RIP Melanie, Woodstock singer

She didn't turn out a lot of hit music, but the hits she did have were really good and have stood the test of time. I love "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" - a lot of vocal power in that one. And "Brand New Key" - just a fun song that's not as innocent as it sounds!

"Singer Melanie, one of only nine women who performed at Woodstock in 1969, died at the age of 76 on Jan. 23, her family confirmed.

"Known for her powerful, gravelly voice, Anne Safka-Schekeryk broke through with her 1970 song “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain),” which was inspired by her experience at the festival.

"She had several more hits – including “Brand New Key” and a cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Ruby Tuesday” – in a career that began in 1967 and continued until her death. She’d been working on what was to be her 32nd album.

Thanks for posting. I'm old enough to remember her. That don't make talent like that anymore.

Sorry. I meant THEY don't make talent like that anymore. I'm old and don't know how to edit.

Sad.

"Candles in the Rain" was a good song.
