Born Melanie Safka, raised in Queens, New York, her vagabond journey as a musician began in Greenwich Village in the late 1960s. In 1969, she was helicoptered on to the stage at Woodstock festival.  "I just thought it was a weekend of singing. I pictured families with picnic blankets, and arts and crafts. I had no idea! I walked into the lobby and there was Janis Joplin.” Aged 22, Melanie had never seen a famous person before. “I thought, ‘I can’t do this. I don’t have any hit records, nobody knows who I am.’ I had no musicians with me, no roadie – I even brought my mom!”  Of course she became an overnight sensation.  After Woodstock she continued to make music, had a number of hits, was covered by the likes of  Nina Simone, the New Seekers, Mott the Hoople and Morrissey.  Many artists made their own versions of Ms. Safka’s songs, including Miley Cyrus, Nina Simone, the New Seekers, Mott the Hoople and Morrissey.
