Mary
Hopkin: Those Were the Days (1968)
(YouTube.com)
(Song is quite haunting and sad. "Those
Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene
Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song "Dorogoi
dlinnoyu" ("By the long road"), written by Boris
Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin
Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic
idealism. However, it
is best remembered for Mary
Hopkin's 1968 recording, which was a top-ten hit in both the
U.S. and the U.K. )

Lewis MDA Telethon with an emotional version of You'll
Never Walk Alone. Lewis said at the end of the 2007
telethon that the song was suggested to him in 1964 by a disabled
child.
