1970: Mary Hopkin, ‘Knock, Knock, Who’s There?’
Welsh folk singer Hopkin gave the UK another second place at Eurovision, after a string of hit singles including Goodbye (written and produced by Paul McCartney).
After she married top producer Tony Visconti in 1971, she withdrew from the limelight, but still sang on several albums he produced, including David Bowie’s Low. After a late-Seventies comeback, she joined a group called Oasis (not the Gallaghers’ band), and sang on Vangelis’s soundtrack for Blade Runner. She is still recording, and released her last studio album in 2013.
In 2018, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her break out single Those Were the Days, produced by Paul McCartney, Hopkin released a new acoustic version of the track.

Lockdown restrictions are beginning to ease, with restaurants and pub gardens opening for al fresco dining next week while gyms are set to open for solo workouts from Monday.
But those who prefer group exercise classes won t be able to get back into real-life classes until Mid May, while many who have caught the fitness bug said they ll never renew their memberships opting for home workouts instead, saving money while staying cautious of the ongoing threat of Covid-19.
A recent survey of 2,572 people by OnBuy.com found just 63 per cent of gym goers have renewed their membership post-lockdown, meaning they re at risk of losing up to 37 per cent of their revenue.
