 MELANIE - Record Collector
Her voice was a far cry from the pure tones of her contemporaries, and the soul-baring on her best material is more akin to John Lennon than to Carole King or Joni Mitchell.
For some, '«She is to the Seventies what Dylan was to the Sixties"; others, like NME's Roy Carr, regarded her as "a Marjorie Proops with a guitar".
While an excellent, if erratic tunesmith, Melanie's real strength was her particularly distinctive vocal warble but as with Bolan, this tended to polarise audiences.

Marjorie Proops got a fond send-off on Monday, at her memorial service at St Bride's, the journalists' church off Fleet Street.
Although, as Canon Oates, the St Bride's vicar, pointed out, La Proops herself would have preferred to be memorialised "in the bagel bar next door", the little church resounded with deeply non-churchy hymns ("My Way", "Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye", "Unforgettable") and equally un-sacerdotal sentiments.
First, Anne Robinson, the Points of View lady with the hyperactive wink, read out one of Marje's Daily Mirror columns, from 1993.

ABRAM Games, who was born in the East end of London in 1914 and died in 1996, was one of the greatest poster artists of the 20th century and there is now a chance to see his work in Glasgow School of Art.
His father ran a photographic studio which, in the 1930s, was struggling financially so Abram thought he should contribute to the family finances and applied for a job (encouraged by a friend who became Fleet Street's legendary Marjorie Proops) in a commercial art studio.
Asked to produce some lettering to show what he could do, Abram's submission was a mess.

 THE PLANNED DESTRUCTION OF THE WHITE RACE Part 3.
Although most of the newspapers in this country are on the face of it predominately Anglo-Saxon in ownership, Jews still exert a considerable influence over the material they publish, chiefly in the editorial sector.
Much of the material is written by Jews such as Bernard Levin (Times), John Pilger (Sun), Karen Mayor (Evening News), Max Hastings (Evening Standard), John Akass (Sun), Milton Shulman (Standard and Express), Marjorie Proops (Mirror), Claire Rayner (Sun).
The worldwide syndicated agony columnists Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren (Dear Abby) are in fact two Jewish sisters, Esther and Pauline Friedman.
