Melanie Safka first attracted national attention when she stepped onto the stage at Woodstock...yes, the real Woodstock. The summer of '69. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, The Who and so many others...including a young, gifted singer-songwriter, simply known as Melanie. As dawn broke, and rain began to fall, she performed on a stage that transformed a generation and changed music forever. And it was here where Melanie launched a legendary career that now spans more than 40 years.
