Melanie's best album ("Photograph") went unnoticed. Shame on Atlantic Records for not promoting it.

I couldn't agree more! Atlantic have an extremely unfortunate tendency to do that with their best artists and albums. By the way fyi this is actually the version of Cyclone from her "Selected Hits" album. I used Photograph album image because that's the album the song was first on. This version is more true to Melanie's style though and it's personally my favourite version.

This IS what great American songwriting is all about. "Cyclone" demonstrates such a brilliant understanding of what it takes to explain one's life in song. Melanie endures as one of life's most accomplished artists. This song and this collection of songs, PHOTOGRAPH, proves it. Atlantic Records was asleep at the switch for not putting their muscle behind this release. Brilliant!
