Melanie Anne Safka-Schekeryk, aka Melanie, the witty, gentle-voiced folk singer-songwriter, who rose to fame with her performance at Woodstock in 1969 and had two major hit singles, “Brand New Key” and “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)”, died January 23. She was 76.
MSTies will recall that she was mentioned in a host segment in episode 204- CATALINA CAPER.
Thanks to Tim and Gordon for the heads up.
