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.
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 🙏😂🇬🇧
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!
Paul McCartney produced this track and then it consequently knocked Hey Jude off the top spot. There's gratitude for you!
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
😅😅😅
Großpapa? Bist that Du?
i truly belive those were the days..
Thank you for your service sir. You are loved more than you know. God bless!
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...
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.
Just a beautiful song about life !
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!
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.
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"
20yo in 1968, 75yo now...oh yes 55 yrs ago...long gone now.

I'm 61. I love this song and my sister too. She had passed away but I'm still listening to the song.
Mary was the only singer my dad ever listened to. He wanted me to be like her. Miss those days.
brings back memories from 1970
im so sorry
@@aromaseawater1492And I'm sure you turned out far better than that!
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.

"...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.
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?
..... ach waren das schöne Zeiten damals 😭😭😭
For sure those were the days and I thought they would never end.
In those days we thought that we were invincible
"Oh my friend we're older but no wiser; for in our hearts the dreams are still the same"
I enjoyed this song years ago, but never knew that Paul McCartney produced it 🤩👏
SHE'S BEAUTIFUL AND WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE! LUV THE LYRICS!
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.
Mary Hopkin is still performing. She still has a beautiful voice and is also a wonderful song writer. ❤️
I heard she had passed?🙏🥰

It was also a good time to be two, as I was.
You’re 10yrs older than me 😮
It was an even better time to be 20 we were the blessed generation and the average man could buy a house those were the days
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.
When this came out i was 5 months away from being drafted in the Army. A year from this time i was in Vietnam. What a beautiful young women and great singer. As i now look back. I guess those were the good old days.
I think I will move to England. Their singers are wonderful. Beautiful with a perfect voice.
No gimmick's just a good singer and a mike, with a live band no gimmick's, real music
Every good singer should have a Mike 😂
@@Mike8981Meoww Mike
My cousin passed away the night i saw she sing this on TV. She was 21 and looked like Mary with strawberry blonde hair
What a classic,❤❤❤❤❤ I was walking home singing it !....Recall it like yesterday, Googled it ,& here I am .❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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 Have Loved Her for 54 Years I was 13!
I grew up in Waterbury Connecticut Lisa the songs I was listening to when I was a young kid with my friends and that was during the Vietnam war and everything you know going on in the world love peace and happiness
Wow, Mary Hopkin is absolutely Gorgeous and with a lovely, sweet voice.

i grew up in the 70's and this song hurts my heart
The 70s were the best!
Song was from 68.....70s great thou
@@jesse2375 yes but it got a lot of airplay in early 70's i was about 6 or 7
I remember this song waiting for bus to go see plant of the apes in Brooklyn at fortway theater.....Always had my transistor radio with me....Before F.M took hold.
@@jesse2375 I had my hand sized radio under my pillow when going to sleep this song stands out and also bohemian rhapsody and seasons in the sun 😁
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.
Wonderful voice and song by her. I remember that song back in my young days. She was a beautiful talented and a feminine women with class. Too many of the young women today are anything but that. Blue green, red ,hair, tats all over,piercings overweight and slutty. Glad i grew up meeting young women like Mary. I feel sorry for young men today.
My dad used to tear up when he'd hear this song, so many years ago. Then, I didnt understand why he was emotional...Now I do.
I’m feeling it too…

A 20 year old singing "Those were the days"? I loved hearing this on the radio when I was 10 years young in 1969.

time goes by so very fast but song like this stay forever - Ein schönes Lied - wunderbare Sängerin - schöne Zeiten - so far away!
My Grandmother loved this song. I remember dancing in a circle with her and my sister to this song
Mary Hopkin is beautiful.
Es war wie wie Hymne, wunderschön!
This is a haunting rendition of a song that makes us relive our youth
Красивая женщина с красивым голосом поёт красивую песню.
Beautiful Young Lady. Beautiful Voice. Great Song. 👀 ❤️
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.
4me the bestANGEL VOICE I ever heard since1969 now that I have72 & still listing2here
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!
Those were the days where singers were praised for their melodious voice. Unlike today’s era where all there is… is too much dependence on auto-tune and computer softwares to change their voice, seduction, excessive skin and flesh rather than music, what a hedonistic society we have become.
Que voz maravilhosa é essa da Mary Hopkins, desde criança na década de 1960 eu já gostava de ouvir as músicas cantadas por ela .
Very nice, I`m 75 and remember it well.
메리홉킨스님 너무 아름답고 목소리가 청아하네요^^ 세월이 무상하지만 하나님의 은혜로 충만하시기를 빕니다. 아멘.
She as beautiful as her voice.
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
The days of talent, civility, and respect.
When she recorded this song, the producer was Paul McCartney. Absolutely beautiful and sweet.
Amen

As good as it gets. We got older, but not necessarily wiser.
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!

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.

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.

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.
Got diagnosed with 2nd cancer, went through another full course of chemo and radiation, took the last after CT scan and today doc told me the scan was clean but he won't be so lucky if I won't give up my smoking.

Just listened, after 60+ years, with an old flame. Very moving.❤
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.
I love this song very much❤. Beautiful voice😊
Paul McCartney first heard this song in London in 1964 at the cabaret concert of the US singer with the Russian roots (don't remember his name), although originally the song was written in Russia in the 20s. Paul did not want to sing this song himself, but the fantastic tune and mood of the song impressed him that much, so in 1968 he produced this song having selected the young singer Mary Hopkin. To date, this is the only Russin song, that became No1 in the British charts and No 2 in the US (right after "Hey Jude" by Paul)❤
