I just went out and performed where they were booked. I'm in an entirely different universe as far as what needs to be done. Of course I don't have a PR company and in fact my husband, who was my manager, producer of all my records and partner and father of our children, passed away a few years ago. I stopped for the period it took for me to have children.

There are months when I don't perform and there are months when I go out on tour. Of course there's universities and everywhere there's students, it's always a nice place to live because there's new ideas and thoughts and fresh energy.Ī - I'm pretty active. East Nashville is like the new Village, the Greenwich Village of Nashville. A lot of people from my end of Pop music live here, not that I'm a hanger-outer much, but I do know this, there's all sorts of music happening in Nashville. It's quite honestly a bit too Los Angeles for me. Isn't that a place for Country singers and songwriters?Ī - You would imagine, but of course things have changed.

Q - Melanie, you now make your home in Nashville. She is best known for her songs "Brand New Key", "Ruby Tuesday" (a remake of the Rolling Stones' song), "What Have They Done To My Song Ma" and "Lay Down (Candles In The Rain). She was chosen as Billboard's Number One Top Female Vocalist (award) for 1972. She performed at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. She performed at the original Woodstock in 1969.
