Got a big boost from The Beatles and their friends, in launching her
first album; singer-songwriters Harry Nilsson and Donovan, and even producer
George Martin, all contributed songs, with Donovan also singing a duet with her on
her album and for a live appearance. Paul McCartney produced the sessions,
selecting and arranging many of the tunes.
Her first single, "Those Were The Days", was included in an exclusive
box set of Apple's first four releases, presented to a handful of VIPs
in 1968, including Britain's Queen Mother.
Disliked the "schoolgirl" image associated with her, as an Apple
Records artist, and became one of the first artists to leave
Apple.
Recorded under her married name (Mary Visconti) as a background
vocalist for other artists that her husband produced.
Finally revisited her Apple Records releases in the mid-1990s, choosing
tracks for an extended CD reissue of her best-ofs album. She'd also
begun recording new music, this time with her son.
