TenStarsplus!!! Thank you for sharing this video with us!!! It's fantabulous!!! I would love to hear Mary Hopkin, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins singing this together as a trio!!! I wonder if any one out there can pull a rabit out of the hat and make it happen???!!! That would be the song of the century!!!! Stephen

At the time everyone I knew who'd heard her sing said it was without doubt *the* best rendition they'd heard... and to me it is still the best.

Her voice had such a clear tone and her delivery is so confident and vibrant that even within sound quality this bad she still sings like an angel. Almost in tears.

She was just 20 then and I so wish she'd not gone off to get married and all bar abandoned her pop career.

For me tho, her best song tho is still "Goodbye". Pure magic.

Hi Pat

Have to admit that close second on 'Recollections' for me is the lovely 'Quiet Moments'. Just love the backing vocals. Also I do like Mary's version of 'Pefect Love'. My fave tracks from 'Valentine' are 'Sometimes It's Not Enough' and 'Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth'. I remember Mary's angelic vocals on Tom Paxton's 'Peace Will Come' (which I once sang with my sister) and 'What A Friend You Are'. Lovely memories Take care Phil

@skeazle I'm sorry, I've been a big fan of Ms Collins and Ms Hopkin for almost 50 years, this is Ms Hopkin.

They sang this at an Oh Canada Eh! dinner show in Niagara Falls and I cried my eyes out!

Well I'd hoped Mary Hopkin had done this song and I think she's done it best of all. Thanks for posting.

@skeazle No I can comfirm it really is Mary. have a listen to her live at the Royal Festival Hall Cd, go to maryhopkinDOTcom

I think this is really Judy Collins. It's not Mary Hopkins voice.
