Sad, she was a proper hippy/freak who went her own way and refused to be pushed around.

that brand new key song is a masterpiece. and she said she wrote it in just a little while, like half an hour.

I also enjoyed The Wurzels version

Does anyone else remember her singing

Somebody loves me
I wonder who
Who the one could be worries me.
...
...
.
Maybe it's you.


And all the audience would call out, 'We love you, Melanie"

Oh. That's upsetting.
I always thought it was her song, but I just found out it was actually written by George Gershwin.

Nevertheless, she sang it with more feeling than Doris Day
