Different styles for different days,my friend.
Sinead came to public eye,much later than Melanie. That is how beautiful woman looked in the ’60 into early ’70s.
The music of both,were of equal message & meaning and that is what really counts. Right?

@KabbyNeil Considering that the Moody Blues and Steppenwolf aren’t in the Hall of Shame maybe being not being there is a bigger honor.

Footnote to what I just posted. I heard Melanie on a radio show a while back. She was at Woodstock 1969 and she was just a kid with her Mom there. Anyway, she wrote ‘Lay Down, Candles In The Rain’, (if I remember the story right), on her way back home from Woodstock 1969. Just thought that I would share that with you all.

Love this song!! Love Melanie Safka, her music is just so great. I have never seen her in concert but would love to before God calls me home. We’ll see. Love Candles In The Rain too. She is the best, and unfortunately, the least remembered from the 1960′s. Everyone keep her music alive and keep her music going. And do what you can to get her in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.

I became a fan as a teenager in the early 80′s after hearing Candles in the Rain for the first time. Listening to this takes me back. To me, this song is quintessential Melanie. Her deep passion and love for what she did(does) shows through in every note she sings. She is a true original and, I feel, underrated. Thank you for posting. I hope that through postings like this one more people can hear Melanie.

I think that I liked Sinead O’Connor’s photos better. But, then, she made more of an effort to look more whatever. There is a similarity in singing styles in the Peace song. It leaned more towards Sinead…rite?

RedMangoFromPhuket – Of course people realise. She was famous in the 60s til the record conglomerates took over.
