Mary Hopkin
Following the 1969 song contest in which four, yes four, countries tied in first place (including Lulu with “Boom Bang-a-Bang“), the voting system was changed from the 1970 contest onwards to ensure there wasn’t a repeat of joint winners.
Welsh singer Mary Hopkin’s song was selected via the TV show “It’s Cliff Richard!” where she performed six different numbers until the winning song, “Knock Knock, Who’s There?”, was voted for by public postal vote.
In the run up to the contest, the United Kingdom entry was the favourite to win but was pipped at the post, finishing in second place, by young 18 year old Irish singer Dana who won with “All Kinds of Everything”, but still went on to sell millions of copies around the world.
Before the song contest, Mary Hopkin was one of Apple Records’ first singers who produced her chart-topping song “Those Were the Days”, the second single to be released on Apple after “Hey Jude”.
“Knock Knock, Who’s There?” was lauded by audiences and record-buyers at the time and is still loved by fans to this day.
Also available as part of a group of four prints.
