Melanie LIVE -- Interview (Love it): 90s and she sings about war, the troops, her feelings... that she poured into "We Stand By You":

So much packed in here, although as she pointed out and I already knew and could relate to: She was never 'a hippie,' but 'a flower child,' and the youngest performer at Woodstock; she was 18 and went with her mother, although her mother wasn't allowed to continue on with her as she was not a band or a manager, and stayed in the hotel found for them.

She is, and is recognized by many--including by being given many awards--as one of the pioneering singers on par with Judy Collins, Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell.
