RIP Melanie Safka
If she didn't do anything else in her life, this would have been enough.
But she did go on to write other songs, Brand New Key, Look What They've Done to My Song, etc.
I've also edited this to include other things she had done in her life - she was a spokeperson for UNICEF and founded Neighborhood Records - the first independent female-owned record company.
A life well-lived.
"And hey, baby, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind"
"I came across this clip recently but sadly it had no audio so I tried reading Melanie's lips but to no avail, I couldn't figure out what it was.
So I rang my friend reynardinerob and asked him to have a look and lo and behold he cracked it and so I was able to dub it with some sounds!" - Sky Vibes
