- From the November 4, 1970 episode of the Johnny Cash Show. It's a terrific song and a stellar performance, but the audio is A.F.U. If anybody has the technical acumen to take the background buzz off the original file, drop me a line.

Unbelievably powerful song from one of popular musics' most talented performers!
I get goosebumps everytime I hear her woice...
This was the first time I saw Melanie perform - I was 12 and hooked for life!
That was my first time I saw her and I was hooked for life. I was 14.
I cannot listen to her music without tearing up.....beautiful words, beautiful voice.
Me too. She deserves much more recognition. Great singer and a better song writer.
This a great song that has slipped under the radar. Thank goodness for TH-cam, allowing us to bask in "Peace Will Come".
She was out there putting her heart & soul into her performance. A rarity.
no one in the history of music will ever touch her she is truly one of a kind patent and hall marked with the most powerful instrumental voice that this planet has ever heard or seen
what a fantastic show ! I'd like to have same now !! Johnny Cash was so nice with his guets and Melanie is so talented
I friggin love youtube! Melanie is one of my favorite artists. and if it wasn't for YT I never would have seen this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking me back to a happier time
As watching and listening --This is --up lifting..........Thank You....
Outstanding ... ♥
Oh Melanie... I love you. Love and blessings
Melanie WAS big back in her day. She played Woodstock. Brand New Key went to # 1 for three weeks. She was the first female singer to have three top 40 hits concurrently. She was voted Billboard's #1 top female vocalist in 1972. Her albums went gold. She took a break at the peak of her career and I don't think it was an accident. I don't think she wanted to become too big.
it's not just her in genuis beyond one of a kind voice. it's her music as well. her comopositions to man kind .i don't think, rather i know no one on this planet or others has written more songs then the genuis melanie safka.it's so amazing how many of her songs were used in movies, commercials,etc and still continue to this very day . i don't think she's famous she's beyond famous. oh not to mention how many of her songs became hits . how many other singers have tried to cover her songs,cheers
brilliant the one and only high priestess !queen of music
I totally agree with you!
The very best Melanie song.
a genuis!
I first saw her at the original woodstock.
Still in shock they left her out of the DVD,
she will always be the high priestess to mankind.No one could change that!
Awesome!
I was minus 12 when this show was aired, but remember it like it was yesterday!
awesome
@muskratrowdy I agree with you on that one.Melanie Safka definitely wanted the public to hear and enjoy her music,but obviously not at the expense of her essence as both an artist and human being.
Her sweet and beautiful looks belie her manic crazy singing
john cash knew a good thing when he saw it
Supercalafraglistickxpealadochus
what a super talent this girl is.
and she was super good looking
I have decided that I will have this song in my funeral.
I completely agree. In 1970 she had Lay Down (Candle in the Rain) which peaked at #6, and this song which peaked at #32, and she was a gigantic voice for peace and love. And yet she is never never EVER played on the oldies stations. Maybe it's because they are owned by the superwealthy who don't want any songs that could possibly wake people up. For instance, they never play Eve of Destruction, Dylan's anti war music, or Joan Baez's anti war music.
@muskratrowdy
I always wondered why she was not more famous. I hope it's true that it was by her own choice. She is truly remarkable, a one-of-a-kind performer.
Very unique voice, forceful, lively, natural, and faintly quivering.
So before her time....
she's amazing, wonder why we didn't give her the kudos she deserved back in her day? maybe she was ahead of her time. the only songs I really remembered from then as being great were 'Lay Down', and 'Brand new roller skates' course, I was like 10 y.o.
@serpentorch Hey, sorry it took so long to find it. I just went in and expanded the tags. Back when I uploaded this, I had no idea what I was doing. Do me a favor, if you find a cleaner copy will you pass it along to me?
Thanks

Only Melanie had her Token Wail!!! I mean no one else sounds like her. No one ever sounded like her, and no one will ever sound like her again.
person below or above she was beyond big in her day are you kidding me she put aside the beatles jefferson airplane strship etc from that era she was named the high priestess the first flower child hippie who are you kidding? female singer of the year 1971 it gioes on and on singers trying to sound like her oh my god it goes on and on
I remember that she was not well liked by the music critics in the day.What the hell did they know?
She looks better with hair I think but less powerful...abviously. She shares a split in the lower lip with Sinead O'Connor.
Talk about a wake up song ,check out Bruce Cockburn...if I had a rocket launcher
...yes it's a shame :(
sinead o connor ish no maybe
She got kudos then. The problem, imho, is that she isn't getting kudos now. Her songs are played in movies and TV shows and commercials. They've been recorded by everyone from Ray Charles to the Hilltop Hoods. But, I think the industry still sees her as this flower child hippie chick, and it's hurt her.
An induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be nice, but they haven't inducted Joan Baez .... yet. What's the chance of Melanie being inducted when Joan Baez hasn't been? Not likely.
what are you talking about person above melanie always had hair how do you compare the high priestess woodstock legend to a person like sinead O'connor no one touches melanie safka Sinead O'connor wasn't even born when melanie was the high priestess who are you kidding .melanie is beyond a genuis
Is it just me or the video thats getting deliberatly fucked up...mmmm...?
According to plan. She is overlapping Sinead O'Connor.
