  • I envisioned myself as a mythic woman laying across the hills, part of and connected to the reason for life. I sensed that we were all part of a beautiful plan of peace and creation.

      And THAT'S why any radio stations won't play her music and do everything they can to keep people from remembering her and her music - radio stations are only interested in money - messages that artists like Melanie performed in the 60's, etc., make you look inside yourselves and make you Think - radio won't play this music unless it put money in Their pockets

    I'm becoming progressively more irked that this great lady is almost NEVER mentioned when the other great ladies of the 1960s and '70s music are discussed, including the long-deceased. I don't begrudge anyone's success-- indeed many of these artists amiably share space on my record and CD shelves, and my time, when I have some to listen to them.. But Melanie was out there, doing personal and very well-written lyrics set to her own well-written tunes at the same time (and for decades after) , and even did wonderful covers of others' work, most notably RUBY TUESDAY originally by the Rolling Stones. Others have done hit covers of HER songs as well. She had two gold albums and one gold single, and was the first female artist to have 3 songs in a Top 40 countdown. She was the most notable breakout musician to perform at Woodstock, yet was not included in the documentary. She never won a Grammy, but does share an Emmy for co-writing (with the also-great Lee Holdridge) a love theme for the original 80s series BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. She was, until the pandemic, still quite a draw in Europe. She did a couple of duets with Miley Cyrus which I hoped would revive wider interest, but somehow did not, and NOT because then 70-year-old year-old Melanie wasn't able to keep up with and even surpass Miley! This will mystify me until the end !!!

      I think part of the Beauty of Melanie is that she is not primarily focused on external tributes, but that she is energized by and feels contentment from fans like you, graciously writing to her of your appreciation. Its nice to hear/see how much she has meant to so many.

What I can’t believe is, the media had largely ignored her passing! I only discovered she passed recently by a reel I saw on instagram! It’s unbelievable they would ignore this legends passing. Melanie was one of only three woman to headline at Woodstock! Those three woman were Janis Joplin, Joan Baez and Melanie! She was not only a great artist but also a pioneer for woman in Rock and Roll! RIP Melanie! You are missed, but your spirit remains with the richness of your music you left behind!

    Love Melanie
    This song makes me cry for the Palestinian people being slaughter by Israel and supported by our government
    Such a sad time for humanity
