Melanie — Madrugada
This was the one that started it, my first Melanie record. I bought it at some point in 2019, running across it in the bins somewhere, and being in both a ’70s mood and...

As I’ve already said, my experience with Melanie, other than the few hits she had on the radio in the ’70s, is entirely within the context of the pandemic, having picked up nearly all...
