I loved Melanie when I was 14. "Brand New Key," "Beautiful People," "Candle in the Rain," and my favorite: her version of "Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers."
I even sang "Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma" as my audition song for the Broadway production of The Me Nobody Knows.
The casting director handed me back my resume with my 8 x 10 stapled on the back and said, "Look, I don't want to waste any more of your time. Or MINE."
