    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.

    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?

    this was No 3 on the French charts in April 1969.

    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!

    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.

      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.
