So, Who Were Mary Hopkins, Don Fardon and Al Wilson

Some more information on the singers.

Going back to the music from October 4, 1968:

MARY HOPKINS-- "Those Were the Days"-- Welsh folk singer born 1950 and one of the first musicians to sign with the Beatles' Apple Records label. The song was Top Ten in both the US #2 and UK #1. Born into a Welsh-speaking family and had an album sung in Welsh.


DON FARDON-- "Indian Reservation"-- born Donald Maughn in England. #3 UK, #20 US. Song originally done by John D. Loudermilk.


AL WILSON-- "The Snake"-- Born Allen Lamar 1939 in Mississippi. #27 US. His biggest hit was 1973's "Show and Tell" which was #1 US and #10 UK. Johnny Mathis had taken a pass on it, bet he wished he hadn't.
