Lay Down, Melanie, You've Earned The Rest
Another of the greats has Passed, Melanie Safka, usually referred to as Melanie. Variety has a nice tribute, noting her major hit songs, "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)", and "Brand New Key".
I was always fond of two others as well, "Someday I'll Be A Farmer", and "Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma".
