Melanie

Following the February 14 premiere of Melanie's score to the unproduced musical Ace o' Diamonds, Cleopatra presents the singer-songwriter's Return to Carnegie.  This 2-CD set captures her 1978 concert at Carnegie Hall in which she was backed by a full band including the Brecker Brothers on horns.  Songs include "What Have They Done to My Song, Ma," "Beautiful People," "Ruby Tuesday," and Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager's "I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love."  Dave Thompson provides the new liner notes.
