Mary Hopkin is a Welsh singer whose recordings connected folk-influenced pop with a clear soprano voice. She came to Paul McCartney's attention as Apple Records was developing its roster in 1968. Those Were the Days introduced her to an international audience, and McCartney produced her first Apple album. Goodbye followed as another familiar single, while further recordings continued the gentle ballad and folk-pop approach associated with her early work.
