| | Mary Hopkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mary Hopkin (born May 3, 1950) is a British singer. | | | Despite competition from a well-established star, Sandie Shaw, who released her version of the same song as a single, Hopkin's version became a #1 hit in the UK singles chart, and reached #2 in the US. | | | After marrying record producer Tony Visconti in 1971, she mainly withdrew from the pop music scene to have a family, although she sang backing vocals for "Sound and Vision" on the 1977 David Bowie album Low as well as appearing on the 1977 Thin Lizzy album 'Bad Reputation' (produced by Visconti). |

| | Mary Timony - PopMatters Concert Review |
| | Timony went from singing about the constraints and freedoms of being labeled a hag, crone, witch, bitch, whore and priss; to singing of dragons, elves, wizards and spells, accompanied by harpsichords, lyres, dulcimers and other such bygone instrumentation. | | | The keyboard actually allows Timony to achieve some wonderful texture for the songs; "The Mirror" sounds as if it is drenched in synth-feedback. | | | Timony seems to have de-evolved, regressed into some awkward teenager's bedroom fantasy, no longer grappling with how to successfully combine being an individual, a woman and someone else's fantasy, into one cohesive whole. |

| | Kelly’s conceptual achievement is that the procedures of filtration and compression implemented by both the media source and her ballad are echoed in the installation’s material form. | | | Kelly’s ballad was set to music by composer Michael Nyman; the piece was performed for the first time at the opening by his string quartet accompanied by soprano Sarah Leonard. | | | Transforming the press account, Kelly’s own narrative further compresses Kastroit’s story of miraculous survival into three stanzas and a shorter envoi, which are intended to evoke the traditional folk ballad. |
