Ik las net een artikeltje dat Melanie in Vlissingen een Collings-gitaar had gekocht bij een gitaarbouwer die een winkeltje ongeveer tegenover het toenmalige theater heeft. Winkeltje is er nog steeds!
We were lucky that a few years ago we could attend a concert by Melanie in Maaseik Belgium, together with her son Beau Jarred. Her voice was still the same as the one we knew from the '70s. An unforgettable anecdote was what she told about her performance at Woodstock as a 21-year-old. She was very nervous beforehand to perform in front of half a million people and was therefore very relieved when it started to rain. She assumed that half of the audience would leave and it would be a little less exciting for her. However………no one left and she ended up giving a great concert for those 500,000 people. Melanie thank you for all those beautiful songs!
She was 22 at Woodstock (birth Feb. 3, 1947. Woodstock Music and Art Fair, the actual name of it, on Aug. 15-18, 1969 at Bethel, NY). She missed her 77th birthday by only 11 days (Jan. 23, 2024). No cause of death was given. R.I.P.
Omg... My mom showed me this song a few days ago, and I just love it! I'm 14, and Im really thankful to my mom for showing this masterpiece to me. This is way better than most recent songs. I'm speechless. This song feels really emocional. And its so unique! I'm sad I wasn't alive in this era... Really really sad.
I’m so glad your mom shared this song with you especially during these difficult times we are living in. Talk to your mom about the way things were back when this music was popular. You’re not the only person who wishes to have lived back then. Peace
I'm forty, but I've known this song since I was a child because it was on a tape of my parents' favourite songs that they recorded before we emigrated. This was another on the same tape: ua-cam.com/video/9c49aDWrzeA/v-deo.html
Hello beautiful people...if you're listening to this right now, I am too. So we have something in common, right? We love this beautiful song, sung by the most beautiful of the beautiful people...that's a start. Hope you have a beautiful Christmas wherever you are, hope you have a warm place to sleep, warm food to eat, someone to love you. Tc beautiful people and keep safe...
My very first favorite in music. I was 13 and started collecting her LP's. I also saw her perform several times here in the Netherlands. Beautiful people was a big hit only in the Netherlands. Her first succes was here. Ray Charles covered her " Look What They Have Done To My Song, Ma". I will miss her. Bye Beautiful Melanie!
ya ya ya, I don't how to say, but the feeling kinda like.. well you know, we were connect each other even we never meet before, we look up and just feel the same feeling as you do, love, love and hope for a better world. And tought my story about get the new seeker records for this album, it just like unexpected moment, cause last time I feel like lonely, spend my time with a classic book, my life changing by, thinking the universe, then bought this record and found a beautiful meanings inside, and well never feel lonely anymore, love & respect from Indonesia

I heard her at Woodstock late at night. Couldn't really see her cuz it looked like she was a mile away but, she sang this song. Rest in Peace, Melanie. ✌️
I rememter her first concert in Amsterdam. Not much public and a bad microphone. She invited her audience on the floor and in front of the hall. Some things that happens, you never forget! Great concert! :)
Melanie is the most beautiful of the beautiful people. We need more of this music in these times of manufactured division. Thank you, Melanie for spreading peace, joy and love.
OMG young lady! I was 14 yrs old when I first heard I was 14 yrs old! I'm 66 yrs old today and I still cry with pure JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Pass it on to everyone you know!
😢 What a beautiful performance of a timeless classic. Watching through tears and remembering see this beautiful gal in various venues for nearly 50 years.
R.I.P Melanie. You touched so many hearts with this beautiful song. I'm 72 now and have to admit today was the first time I really listened to every word you sang. Beautiful message that lasts for ever and ever. Thanks so much
I’ve just found out Melanie died a few days ago & this has been one of my fav songs for years so I’m just sitting here listening to this while a tear rolls down my cheek,Thankyou Melanie for this beautiful song may you rest & fly with the angels ❤️
We need this now more than ever in this world of hate. Dedicated to all of the beautiful people who treat each other with dignity and respect not fear and what’s in it for me. ❤
This is how I sell Melanie 50 years ago. Sitting alone on stage on a simple chair with her Acoustic guitar Singing to a coffee house crowd, Being just plain beautiful.❤
I first heard your voice 55 years ago and I was really touched. 1.5 years ago I was there when you were performing in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, with your son Beau. Your signed picture has a prominent place in my living. You'll live on in my heart and I made sure you will be heard at my funeral with 'Close to it all'.
me too!I think it was in "66 that i first saw Melanie when she appeared on "Brad Davis" the local hartford ct, pop tv show. Melanie, barefooted, sang this song! I've loveland admired her ever since.
Melanie so beautiful, I went to school with Leighla,you gave us a personal concert Brand new key!! I’ll never forget you,and your beautiful family…RIP 😢
those times will come again...soon / because of the pandemic..things are changing for the better,,,NOW just wait+ see... love + light to all sentient beings....(beautiful people)
I've heard this song many times before, I grew up listening to Melanie and I was named after her but I only just realised how profound this song really is.
Blessings to all of you Beautiful people! Remember to smile to the next stranger you meet they might be having a bad day and your smile may just shine a little light into their life.
Epona TwoSpiritHorse Beautiful song, beautiful girl, and beautiful message. And you are so right, just a smile or a kind word might completely change someone's day. We all get busy and caught up in our own thoughts, especially when everyone has a headset on and barely notices the next guy, so it's more important than ever to give a smile. 😍
Amazing, takes me back to 1969 when I first saw Melanie in Bethel NY I was 13 We need to get back times when people really took care of each other instead advantage each other. Thank you Melanie for instilling this in me at such young age, it's carried me though life knowing it can be done, this was proven for three days in August of 1969
Siempre estarás en el alma de l@s que disfrutamos con alevosía tu voz y tú; tengo 68 y que suerte haber coincidido tiempo-espacio contigo beautiful MELANIE; un abrazo de LUZ para tí; desde QUITO-ECUADOR!!!
What a honey -- and unique talent. Music fans in the Phoenix, Arizona area can enjoy Melanie's extremely talented daughter, Jeordie, who routinely appears all around the state.
RIP Melanie - saw you in concert in 1974 and you asked some people to sit on the stage - i was about 4 feet away from you - beautiful person, beautiful songs, brilliant era
Melanie will always mean a lot to me and my wife........she was a beautiful person......I saw her live at the IOW way back when she was singing on that Sunday morning as the sun rose......one of the most magical moments in my life.....
I used to play my guitar and sing this song in the 1980s. I thought it was the best Anthem that I could ever sing. I sang Dust in the Wind right after.. Beautiful song gets straight to my own heart.. I could cry, but the tears don't seem to be there to shed. I have to shed something...
To find true love is such a special feeling, it is frightening when it comes suddenly. For me it is. People are beautifull and everybody needs someone to share the same vows. I really love when i learn to trust. I ❤
I can't believe it, that growing up, Brand New Key was the only song I'd ever heard from her. As I discover more of her music, she epitomizes the artist whose best work is not played on the radio.
My Shero I’m sorry you passed over.. you held my with your words and songs as a child giving me hope when there was none. See you on the flip side, my sister… 😢 Now you will have a day when all the people will gather.. celebrate your life. Shalom Sis, love you, Freedom

RIP Beautiful Melanie, you were always and will always be a Beautiful People!
Well said, remember her at
Woodstock
In memory ov Melanie Safka:
Let us light a candle for this beautiful singer.
🕯❤💔
I never got to see this beautiful lady in concert but so much wished I had.
So terribly sad that this person who sung of loving everyone ended up a right wing hater 😢
Lovely Melanie, rest in peace. You're no longer here, but your music goes on to live forever. Condolences to the family.
Herinneringen aan een tijd waarin liefde werd verkondigd. Hoe anders is het nu. Rust zacht Melanie.
❤ de tijd waar ik vaak aan terugdenk 😢

If everyone in the world listened to this song every morning then I have a feeling that the world would be a much kinder place.

They are not mutually exclusive.
Being washed by the word is a blessing.
Dichotomous thought is Linear and that is quite evil.
So lets not practice that. I love YHWH ELOHIM, and Yahshua taught
us in the book of Mathew that we don't place a light under a bowl but place it on a lamp stand to light the whole room.. We were also taught that we are the salt of the earth,
Melanie is all about light and being the salt of the earth here, so fear not .
Peace and Shalom
@@sojournsojourntraveler1203 Well said. You are a beautiful person.
How honest and pure can a song be like ? ❤
RIP Melanie, i am sure there is a nice place for you in heaven.....

I heard her at Woodstock late at night.
Couldn't really see her cuz it looked like she was a mile away but, she sang this song.
Rest in Peace, Melanie. ✌️
amazing that you were at Woodstock
@nickbigd For just about 24 hours. Then, I split.
I rememter her first concert in Amsterdam. Not much public and a bad microphone. She invited her audience on the floor and in front of the hall. Some things that happens, you never forget! Great concert! :)
Your soul still touches our ❤s. The text of this beautiful song is still valid in 2024. Thank you.
Melanie is the most beautiful of the beautiful people. We need more of this music in these times of manufactured division. Thank you, Melanie for spreading peace, joy and love.

We need this now more than ever in this world of hate. Dedicated to all of the beautiful people who treat each other with dignity and respect not fear and what’s in it for me. ❤
What a beautiful song. I hadn't heard it in years and remember loving it back in the 60s.
Melanie of my heart! I just learned that she passed away last January. Really so sad. RIP my bright star and great talent. Your friend from Greece!!💖
This is how I sell Melanie 50 years ago. Sitting alone on stage on a simple chair with her Acoustic guitar Singing to a coffee house crowd, Being just plain beautiful.❤

There was a time when some people were singing about love and were actually meaning it.
You mean bring love
those times will come again...soon / because of the pandemic..things are changing for the better,,,NOW just wait+ see... love + light to all sentient beings....(beautiful people)
But you can't have love without drugs. Those were the times.
so true, I'm seeing the meaning of what they are singing in some of the young folks coming up now
@@mustangmikep51 Nothing will change because people are cancer ..
She was a breath of fresh air...college days, women's movement, very exciting times. Thanks for the post!!

A singular talent and easily one of the most beautiful young women of the era.
RIP Melanie Thanks for the music.
Rest In Peace Melanie, you blessed kind sweet soul! Sail on.
She still is a great singer and performer. Her songs are so great and strong.
I was under 10 years of age when I first heard and loved her. 46 years later I still feel the same! Beautiful people: Melanie! Melanie! Melanie! XOXO
Such an underrated singer/song writer..........totally talented and soulful

Lucky you! 👍
Why was Janis Joplin so much bigger than her? She's much prettier and had much better pipes than Janis, no?
Remember my first love, with this song. Was present at her last performance in Belgium. RIP
The light in this world has become much dimmer😢
Thank you, Melanie, for your wonderful melodies of my youth.
R.I.P. dear Melanie, I admire, you were and remain my idol 🎵
She is a beautiful people too!
Speeks so softly , yet sings her songs so loud and "clear" !
Beautiful indeed.
Today I decided to listen to all Woodstock songs randomly and what a good choice it was. You are a beautiful person Melanie
I've heard this song many times before, I grew up listening to Melanie and I was named after her but I only just realised how profound this song really is.
Condoleances to your loved ones. I was a teen when i first heard this song, a great life lesson and a beautiful song
Still such a strong meaningful and beautiful song ✌🏼❤️
Blessings to all of you Beautiful people! Remember to smile to the next stranger you meet they might be having a bad day and your smile may just shine a little light into their life.
This video and your comment have helped me get through a very difficult day. Thank you, beautiful people!
Spread positiveness! Wish u all the best :)

We need to get back times when people really took care of each other instead advantage each other.

Thanks Melanie and RIP, you left a beautiful memory in my mind.
Always loved her, saw her in 60's, was lucky enough to have seen her in a gig!
A great singer sings a great and timeless song in a great interpretation!!!! ❤

Rest in peace Melanie. Thanks for all the great music.
I love Melanie I was very young when this song came out but I still love it. And lay down too
What a honey -- and unique talent. Music fans in the Phoenix, Arizona area can enjoy Melanie's extremely talented daughter, Jeordie, who routinely appears all around the state.
This music takes me back in time. A blessing and a curse. Great music and a trip to South East Asia. Love her music!
Ohhh the essence of the peace movement of the 60's. Flashback, so good I love this.
I just melt when I hear this early Melanie stuff it takes me to a whole different world!!!!!
a better world
RIP Melanie - saw you in concert in 1974 and you asked some people to sit on the stage - i was about 4 feet away from you - beautiful person, beautiful songs, brilliant era
Beautiful Melanie, rest in peace.
Great talent. R.I.P Melanie
Melanie will always mean a lot to me and my wife........she was a beautiful person......I saw her live at the IOW way back when she was singing on that Sunday morning as the sun rose......one of the most magical moments in my life.....
I love the trill in her voice, the way she says some words (people, little, etc). She is real and she is beautiful.
I used to play my guitar and sing this song in the 1980s. I thought it was the best Anthem that I could ever sing.
I sang Dust in the Wind right after..
Beautiful song gets straight to my own heart.. I could cry, but the tears don't seem to be there to shed. I have to shed something...
Two amazing songs. Thanks for the reminder about Dust in the Wind, adding it to my playlist now :)
To find true love is such a special feeling, it is frightening when it comes suddenly. For me it is. People are beautifull and everybody needs someone to share the same vows. I really love when i learn to trust. I ❤
She is awesome,and beautiful.
I can't believe it, that growing up, Brand New Key was the only song I'd ever heard from her. As I discover more of her music, she epitomizes the artist whose best work is not played on the radio.
Wat mooi. Beautiful Melanie. Rust zacht.
Melanie’s voice is so beautiful.
I am in tears hearing this. You are going to be so missed. Absolutely NO ONE will take your place, Melanie.❤❤😢
I loved her in 1970 and nothings changed ❤

this is as good as it gets love you forever Melanie!!!

ya ya ya, I don't know how to say, but the feeling kinda like.. well you know, we were connect each other even we never meet before, we look up and just feel the same feeling as you do, love, love and hope for a better world. And tought my story about get the new seeker records for this album, it just like unexpected moment, cause last time I feel like lonely, spend my time with a classic book, my life changing by, thinking the universe, then bought this record and found a beautiful meanings inside, and well never feel lonely anymore, love & respect from Indonesia

She is so beautiful in appearance and in Heart, many people think she is gone.
How can this be ever possible. Nobody can Ever disappear.
truly a lyrical genius!!!!
Got lots of her albums & every time I see her,she makes me smile
Still my favorite music. Thank you for posting!
