In Memory of Melanie

Melanie Safka-Schekeryk (February 3, 1947 – January 23, 2024) was one of my favorite female singer-songwriters. Her popularity soared after the August 1969 Woostock Festival and she’s best know from her biggest hits Lay Down (Candles In The Rain) and Brand New Key. She had six Top 40 hits in the U.S.
