The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I'm at that age (65) where I truly understand the meaning behind this song and want to weep.
Thankfully, I've managed to achieve some of my wildest dreams, a writer and journalist...
Still...this song and the people who have left us...this song..
Things are never that bad, friend. I heard this when I was 5. I'm 61. I believe it was an old Polish folk song. Cheers.
I am an old person too, 64, this song makes me feel happy. She is such a pretty woman, she has a beautiful voice, I can't believe I was only 9 years old when she sang it. Good memories.
I'm a young person but I want you to know you're never too old to achieve whatever you want ❤
Every time I hear this i cry- with ot without tears... I LOVE THIS SENTIMENTAL SONG MY DAD LOVED! 😂
@@user-hp8my2hp1y
What a sweet and encouraging comment. 😇
Shout out to anyone enjoying this beautiful music of yesterdays.
This song was broadcasted so much on the radio. A song that wouldn't leave my head. The music and Mary Hopkin singing over and over that I would begin to sing it. Believe it or not I can still sing the song correctly! Amazing!
You don't forget this kind of music! At the age of 66 it brings back happier days that were carefree and worry free.
Автор музыки русский композитор Борис Фомин, 1924 год.
You're SO RIGHT!!! IT NEVER LEAVES YOUR HEAD after you hear it!!!
Same here in Cph
I to remember and love this song. Can remember singing along to it on my little red transistor radio, under the covers, when I should have been sleeping not listening to radio Caroline. 😊
@@Sofasurfa
The song is unforgettable and infectious (in a good sense).
I think what you did many did, including me.
Enjoy your summer.
😊👍❤
All we can do is listen to your talent, from a time that never comes back!
No pretence - natural and with such an angelic voice. I still love it after all these years.
Эту песню написал советский композитор Борис Иванович Фомин в 1924 г., и в СССР и России она известна, как "Ехали на тройке с бубенцами" или "Дорогой длинною" А Джин Раскин в 1962 г. ее совсем немного изменил, и зарегистрировал на себя.
Композитора посадили, автора текста загнобили до смерти за невовремя поданную декларацию. Режим "отблагодарил" авторов!
Раскин как положено добавил в нее еврейских нот 😂

I am 85 yrs. Old. Memories of me and my army buddies hanging out at Georges in Erlangen germany with our german girl friends. Those were the days.
I'm 85, memories too many but great

i truly belive those were the days..
Thank you for your service sir. You are loved more than you know. God bless!
확실히 목소리는 옛날 가수들이 요즘 가수들보다 훨씬 낫다! 더하여 요즘 가수들의 노래는 목소리에 감정이 없는데 반해 옛날 가수들의 노래는 듣다보면 내 가슴이 울고 영혼이 떨고 있음을 느낀다!
My Mother ( God rest her Russian soul ) loved Mary Hopkins - Not everyone knows that the melody is a Russian folk song ( the road is long )
I sounds Russian, and it certainly is a very beautiful song. I hear Paul McCartney wrote the lyrics to it.
У этой песни есть автор Борис Фомин 1924 год . По удивительном совпадению песня посвящена певице по имени Мария.
Позже появилась версия Вертинского и лишь потом слова на английском Раскина.
You are totally right!!! I just listened to the russian one. Thanks
@@JSB103 No, Gene Raskin, a folksinger with Russian roots, wrote the lyrics. Paul McCartney was responsible for seeing the potential, getting it, Mary Hopkin, and Apple Music together, and marketing it.
@@user-ct3en7kv6e Translation of this comment: This song has an author Boris Fomin 1924. By an amazing coincidence, the song is dedicated to a singer named Maria.
Later, Vertinsky’s version appeared, and only then Raskin’s words in English.
No question about it, no gimmicks, just pure raw talent.
This is the
" it sucks getting old " anthem.
I was sitting in a honkey in Chicago in 1969 having some beers, I was 20 with phony ID's. Old guy sitting next to me asked me how old I was, I lied and said 22, he then said to me " gona tell you one thing and remember it forever, getting old is not for SISSIS", I am now 75 and remember that day like it was yesterday!
@@dc10fomin65wow, amazing story! What's 'SISSIS', if I may ask?
kind of like the much later Bowling for soup ,, getting old sucks song
In the old days that meant " a gay guy", in today's crazy politically correct world who knows?
@@frankwalker5921A sissy is a wimp, so it's like saying "Getting old is not for the faint hearted"
I am 79 and have just listened to this song again having been around when it was originally released in the 60s.. It still sends tingles down my spine! A great song well executed by a wonderful and beautiful singer.
That's amazing. I am 39 and just found this song yesterday. Go figure lol. Have a good day man.
The original from Russia is still good!
Hey Mr Peter Lewis. Greetings from South Africa. I'm 64 and loving this music. Hell yes. I'll live my life to the fullest. When I die ill be in awe of the future. I lived my entire life without thinking about death,until now😮
@@ivayloivanov7231Sure, but English text and perfomance is the best one among all versions of this song😊
@@dmitriysmirnov9084 Yep. Its very very rare a cover of a song to be better than original!
懐かしい、当時は日本中に流れていましたね。私の青春時代の思い出の曲です。
I'm 71 and still listen to this song on SA Texas radio station "KONO 86.1AM...".🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶💯💛💛
Numerically, 86.1 indicates an FM channel.
Those were good days. Why cann't we make beautiful songs like this today?
Politics
That's probably right. Tge campaign finance bribery system allowed the large corpirate buyout of the radio stations where unknown talented songs like this are not heard. Oliver Anthony's song has been boycotted by the radio and there's a strong alliance between the corporate radio and the record companies. Where one won't stand up to the other. Like you tube and the universal corporation.
Do your best to make better memories as you go.
Artists of today want instant gratification and notice. Every young black man ( it seems) considers hi.self gifted to be the next big rap star. I listen objectively but no. They almost always have zero talent and yet they think the are the goods!
Those were the days was a cover of a very old Russian song...
No vulgar dress or language just pure beautiful talent.Those were the days no doubt.
Are mini-skirts really any shorter now than in the 1960s?
Clean.
Look at old videos of female singers, compare the way they dressed them and now.
OK... in the 1960s Tina Turner and her dancers looked pretty much the same as Beyonce and her dancers do. You must have missed that entire decade. Google Proud Mary by Ike and Tina Turner.
Who is Beyonce?That must not be my type of listing music.
My holocaust survivor grandparents both loved this song. I grew up hearing them sing this. They have sinced passed and hearing this brings up fond memories.
Песня русских эмигрантов.
The lyrics are completely different, they are not an Eglish translation or the Russian lyrics, and the music itself was changed to fit the English lyrics. It's been altered enough for two songs to be completely seperate things.
@JLM1883 after the war they moved to NY. It's possible they knew the original Russian version but I'm referring to the fact that I heard them singing the English version :)
@@jiggajewjay Конечно, знали.
75 now and grew up listening to the so called British music invasion and Mary Hopkins became my instant crush then. I love her beauty, demure personality and her lovely angelic voice. ❤
I'm 54 and English, and only just discovering what a sham the British invasion of US was. I could give a clue but I must respect your age. It's something we must learn only if we care to do so. I agree with you about Mary, my parents played this song on record player when I was very small and I still love this tune.
This brings me back to the days when I was a soldier masquerading as Santa Claus and giving presents to political inmates in a stadium in Equatorial Guinea on Christmas Day 1969.
that's what brought me here
🤝
Where have all these good days gone? The 60s and 70s were such great days
So were the 80s en maybe the 90s also. And after the millennium everything went wrong: wrong leaders with their wrong beliefs and power, influx of masses of violent people, loss of cultural values. Even music is not as good as before.
@@ooooiiooooamen brother!
So we're the 50s.But it's so long ago.I can't remember a song ........😂😂😂maybe Annette Mills singing "I like muffin the Mule"
Go.Annette 🙏😂🇬🇧
Meanwhile in Equatorial Guinea on Christmas Eve 1969.
Couldn't agree with you more, 1960's to early 1990's was great til digusting/condescending/nasty/racist rap and most hip hop music dominated and corrupted generations after 1996.
OMG my oldest sister Sue LOVED this song. RIP Sue.
My mom loves this song and it’s always stuck in her head ❤
I believe this song goes back a long way . .
20yo in 1968, 75yo now...oh yes 55 yrs ago...long gone now.

"...we never though they'd end." She has no idea just how true that is. I was in my teens when that came out and now 75. Just when did THAT happen!?
❤
Turn around and it happened. It's hard to see that things are changing and all of a sudden it does.
Scary I know,😮
In 1968 I was 9. I remember listening to this song on the radio. Have always been a music lover & 50's & 60's music are among my most favorites.
I was 13, we should email, we could share plenty of nostalgia, tears, memories and water under the Bridge
Right there with you, now i got to watch the Monkeys!
I was 9 in 1968 too .. hi
People say that she hates the song but she doesn’t! Her voice is so elegant and beautiful as always. As she grew older, her voice is the same as she was so young and that’s a talent!
"Oh my friend we're older but no wiser; for in our hearts the dreams are still the same"
A happy, nostalgic song that seems to refer to another, older happy times!!
1968-I was 16 years old. Great music, burgers, shakes- Now it's lousy music and kale salads, although I admit eating healthily is a lot easier now and is the way to go. I was blessed to have my childhood in the 50's and 60's. It's getting mighty strange out there now.
you def were lucky !! i’m turning 17 in 2022 and it just is no fun ... :(

Reminds me of fun times down at a football stadium in central africa back in the late 60’s.
LMAO I just got here from wikipedia reading about this 😂😂
I see what you did here!! December of 1969 was wonderful memories.
What a fun Christmas eve that was. I still have my Santa hat!
So edgey. Our sweet summer child found the extremist rabbit hole. See you on the news someday.
Still listening this song in 2023. Mary’s voice is really amazing and stunning☺️

Mary had a beautiful voice. Notice that singers back then did not rely on computer enhanced gimmicks or anything else. Their talent carried them. Obviously, talent was better back then.
It was dubbed.
@@AR-cp5dz yes it was lip synced. But George is right. These days computers are commonly used to substitute for vocal ability.
But they were REAL musicians then, and they could actually sing. Not the monotone screamers of nowadays.
@@AR-cp5dz But they dubbed their OWN voice.
DEFINITELY NO AUTOTUNE!
For sure those were the days and I thought they would never end.
In those days we thought that we were invincible
First time I saw Mary Hopkin I think she is a living doll, she is very beautiful.
She's an angel, all right. And what a sweet, pure voice.
I'm from Russia. Why have I known this song since childhood, although I have never listened to it)))
Another commentor said the music is an old Russian folk song. 😊
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами.Где ещё такое могло быть, как не у нас в России?
We're the wonderful days it's never came back
no it's only gets woyce and woyce 😉
Mary Hopkin was an excellent singer. And a very beautiful lady
YES!! Stunning!
Is.
I wonder if she's related to 'Eve' on "Last Man Standing" They could pass for identical twins .
And a very beautiful voice as well
Beautiful voice and facade, what a combination.

POV: You heard this song on January 24, 1969 in Equatorial Guinea:
"Eyy It's Santa, what's he holding? oh wait there's more of them."
A 20 year old singing "Those were the days"? I loved hearing this on the radio when I was 10 years young in 1969.
Pergunta ele qual e a Estação 😅📻 Act #
Was radio from Equatorial Guine in a footbal Stadium?
This is a haunting rendition of a song that makes us relive our youth
This wonderful song is so true. As you get older, you realise how true it is
Once upon a time you could get famous with your vocals without being half naked! Love it
I agree. Let's go back to real music.
not true, wearing a mini skirt was being half-naked in the 60s and 70s. Just because it seems innocent today it does not mean that was always the case. To me it doesn't take anything from the sond or artist either way.
Yeh but unfortunately not as famous as people are getting now. These people deserved it way more :(
you can still do that lol
This was my father's favorite song in 1970. I've heard this 1000 times before I was 10. Thanks for sharing the memories ~*

메리 특유의 바이브레이션이
노래를 더욱더 애절하게 느껴지게 합니다.
They removed the second verse of the song from this live arrangement, which mentions she and her friends having lost their starry notions while the years went rushing by. The emotional impact of the song is greatly diminished when this verse is removed. When this recording first came on the radio in 1968 and 1969, I remember its emotional impact was so strong it could make me cry. Listening to the radio in 1968, and 1969, all I can say is, those were the days.
I agree...
absolutely!!!
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Lots of these shows edited songs for time, or they thought the audience had short attention spans.
I think the edited version works quite well. In it, you get more of an impression of the speaker and her friend meeting for the first time since their youth - and this impression moves me. (I agree that the omitted verse is a good verse.)
Bing Crosby sings all four verses of the song - as does Hopkin in her original recording. But he shifts what is the second verse in Hopkin’s recording to the fourth verse position. I can see why he does this. But no order seems right to me.
This song was a hit when I was 4 years old yet I still remember it well. Always loved it's old world feel. Great performance by Mary.
I was 5. Grandma would play this 45 on the old console record player!
I remember this song from my childhood. Do you know the year it was popular?
I was 4 too, behind the iron curtain in Hungary... but of course this song was a big hit here as well!

I can remember the first time I heard this song. It was on this Ed Sullivan show. We were at my Aunts home and my Uncle Hugh went to the piano and played the song by just hearing it for the first time. At the time I didn't think it that unusual, but now I truly see Hugh's talent.
Mary Hopkin is beautiful.
My cousin passed away the night i saw she sing this on TV. She was 21 and looked like Mary with strawberry blonde hair
I am so sorry! Why did she die so young? Best regards! This one and the russian original version are very beautiful.

This song made me feel very sad because our friendship is not the same as when we were young 😌😥
Mary Hopkins was on The Beatle's Apple Records. This song was produced by Paul McCartney.
Reached #2, but held back from #1 by The Beatles "Hey Jude".
Back then, I thought it was Paul's composition given to Mary & when I read it at Wikipedia it was a melody from a Russian classic. Darn, I was wrong through all those years !
@@ravenbonanza1522 He wrote her other hit "Goodbye"...as if he didn't have his hands full writing all those masterpieces with the Fabs lol
I have the record on the Apple label with the McCartney production credit along with a description of how he discovered her. I think the point of Apple was to find unknown talent. Its a nice keepsake.
You spelled her name wrong. It's Hopkin, not Hopkins.
Oh boy haven't heard this for more than 50 years. What a gorgeous girl and lovely rendition. Proof that BLONDES are defynightly NOT DUMB !

From Russia with Love!
Really this is a 19th-century Russian romance.
@@ivanbangov43No, this song was written in Soviet Russia in the beginning of 1920x, in times of NEP. Then a few years later it was considered "bourgeoisie" and forbidden in Soviet Union, so only Russian immigrants to the West saved it by singing and recording it ( e.g. Vertinski in 1925 in Paris). Then in 60x Raskin created absolutely new English lyrics to the song (nothing to do with original Russian text's translation) and Paul McCartney changed instrumentation for the Mary's recording which instantly become very popular around the world and then it was translated to other languages.
@@Mike-nu5nq OK, thank you.
@@Mike-nu5nq forbidden in the Soviet Union? I was born in 1956 and know this song from my childhood.Maybe i am forbidden too?
@@vlodo03 The song was forbidden in USSR in 30x and early 40x with others so-called bourgeois "tavern romances" ( "кабацкие романсы"). Then, after the end of WW2, the famous singer Vertinsky returned to USSR and he was allowed to sing and record his old repertoire including the romances. So, yes, this song has become known again in USSR since late 40x, but there it was always announced as "old folk romance", which , of course, was not true.
We thought they would never end . . . but they did. Damn.
😢think about it .sure do miss those days
정말 옛날이 그립다.
This brings a lump to my throat. What a beautiful voice she had and what a great song and rhythm. It takes me back to my youth!
Oh, wow. Mary was around 18 years old when she so powerfully recorded this song. She was just starting out on life’s great adventure as an adult. I’m now 77. She’s now over age 70. I’d love to hear her sing it again with her actual memories of “those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end.” What a beautiful voice and a good lookin’ kid.
그 시절 그 연세에도 팝송을 즐기셨던 아버지는 참 멋진 분이었다. 거실에 있던 천일사 전축으로 초록색 사과가 있던 메리 홉킨의 앨범을 많이도 들었었다. 환갑을 훌쩍 넘긴 지금도 가장 즐겨듣는 플레이리스트에 자리잡고 있다. 도대체 지난 50여년간 몇 번이나 이 노래를 들었을까. 그리고 이 가사는 어찌나 마음을 흔들던지.... 결은 다르지만 Eagles의 Sad Cafe가 이 노래와 비슷해서 둘 다 좋아한다.
