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.
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
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 !
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....
Thanks a lot for this valued upload and the allowing this here - for the Apple Corps Ltd. Yesterday 30/7/2011 I met the "Post CardS" at HMV ÆON Mall Musashi Murayama Tokyo just neighbouring Saitama Pref. Of course I took one M
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).
+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.
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.
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 UA-cam -she somehow slipped under my radar but I'm now a fan!
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.
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.
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.
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) !
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.
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.
+wandering trash He most certainly did write it. His original demo of it is on UA-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.
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!
MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SONG WHO WAS WRITTEN BY SIR JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY. AT THIS TIME HE WAS ONLY 27 YEARS OLD. MARY SHE WAS ONLY 19 TH YEARS OLD WHEN THE VIDEO ABOVE WAS RECORDED. MARY ARE BORN AT THE SOME DATE AS MY SELF. MARY SHE ARE 16 YEARS OLDER AN ME. SHE IS TODAY AN OLDER WOMAN WHO ARE 72 YEARS OLD. I AM ONLY 56 YEARS OLD. SIR PAUL HAD HIS BIRTHDAY AT 18 TH JUNE, BUT I WROTED MY COMMENT AT THE NIGHT BEETWEEN 18 TH AND 19 TH JUNE 2022. SO I SAYING TOO YOU KNOW: GOODBYE-GOODBYE-GOODBYE-GOODBYEEEE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY WHEN YOU KNOW BEEN 80 YEARS OLD 18 TH JUNE 2022!
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) :-)
What a wonderful voice. How come no one sings this well anymore?
I hadn’t heard this since about 1989..until today on the radio. What a great flashback!
I just love Paul’s intro - it sets the tone for a gorgeous song that is sung and arranged perfectly.

Lovely song and catchy melody as only Sir Paul can compose.

Beautiful voice , beautiful smile , beautiful woman .
He couldnt have given that song to anyone better. What a voice!
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.
Mary, sings beautifully, a melodious and beautiful voice
Sweet-looking girl, lovely voice, a touching and haunting song. Pure pop perfection!?
Marvelous ! she always has a so beautiful voice ! Paul's version is so good too !
Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice.
Goodbye.

This is a fantastic video. I've never seen this video in such pristine condition. Thank You for uploading this.
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 song was playing on the radio as I was being sent to Viet Nam. I still like it.
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 !

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.

Oh yeah! Very nice! How sweet!
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.
Paul always had an eye for talented musicians.
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.
A reluctant star. Such a sweetheart.
ذكرتني بقصص الخيال الجميلة بصوتها كأنها ليدي خيالية
are you sure about that? I tend to disagree
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

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.

listening this song over n over again yet its february 2020
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THEN AND NOW
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.
Such a wonderful combination of modern pop music and Victorian nostalgia
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.
Una maravilla. Hacía casi medio siglo que no la escuchaba y nunca visto.
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.
Mary Hopkin did this song justice.
Simply Wonderful. Todays music? What music?

Vernon Schaal Paul competing with.. well Paul.
I love that ending, where she just looks into the camera, then looks away.
Wow! How fantastic!! Completely SPLENDID version.
This is such a perfect song in all aspects. I have to listen to it at least a couple of times.
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!
Mary looks a dream
Forgot about this one - 'Those were the days ' was her first hit I think.
Brilliant song brilliant voice

Still love Mary's music. I often am more thankful that the beetles gave us Mary more-so than themselves.
A true gem!
Oh my God..she's so beautiful
La contribucion de la mujer a la historia del rock es inmensa y fructifera ❤
What a team.
Still one of my favorites...
Mary was one gorgeous girl ,brill song too

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).

bellissima voce
Brilliant voice Welsh lass where did she go
Check out Cecile - Goodbye, another version.
The Beatles vibes are felt here. And its good ❤
One question... How many female singers these days can sing like this woman can?
She looks pretty unimpressed / pissed off with Paul in this vid , and wonder - bet his ego had gotten the better of him by the looks of it
Why do people have to decide there is something to be speculated on rather than just say nowt.
I love her and also her music❤️
very nice great song!
The fact that Paul can turn one night stand experiences to hit songs is amazing
Don`t know john. Maybe you should ask her out? And Zoe... debbie has the pipes too! Check out Sunday Girl for a cutie.
lovely song
She has huge dark blue eyes! Beautiful!
This is just GREAT....thanks for the vid.
Mary has such beautiful eyes. Does anyone know if her eyes are blue or more greyish-green?
haven't heard this in many many years. is she doing anything nowadays?
Yes lots go here for more info www.maryhopkin.com/
She also has a FB page here facebook.com/maryhopkin?fref=ts
Pat Richmond thank you.

This was a hit in April 1969
she's only 18 here that's crazy
