Mary Hopkin Goodbye

[@prabhakarrao4922]

Such a beautiful beautiful voice. Takes you back to when life had meaning

[@ITILII]

Mary has beautiful eyes, a beautiful voice, and singing a beautiful song (courtesy of Paul Mc Cartney) :-)

[@deanmorrow4083]

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.

[@mikeyaureliush9017]

@Kitten Lyric Ok, tell us please of an example of good modern music worth listening to.

[@kennethkdj]

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.

[@kennethkdj]

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.

[@Ichbin-ji6bf]

+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.

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.

[@coalcreeker583]

@@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.

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.

[@betulceyhan8519]

Vernon Schaal Paul competing with.. well Paul.

[@richpat]

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.

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.
