Although your comment is three years old, it is especially up-to-date in Europe these days with the war between Russia and Ukraine. Let's remember, Melanie's forefathers were from Ukraine.
As someone commented here six years ago, "If only we could heed our poets and ignore our politicians." As true now as it was 60 years ago. Or 600 years ago. Godspeed Melanie. Sing with the angels.
Cried my eyes out just now watching my lovely Melanie. I have no doubt God said to her “ I needed your unique voice here and I couldn’t wait any longer “ Goodbye Ruby Melanie!!! ❤
Melanie is not only a skilled performer, but a wondrous Spirit. She has helped many a questioning Soul from the generation of Boomers, as we wrestled with the issues of Authority, Compromise, and Sharing. We are indeed Blessed to have her amongst us, as we pass through this fleeting lifetime.
What a beautiful voice, it stirs me just as it did 50 years ago. I am so glad I still have had her albums sitting on my shelf for my lifetime, and there they will remain till I can hear her no longer...
OMG. She is still a beautiful old woman. I love her so much. I roller skated to her song. I looked at what they'd done to her song. I watched her old self play with Miley. She has a beautiful soul. Yes I was alive when this was new. I'm very very lucky. I have gray hair like her.
I've been trying to think of something profound and meaningful to say concerning Melanie's passing, but the right words just will not come. So, I will simply say Melanie, I love you and your sweet, beautiful voice. Rest in Peace.
I have always loved Melanie Safka!! I will never forget the special birthday concert she did in my hometown in FEBRUARY of 2000!! We met her and chatted with her and her son and daughter, who were both singing with her!!! What a magical time!!
Melanie's wonderful voice, eh? It takes you places. And this song, a personal favourite, hits me in the shivery feels - every single time. Beyond splendid!
The early '70's were a conflicted time. I was there. We hated the time. Things were bad then. But the music was beautiful. I have the joy of painting over bright orange paint from that era in my bathroom hall.

Wow, 70s kid here, my first partners dad produced the stones song of that name. Rip Melanie, Jimmy Miller and Michael, my partner. All beautiful people.
Some weeks ago some youngsters passed our house with their bluetooth speakers like every day/ weekend. Normally they listen to terrible hip hip or rap music, but that day they listened to Melanie' s "Ruby Tuesday". I couldn't believe my ears!!! :-)
Ich liebe diese einmalige Stimme, die Frau ist Spitze, Melanie haben wir alle geliebt und verehrt. Einmalig gut, nicht zu übertreffen, Danke Melanie !!! PS. Dazu ist Melanie eine wunderschöne Frau.
OH.MY.GOD. That´s great. Natural charme, great voice, lyrics with message. Thanks for being young before computer took over. But wonderful quality - computer :)

I remember in high school seeing her beautiful photo on a song sheet and falling in love with her on the spot before I kinda lost my mind and my way. I think this song is what the world needs as a Comet looms in the sky and the lions of the world are looking for another sheep to devour. I love her again...forever! Her and Jewel. She must be the daughter of Jesus Himself. And I'm glad to be her brother. She is Jesus. and I"m HIs messenger. HElp us Lord to save the world. How can love die? How can peace die? The Lord said, "all who follow Me..." Who value life and live in peace shall rise again. Anyone who hears this song no longer has an excuse not to be real. --Herald I love you Melanie and I'm sorry to have missed you. The world hid you from us because the world was not worthy of you. And because the world feared you. As they should fear God. Have mercy on us Lord, for all we have done in the shadows...

RIP dear, sweet Melanie! I’m here after just learning of your passing. Thanks for your gift. Your music and light shall always be with us.❤
A huge loss
Huge loss loved her singing
😥😥😥😥😥😥
Oh no 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Love to her and her family
A singer with a moral compass, a message and a heart of gold. RIP.
💛
Melanie has now found peace according to plan.
RIP Melanie, you are singing with the angels in Heaven now.
If only we could learn to listen to our poets, and ignore our politicians.
Your comment really hit me in the heart, so true.
Although your comment is three years old, it is especially up-to-date in Europe these days with the war between Russia and Ukraine. Let's remember, Melanie's forefathers were from Ukraine.
Ojh yes! They who give us so much, while our polticians give us nothing but stress
Hallelujah
Listen to mothers and ignore the red-eyed old men.
As someone commented here six years ago, "If only we could heed our poets and ignore our politicians." As true now as it was 60 years ago. Or 600 years ago. Godspeed Melanie. Sing with the angels.
The embodiment of the 60's counter culture. You left us on Tuesday 23 January 2024 , Goodbye Ruby Tuesday.
Yes, "you done alright for a girl." Rest in peace, sweet Melanie. Your songs are part of my life.
She did alright, period.
Im crying,it is so hard now in 2024 in the world,please people learn!
Who did you vote for, little buddy? Dark Brandon? 🙄🤦♀️
I'm crying too😢... Always, with this track x
❤
I feel empty now ,She was one if not my favourite singer ,I named my daughter after and play her music often,Namaste you sweet thing🙏
I loved her also 😢🙏🏻
Cried my eyes out just now watching my lovely Melanie. I have no doubt God said to her “ I needed your unique voice here and I couldn’t wait any longer “ Goodbye Ruby Melanie!!! ❤
Melanie is not only a skilled performer, but a wondrous Spirit. She has helped many a questioning Soul from the generation of Boomers, as we wrestled with the issues of Authority, Compromise, and Sharing. We are indeed Blessed to have her amongst us, as we pass through this fleeting lifetime.
Well said. She was the gentle and kind side of the counter culture.
Rest in peace Melanie. Your spirit and Music shall continue to nourish our souls and pray for peace. ❤ Love.
✌️🙏
The first time I heard her sing this song, I felt as if I was in Heaven. And now she is. Rest in Peace Melanie. Thank you.
What a beautiful voice, it stirs me just as it did 50 years ago. I am so glad I still have had her albums sitting on my shelf for my lifetime, and there they will remain till I can hear her no longer...
Alas We are still waiting for Peace Melanie, so long sweet soul & thanks for the beautiful music & those smiles.
You create war with your words & thoughts. There is peace where I live. 🕊 ☮️ ✌️
How this wonderful singer passed me by until now is beyond me.
"The Lord keeps her just the way she is;" "according to plan"
Omg what a great voice
Had all your records and listened and cried… you and your music, so beautiful
Your legacy will live on, dear Melanie
I played this song on my record player in 70’s. It should be on the radios again. We need peace ☮️perfect voice as always. ❤️🎤🎼.
Perfection and peace ☮️
Her voice has always had a strong presence in my life, even if I didn't follow her career... RIP Melanie.

Beautiful words of optimism expressed

Such a sweet soul with a powerful message not just throughout her songs, but throughout her life. RIP Melanie
Melanie what a very special person with a voice of a angel. Rest In Peace 🙏🎶
OMG. She is still a beautiful old woman. I love her so much. I roller skated to her song. I looked at what they'd done to her song. I watched her old self play with Miley. She has a beautiful soul. Yes I was alive when this was new. I'm very very lucky. I have gray hair like her.
Missing you already Melanie Safka! Keep those roller skates gliding through Heaven. ❤
I've been trying to think of something profound and meaningful to say concerning Melanie's passing, but the right words just will not come. So, I will simply say Melanie, I love you and your sweet, beautiful voice. Rest in Peace.
She brought joy. And for someone who didn't claim to be a political activist, she sure was a great political activist. Vale Melanie.
I have always loved Melanie Safka!! I will never forget the special birthday concert she did in my hometown in FEBRUARY of 2000!! We met her and chatted with her and her son and daughter, who were both singing with her!!! What a magical time!!
Eine schöne Persönlichkeit mit schöner lauter Stimme! Sie wird fehlen.
Melanie's wonderful voice, eh? It takes you places. And this song, a personal favourite, hits me in the shivery feels - every single time. Beyond splendid!
OMG! So beautiful performance. Sometimes I think I was born at the wrong time.
The early '70's were a conflicted time. I was there. We hated the time. Things were bad then. But the music was beautiful. I have the joy of painting over bright orange paint from that era in my bathroom hall.
Time has circled back around.
Dear Jonesamorim51, Melanie, Z"L Rest In Play In Perpetuity Throughout the Universe is there when the rules of time and space (or place) no longer feel like they obtain. Check out the extended version posted here at U. of Tube from her PHOTOGRAPH album of her track "Groundhog's Day...."

That and Melanie's live sing-a-long with the audience at Carnegie Hall of her song "Psychotherapy" as a necessary bit of Theater of the Absurd when times or space call for more than a touch of appreciation for the Absurd.....
Health and balance
