I just heard the news today, and it feels sad to realise how few of my favourite musicians from that period are still alive today.
And I feel Melanie Safka is such a singer who shows why I love music from that time. We have so many talented vocalists today, both professionals and amateurs, who dominate the talent shows and social media. And anyone can record much better-sounding songs at home today than what professional sound engineers could back in the day.
But when I watch that video, what strikes me is not some impeccable vocal skills or pristine production value. It was a period when many musicians sincerely believed they could and were changing the world to be a better place with their music. Her voice is teeming with such sincerity and raw energy that can convey her genuine feelings to anyone who listens to her sing.
If she debuted today, she probably wouldn't be able to make her name known as a musician because her unsophisticated singing skills and unassuming appearance would bury her songs deep down in the sea of videos on YouTube or TikTok, all showcasing "amazing talents".
I don't intend to belittle those who have vocal skills or the technical improvements made in the music production business in the past half a century. But I can't help but think that at least some very important parts of the music we had back in Melanie's days have become all but extinct today, just like how most musicians from that period have left us one by one.

Adult performer Jessie Jane of an overdose and fetish model Masuimi Max of undetermined causes as of yet.
Really? I hadn't heard that, but I'm sorry to learn that news
She died last year. It was big news in Australia as we've adopted one of her songs as a kind of national dance

Saw her perform live about 20+ years back
I was struck by a sense of deja vu, I was about to go look it up.
Anyway, I'm still sorry she died.

Not to mention demerits for tardiness and playing hooky.
If only to make sure they're still alive
Most of the world will little note nor long remember William Post, the guy who invented these.
The EU won’t anyway, they're banned there. And full disclosure, I lost my taste for the things most of a lifetime ago. But by all accounts Bill Post was a mensch, an all around nice guy. He’s passed on at 96.
