I grew up in the 70s listening to Zepplin and Aerosmith. Im now admitting that i missed so much when it came to music. I remember this song. I now appreciate what a talent Melissa is. Wow this girl can sing. Pretty too!
An absolutely beautiful song sung by a beautiful and phenomenally talented singer. It’s one of those songs that completely captures the 70’s. I was 9 when this song came out. It still gives me chills.
This is the first that I have seen this video, I didn't realize how young she was at the time that she put out this song. She should of had more hit songs than she had, she had a good voice and was a nice looking gal too.
I think this is one of the great pop songs of all time. This song has tragic roots, as it is, metaphorically, about young 14 year old boy (Peter Allen) whose father committed suicide. His mother told him to 'put on a brave face.' Yet, it is so important in life not to be phony, but real. I have found real healing in Christ, Who died on a Cross so that I could see the restoration of all things in the next life; no tears allowed as they will be obsolete! Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
A great clip...thanks for uploading it. I love that Melissa rarely lipped synced thru the years. Even tough songs like this one...she performed live. She is an amazing talent.
Whos here in 2023? One of my favorite songs when i was a kid❤!!!!!! Born in 74, heard it in my elementary school loved It❤❤❤ and just heard it again in Oct 14th, 2023😊 and it brought me back to those amazing days! She was such a GREAT singer!!❤❤❤
Melissa is a fabulous singer. Beautiful phrasing and such a powerful voice. I don't know of any singers today who could match this kind of moving live performance.
Best live version of this record I've seen to date. God she outclasses so many other singers - gives 110% of herself in EVERY detail - the phrasing, control, etc - but she also has warmth which in my opinion sets her apart from contemporaries she's often compared with. This makes her alot easier to listen to than Barbra Streisand or some others that I think are overrated (with no disrespect intended - not a dissing of her ability, just personal preference). Loved this so much.
Totally agree. I listened to Shirley Basseys version (who was offered this song first I believe) and to me this performance is far superior..and I adore Shirley Bassey.
Absolutely incredible performance from one of the best vocalists ever. Every time I hear this, I tear up. No need for pitch correction here…just pure raw and trained talent. There haven’t been many female vocalists since Melissa that can come anywhere near her.
Have you seen the trash performers deck themselves out in on stage today? Auto tuned, lip synced, fakery? This woman wrote and performed her own songs and her voice was pure gold.
As funny as this was on Schitt's Creek, I'm glad it introduced me to this song, never heard this one! She's a pretty amazing singer! Tip: the audio to this for some reason won't work on your phone. It did when I casted it to my TV.
The songs of feelings and delicacy has a kind of Melissa Manchester...1978 our titile song "Ice castles" a movie...through the eyes of love...'Don 't cry out loud surokttae...on the record' 'don' music video on the precious materials, t cry out loud ' listening to you. thank you ^^
Is this weird or what...when I was around 12-14 years old (1980-1982) I would sleep with the radio on and I would wake up every night around 3-4am and this song would be playing.
Well you're not weird I did the same thing I was about 15 years old when this song came out it's still a good song it'll always be one of my favorites!
I am so low; this song(of which I've the original Arista 45-but, don't feel up to rifling boxes)sprang, to mind-at 3am. I came out, to the 'puter and, wow...there it was. I hadn't heard it in, oh, twenty years. No-not, going to "Happy Endings" but, she had a fabulous "B-side" to one, of her songs-going to try to remember its title then, find it. P.S., she's singing, live!
I simply wonder who talked her into that HAIR back then???? Betcha even OLD DEMENTIA Boy wouldn't even SNIFF that???? NO gets me wrong, have always LOVED Melissa!!!!
Not a knock on Melissa, but I can’t help but think Whitney Houston would have knocked this out - Clive Davis had to of tried an arrangement with her...
+Jack Priest Damn.......& here I thought you were going to say "I'm here because of my parents taking the time & responsibility to expose me to the classics"!!!!!
Imagine if they sang with Heart and Soul like this today, the world would be in a better place.
Extraordinary.
Nowadays, nobody sings like this ...
Yes you're right this is back when they made good music!
This seems like a sad and tragic song. We were raised to hide our feelings and now we deal with healing and recovery because of it.
Oh- I've loved you for such a long time. 1974? 1975? Since my mid-teens. Thank you for everything.
That's really belting out a tune.
I grew up in the 70s listening to Zepplin and Aerosmith. Im now admitting that i missed so much when it came to music. I remember this song. I now appreciate what a talent Melissa is. Wow this girl can sing. Pretty too!
She can sang. This song brings me to tears.
Yes I catch myself crying when I hear the song also that's back when they made good music! Good song.
It's more and more hard to find a good talented singer and music like hers.
Talent like that is extremely rare
Yes you said the truth there that was back when they saying good music!
This is one of songs that made me a fan for life!
I could listen to this over and over. She is the best. Love you Mielissa!

@user-zw5jj2we1h Yes, I agree. Gaga is pretty damn good, too.
A timeless classic.
I never get tired listening to this classic song ❤️
I get chills when she sings this song
Loved this song since childhood ❤️

You can’t really tell from this version can you? lol
If you like this version you should listen to Elkie Brookes singing it 😊
Totally agree. I listened to Shirley Basseys version (who was offered this song first I believe) and to me this performance is far superior..and I adore Shirley Bassey.
My 6th grade graduation song 1978..wtf happened to all the years
Really?@@vivienllewellyn6802
So powerful and moving! She puts her whole heart and soul into it.
Just as powerful and meaningful as when I first heard it when I was 14
Gorgeous lady belting out an anthemic song!!!
Absolutely incredible performance from one of the best vocalists ever. Every time I hear this, I tear up. No need for pitch correction here…just pure raw and trained talent. There haven’t been many female vocalists since Melissa that can come anywhere near her.
Amazing voice !!!
Just beautiful 👍🏻💕🎶
Must've been cold on that stage. (Brrrrrrrr) Great performance by the way, great classic.
I noticed that too :)
She should’ve worn a bra, especially for tv but them was the times of free!
So true. @@swk_83

Couldn't agree more @@kimquinn7728

I remember that performance. Dick Clark's Live Wednesday. Excellent!
one of my fave female singers along with Angela Bofill, they have powerful voices
Love her...love this song. And actually the best version of this ive heard!
Uplifting song. Beautiful
How many here in 2025 consider this Kamal's Swan Song?
Timeless perfection

She, barry manilow and bette midler used to be together touring. Barry was the pianist for bette, melissa was bette's background singer.
Fantastic !!!
Melissa just does this song right!
She's got a beautiful voice. Still like that song she did from the Ice Castles movie
HAPPY 66TH BIRTHDAY MELISSA MANCHESTER (FEBRUARY 15, 2017)
If you haven't seen the movie drop dead gorgeous you have absolutely no idea the genius level of joke this song is used for and its amazing
She sang this so good, ya didn’t even need any harmonies
Fine ballad by her.
Caraca, que perfeição! Melhor ainda do que em estúdio.
I'm not sure if this was intended to be a "serious" song or a campy, unintentionally funny song. For me it's the latter, and I love it, lolol.
So love this song. Use to lovr to singing it at karaoke♥️
This is an inspiring song.
Awesome
Melissa extraordinaria cantante, me fascina. Saludos desde México
Bravo!! Bravo!! Bravo!!!🥰
Best horrible advice song ever! Cracks me up every time. Great voice.
When I hear this it reminds me of Whitney Houston singing Didn't we almost have it all .
momma Paula took me here.
Great voice
she is right up there with Joni & Barbra
Joni Mitchell and Barbra Streisand you are very right!
perfeito
The 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' movie from back in the late 90s 😆😆😆
Song written by Peter Allen and Carole Bayer Sager.

lol schitts creek skit ,hilarious !
Very underrated singer. Amazing voice
What happened to the sound? Nothing is understood. This song is so special, so beautiful. Could the channel solve this problem? Thank you very much.
Wow, it's easy to forget how overblown everything got in the '70s.
LOL ... Remember the pants ...?
Lovelyv
If only family guy had enough money for this 😂
anybody know where this performance is from and the year?
merecia muito mais acessos
RIP peter allen
Roland's Theme
❤
Is it me or the audio quality sucked? It won't work on Loudspeaker or headset
Didn't know this one,thought it was just Elkie Brooks who sung it
Melissa Manchester - Don't Cry Out Loud 힛트 송
I prefer her version over Elkie Brooks any day
I preferred Elkie's. Not so keen on this in comparison.
@MsLoopyLoops this is the definitive version....so there's that. No comparison.
Damm, when the sound engineer is even better than the singer.
Amazing voice. Tragic hair.
Is someone else that can't hear this video clear in the cellphone?
Yes I think it's a live version!
I think she may have been influenced by Bette Midler. Nice, open voice!
What is this from?
He-man
The American Music Awards would be a good guess. Dick Clark created the awards show and hosted it.
Oh, oh record copy rights lowered the the volume or indistinguishable!!
Bonnie's cooking brought me here.
Who else is here because of "HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA?"
Not a knock on Melissa, but I can’t help but think Whitney Houston would have knocked this out - Clive Davis had to of tried an arrangement with her...
Your not wrong, Dionne Warwick too!
@@DeeNice681 yes, @S Tress, but this was about 10 years before Whitney hit the scene. Of course, she'd kill it too.
im here because of '' Drop dead georgeous "
+Jack Priest Damn.......& here I thought you were going to say "I'm here because of my parents taking the time & responsibility to expose me to the classics"!!!!!
ahahahahahahaha yeah my mom loves this song
This sounded so weird on my phone
What's up with the sound?? I can't hear a damn thing!
Yes I totally agree I couldn't hear it very well neither I guess I was crying out too loud! Good song.
The audience looked dead lol
they dont cheer out loud
❤
