Wow, so sad. Brand New Key came onto my Spodify today while I was working out. Seems like every day we (my generation) loses another person who was important to us growing up.
Her biggest hit but Lay Down was my favorite
Boy did I have the hots for her way back when.
BTW, although I've never had the strength to become a vegan, one of the times where I considered it was back when she released her album Leftover Wine with the classic tune "I Don't Eat Animals" on it.

She was born in New York City and died in Nashville. But I believe she lived a long time somewhere near the Jersey shore.
Just played the long version of Lay Down (Candles in the Rain). Never heard it before now:

Check out the Ozempic thread post I just made. We should make one for the dead Mom.
I saw her in Central Park where they had the Schaefer concerts every weekend for $2. So many great artists performed there every weekend. That morphed into the Dr Pepper concerts.
Thanks, no more “leader of the pack” running through my brain……….. now I have a new problem
Brand New Key. RIP Melanie. 
RIP Melanie Schekeryk
Being kept from participating your Red Bank High School class graduation ceremony because of an overdue library book didn't stop you from having success in the music field and your family life with husband (Peter Schekeryk) and 3 kids till your husband died in 2010.
As big fans of Melanie, My wife and I saw her at the Garden State Arts Center.
It was a one man show, her sitting in a chair alone with her guitar. No back up band or singers, just her.
We were so disappointed. It was not good at all.

Good vocal range. Was never displayed on Brand New Key. The chour backing was a nice touch also
Look for the Miley Cyrus backyard videos. (I can't believe I just wrote that!)
There is a great version of Look what they've done with my Song, Ma with Melanie and Miley. The third verse is done in English, not the French in the Melanie version.
First time I have ever heard Miley. Great voice. Stands up next to the amazing Melanie.
