Jude" by the Beatles at #1 on the UK Singles Chart, and reached #2 in the US Billboard Hot 100. Her 2nd single "Goodbye" was held off by the Beatles' next single "Get Back" at #2.
The most haunting song I remember from my early teens was "those were the days:".. I am 68 now was maybe 14? then.. but no song ever effected me more than that one. goodbye was a bit later but I did not know to comprehend it was about two lovers cheating.
Un genio dirigiendo su bellisima canción y compartiéndola a una cantante mediana en ciernes solo por empatía y generosidad. Y un coro de las fans que siempre estaban apostadas de día y noche afuera de Abbey Road o Saville Row. Insólito. Anawin.
+wandering trash He most certainly did write it. His original demo of it is on TH-cam. Not only did he write it, but he produced it. It sounds the way it does because Paul crafted every second of it, including how Mary sang it.
This song has Paul McCartney's signature sound all over it. It gave Mary Hopkin a brief musical career. McCartney wrote for several British movies and was a big help to the band, Bad Finger. Just listen to their song, "Come and Get It", and you can't help but hear the McCartney influence.
It is wonderful that Apple are at last making available footage from the past, But this is not the original Goodye film that was made back in 69, the footage of mary with the dog is from 1970 around the time of the Eurovision song contest.. THe film of Goodbye is quite long and features lots more of Paul working out the guitar parts for the song, and it's amazing, there's also lots more of Mary and the backing singers ..Shame it cannot be released in its full form.
She married Tony Visconti and semi-retired only to pop up in a few interesting places -like back-up vocals in the song "Sounds and Vision" by David Bowie, and the soundtrack for Blade Runner! Tony Visconti was a BIG music producer in the early 70's!
Such a beautiful beautiful voice. Takes you back to when life had meaning
Mary has beautiful eyes, a beautiful voice, and singing a beautiful song (courtesy of Paul Mc Cartney) :-)
I just love Paul’s intro - it sets the tone for a gorgeous song that is sung and arranged perfectly.
I hadn’t heard this since about 1989..until today on the radio. What a great flashback!

@@thomsboys77 loser ,,shut up
if you have nothing intelligent to say
She does a great job
What a wonderful voice. How come no one sings this well anymore?
Sweet-looking girl, lovely voice, a touching and haunting song. Pure pop perfection!?
Beautiful voice , beautiful smile , beautiful woman .
That young lady must have been one of the happiest people on earth, surrounded by a member of the Beatles and those ladys.What a time to be alive...
Actually she couldn’t stand Paul. She saw him as an annoying micromanager.
Lovely song and catchy melody as only Sir Paul can compose.
Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
He couldnt have given that song to anyone better. What a voice!
Mary, sings beautifully, a melodious and beautiful voice
청아한 목소리도 넘 좋고 저 청순하고 귀여운 얼굴은 이 무비를 계속 보게 만드네요~♡무비 속 60~70년대는 넘 분위기있네요~~♡♡

try a listen to *Eva Cassidy*
Marvelous ! she always has a so beautiful voice ! Paul's version is so good too !
This song stirs up so many memories of this time..so much was going on in this era
Fantastic takes me back to before our country was destroyed.
You missed putting " by the Socialist labor party " at the end .
It was a glorious time. When we could still dream of greatness.
Kitten Lyric Britain once was a mighty industrial power , leaders in all fields of human endeavor , and non of it was built by a Socialist but bled to death by them .
@Kitten Lyric Labour is the party of envy, hatred and greed. A refuse for the bitter, lazy and envious. You sound like you'd fit in real well 😆
correct
This is a fantastic video. I've never seen this video in such pristine condition. Thank You for uploading this.

McCartney is simply amazing and her voice is angelic.
DD . . . her voice is angelic - he couldn't even wait to have a smoke? smh Of course, back then they didn't know what they know now.
Marilyn King so your objection is that he’s smoking? C’mon.
@@DJ-bj8ku Hey - It's the only complaint. lol I think he's beautiful. 💖
Marilyn King that’s better;))
@@DJ-bj8ku If he watched it now, he'd probably say the same thing. lol
What a beautiful voice! I'm surprised that she did not have more hit songs.

I have her CD of greatest hits. Not a bum note on anything. She's up there for talent with Polly Brown and Pickety Witch. And they were both hot.

I actually loved this song more than her signature song "Those Were the Days."
Goodbye.

Her eyes are a beautiful shade of gorgeous!
This song was playing on the radio as I was being sent to Viet Nam. I still like it.
How beautiful !!! wow
Beautiful.
This lady's voice got me hooked
WOW! Thank you for posting this. What a magnificent job and kudos to ALL concerned. Roboleyton, you ROCK!
Mary looks a dream
Forgot about this one - 'Those were the days ' was her first hit I think.
Oh yeah! Very nice! How sweet!

A reluctant star. Such a sweetheart.
ذكرتني بقصص الخيال الجميلة بصوتها كأنها ليدي خيالية
are you sure about that? I tend to disagree
The percussion on this track sounds like a man slapping a big ham... and I love it!
Paul McCartney thigh-slapping. He also played acoustic guitar intro and bass guitar on the song. Also wrote the B side song for the single.
Paul always had an eye for talented musicians.
Brilliant song brilliant voice
I love that ending, where she just looks into the camera, then looks away.

Ah yes, music. Now I remember how it sounds.
+Marko Petrov Yeah, I had almost forgotten about it.
indeed, thank paul mccartney for writing it;)
like we didnt know that
Nasty comment. No need. Just grow up.
I was a teenager at the time of this hit. It was heaven on earth, as you say, real music, I too remember!
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THEN AND NOW
Mary Hopkin did this song justice.
Gracias Felipe G por este bonito video!!! Saludos!!!
Beautiful voice and beautiful lady
Pretty Artist, Good Song!
This is such a perfect song in all aspects. I have to listen to it at least a couple of times.
You never know what will prove to be the occasion of an alternative reality breaking through one's conventionally conditioned perspective. This was such an occasion for me . . . 50 years ago, now.
Oh my God..she's so beautiful
Such a wonderful combination of modern pop music and Victorian nostalgia

La escuché una sola vez de pequeño. Nunca olvidé la melodía pero no sabía el título ni la cantante, por lo que pasaron decenas de años hasta que, esta tarde, la encontré por casualidad. Gracias.
A true gem!
Mary was one gorgeous girl ,brill song too
Una maravilla. Hacía casi medio siglo que no la escuchaba y nunca visto.
Wow! How fantastic!! Completely SPLENDID version.
Still one of my favorites...
Is the modern generation even aware of music like this? FIVE STARS
I am and I'm only 12;)
Madison Mills Awesome! Good for you!!!
Madison Mills Just keep at it (!)
I know her and i'm only 15.

Vernon Schaal Paul competing with.. well Paul.
ary home with me! Thank you again. All the best, Regard, Tomoya (continued)
I saw her on Ed Sullivan I believe. I recall the stewardess' upstairs played this song like 5 times a day. Drove my mom nuts.
I had a big crush on Mary at the time; I was about fourteen! I still think she was a great singer and a beautiful lady (and probably still is).
What a team.
Still love Mary's music. I often am more thankful that the beetles gave us Mary more-so than themselves.
The Beatles vibes are felt here. And its good ❤
La contribucion de la mujer a la historia del rock es inmensa y fructifera ❤
bellissima voce
I love her and also her music❤️

What an angel
Que saudades!!!!!Lovely
very nice great song!
The don't make music like this anymore.
Todays music is pure trash in comparison.
a Paul McCartney composition, he wrote it and gave it to Mary, there was a point in the 60s when alot of people in the know thought they were an item!
I agree with you
That's a pure generalisation. Maybe you ought to get out more !
@Kitten Lyric Ok, tell us please of an example of good modern music worth listening to.
She has huge dark blue eyes! Beautiful!
Just saw an angel.
Brilliant voice Welsh lass where did she go
Simply Wonderful. Todays music? What music?
This tune has Paul McCartney all over it.
7beers That's what fucks it..
+7beers That's because he wrote it.
+Jonathan Gomez No, he did not.
+wandering trash He most certainly did write it. His original demo of it is on TH-cam. Not only did he write it, but he produced it. It sounds the way it does because Paul crafted every second of it, including how Mary sang it.

Wow! People who actually look real!! :O And Mary was/is stunning.
I miss this.... Apple Records is still the best!!

Brief career? Marry is still recording and performing music today without Paul haha
Jarrett | The Guy That Plays Games I did not know that. Thanks for the heads up.

Wonderful quality, love this. Mary has just released a new CD on her own label MHM called "You look familiar" available via marhopkinDOTcom

she's only 18 here that's crazy
The fact that Paul can turn one night stand experiences to hit songs is amazing
She married Tony Visconti and semi-retired only to pop up in a few interesting places -like back-up vocals in the song "Sounds and Vision" by David Bowie, and the soundtrack for Blade Runner! Tony Visconti was a BIG music producer in the early 70's!
This is just GREAT....thanks for the vid.
June 23. 2016. Mary Hopkin sings a song for Europe. Yahoooooooooooo!!!
Sound and, vision
