I need to know the full name of a female american singer. In the 70's
she was a mature woman, and had long, straight and light-coloured
hair. In one of her songs she sings to her mum : "Look what they've
done to my song."

The artist (one of the favorites of the flower children) was popularly
known as Melanie, and her full name is Melanie Safka.

You can see her photo here:
