Every time I hear a different version of " Lay Down". It touch's my soul, I love all of your music, a beautiful lady with beautiful Voice and eyes ✌️❣️
This is a great clip. It shows your confidence, positive outlook and come-what-may philosophy. At least, that's what I got from it. Thanks, Melanie, for being a part of the soundtrack of my life.
I love how you welcome everyone into your conversation when you are being interviewed. I would love to have a conversation with you at your next show when we get out of this COVID crap.
I'm 64 and these videos bring back such wonderful memories! I have always loved voice! Even my grandkids listen to you now! A real humble down to earth person with an amazing underrated talent and voice!
I returned from Vietnam and some friends took me to a concert and Melanie was one of the acts. I think she sang Going to Carolina and I was in love. She did a couple other songs, but I was so into her that I don't remember what they were. Seeing this interview confirms that I'm in love. I'm not a fan of this type of music. Strictly Rock and Roll but she just captured my heart. She is just so real.
unfortunately we have garbage performing hip hop and rap in the hall and not deserving talent like Styx, REO speedwagon and Kansas. Since the "old school" guy who started it all retired the younger voters in charge were not alive when the quality music of the 70's was blowing us all away. Melanie was not really rock and roll either but maybe there should be a seperate category for her and Linda Rondstat etc. Love you Mel and RIP
back then you had people who had music that meant something, and music that people made because they knew they could get good money for it, and now you still have people who make music that means something and music that people make because they know they can get good money for it. nothing ever changes or has ever changed in that aspact. there is just now more music you can easily listen too, so you might have to put in more work to find the better music.
60, 70s, and 80s had awesome music. Today there is still great music however it simply doesn't chart. It's still out there but you must go hunting for it.
Wow your right... love Melanie..saw her in 2019, with Jordie , guitar and what a voice and her son Beau on guitar , incredibly gifted on guitar n I think he played a few others, this old Brain.. looked what they did to our Brains Ma n too my sweet Melanie . She has such a spark for life !
I just recently became a Melanie fan, aside from me knowing Brand new Key, Beautiful People and Look what they've Done, i found her live performance at Woodstock where she sang Birthday of The Sun, she sat on a folding chair two microphones as it poured rain, the stage lighting revealed the water droplets on her Guitar. The thunderous applause after she walked off with her Guitar gave me a chill. This clip from the Mike Douglas Show in 1978 is amazing, she had matured and she was then married with two small children. The times have changed, i was 13 in 1978, a young teen, and i was more in to the Disco beat, and to see her sing Knock on Wood at the Academy of Music was so cool. I remember when that song was out, it was a Disco dance hit. Melanie made it her own. I absolutely love this lady! I know an old family friend who worked at the Academy of Music for years, i just thought I'd run this clip by her, she remembers that show that Melanie did at the Academy, the Knock on Wood was her just cutting out with her band after they performed. Thanks for posting this.
@@Beatle849 watch her on the Carson show from 1972. She talks about her first appearance ten years prior. Last I checked there wasn’t a minimum age to be on a tv show.
El gran Tony Bennett se ve tímido a un lado de Melanie... fantástico... cuanta alegría y cuanta vida proyecta Melanie... La amo desde siempre, y amo su musica....... Por cierto, mi hija menor se llama Melanie...
(Translation: The great Tony Bennett is shy next to Melanie ... fantastic ... how much joy and how much life Melanie projects ... I love her forever, and I love her music ....... By the way, my daughter Younger is called Melanie ...) @Fernando Quiros ...Muchas gracias, y me siento honrado de que hayas nombrado a tu hija Melanie por mí! Amor de Melanie (Translation: Thank you much, and I am honoured that you named your daughter after me! Love from Melanie)
Love you Melanie, you're music will live on through the years. I still occasionally hum them to myself. Thank you for entertaining me and everyone else through the years. I would love to see you in concert, but in the meantime I'll settle for watching you on TH-cam!
Oooh...time travel... Never watched TV back then. i don't know people on stage with Melanie, but so good that they all seemed relaxed with all different kinds of clothes - white socks to suits. 2018 people in state where I'm stuck seem to be basic carbon copy of each other in their attire. Boring. Life seemed more free back then. Has the world become yuppified? It has certainly become over populated with the greedy. Great that Melanie is still singing.
When I was growing up I wanted to be Melanie or Peggy Lipton; or Audrey Hepburn from breakfast at Tiffany's; I am a pioneer woman too; and am proud that I was cool enough to know the coolest hippest people ; and try to help to look my best: try to make a difference: so I can buy another house for my kids to hang out: and if they ever have kids nonnie will have a nursery! Then trips to Europe to meet the rest of our family! Am continuing to keep standing waling and yoga. Then some ice elevation and cream. Then no going downstairs for any reason. I have to push a little but without overdoing it as I often too, it's my time to shine ONCE AGAIN!
this was when Tony Bennett had to make face around the other crooners. he has learned a lot since then in comparison to him and lady gaga. age will do that to ya.
@@MelaniesafkaTheRealMelanie as we enter 2021..all best wishes to you from the UK ...and by the way ...if you had painted a stone for everytime I listened to one of your songs ..well you could have filled in the Grand Canyon! God Bless God's only Daughter.
Poised. Adult. Charming. Shame that it wasn’t more successful. Very underrated because of all her ‘cute’ stuff. Rest in peace.
OMG I miss her.....lovely, lovely lady, and her music was fantastic! She came from the Golden Age of music!
This carried me away. I was a kid then and now I'm 70..., look what they've done to us all, Ma !
She is so charming, honest and humble.
So sad that she is so underrated.
Her voice is gold.
totally agree with you, Andres
Charming, Cute, and a Gentle Sweet Spirit Wind. Knock me down with a feather.
AMEN
c est une vrai artiste !
Every time I hear a different version of " Lay Down". It touch's my soul, I love all of your music, a beautiful lady with beautiful Voice and eyes ✌️❣️
I will always love Melanie. RIP sweet girl.
Just heard she's passed away at 76. Rest in peace Melanie. You were wonderful.
This is a great clip. It shows your confidence, positive outlook and come-what-may philosophy. At least, that's what I got from it. Thanks, Melanie, for being a part of the soundtrack of my life.
Why do I always smile when I see her talk and sing!!!???? She makes my soul happy!!!
because she is smiling at us ❤️
You’re so funny and cute ! I mean that with respect cute in the way I mean I like you and I don’t like anyone
I love how you welcome everyone into your conversation when you are being interviewed. I would love to have a conversation with you at your next show when we get out of this COVID crap.
Boy, she sure can belt out a tune!
I'm 64 and these videos bring back such wonderful memories! I have always loved voice! Even my grandkids listen to you now! A real humble down to earth person with an amazing underrated talent and voice!
Are you sure that is what happened... It sounds like "fake news" to me.
I returned from Vietnam and some friends took me to a concert and Melanie was one of the acts. I think she sang Going to Carolina and I was in love. She did a couple other songs, but I was so into her that I don't remember what they were. Seeing this interview confirms that I'm in love. I'm not a fan of this type of music. Strictly Rock and Roll but she just captured my heart. She is just so real.
All those moments. If we could only know how precious they would be...
I saw her perform live, just once. Unforgettable! RIP, sweet lady!
must have made MA very proud
such a great singer performer
definitely should be in Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame
unfortunately we have garbage performing hip hop and rap in the hall and not deserving talent like Styx, REO speedwagon and Kansas.

Unfortunately this underrated singer and beautiful soul left us, but her songs will live on forever.
Great video clip!!! Phenomenal! Poor Mike, doesn't look like he has a rhythmic bone in his body and Tony looks spell bound. Love this.
The studio audience was clapping on the beat.....(Always love that)
She blew those old guys away!!!
She is darling.
Woman... You are Amazing!!!
well done Melanie - great performer - lots of love
Nostalgia draws me back to this, she is fabulous
I have been a fan of Melanie for decades. My favorite hippie songbird!
Ditto!
And people asked me why i wanted to grow up in the 70s bc there music ment something
back then you had people who had music that meant something, and music that people made because they knew they could get good money for it, and now you still have people who make music that means something and music that people make because they know they can get good money for it. nothing ever changes or has ever changed in that aspact. there is just now more music you can easily listen too, so you might have to put in more work to find the better music.
60, 70s, and 80s had awesome music. Today there is still great music however it simply doesn't chart. It's still out there but you must go hunting for it.
Growing up in the 60s was even better....
@@MICKEYISLOWD The Broadcast media keep it all hidden, to keep it from taking away from their Brands, and advertisers. Corp-Orate killed America.
I remember thinking how uncool Mike Douglas was when I was younger but inretrospect he had some of the most awesome artists of the day on his show.
@2:07/ 8:20 because she's awesome 🌹 that's WHY 🌹
The doctor from The LOVE BOAT?
Love the Knock on Wood clip, tons of energy.
Love this. She speaks French well too. :)
I've been watching a lot of these old interviews, and the younger Melanie's style of speaking reminds me of another Melanie, Melanie Griffith.
Wow your right... love Melanie..saw her in 2019, with Jordie , guitar and what a voice and her son Beau on guitar , incredibly gifted on guitar n I think he played a few others, this old Brain.. looked what they did to our Brains Ma n too my sweet Melanie . She has such a spark for life !
I love this song. And the more I watch this video I'm convinced of one thing .....that Tony Bennett asked her out for a glass of wine after the show
How can you watch and hear her and not feel the love.

Lol a sweet flower girl 😂
Love you then love you now, grand-ma.
She as great and still is.
Little Hippy Girl
She was on Carson in 1962, not sure why she says her career began at Woodstock
She would have been 15 in 1962. You have wrong date.

So beautiful😍
At 5:23, when she starts singing, it's like OMG! That voice! Incredible.
You’re still Making me cry! I love this and your songs voice music

"I care less what people think of me now." Why?" "I don't KNOW!"
Love you Melanie, you're music will live on through the years. I still occasionally hum them to myself. Thank you for entertaining me and everyone else through the years. I would love to see you in concert, but in the meantime I'll settle for watching you on TH-cam!
Love you - Melanie :)
Last time I saw Melanie was at the Happy Together Tour in Denver awhile back....still sound great, always my favorite....Peace
What a fun interview! Loved the live version of "Look what they've done to my song." You killed it Melanie! 🤩🎉
That's Bernie on the left!!! "THIS IS KAOS. VEE DON'T SHHHHHTTTTK HERE!"
Glad somebody else caught him there.
One in a million.
A friend wanted Stevie Nicks. I said okay. Melanie is fine.
That was wonderful!! Love every minute of it...
Used to love watching Mike Douglas, alright Melanie getting down ✌
Melanie's great. She's said the French verse is the only French she can speak. But I bet she know's more French.
@taorob3 . . . oui, mais rien qu'un peu... :)
@@MelaniesafkaTheRealMelanie un peu, c'est DÉJÀ suffisant pour nous impressionner et nous marquer à vie. Merci en tous les cas...

Stupid questions.
Oh my.. This is sweet. I love how Mr Bennett just gets out of the way. Kudos to a real class act.

Wasn’t she British in 71?
@greysonthecat No, I was a New Yorker, but had been spending quite a lot of time in England, and some of the accent rubbed off on me for a while.
@@MelaniesafkaTheRealMelanie as we enter 2021..all best wishes to you from the UK ...and by the way ...if you had painted a stone for everytime I listened to one of your songs ..well you could have filled in the Grand Canyon! God Bless God's only Daughter.
