Mary Hopkin was born on May 3rd, 1950, in Ystradgynlais, South Wales. Alongside playing solo gigs and with her band around the local clubs, Mary released an album of Welsh language songs on a label called Cambrian, before signing to the Beatles' Apple Records. The model Twiggy saw her winning the British ITV television talent show Opportunity Knocks and recommended her to Paul McCartney. She became one of the first artists to record on The Beatles' Apple record label. Mary's debut single, 'Those Were the Days', produced by Paul McCartney, was released in the UK on August 30th, 1968. On 21 February 1969 her debut album, Postcard, also produced by McCartney, was released. She represented the United Kingdom in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest singing 'Knock Knock, Who's There?', coming second in the competition. Her second album, Earth Song, Ocean Song, was produced by Tony Visconti. This is by far Mary's favourite album. Her Apple releases have now been remastered and are available on CD and downloads. After marrying Visconti in 1971, Hopkin withdrew from the pop music scene to have a family. She was involved with several projects, bands and guest appearances over the years. Her daughter, Jessica Morgan, released Live at the Royal Festival Hall 1972 in 2005 under the label Mary Hopkin Music. We've since released more songs recorded with Tony Visconti and albums made by Mary herself. The latest, Another Road, was released in 2020.
