Thanks for sharing the history of that great song, Louise. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were a big influence on me when I was growing up, and they performed at Woodstock too.
And THEY had some wonderful music! Will have to add another of their songs to my To-Do list. Hmm, how about "They Want It All" or "What are their Names"?
I hadn’t heard the news of Melanie’s passing. She was a big influence on me musically over the years and I liked to cover her songs. Candles and the rain is one of my favorites. Thank you to her for her contribution and Thank you for sharing Stephen’s tribute too.
As do I, Susie. There are some good songs written today, too, but my playlist is primarily 60s-80s. My mother said her generation’s music, 40s-50s, was the best, so everyone probably feels the same. Thank you for your comments! ☮️✌🏽

I don't know those ones. Here are two I really like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8LYOyqJE7k and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3RAEu0OTcE
Yes, both wonderful songs!

My pleasure, Genki. Stephen's tribute was sweet. She really helped him through a hard time in his life. I'd love to hear you play Candles one day!
I didn't know she had moved on either - thanks for sharing, Louise. It was nice to reminisce..
A lovely tribute Louise, Melanie accompanied me on a good part of my world travels back in the late eighties…
I guess I’ve always been a hippy at heart, I still lean towards the singers and song writers of that era before anything more modern… 🕊️

Lovely tribute to Melanie and the open-hearted news of that era!
Thanks for the comment, Kathy. Does this song bring back memories for you, too?
