When I was a young man living in England there was a series of "In Concert" TV programmes broadcast with singer / songwriters of the day including Neil Young, Cat Stevens, Joni Mitchell and of course Melanie Safka. This particular short "concert" was recorded in London on 14/7/1971 and broadcast 8/1/1972. I remember being mesmerised by Melanie's performance, and its power has not diminished over the intervening years, although sadly the "peace and love" message, so prominent in Melanie's lyrics, never really got much further than 1971, we all hoped it would after the short lived "halcyon" years of hope from 1967 - 1970. As Joni Mitchell sang in 1972 on California " Sitting in a park in Paris, France, Reading the news and it sure looks bad,
They won't give peace a chance, That was just a dream some of us had .... ". I've remastered this as best I can from the original tape I had - I hope you enjoy it. Peace!

Just heard of Melanie's death. She meant so much to me, and her words are still so relevant today. She really was one of the beautiful people.

i, too, remember Melanie. i remember coming home from Vietnam, still a boy, exhausted with the sorrow, the hopelessness of years i had not yet lived, weighing on my soul. No one understood the burden i carried for the acts of a humanity i had seen spiral into madness during the war. But then, there wuz music. The poetry of lyrics that still held hope --- even for me who seemed to have lost it somewhere in those dark jungles. iyam here, today, because i found just enough light in the music and words of poets like Melanie, to try one more day. "They" can only destroy you if you allow them to. i found that understanding via the deep diving music of late 60's, and the early 70's. --Thankx Melanie

Once in awhile God slips into this world a real prophetess singer. Melanie was just that. Light a candle for peace and pray for another like her to come.

Artists like Melanie kept me from putting up with the destructive absurdity of militarism and from ever being seduced by war and the foul odors of patriotic nationalism. I have always thanked God for folk music. Across the world folk music of all kinds has done more good than almost anything I can image.

Melanie's talent is unique, and her childlike charisma assured her successful career. Gotta love a famous musician who (it seems) wanted to make a mark, rather than seeking stardom.

How good was Melanie???!! Beyond Excellent. I only regret I had lost touch with her music the last half century. This was my loss. Sad that it took her passing for me to rediscover her. The time just flew by. God bless her memory. What an incredible legacy she's left us. And she was part of my mother's musical legacy to me, because it was my mother who "discovered" her on WNEW FM in 1968. Beautiful people.

As a four year old I first heard Melanie singing "Ruby Tuesday" thanks to my older sister playing the single. Ever since Melanie's beautiful voice has been a source of bliss and comfort for me. Love you forever 💔💔💔😢

It warms me inside to see so many people feel the way I do about this fabulous performer. She might not be the biggest name, but certainly among the biggest talents. Sad for the loss, but glad for the opportunity to revisit the lady and her songs.
