Melanie On Air BBC Live in Concert is a collection of live recordings of Melanie Safka, an American singer-songwriter who has been largely overlooked in music history.
In the late 1960s she was quite a big star and performed at both Woodstock and the famous British equivalent, the 1970 Isle of Wight festival. For more details see Wikipedia.
