Background notes
Archive material and source history
Melanie Safka, who performed as simply Melanie, grew up in Queens, New York. She started writing songs early, finding a way to work through a difficult childhood marked by her parents' divorce and her mother's mental illness. Her music caught a break when Peter Paul & Mary invited her to play the Newport Folk Festival in 1966.
Her performance there, including a song called 'Bobo's Party,' helped launch her career. She put out albums like 'Candles in the Rain' in 1970 and 'Gather Me' in 1971. She also recorded tracks such as 'Ol' Man River' and 'Buckle Down.'
