    Just got word that Melanie passed away. My sister Gloria used to play this song over and over back in the 70's. Gloria passed away last year from cancer at 67. Rest in peace Gloria... rest in peace Melanie. Melanie did not need all the computers that today's "singers" need. Pure real voice!!

    My sister,15 years between us, (her older) LOVED Melanie . She married when I was 8 . I was devastated . She came to me at her Wedding reception and told me shed left me something on my bed. It was her Melanie Records. She died a couple of years later. NOBODY could sing like Melanie ,but I hear my Sis ,nearly 50 years later ,every time. Thanks Melanie , im owe you one girl xx

    Up until i heard of Melanie Safka's death, i only knew of the Rolling Stones version. Although the Rolling Stones version is good,
    i actually very much enjoyed this version. She was much more talented then some remembering her for "Brand New Key". Of course, people who followed her throughout her career most likely already knew this. I love this version. I just want to keep playing it.
    Thank you Melanie for sharing your talents and yourself in this world. May you rest in peace.

      Something to trash about RS/Mick's perf? For me, he's generally impeccable, compelling beyond words on ballads like Wild Horses.I don't need to knock anyone to savor Melanie. Her recorded verses on this are sublime too IMO, yet the choruses chaotic, like she got different producers.

All these years later and I am now an old man at 60 and still think she is a beautiful woman inside and out. I don't know her personally but from what I gather by her singing, stories and demeanor she is a lovely soul. When she sings her voice brings me peace. I cannot say that about too many singers. Melanie. Joni Mitchell. Thank you Melanie, for the years of pleasure you have given me with yout voice and art. I still have my original copy of Stoneground Words on Vinyl.

    We just don't have these kinds of singers anymore. Girl power in the 60's and 70's!!! I loved Melanie and her unique voice. When I'm down, these songs bring me back up. I could crawl back into this era easily.

    This is the way to make a song your own. I know life has not always treated you right Melanie,but you are leaving a legacy of such intensely powerful performances like this that people like me can only be thankful to have been breathing the same air as such a genuine artist.

    Melanie always blows me away! You can both see and feel her emotional energy. She is one of the most talented and beautiful natural vocalists that I have ever heard and that says a lot from this old madman.

    I can’t express how much I love her version of this song. My dad played it for me and after that I had it on repeat with my earbuds in and eyes closed.

    Candles in the rain was an iconic album when I was a student in 1969, I'm 71 now and still love this track. Saw Melanie and her son at the opera house Buxton a few years ago she's still terrific.

    I was a teen, years ago, when while listening Melanie's voice i was going...i don't know where. Falling in love with life, with her, with music, with everything. As a radio producer i never stopped playing her songs often and i will never do. I am grateful. Not only for your songs but also for the solid dignity you brought as a public figure.

    I just missed Woodstock 😭...I wasn't in my teens yet....but I loved and still LOVE that eras music. 🦋
    I still sing the Rollerskate song....A LOT!
    I get it stuck in my head and be at work singing like I'm in another realm in time.
    You'd be surprised at the young folks that love these songs as well.

      More than a cover I think this is like a new song “based” on the older one … please note that she eliminated the minor chord …plays only in major chords ,making it stronger,less “nerdy”😬
