السيرة الذاتية

مهنة الغناء المبكر

ولدت هوبكين في عائلة ناطقة باللغة الويلزية في بونتارداوي، ويلز؛ عمل والدها ضابط سكن.[2] أخذت دروس الغناء الأسبوعية عندما كانت طفلة وبدأت مسيرتها الموسيقية كمغنية شعبية مع مجموعة محلية تسمى سيلبي سيت وماري. أصدرت أغنية EP من الأغاني باللغة الويلزية لشركة تسجيل محلية تدعى الكمبري، ومقرها في مسقط رأسها، قبل التوقيع على سجلات أبل، المملوكة لفرقة البيتلز، وهي واحدة من أوائل الفنانين الذين فعلوا ذلك.[3] رأت عارضة الأزياء تويجي فوزها في برنامج المواهب التلفزيوني البريطاني «تقرع الفرصة» وأوصتها بول مكارتني. [3]

صدرت أغنيتها المنفردة الأولى " تلك كانت الأيام، التي أنتجها مكارتني، في المملكة المتحدة في 30 أغسطس 1968. على الرغم من المنافسة من النجمة المعروفة ساندي شو، الذي تم إصدار نسختها الفردية من الأغنية أيضًا في ذلك العام، أصبحت نسخة هوبكن رقم 1 على مخطط الفردي في المملكة المتحدة.[4] وصلت إلى المرتبة الثانية في Billboard Hot 100 في الولايات المتحدة، حيث احتلت الصدارة لمدة ثلاثة أسابيع من قبل فريق البيتلز "Hey Jude",[5] وقضيت أسبوعين في المركز الأول على مخطط الفردي RPMفي كندا. باعت أكثر من 1500000 نسخة في الولايات المتحدة وحدها، وحصلت على gold disc من RIAA. تجاوزت المبيعات العالمية 8.000.000.[6]

في 2 أكتوبر 1968، ظهرت هوبكن في كاتدرائية القديس پولس في لندن من أجل "تجربة البوب"، حيث غنت "Morning of My Life" و "Turn Turn Turn" و "Plaisir d'amour".[7] في ديسمبر من ذلك العام، ذكرت مجلة الموسيقى NME أن هوبكن كانت تفكر في القيام بدور رئيسي في فيلم Stanley Baker المخطط له "Rape of the Fair Country" ، والذي كان من المقرر أن يستند إلى كتاب ألكسندر كورديل الذي يحمل نفس الاسم.[8] لم يتحقق هذا المشروع بالذات، لكن هوبكن غنت عنوان الأغنية لاثنين من أفلام Baker، Where's Jack? و Kidnapped.

في 21 فبراير 1969، صدر ألبوم هوبكن الأول Post Card، الذي أنتجه مكارتني مرة أخرى.[9] تضمنت الأغلفة من ثلاث أغنيات من Donovan، الذي لعب أيضًا في الألبوم، وأغنية واحدة لكل من جورج مارتن وهاري نيلسون. وصلت إلى المرتبة الثالثة على مخطط ألبومات المملكة المتحدة، على الرغم من أنها أثبتت نجاحها الفردي في هذا المخطط.[4] في الولايات المتحدة، وصلت "Post Card" إلى رقم 28 في مخطط ألبومات Billboard.[5]

الأغنية التالية كانت "Goodbye" كتبها مكارتني (يُنسب إلى لينون مكارتني، وتم إصدارها في 26 مارس 1969.[10] وصلت إلى رقم 2 على مخطط الفردي في المملكة المتحدة،[4] ورقم 13 على Billboard Hot 100 [10] ورقم 15 على مخطط RPM في كندا.[11] قالت هوبكن إنها فسرت "Goodbye" على أنها تعهد مكارتني بالتوقف عن " الإدارة الدقيقة" لمسيرتها المهنية، لأنها كانت غير مرتاحة لمكانتها كمغنية موسيقى البوب.[12] كما أعربت عن عدم ارتياحها لمديرها في هذا الوقت تيري دوران.[13]

الأغنية المنفردة الثالثة لهوبكين، "Temma Harbour"، كانت إعادة ترتيب لأغنية Philamore Lincoln. أول أغنية منفردة لها لن تنتجها مكارتني،[14] تم إصدارها في 16 يناير 1970 وبلغت ذروتها في المرتبة 6 في المملكة المتحدة ورقم 42 في كندا.[15] في الولايات المتحدة، وصل فيلم "Temma Harbour" إلى المركز 39 في قائمة "Billboard" Hot 100 ورقم 4 على المجلة Easy Listening chart.[16] جنبا إلى جنب مع Donovan و Billy Preston، كانت هوبكن أحدي مغنيات الكورس في أغنية "Govinda" لمعبد رادها كريشنا عام 1970، من إنتاج جورج هاريسون لشركة Apple Records.[17]

Eurovision

In March 1970, Hopkin represented the United Kingdom in the 1970 Eurovision Song Contest, achieving second place with "Knock, Knock Who's There?"[3] Despite being the pre-contest favourite, Hopkin lost to "All Kinds of Everything", performed by Irish singer Dana.[18] Produced by Mickie Most, "Knock, Knock Who's There?" was released as a single on 23 March 1970 and peaked at number 2 in the UK.[4] It was a worldwide hit, selling over a million.[بحاجة لمصدر]

Hopkin's final big hit was "Think About Your Children", released in October 1970, which reached number 19 in the UK. Hopkin has expressed dissatisfaction with the material produced by Most, who had taken over as her producer with "Temma Harbour". After appearing in Eurovision, Hopkin wanted to return to her folk-music roots.

After Eurovision

At McCartney's insistence, Hopkin had recorded a cover of "Que Sera, Sera" in August 1969.[19] Hopkin had no wish to record the song and refused to have the single released in Britain.[19] Initially issued in France in September 1969, it was released in North America in June 1970.[14] The single peaked at number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100[14] and number 47 in Canada,[بحاجة لمصدر] and was also a hit in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Rhodesia (present-day Zimbabwe).

The last single to hit the British charts was "Let My Name Be Sorrow", which reached number 46 in July 1971. It was produced by Tony Visconti, whom Hopkin had met earlier for a Welsh recording of "Sparrow". "Let My Name Be Sorrow" was a hit in Poland in January 1972.

Hopkin's second album, Earth Song, Ocean Song, was released by Apple on 1 October 1971. The album was produced by Visconti and included cover versions of songs written by Cat Stevens, Gallagher and Lyle and Ralph McTell, as well as the two title tracks by Liz Thorsen. Hopkin felt it was the album she had always wanted to make, so, coinciding with her marriage to Visconti and with little left to prove, she left the music scene.[20] The album's single, "Water, Paper and Clay", missed the Billboard Hot 100. It was Hopkin's last single for Apple Records, which she left in March 1972.

After Hopkin's departure from Apple, a compilation album titled Those Were the Days was released in the latter part of 1972. The album featured all of Hopkin's hits but failed to chart. ”Knock Knock, Who's There?" was released as a single in the United States and Canada, both countries having been excluded from the first release of that record in 1970. The single reached number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Easy Listening chart in December 1972, giving Hopkin her last US hit.

مسلسلات تلفزيونية

Following her appearance in the Eurovision contest, Hopkin had her own peak time TV series, Mary Hopkin in the Land of ..., on BBC 1. Created by Eric Merriman, each episode featured Hopkin looking at a different aspect of storytelling through music and dance. The six 30-minute programmes were broadcast in 1970 and were repeated in 1971.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

After the hit singles

After marrying Visconti in 1971,[3] Hopkin withdrew from the pop-music scene to have a family. Although reportedly unhappy with show business, she did not stop recording. She travelled to Australia with Visconti in January 1972 and performed at a large outdoor rock festival in South Australia, in addition to giving concerts in several major cities.[بحاجة لمصدر] In March, Hopkin announced her departure from Apple Records; her manager, Jo Lustig, said they were considering offers from "three major [record] companies".[29] In June, the single "Summertime Summertime" / "Sweet and Low" was released on Bell Records under the name of Hobby Horse. The A-side was a cover of a 1958 song by the Jamies. With Visconti's assistance, she released the 1972 Christmas single "Mary Had a Baby" / "Cherry Tree Carol" on Regal Zonophone Records.

Hopkin starred in her own, one-off TV special for BBC 1 on 29 July 1972. Titled Sing Hi, Sing Lo, it was billed simply as "light entertainment starring Mary Hopkin".[30]

Although no other singles or albums came out in her name until 1976, she sang on numerous recordings that her husband produced, such as those featuring Tom Paxton, Ralph McTell, David Bowie (Low), Bert Jansch, The Radiators from Space, Thin Lizzy, Carmen, Sarstedt Brothers, Osibisa, Sparks, Hazel O'Connor, and Elaine Paige. On all of these recordings (and also on her husband's own Inventory album) she is credited as "Mary Visconti". During this time, she also appeared on various TV shows such as Cilla Black's, and various radio programmes.

العودة إلى التسجيل

In 1976, she returned to recording under her birth name and released the single "If You Love Me (Really Love Me)" (originally recorded by Édith Piaf as "Hymne à l'amour"), which reached Number 32 in the UK chart.[4] The B-side, "Tell Me Now", was an original composition by Hopkin. Her next single was "Wrap Me in Your Arms", with the B-side again written by Hopkin ("Just A Dreamer"). These singles came out on Visconti's Good Earth Records label.[4] Several songs recorded for an album at the time have now been released under Hopkin's own label, Mary Hopkin Music.[1]

Two members of Steeleye Span (Bob Johnson and Pete Knight) chose Hopkin to play "Princess Lirazel" on their concept album The King of Elfland's Daughter. She also appeared at the Cambridge Folk Festival with Bert Jansch. In 1976, her second child was born. Before the 1970s ended, Decca released a compilation album of Hopkin's Cambrian recordings, The Welsh World of Mary Hopkin.

عقد 1980

Hopkin in 1982

Hopkin's first project in the 1980s was a well-reviewed stint playing the Virgin Mary in Rock Nativity at the Hexagon Theatre in Reading, Berkshire.[7] After this, Mike Hurst (record producer and formerly of the Springfields) asked her to sing lead in a new group named Sundance that he had formed with Mike de Albuquerque of ELO.[3] Their only single, "What's Love", allowed them to tour the UK with Dr. Hook but Hopkin quickly left the group, dissatisfied with the gigs. "What's Love" proved very popular in South Africa, albeit the only territory where it charted, peaking at no.10 in April 1982. In 2002, Hurst released recordings from this time on the Angel Air label.

Hopkin and Visconti divorced in 1981. The following year she provided vocals on "Rachael's Song" for the Vangelis soundtrack of Blade Runner. Around 1984, Peter Skellern asked her to join him and Julian Lloyd Webber in a group called Oasis. Their self-titled and only album, Oasis, was released on WEA along with two singles. The album reached number 23 on the UK album chart in 1984 and remained there for 14 weeks. A tour of the UK was planned but was brought to an abrupt end because Hopkin became ill. The group disbanded shortly afterwards.

During the 1980s, Hopkin appeared in several charity shows, including an appearance at the London Palladium with Ralph McTell. In 1988, she took part in George Martin's production of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood. She played the character Rosie Probert and performed a piece called "Love Duet" with Freddie Jones as Captain Cat. The making of the record was filmed and made into a special edition of The South Bank Show, where Hopkin and Jones were shown rehearsing and recording "Love Duet". In 1992, the cast reunited for a performance of the play as a tribute to Thomas in the presence of Prince Charles for The Prince's Trust.[7]

Hopkin recorded an album called Spirit in 1989. This was released on the Trax label and is a collection of light classical songs and featured the single "Ave Maria". The record was produced by Benny Gallagher, of Gallagher and Lyle, who had contributed songs to her during her days at Apple Records.

عقد 1990

Early in 1990, Hopkin sang with The Chieftains at the London Palladium in a charity show and later joined them on a tour of the UK.

She continued to do projects of her choosing, working with people such as Julian Colbeck; she wrote the lyrics and performed a song on his CD Back to Bach. Also, there was Marc Cerrone's The Collector, a stage play/opera, for which she performed two songs on the CD and video. She worked again with old friends, the guitarist Brian Willoughby and Dave Cousins (of Strawbs) on their CD The Bridge. She also appeared on a Beatles' tribute album by RAM Pietsch.

Album cover of Y Caneuon Cynnar – The Early Recordings

In 1996, the Welsh label Sain bought Cambrian's back catalogue and released all of Hopkin's Welsh recordings on a CD called Y Caneuon Cynnar/The Early Recordings,[31] which removed the overdubbed drums found on the Decca recordings.

In 1999, she again joined The Chieftains on their UK tour and, later that year, performed concerts in Scotland with Benny Gallagher and Jim Diamond.[7] There were also three TV documentaries about her, one each for HTV (1998), BBC Television (1998) and S4C (2000).[7]

She made a guest appearance on The Crocketts' album The Great Brain Robbery, sang the theme song for Billy Connolly's BBC TV series World Tour of England, Ireland and Wales and re-recorded "Those Were The Days" with Robin Williams rapping. She also appeared in the Sara Sugarman film Very Annie Mary.

عقد 2000

In September 2005, she released a retrospective album on a label run by her daughter, Mary Hopkin Music, titled Live at the Royal Festival Hall 1972.[1] It was followed in December 2006 by a Christmas recording, "Snowed Under", released on download only.

To celebrate her 57th birthday in 2007, she released an album called Valentine on her new eponymous label.[1] It included 12 previously unheard tracks dating from 1972 to 1980, three of which were written by Hopkin.[1] In 2008, a new album, Recollections, was released on her own label.[1] It included 11 tracks that were originally recorded between 1970 and 1986, alongside a CD of three Christmas songs which included "Mary Had a Baby" and "The Cherry-Tree Carol" (these tracks were first released on Regal Zonophone in 1972) and "Snowed Under", which was released in 2006 as a download only.

Her final archival CD, Now and Then, was released in May 2009. It comprises 14 tracks recorded between 1970 and 1988. She sang the song "Y 'deryn pur" ("Gentle Bird") on the album Blodeugerdd: Song of the Flowers – An Anthology of Welsh Music and Song released by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in June 2009.

عقد 2010

Hopkin's daughter, Jessica Lee Morgan, released her first CD, called I Am Not, on which Hopkin sings on several songs.

In October 2010, Hopkin and her son, Morgan Visconti, released You Look Familiar, a collaboration which brings together Hopkin's melodies, lyrics and vocals with her son's instrumentation and arrangements.[32]

In 2013, Painting by Numbers was released on Mary Hopkin Music. The album includes 10 tracks written by Hopkin, two of which are co-written with friends; "Love Belongs Right Here" with Brian Willoughby and "Love, Long Distance" with Benny Gallagher.

For Christmas 2014, Hopkin recorded a single with her son and daughter. The traditional carol, "Iesu Faban" (meaning "Baby Jesus" in Welsh), was described on her website as a "close, intimate choral performance of a traditional Welsh Christmas carol".[33]

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of "Those Were the Days", on 30 August 2018 Hopkin released a new acoustic version, on an EP also featuring the live version from her 1972 "farewell" concert at the Royal Festival Hall. Also included are the versions of "Those Were the Days" and "Goodbye" released in 1977, produced by her then husband, Tony Visconti.[34][بحاجة لمصدر]
