    I've been a fan for over 50 years and there are no artists today who can write a song and perform it and hold the audience on every note and verse like Melanie She was part of a generation of songwriters who questioned what was and asked what could be. Clean and pure and real for the past 50 years and forever

    Something spiritual about her voice that rings with an honesty and truth, like the honesty and truth you feel when early Bob Dylan songs would sing you a word-story. She feels so invested in her song that I never doubt her and I listen with respect. And when she opens her mouth wide in her almost yelling passion, I believe.

      I have always felt she was the female equivalent of Bob Dylan. I was so happy reading your text. God bless Melanie.

    Beautiful girl with insane talent. People who really know music, especially of this era know how amazing Melanie was. She could sing Happy Birthday and it would stir something in your soul. One of the very best of all time. There have been very few artists that pack the emotion into their vocals that she does. Writes, plays, sings...does it all and does it very well. What a passionate and soulful performer.

    Melanie, Wonderful stuff! My favorites from you, that is--those which have *definitely* struck a 'chord', are Lay Down (Candles in the Rain) and Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma. The rendition of Lay Down from the Netherlands TV performance with the Edwin Hawkins Singers certainly gives chills...just sayin' :) Thanks for the music, memories and love!

    Accurate Lyrics for this Version of "Tuning My Guitar" starting at 0:13 going until 3:49
    I'm thinking what I'm doing; I'm thinking what I've done; I'm thinking about my mother, who never thought I'd come quite, this far from nowhere, to hear myself be sung, but I still haven't forgotten, I used to do it just for fun.
    When all the ones around me, would wonder if they saw or heard me singing somewhere, tuning my guitar.
    Knock once, I got ten minutes, and every night's the same sometimes I wish, I wasn't in it, when I hear them call my name, same people, all around me and I wonder who they are, I know, they're not my family, and they're not my friends, by far.
    They're all the ones around me who don't know who they are. They hide behind my curtain and they hope I'll be a star.
    And they say, "Get out and sell them!", but selling's not my aim; I'm gonna sing, the life I'm living, and try to ease the pain.
    Of all the ones around me, who wonder who they are, they hide, and they look uncertain, and they hope I'll be a star and all the ones around me, no matter who you are, tonight you're gonna hold the curtain, I'm tuning my guitar and all the ones, all around me, I DON"T CARE WHO YOU ARE, tonight you're gonna hold the curtain,
    I'M TUNING MY GUITAR.
    ALL THE ONES.
    ALL THE ONES.
    ALL AROUND ME.
    WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
    TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING TO HOLD THE CURTAIN, I'M TUNING MY GUITAR.

    Wow, just wow! I don't think I ever saw that performance before. What a blessing to be able to see shows, videos, performances from around the world some of which were never shown on American TV. Bobby Sherman came to my junior high gym and performed in 1967 or 68 I think lol. What was that show, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers? But the real star in this video was Melanie! I love that voice and how she really sings her heart out each and every time. There was only a minute of Tina Turner, but it was a beautiful minute! Thanks so much for posting these Melanie, they're all really wonderful!
