Who did the original of 'Ruby Tuesday?' I am guessing it was not The Rod.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Rollink Stones, wasn't it? According to everyhit, someone called 'Melanie' also had a hit with it in 1970.

melanie! became a singer bcz she auditioned for a play but WENT INTO THE WRONG OFFICE!

"accepted as the darling of the contemporary peace'n'love movement, the champion of the spiritually undernourished", sez the NME book of rock rather sarcastically

Is this the same Melanie of "Brand New Key" fame?

[jeff-worrell.livejournal.com]

It is indeed. I love "Brand New Key" but otherwise Melanie's voice is kryptonite to me.

Ooh, that reminds me, the Wurzels re-released "I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester" last week as the bonus track on their "I Am A Cider Drinker 2007" collab with Tony Blackburn!

*tumbleweeds*

I'll get me coat.

Try in vain to follow my train of thought

*gasps* Melanie was grebt! I have got 'Brand New Key' running through my head now. Thank you in a very unironic way.

Plus, she (probably) inspired the Wurzels by accident, surely she gets points for that?
