This signed sheet music is for Ruby Tuesday by Melanie, autographed by the acclaimed singer-songwriter Melanie Safka. Originally written and recorded by The Rolling Stones in 1967, Ruby Tuesday became one of their most iconic ballads, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1970, Melanie reinterpreted the song on her album Candles in the Rain, delivering a version that highlighted her expressive, haunting vocals and folk sensibility. Her cover stripped away some of the psychedelic polish of the Stones’ version, replacing it with a raw, intimate style that resonated with fans during the height of the folk-rock movement. Melanie’s interpretation not only earned critical praise but also introduced the classic song to a new audience. Melanie Safka (1947–2024), known simply as Melanie, rose to fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s with her powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting. A highlight of her career was performing at the 1969 Woodstock Festival, which solidified her place in the counterculture movement. She went on to achieve worldwide success with hits such as Brand New Key, Lay Down (Candles in the Rain), and What Have They Done to My Song Ma. Blending folk, pop, and a distinctively personal style, Melanie became a beloved figure of her generation, known for her authenticity and emotional connection to her music. Owning this signed sheet music for Ruby Tuesday represents not only a reinterpretation of a Rolling Stones classic but also Melanie’s unique artistry as one of the great voices of the folk-rock era. For collectors of 1960s and 1970s music memorabilia, fans of Woodstock-era performers, and admirers of timeless covers, this is a historically meaningful and musically rich artifact.
