Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days (1968, Remaster)
Singer-songwriter.
Born 5 May 1950 in Pontardawe, Glamorgan, in Wales, UK, Mary Hopkin’s career as a singer took off when she appeared on the UK television talent show Opportunity Knocks in 1968.
She signed with the Beatles’ Apple Records shortly afterwards, her most famous recording being Those Were the Days (APPLE 2), a Russian song composed by Boris Fomin with English lyrics written by Gene Raskin, who then claimed the song as his own. In 1970, she came second in the Eurovision Song Contest with Britain’s entry Knock Knock Who’s There. In the early 1970s, she partially withdrew from the pop music world to focus on child-rearing. However, she continued to write songs, record, and contribute vocals to a wide and eclectic range of music acts including Marc Bolan, David Bowie, Osibisa, The Strawbs, Thin Lizzy, and others. She continued to make television appearances (including hosting her own shows) and, since the 1980s, has collaborated with various artists and issued many new recordings through her own music company.
She was married to Tony Visconti from 1971 until they divorced in 1981; they have two children, Jessica Lee Morgan and Morgan Visconti.

Певица-автор песен.
Мэри Хопкин родилась 5 мая 1950 года в Понтардаве, Гламорган, в Уэльсе, Великобритания. Карьера певицы Мэри Хопкин началась, когда она появилась в британском телевизионном шоу талантов Opportunity Knocks в 1968 году.
Вскоре после этого она подписала контракт с Apple Records группы Beatles, ее самой известной записью стала «The Were the Days» (APPLE 2), русская песня, написанная Борисом Фоминым, с английскими текстами, написанными Джином Раскиным, который затем объявил эту песню своей собственной. В 1970 году она заняла второе место на конкурсе песни «Евровидение» с британской песней «Knock Knock Who’s There». В начале 1970-х она частично ушла из мира поп-музыки, чтобы сосредоточиться на воспитании детей. Тем не менее, она продолжала писать песни, записывать и вносить вокал в широкий и эклектичный диапазон музыкальных коллективов, включая Марка Болана, Дэвида Боуи, Osibisa, The Strawbs, Thin Lizzy и других. Она продолжала появляться на телевидении (в том числе вела собственные шоу), а с 1980-х годов сотрудничала с различными артистами и выпустила множество новых записей через свою собственную музыкальную компанию.
Она была замужем за Тони Висконти с 1971 года, пока они не развелись в 1981 году; у них двое детей, Джессика Ли Морган и Морган Висконти.
