The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
Last week, we had the New Seekers performing a song by Melanie, "What Have They Done To My Song Ma". This week, we start it off with Melanie herself with "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)" with the Edwin Hawkins Singers performing live in the Netherlands in 1970.
From Wikipedia:
Melanie Anne Safka-Schekeryk (born February 3, 1947), professionally known as Melanie or Melanie Safka, is an American singer-songwriter. She is best known for the 1971–72 global hit "Brand New Key"," plus her version of "Ruby Tuesday" which was originally written and recorded by the Rolling Stones, her composition "What Have They Done to My Song Ma", and her 1970 international breakthrough hit "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" (inspired by her experience of performing at the 1969 Woodstock music festival).
