I thought Melanie was the most beautiful thing id ever saw .I was about 10 . Well shes aged like a fine wine ,still beautiful ,still got the voice ,deeper ,but richer . This womans what we call in Scotland ,a classy lassie . Thanks Melanie ,and keep it going lass . xx
💯 Correct! You articulated that rather well! It's an admirable trait that Miley possess, she always shows her admiration, apprecoation and respect for the artists she performs with!
Great collaboration, i had only knew three songs by Melanie, Lay Down, Brand new Key and Look What they Done, when i found her live at Woodstock performance of Birthday of The Sun, i was blown away, i found endless appearances that she made on talk shows like The Tonight Show and Mike Douglas. What a voice, now i find this with Miley, i have to say i now look a Miley in a new light. Keep on performing Melanie, bring your light and brighten up these dark times we are living in.
Mark Conti Miley does a great cover of Jolene- Dolly Parton too. Her main stream make up doesn’t speak of her true spirit of music growing up with Billy Ray as her dad.
Miley such a beautiful performance with Melanie. We have since lost her but we have her music to enjoy abd this wonderful duet that you did with her. Thank you Miley. RIP Melanie
Rest in Peace -- Melanie -------- I saw you in concert in central Park, New York --- with Arlo Gutrhie -------- you were wearing a white fringe 2 piece outfit ------- I loved the outfit so much ------- I went to the Village and found a store called ( Black and White) and saved up my money and bought the same outfit ( in black) --------- that was in 1967 ------- I still have that outfit today -- at age 75) -------- thank you for the music and them memorys!!!-------------- The Brand New Key song was my favorite!!!
That is an amazing story! Your outfit should be in a museum curation! Can't find anything made like that, anymore. Seeing Melanie and Arlo in CP wow that's a lifetime, right there in one night! Thanks for sharing the story! (63 here so I was riding the next wave lol). ☮️
Totally underrated artist, sang her heart out in the rain at Woodstock. This is a brilliant duet. RIP Melanie. I can't stop listening to this over the past two days. I like Miley's throaty voice.
@@ronnieherd9247 I wouldn't necessarily say "wasted". I'm not into most of what she does, but a lot of people are, and she does it well. And it's awesome that she's into more than just contemporary mainstream pop, and does stuff that you and I can appreciate, and does it so bloody well. Miley is just fine by me.
My best friend Gary turned me on to Melanie when we were in high school and he would play her music on his guitar all the time. Today Gary and Melanie are drinking some leftover wine together in heaven hitting all the right chords. Melanie - Melanie - so so underrated! You have been compared to being the female version of Bob Dylan. Rest in peace! I am so saddened by your passing.
Oh my, I just heard this sad news. I saw Miley and Melanie's backyard performance several years ago and was so thrilled with it that I went back and found all the Melanie songs I grew up with and loved so much. I'm truly sorry to hear that Melanie passed. She brought such joy to so many of us. She had a beautiful voice, was an amazing songwriter, and seemed to almost glow with a goodness that I always looked up to as the true hippie chick. Rest in peace Melanie. You will be loved forever and missed greatly. Now Beautiful People is calling me and I've Got A Brand New Pair of Roller skates is whizzing through my brain right now! Love you always Melanie 🕊💐🕊
Was fortunate to watch Melanie walk into our high school with hippy clothes and her guitar across her back. She sat close to me during study hall. She really stood out and was always smiling.
R.I.P. Melanie. I was so fortunate to have met you in person and interview you a couple of times on my radio show. When I was a young girl, you inspired me to pick up and play the guitar and sing your songs. You were an unusual and wonderful human being. Your songs will be in my heart forever!! Thank you!
As people and voices get older, things change. What a wonderful surprise to hear that Melanie's voice has actually improved with age. The two of them sound so good together!
My uncle was born in 54 and was placed in a mental facility at age 12 by my grandma. He was given electro shock treatment to "fix" his brain for being gay. He was a zombie for weeks after that... My grandma never forgave herself for sending him there. My uncle beat the odds and ended up being very successful, incredibly intelligent, and one of my heroes. He just passed away this year and this song reminds me of him, hank you for this song
Fifty-two years ago, on a Friday night during a light rainfall, I had what I can only describe as a religious experience during Melanie's performance at the Woodstock Festival. I was fifteen and not on any drugs. I'm sure that I was not the only one. A half-a-million people there and you could hear a pin drop that night.There was no rowdiness or people screaming during performances. .Melanie, if you ever come across this: Thank You.
What a wonderful experience seeing you two perform together. Miley was excellent and Melanie was just like back in the day...a fresh, strong voice full of emotion. I didn't know Melanie had passed and it makes me very sad. I hope you get another brand new pair of roller skates and someone shows up with the keys wherever you are. Thank you for the good memories Melanie. ❤❤❤
@@johnalberts8332 It seems Melanie didn't get as much recognition as she deserved. Perhaps it was the times but too many people never knew about her, including those with whom I share a year of birth (1954). I still have the vinyl LP with all her favourites. 😊
RIP you beautiful person from little old me in England who loved your music and now at 74 years old I look back at all the joy you brought me in my life God bless and keep you close 😢😢
Fantastic... the old & the new Generation... this is the Spirit from Woodstock. Thx Melanie for the fantastic Voice & songs. R.I.P. GOOD BYE.....🎧🎤🎼🎶🎵🎻
RIP Melanie, a beautiful soul taken too soon. Love and light to all of your family. Thank you for sharing this amazing Goddess with the world. Blessed be.
Miley, I love how you show respect to older performers. You clearly have done your research . Your two voices blend perfectly! Please keep up that great work, let’s not forget those who paved the way. Rest in Peace, Melanie, thanks for the music! ❤
I am so heartbroken today. I remember listening to Melanie's songs on the radio back when I was a kid. Melanie was part of the fabric that made up my childhood. A brilliant songwriter and singer...she definitely made her mark in this world. You will be missed, Melanie. RIP sweet angel.
I was born in 65 and grew up listening to Melanie in early 70’s with my dad. Such a beautiful, talented artist and so very happy to see her still performing and enjoying herself with all her soul and talent. This is what life is all about! What a treat to see Miley perform with you… fantastic chemistry and obviously a great duo for their love of music and sharing with us for our entertainment!!! Keep it up beautiful girls ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My mom named me after Melanie in the 70’s.❤️ I’ll be 50 in July. I love that fact that i was named after very talented female musician!! I think it’s bad ass!! ✌🏻❤🎶🎸🎤🎵
Same here. When I bought 'Affectionately Melanie' in '1969 I felt SO grown up and 'Beautiful People' is still one of my all-time favourites. I have quite a few albums!
Such a warm uplifting video. Miley and Melanie have a beautiful, natural rapport here, a joy to see. I remember my Mum singing along with the original song on the radio when I was very young. Thanks for sharing. So sad to hear of Melanie's recent passing. Such a natural talent. Big voice, big heart, beautiful gentle soul. God speed Melanie RIP and thanks for all the peace and love you've shared with all of us.
RIP Melanie -- I've always loved your music. You brought happiness and joy to many, and for that I thank you. Go sing with the angels now, because you've been one for years here on earth.
Melanie's (Lay Down) Candles in the Rain, has ALWAYS moved me. "To be there is to remember. So lay it down again, Lay it down. Lay it down. Lay it down again. Men can live as brothers. Candles in the Rain".
Melanie I haven't hear this song in 40 years...but immediately it brought me back to my innocent youth...the joys and emotion music brings...i cried a bit.
That takes me back a bit! When Melanie's songs first came out they were completely different to everything else that was going down and very, very compelling. "Lay down" is still one of my favourite songs ever after all these years.
Amen, brother. Lay Down is a timeless ode to the best in us, if we'd only live up to it's ambition. Alas, songs like this have been so forgotten, glad to see Miley has a sense of history.
I have been a fan of Cyrus for years. Not her later image but as a kid. Now, she's getting back to that. The combo of these 2 women is just amazing. Thank you and RIP Melanie
@@davidjme Different generations and backgrounds. Melanie was a great singer and unique and Miley although not the best singer perhaps (it is difficult and unfair to rate an artist), but she is also a very good performer in her own style and she has evolved for better in time, which is commendable for an artist.
First concert I ever attended and what a beautiful start to a lifetime love of good music. Melanie was an original, authentic soul. I will play her songs on the school bus tomorrow as a gift to a new generation.
I fell in love with Lay Down when it came out; I was 12. I was moved to tears and felt this song to the depths of my being🩵 I still cry when I hear it as I sing at the top of my lungs.... thank you for sharing your passion to create meaningful music that moves the heart, mind, body and spirit❣️ peace and blessing🙏🩵🕊
This was one of the first songs I learned as a kid. We sang it in a talent show. A group of African-American kids chose this because we LOVED it. Got a huge hand from our audience. Great moment to remember from my childhood. Thank you, Melanie. ❤✌
RIP My heartfelt sympathies to her familly. Her voice was phenomenal and totally underrated! Very sad to hear of Melanie's passing. Hope she did not suffer.
My dad named me after Melanie an i really enjoying listening to her sing , brings a smile to my face an i think about my dad , he passed away last year an i miss him so much
Melanie., look what they've done to my song, is for me a national anthem..with the roller skate song and lay down lay down lay it all down. Of this video may I say Miley you sang this song with depth understanding of how Melanie wrote it to be sung in absolute meaningful clarity. Thank You Melanie ❤ Thank You Miley ❤
I've just learned she's passed away and now I'm crying. Really glad Miley uses her popularity with the younger crowds makes such great artists from previous generations (who built the foundation for artists today) Relevant again 💖
I grew up listening to Melanie , and my daughter grew up with Miley, ( she loves them both actually) but when I saw this tonight it made my whole night s thousand times better! We have had a lot of losses, and the grief has been such a struggle, when I send her this tonight , it will be the best medicine I could ever imagine! Thanks to both of you, that was a fun light hearted treat in a way too serious world!
Unexpected tears of joy. I still have and play my "Some Say I got Devil/Brand New Key" 45 record. Thank you Melanie, for sharing your gifts with us and filling the world with your beautiful loving voice. 🎶❤
Sending care along as you transition through the great divide. Gratitude Melanie, for this restorative collaboration above and for all of your songs in the world. When I was 16 years old, your words for sure got me through some long nights. Peace be with you.
So my memory of your song is my Ma playing this in our car and we sang to it . I was a child. Lois dropped out of high school to model for Eileen Ford at 15 , was all round Buddha (not even knowing what a Buddha was) . She died at 45 from breast cancer . This song (for me) is for all the lights among us that shine and burn and must say farewell . Thank you for writing this song that Lois and I used to sing in the car (beat up Chevy Impala mind you )
I’m so happy I found this !! Oh Melanie is a big part of my heart !! I broke down learning she passed . My inner child wept and I became a mess as I listened to her songs again reliving that time !!So glad she touched me that way . great-full for her forever!!
My dad, who was a multi-instrumentalist and a huge promoter of female artists, introduced my siblings and I to Melanie, when we were little kids (late 60s). We LOVE YOU MELANIE. Miley, you are a gem too. I love that you're so willing to explore different avenues of music, and, despite a lot of the hate that flows in your direction, you really are talented.
Wow melanie you still have an amazing voice...so glad you chose to sing with miley cos that girl can sing anything....beautiful duet... beautiful version thank you x
Melanie! I grew up in Massachusetts and in about ‘98 my moms friend Laura Dickey showed me your music. Laura is from Texas. She ended up doing my hair for my prom. All these years have passed (I’m 30 now) and your music STILL touches me. Your voice is gorgeous and STRONG. Just like you. I love you Melanie!
I can't tell you the last time I heard this but it brings back memories of when I was a kid. Mom used to sing this all the time as she cleaned up after the 3 of us kids. Mel sounds great and Miley didn't go over the top; just simple & honest vocals. Great duet; love to hear more like this.
Nobody will ever replace Melanie. I hope Miley treasures the honor she experienced being in her presence and singing with such an icon. Sing with the angles Melanie
SO happy that Black Mirror is bringing some new people to Melanie appreciation! I've loved Melanie since I was 11 and heard "Brand New Key." 62 now, still love her as much if not more.
Lovely Melanie and Miley such a wonderful combo. RIP Melanie been a fan since 1969 and had many wonderful times listening to your wonderful songs and brilliant covers of other composers xxx
Born in '67 and don't quite remember Woodstock, but I love and listen to all of Melanie's songs. Always too good. Your Woodstock footage gives me goosebumps. Pure talent! Love this rendition with Miley, too.

Miley brought out just an extra ounce of youthful energy in Melanie's singing. I loved this when it was first released in 2015 and even more so now.
I thought Melanie was the most beautiful thing id ever saw .I was about 10 . Well shes aged like a fine wine ,still beautiful ,still got the voice ,deeper ,but richer . This womans what we call in Scotland ,a classy lassie . Thanks Melanie ,and keep it going lass . xx
I've been a fan for over 50 years and I'm so sad today. Thank you Melanie for all the joy you've brought us over the years. RIP

I love how Melanie actually reads the comments. So if you are reading this Melanie thanks for all the great music you've given us.
Thank YOU for listening!
Oh I wish I would have made it to Woodstock I found the flyer in my bedroom the week after it ended 🤣🤣🤣🙃🙂🥴😎💜💚💙🤙🎸🎵🎼🎶🎙🎶🎸

Totally underrated artist, sang her heart out in the rain at Woodstock. This is a brilliant duet. RIP Melanie. I can't stop listening to this over the past two days. I like Miley's throaty voice.
"I like Miley's throaty voice." Me too. And the two of them complement each other perfectly.
This is fantastic. Melanie's voice is still so rich and powerful. Miley needs to sing more acoustic songs. Beautiful tone.
find her version of Wish You Were Here
Toitally agree, Miley has a great voice, it`s wasted.
She did the song justice!!!

Miley is just fine by me.
We lost a great soul today. Her "hymn" LAY DOWN sends chills through me.
Absolutely one of my favorites, as well as Beautiful People.
Melanie is still great all these years later. Miley’s voice is crystal clear. Beautiful inside and out.
True, Cyrus really has a fantastic voice.
A song of my childhood. So sad to hear you are no longer with us. Rest in peace, Melanie.

I always thought Melanie was a rare beauty with a voice to match and I still think the same.
She is still beautiful to me!!!
And, to me .... my wife, my kids, and the grandkids old enough to "get it". PEACE AND LOVE
I still love her ❤
More beautiful than Cyruz
Melanie's voice is original, unique and a gift. Kinda like Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks or Midler..

Miley Cyrus. Never cared for her music but she absolutely kills it. She should do more of this style of stuff because she blew me away.
Listen to her version of Jolene
Yes, she has great pipes.
You should hear the songs they don't put on the radio, she's been at it since she was small, her talent is incomparable
She does have a voice!
She did Led Zeppelin as well
Love Miley's backyard sessions so much, when life gets overwhelmed i go on RUclips and search for it. So sad to hear about Melanie... RIP ❤

I've noticed in Miley's performances she is very admirable to the other singers and knows when to hold back vocally. ❤🙂
Melanie's (Lay Down) Candles in the Rain, has ALWAYS moved me. "To be there is to remember. So lay it down again, Lay it down. Lay it down. Lay it down again. Men can live as brothers. Candles in the Rain".
My favorite of her songs
Miles Cyrus has done this song justice. Melanie, you are the Best, thankyou

Thanks to both of you, that was a fun light hearted treat in a way too serious world!
I have loved Melanie since I was a teenager late 70's
Unexpected tears of joy. I still have and play my "Some Say I got Devil/Brand New Key" 45 record. Thank you Melanie, for sharing your gifts with us and filling the world with your beautiful loving voice. 🎶❤
Sending care along as you transition through the great divide. Gratitude Melanie, for this restorative collaboration above and for all of your songs in the world. When I was 16 years old, your words for sure got me through some long nights. Peace be with you.
Loved Melanie so much. Would roller skate around singing Brand New Key. Still love it. RIP and thanks for the music 🎶
Absolutely wonderful!! Brings back fond memories of an era when you had real musicians and people could sing. Beautiful!
Miley loves music--you can see it in her collaborations. She's not interested in just being a star. Keep on doing.
I agree with this
people hack on her but what a voice ,gteat mentor in Melanie consumate profressional
So my memory of your song is my Ma playing this in our car and we sang to it . I was a child. Lois dropped out of high school to model for Eileen Ford at 15 , was all round Buddha (not even knowing what a Buddha was) . She died at 45 from breast cancer . This song (for me) is for all the lights among us that shine and burn and must say farewell . Thank you for writing this song that Lois and I used to sing in the car (beat up Chevy Impala mind you )
I’m so happy I found this !! Oh Melanie is a big part of my heart !! I broke down learning she passed . My inner child wept and I became a mess as I listened to her songs again reliving that time !!So glad she touched me that way . great-full for her forever!!
RIP Melanie.. what a voice, a beautiful woman and a bright spirit. Condolences to your family and friends.
If thus woman only knew how special her songs have been in my life. This one in particular sums up my life in so many ways. Thank you Melanie.
I know now... :)
My dad, who was a multi-instrumentalist and a huge promoter of female artists, introduced my siblings and I to Melanie, when we were little kids (late 60s). We LOVE YOU MELANIE. Miley, you are a gem too. I love that you're so willing to explore different avenues of music, and, despite a lot of the hate that flows in your direction, you really are talented.
What "hate"?
No hate intended, but Jeff, you need to get out from under that rock
The hate disguised as "musical discernement?" Beat it, kid.
@@cneff3494 I'm 60 and I didn't know what hate you were referring to, I loved her and everyone around me seemed to love her too.
@@BLFulle Unfliter the comments.
Wow melanie you still have an amazing voice...so glad you chose to sing with miley cos that girl can sing anything....beautiful duet... beautiful version thank you x
Melanie! I grew up in Massachusetts and in about ‘98 my moms friend Laura Dickey showed me your music. Laura is from Texas. She ended up doing my hair for my prom. All these years have passed (I’m 30 now) and your music STILL touches me. Your voice is gorgeous and STRONG. Just like you. I love you Melanie!
Melanie you are an absolute legend!
I can't tell you the last time I heard this but it brings back memories of when I was a kid. Mom used to sing this all the time as she cleaned up after the 3 of us kids. Mel sounds great and Miley didn't go over the top; just simple & honest vocals. Great duet; love to hear more like this.
Perfect !!! I've never been a fan of Miley Cyrus but this is great. I absolutely adore you Melanie
listen to some of miley's covers on here. she'll really change your mind.
Wow , I had no idea Miley could sing SO well. That her voice had developed so much character. You two together … !
Yeah, when she's not singing her own crap music, she's pretty good...
@@seanseoltoir actually her latest music which is influenced by 70's 80's and 90's Rock sounds really great
She has a great voice. Just give her great material.
Her own music isn't crap, she's a great artist.@@seanseoltoir
Nobody will ever replace Melanie. I hope Miley treasures the honor she experienced being in her presence and singing with such an icon. Sing with the angles Melanie
Ruhe in Frieden Melanie... Danke für deine tolle Musik! Grüße aus Deutschland... Greetings from Germany
SO happy that Black Mirror is bringing some new people to Melanie appreciation! I've loved Melanie since I was 11 and heard "Brand New Key." 62 now, still love her as much if not more.
Can't believe today. This awesome talented gentle soul just passed this plane. RIP sweet sister, Lay down, lay down.
Melanie, you are a national treasure. You taught us so much with your beautiful voice and songs. ✌🏾❤️🌱✨
Lovely Melanie and Miley such a wonderful combo. RIP Melanie been a fan since 1969 and had many wonderful times listening to your wonderful songs
and brilliant covers of other composers xxx
Born in '67 and don't quite remember Woodstock, but I love and listen to all of Melanie's songs. Always too good. Your Woodstock footage gives me goosebumps. Pure talent!
Love this rendition with Miley, too.
