Melanie - from a rainy night at Woodstock was born an icon of an era. But even before that transcendent moment of candles and song, there was a birth of a different kind - a lifelong passion and partnership between a brilliant record producer named Peter Schekeryk, and a shy folk singer from Queens, Melanie Safka.

Together, they would forge a life and career, always struggling to find the balance between success and authenticity.

Come on a journey with Melanie, as she shares both the challenges and the soaring heights of a passionate life in pursuit of eloquence, music and love.
