This was the song that first got me. Couldn't believe what I was hearing. Only in France, eh, figures. Amazing woman, and yesterday we said farewell to her. 💔😢 Sing in heaven, Melanie, we love you.
Yes,I never was a very good speller.We lost this legendary performer Tuesday 01/23/2024.RIP I wish I would have met you and thanked you in person for all the years of great music.@@75cadonot
This song only charted in Europe, so this is my first time hearing it. She's fabulous as always. I developed a huge crush on Melanie around 1971, when I was in seventh grade. I don't think it's gone away.
Melanie was the most attractive female folk singer of the 60's and 70's! Those eyes, that smile...how can you watch and not get drawn into the mystique of Melanie Safka?
my absolute best favorite of all time is little bit of me and I think it speaks volumes about how to handle star demand sudden Fortune both of which I think I'm about to experience on a number of levels so I'm grateful for her lessons it is a guide for me to handle it when the time comes
Look at that crowd they're like all old folks and probably shocked lol -- I can't help but laugh. Over here in Seattle Washington at our Woodlawn Park Zoo we had a gorilla who were called Bobo and Fefe and this reminded me of them. She's having so much fun it's resonating way over here in Hawaii on the big island where most baby boomers seem to reside. Aloha everyone!
Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Boooo Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Booooo Once I bought a curious bottle. Once I bought a bottle for fun. Well, tell me, what you gonna do with the bottle? When the curiosity's done? Well I brought it out to the Bo Bo's party, then I got it in to the company, then I brought it up to the boys in the backroom, (they got the knack, to tune in on me). Then I brought it up to the boys in the backyard. I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold. I find it ha-a-a-rd to hold, I find it hard, to hold on me, I find it hard, to hold on me, I find it hard to hold, hard to hold, hard, hard to hold. Well, you know, I've been bad, but I would be good, instea-a-a-d, ah, if my man did one half of the things that he said. And I wouldn't have to go to the Bo Bo's party. I'd never have to go to the company, wouldn't ever go to the boys in the backroom, (with their knack to tune in on me), Wouldn't have to go to the boys in the backyard. I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold. I find it ha-a-a-rd to hold, I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold on me, I find it hard to hold, hard to hold, hard to hold, hard, to hold. Well, you know, I've been bad, but I would be good, instead, ah, if my man did half of the things that he said. Well I wouldn't have to go to the Bo Bo's party. I'd never go to the company, Wouldn't ever go to the boys in the backroom, (with their knack to tune in on me) and I wouldn't ever go to the boys in the backyard. I find it hard, to hold on me, I find it hard, to hold on me, I find it hard to ho-o-o-o-o-o-ld. Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Booo Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Bo-Booo
I spent 30 minutes typing the lyrics so I could sing along because this is my favorite version of this song. I'm going to try to figure out the tabs for this version of this song on my mandolin so I could play along as well. This song is powerful.
Rest in peace, Melanie. Years later, I used to call out for this when fans were shouting requests. (She never did it but she looked surprised by the request.)
, honey she still perform here and there and you know what not but damn I didn't expect all of this how many season same age as my dad he had all her albums on vinyl I had original releases and my mother sold them all in the garage sales in 1983 for $0.25 apiece I could kill her but I didn't after all she is my mother
in 1973 my mother looked damn near identical to Melanie she's 4 foot 11 same build same hair color same face it it's the resemblance is just completely uncanny all I'll have to dig up some photos to forward them to you one day

Sing in heaven, Melanie, we love you.
Love it!
The audience looks like they came from the Overlook Hotel in the Shinning.
or a Lawrence Welk show!
You made me laugh
Shinning? SHINING.

funny but true!
this was No 3 on the French charts in April 1969.
Which proves the french have always had a poor taste in music 😁

This is why we love Melanie
OMG the audience freaks me out!;!;!
They all look so serious! Lol
@@lynn2076 Different generation. Different language. Understandable.
Lol. Following a hypnotist Too funny
If I was in that crowd I don’t think anything could hold me back.
One of the best (and one of the creepiest!) Melanie song
One of my dear Melanie faves ❤️

gosh I so love this
This is such a rare treat.
I prefer her earlier songs - such richness, heart and soul.

Florence Welch was obviously inspired by you, such raw talent.

❤
The audience look like a bunch of hardline groovers...
hillarious old age audience speechless, hahahaha
I could see Samantha Fish doing a cover to this.
LIke a singing cherub come from heaven
The audience is conquered !
🙏🏼❤️🕉
So raw and aggressive. Almost punky.

@@emmabradford0137 right?
Is there more video of this concert?

Jesus I would have lost my mind and I am 27. I'm sorry dude.
I always thought Janis Ian sang "Bobo's Party ".
One of Melanie's first famous songs where she first started to gain attraction in France.
Can someone explain the lyrics to me please ? As a non-native english speakers, this is very mysterious
Mysterious to us also.
Mes 18 ans.... C'etait pas mal....Mais las spectateurs semblent un peu coinces
