- In the second half of her oral history, Melanie Safka discusses how politics have changed over time, performing at Woodstock, and the politics of art. She talks about raising children while touring, ageism in the music industry, and the rough parts of her life. Safka recounts her favorite collaborations over the course of her career. She returns to the topic of how poorly record labels treat artists and how this treatment has impacted her life. The interview concludes with her thoughts on her role in music history, the visibility of women in rock, what she is most proud of, and her most recent projects.
Melanie Safka is a singer-songwriter and guitarist. Best known for her hit songs “Brand New Key”, “What Have They Done To My Song Ma”, and international hit “Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)”, Safka was one of three women in the original Woodstock line up. She has committed her life to art and promoting peace, performing at the UN and fundraising for UNICEF.

The Women of Rock Oral History Project is a collection of digital interviews and written transcripts, housed at the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College-one of the oldest women’s history archives in the United States. Started by Tanya Pearson in December, 2014, WOROHP documents the lives and careers of women in rock whose work and careers have been underrepresented or omitted from rock journalism and historical scholarship. With a collection of publicized and accessible primary source documents, the Women of Rock Oral History Project seeks to facilitate a more comprehensive, inclusive, and accurate cultural history.

Such a fun interview. Melanie is a great storyteller, loved ❤ every minute.
I've been following this project and have enjoyed the interviews I've heard so far. This particular one was great though! As Melanie herself said, she wants people to know she's still around....and NOW we know! Thanks, Tanya.
Just heard, she just passed away. I'm so, so sad!!!!!
This was great.
Give Melanie her fucking rights to her music back, reissue all of her albums, and induct her in the fucking RNHOF already!
WELL SAID
YES! I saw article today (Sat 02/10/2024) listing the nominations for 2024 and of course Melanie NOT on the list. Assholes!
Sad to hear her anti-science/conspiracy ideation.
You need to learn the difference between proven science, pseudo science and complete b/s. There is a difference. There is nothing proven about these vaccinations, but gender has long been established by biology. Your faith is not in science, your faith in the propaganda being pushed by media, politicians and pharmaceutical sales hype,
@@unkabudd1114 🤣🤣🤣
I think maybe more with GMO's in foods. I'm sure if she was ask about real science probably different comment....
