RIP Melanie, One of the Great Folk Pop Singers of the 60s and Early 70s, Dies at Age 76, Had a Hit with “Brand New Key,” and Wrote Coke’s Most Famous Ad Song
Melanie Safka has died at age 76. Melanie went by just her first name. She had a huge hit with “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain}” but her breakthrough song was “Brand New Key.” It was number 1 on and the charts for weeks. Melanie wasn’t particularly ambitious, and left the business almost as soon as she arrived. She kept recording and releasing music to fans but Melanie was not stoking the star making machine.
