      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.

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 🕊💐🕊

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.

    Melanie sounds great, still beautiful eyes & smile, and the duet on this song, as Miley says at the end, "That was bad ass" good

    What a great rendition or duo to relive one of my favorite forgotten oldies after only God knows how many years. Miley does the song great justice. RIP Melanie. Now to listen to the original only God knows how many times.

    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.

    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 ❤

    Simply Awesome! Great idea, thanks Melanie!! a reminder that Music from the Past keeps singers from the Present inspiring music into the future. Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them.- Louis Armstrong

      I enjoyed this duo, superb and they are enjoying making music with each other. I will save to revisit like I do the Tiger Lilies singing, A Thousand Violins, Linda Williams singing, Crossing the Bar, Elvis singing, Trying to Get to You, Stevie wonder and Tom Jones singing, Moving On and the Hallelujah Acoustics with Kurt Nilsen.

    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!

      ..i don't mean any disrespect to Miley with my original expectation.. she's got a great voice, it's just whenever someone sings someone else's song with the original, I don't expect them to be able to keep up with the original artist in terms of feeling in the voice.

    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!
