"Brand New Key" is a #pop song written and sung by American #folkMusic singer #Melanie. Initially a track of Melanie's album #GatherMe, produced by Melanie's husband Peter Schekeryk, it was known also as "The Rollerskate Song" due to its chorus. It was her greatest success, scoring No. 1 on the #Billboard #Hot100 singles chart during December 1971 and January 1972. Billboard ranked it as the #No9SongOf1972. It also scored No. 1 in #Canada and #Australia.

Checking out an album released by the late #Melanie from 2010, "Ever since you Never Heard of me." Apparently, she had a 32nd album in progress. Wow! I got introduced to more of her music in 1990, when someone was kind enough to record some albums of hers for me. Way much more to her than "Brand New Key." One of my favorites was "Ring the Living Bell."
