#RIP #Melanie
Melanie Safka was a huge star in the late 60s, early 70s, with quite a few hits to her credit. With her lovely and powerful voice she displayed humor, emotion and the kind of social conscience not lately in vogue. When the times changed and her audience shrank somewhat she proved herself to be a welcome and enduring presence in popular music able to roll with the changes in music and the music business. It saddens me to see another great talent come to the end of her life and I'm grateful for every minute I got to spend hearing her sing.
