'Melissa' was written by Greg Allman and it was one of his brother Duane's favorite songs. When Duane Allman was killed in a motorcycle accident, the rest of the Allman Brothers Band decided to record it for the album they were working on as a tribute to Duane. Vocals are by Gregg and electric guitar is by Dickey Betts who just passed away recently.
But at first, Duane didn't like it, from what I've read.
He loves Melissa so much that even after his death he'll go to Melissa. That's why you see the footprints of him walking.
This was my very first “favourite” band! My eldest daughter is called Mellisa, my youngest is Jessica - both named after Allman Brothers songs!
Peace
Love this band so much, one of the great American bands ever.
Greatest band ever,enjoy .you have finally got to them.❤
Dammmn str8 brother 🎉
Greatest American band. Brilliant musicians
You're correct there was so much fantastic music in the 70's; as someone who lived during this time I never imagined that music would not equal the quality we consistently had in then. I think today's musicians live in a time when flash, spectacle, dancing, etc. are needed to hide the lack of musical talent and this is now the norm and those with talent can't easily find an audience.
Excellent Reaction. ABB was an Amazing Band. Y’all should do “Jessica” next.
RIP Dickey Betts🙏
One of my FAVS by them: In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed (At Fillmore East, 1971) - OMG - SUCH A JAM!!! LOVE ABB....THANKS for LISTENING TO THIS ONE, YOU-TWO!!! :) You might oughta check out Whipping Post, too - I can't recall you listening to that one, yet - BANGER!! HUGS, YOU-TWO!!!
Can't wait until you get to "Whipping Post"! Be sure to do the live version (Fillmore 9/23/70).
Now that we lost both Allman bros, and Dickey Betts, it is the end of an era. Inventors of Southern Rock, the Allmans will always be in my upper tier of music.
Get their debut album and listen to "Don't want you no more / It's not my cross to bear".
Southern Rock at its Finest
This song should always be played on the first beautiful spring day.
I would go with Blue Sky.
@@bradsense7431 Well.............. ok. Maybe both, eh?
@@johnperrigo6474 absolutely! I love them both.
My favorite all time song. Named my youngest daughter for this song!
Thanks, guys. I am so fortunate and grateful to have been a young man during the 70's. My friends and I bonded over the great music on the radio at the time. We couldn't wait to buy the latest albums by our favorite artists. Then, we would listen to them from beginning to end, in deep attention and appreciation. It was a time full of diverse creativity and talent. So many memories.
...and, GOOD MEMORIES, at THAT!! :) SO TRUE!!!
Tha Allman Brothers song SOULSHINE is a real positive feel-good song. And so is sweet MELISSA.
I agree completely
FACTS!!!
What a beautiful way to describe the feeling you got hearing this...
The Allman Brothers Band is in a class all by itself. It would take too long to explain the background of all the sorrow and
joy that surrounds this incredible group. Considered the best live band ever. Their Live at the Fillmore East concert is legendary.
Their music is a mixture of Country, Blues, Rock, Jazz...they incorporate everything in their music. Try "Whipping Post".
many many hit songs with this band. Dickey Betts (December 12, 1943 - April 18, 2024)
I agree that the seventies were the richest era of music across all genres and countries..
"Whipping Post" is another great song from this group.
🇬🇧 Andrei..Dominika... You guys are just beautiful, you really are. You are officially in my top two reaction channels. 🔥👍💕🎼
Thank you so much 🤗 💚
Southern boys from Florida and their favorite place play was NYC!
Come south to Atlanta Ga. We'd love to have you. Allman Brothers were born just south of Atlanta in Macon GA.
A great song from a great band. I know two different people who named their daughter Melissa because of this song. Completely aside from that, dogs going around in circles before laying down for the night is something in their DNA from their ancestors, the wolves. Wolves did that to pat down the area of ground they would sleep on so there were no sticks or rocks sticking up when they layed down.
I'm from the south, Tennessee. Come join us.
Beautiful song for anyone who’s gone away for awhile missing home and everything that goes with it. Wondering if you’ll get back home.
Another terrific contribution by the recently departed Dickey Betts. Brings back wonderful memories.
100s of great songs. ❤ one of the greatest bands ever. Duane and Dicky ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song is relaxing.
One of my top three bands of all time there’s so many great songs to choose from guys from soul shine to one way out to whipping post. Enjoy this band I know you’ll love them. Much love and blessings. 🥂
The Allman Brothers were one of the most talented bands, Dickey Betts and Duanne Allman on guitar, 2 drummers, and Gregg on vocals. They were Country, Blues, a little jazz, and always Southern Rock. "Whipping Post" live at Fillmore East is one of the best live songs then.
Don't forget Berry Oakley on bass
@@beare55 Absolutely. Thanks.
A fantastic rabbit hole to explore, The Allman Brothers Band At Fillmore East, just pick a song and groove!
What a sweet feel this song has. Pure gold. You can feel the movement flow like a river. Have you played their song “Blue Sky”? You love that one too.
To hear the music that introduced America to The Allman Brothers, you have to listen to one of the best live album ever, Live At The Fillmore East. Whipping Post was a monster hit, that introduced many of us to country rock.
Another great band with a southern blues rock sound is the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Check out Champagne Jam, So Into You, Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight. If you can sit still while they are playing someone should check you for a pulse.
Please react to blood on the rooftops by Genesis. You will LOVE IT
Finally, the Allman Brother's.
You should check out another great Allman Brothers song, "Blue Sky", written and sung by Dickey Betts.
Gregg’s song - and he asked Dickey Betts to toss in some guitar. Did he ever…
I believe you two would love Kenny Rankin,he has the most beautiful,mellifluous voice you will ever hear…
Try when sunny gets blue,groovin,and peaceful here just for starters……..you might also try Laura Nyro,seldom played powerful beautiful voice,and writer for many artists ,please play Luckie by her..her 13th confessions album is wonderful
Excellent!! Enjoy the trek through this time in music.
“Tied To The Whipping Post” next!
Def should give Standback, Aint Wastin Time, and Statesboro Blues a spin now!
You need to hit Jessica soon, an instrumental with fantastic guitar work from the late GREAT Dickey Betts. Also Soulshine, Statesboro Blues, Not my cross to bear & One way out - live from Fillmore East. I'll be patiently waiting. Nothin better than Southern rock, always makes me feel home❤
I worked for a custom Audio/Video company in the 1990’s. One day I got a work order for Greg Allman, to install a satellite dish. I arrived in the AM, and was greeted at the door by Greg’s medical assistant. Greg came in and we talked briefly about the install. He asked me if I wanted to smoke a joint. (Hell yeah, I said inside my head!) I politely declined and I went about my job. After I finished, I sat with Greg in the Living Room and went over remote control and the satellite. As we talked he opned up about being married to Cher (yes, THAT Cher.) He said his nickname for her was “Toots”. She HATED that nickname. I chuckle every time I think about that day. Magical for me, as Melissa was one of my favorite songs growing up. Love both of you! Peace.
Great story! ☮🖤🤘
Wow, this is great! Thank you for sharing 😊
Gregg Allman, along with Steve Alaimo, wrote this.
By far my favorite Allman Brothers song.
Dickie Betts on guitar JUST died weeks ago,
As always, love to see you. smile.
Blue Sky,Jessica and Pony Boy are 3 Allmans favorites you might try
I love that song !
After I heard this song, I vowed to name my first daughter, Melissa. I never did have a girl, but how I love this song! And I love you guys❤
So many great tracks from The Allman Brothers any of the live Fillmore tracks, they did make a bunch of Amazing music after Duane passed, they added Warren Hayes in addition to Dickey Betts. Soulshine would be an awesome song for you to react to.
In the '70s I was in my prime - and so was the music.
Great song, recorded soon after Duane Allman died so he’s not on this. Features Dickey Betts on guitar who recently passed. A great song, but maybe not the first I would have suggested. The studio version of Whipping post or One way out live from Eat a peach album are both great and featured both Duane and Dickey. ❤
No, wouldn't be my choice either.
Although Duane Allman and the live Fillmore album were monumental, eat a peach was a great album. Dickey Betts did a fine job and when they added Warren Hayes it even made it better. I feel that they would have responded really well to Soulshine.
The Allman Brothers brought Southern Rock to the streets of America. They're one of the best bands to come out of America. You never go wrong with any Allman Bros. song. Melissa was one of the Allman Brothers best. That whole album - "Eat a Peach" was one of their very best. If you wanna hear how good of musicians the band was, find a listen to "High Falls" - album version. It's prolly too long to react too but it is beyond words good. It's an incredible piece.
I saw an interview with Gregg Allman in the past and he said that the song was the first one that he wrote and kept
There is a live acoustic version of this song on RUclips. Gregg on the 12 string guitar with 2 more guitars. Gives you a different feel
brilliant
Almman B. band was a "southern band".....great surf tunes.
Great song from a great band. Allman Brothers Band was so so good, and could play in so many wonderful styles. I would recommend listening to most of Live at the Fillmore East, a classic live album from their peak, but there are many many great studio cuts from other albums. If you want someone maybe a little similar playing now, check out Tedeschi Trucks Band, who have some connections to the Allman Brothers Band. They also are great players, singers, and play authentic true to the heart music in many styles.
In the early 90s, my 11 year old stepdaughter Melissa heard this song whenever she felt bad about things in life that she didn't yet comprehend.
Now, 30 plus years later, the dead mans gold still hidden, still shines softly.
What a love song.
This band is the Southern Rock genre elite some say founders… ?Also, being a drummer should mention they had two drummers Jai Johanny Johanson and Butch Trucks… This is from I feel their best album Eat a Peach… Great reaction and review 👊🏻
AB's made some beautiful sweet music and then theirs songs such as Whipping Post, One Way Out that are hard hitting rock blues jams with Duane Allman prior to his death in 1971. And the easier listening songs such as Blue Sky and Jessica...
You're just discovering the Allman Brothers? Amazing experiences are ahead! The 1970s were amazing.
One Way Out (live at the Filmore East)
Whipping Post (studio version is my favorite but there's also a great live Filmore East version as well)
Jessica
Many others will suggest their favorites as well...❤❤❤
The Allman Brothers music is like home cooking.
OMG, Southern Rock-Jazz Fusion at its finest !!! Great reaction, as usual ... luv you both !!! However, for this band, you MUST try to do the live versions of their songs if you have the choice (this one has none that I know of and IS the definitive one AFAIK), as this is one of a very few bands where the live performances are where they shine ... MORE than on the studio albums. Now, there is an exception ... sort of ... their album Eat A Peach is a combination of studio songs and leftover songs from "At Fillmore East" that didn't fit on that album. Now, as far as other SONGS YOU MUST HEAR before you die ... I'd urge you to do One Way Out, Stormy Monday, Jessica, Ramblin' Man, In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, (DEFINITELY) Whipping Post (live At Fillmore East is a "life experience"), Les Brers In A Minor, Blue Sky, Midnight Rider (though the solo Gregg Allman album version is the best one) and You Don't Love Me are the songs you MUST react to !!!
More Allman Brothers Please!
Great rock band from the 70's that mixed blues, jazz & country music in their sound. They had lots of great songs such as "Whipping Post", "In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed", "Statesboro Blues", "Whipping Post", "Blue Sky", "Ramblin' Man" etc. One of my favorites is their instrumental "Jessica" which was written by guitarist Dickey Betts & named after his daughter. Sadly he just passed away.
Thank you for your wonderful, thoughtful reactions, y'all. Other songs are Midnight Rider, Ramblin Man, Jessica, No Way Out, Statesboro Blues, Blue Sky, Whipping Post (LIVE, 1970 Fillmore East). Enjoy! ☮🖤🤘
You two are the best! I love your honest, heartfelt reactions...I grew up during the later 60's and 70's and agree with you about the music of that time. It was the best! ❤️
Aha, so The Allman brothers is... a little new, no, kind of new, not, it's new. If this is your 1st exposure to this band, you will truly enjoy more. When it comes to American Southern style rock, they are THE band. I'm biased because I really like them, but I don't think there is an Allman Brothers band that isn't just fabulous. So, the best ones to listen to.... every one. 😀 And yes, my dogs have always done that round and round thing to get comfortable too.
Duanne Allman plays the glassy slide lines and Dickey Betts does all the individual picking notes in between. Greg Allman's voice is up there with Joe Cocker, Bob Seger, and Rod Stewart for raspy vocals.
NO WAY OUT/ STATESBORO BLUES/ WHIPPING POST are big hits.
Dogs do that round and round thing before they lie down from instincts bred from when they lived in grasslands and savannas, and they had to tread down the grass to make a nice place to lie down for themselves. Or so I've heard
This band has a large catalog, and every song is incredible. This has always been one of my favorites, but the song"Whipping Post" is also incredible. My wife and I were married in the early 70s, and I would love to go back to that wonderful period.
Yes, Whipping Post live at Fillmore East 1970 (Official). ☮🖤🤘
Andrei, u feeling the jam band scene, Allman Bros the best😎
A wonderful song, but my second favorite on "Eat a Peach". "Blue Sky" has the same easy feel but with the best guitar duet ever recorded. imo. Thanks for sharing, especially the talking! ☮💙🎶
the story goes is Gregg had this song but didn’t have a girls name to name the song … he was in a supermarket shopping when a little girl was running through the aisles alone followed by a woman yelling “Melissa..Melissa “ .. and this masterpiece was created… there are thousands of girls named Melissa after this song …
A dear friend of mine who has since passed named his daughter after this song. The Allman boys went to school in my mom's hometown of Lebanon Tennessee. More Allman Bros please!
Another great band of the 70s, saw them several times live wonderful shows 😊🎶🎸👌
It's hard to beat that southern rock and blues!
'68 - '78 was the best, most creative, era for music
The Allman Brothers are a national treasure and Melissa is one of my absolute favorites. The story goes Gregg Allman was hung up on naming this song for a long while until finally one time in a grocery store at 4am he heard a Spanish lady call to her daughter "Melissa" as she was running away, it was then he realized that was the name he was looking for. He said in an interview with Howard Stern he was so happy he wanted to go over and kiss that lady on the cheek.
Melissa is a pretty common American name. Often shortened to Missy.
Early evening summertime, air cooling after hot day, cruising with friends, Allman Brothers on the sound system. Life was hopeful. Great reaction to great selection.
We lived a block away from where Duane was buried. We would walk by his grave nearly every day. Many new flowers, whiskey bottles left by it nearly every time.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Welcome to the genre of Souther Rock, y'all!! Other faves from ABB: Whipping Post, Revival, Trouble No More, Dreams, One Way Out, Ain't Wastin' Time No More and the list goes on and on. Ther are many other groups in the genre, but ABB is one of the best, especially since I grew up in that era. I absolutely LOVE your appreciate for such musical beauties. And for you, Andre, please give a listen to Revival; the mix of rock, gospel and foot-stomping...you will enjoy that song! Love to you both from Florida!
Call and response between guitar and vocals. Great stuff.
Beautiful Greg Allman. I remember being at a Blackberry Smoke concert here in the UK and Charlie Starr announced that Brother Greg had been taken in to hospital, and we all knew he would soon leave us.
You should do a BREAd song with vocals by David Gates called Aubrey, another beautiful name!
🐕👍
Saw em 27 times.... End of tha line ... these days... Jessica...
Another band that had to face tradgity. One of the greatest guitar players in music history, Duane Allman, had a tragic ending in 1971. He rivaled and had the respect of Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Alvin Lee, and Jimmy Hendrix as one of the greatest guitar players of all time. A HUGE loss for the music industry. 😢
💚🤍💛 from Richmond Va USA
Dominika loved Dickie Betts guitar on this studio track, she's gonna love this acoustic version done on MTV, the end contains dueling acoustic guitars with Dickie and Warren Haynes! ruclips.net/video/ggeab0lKz2c/видео.html
Glad Ya'll liked it !! ❤
Blue Sky also a feel good song by them !!
its the delta blues influences, that not a part of todays musicians
Your appreciation of the music from the 60's and 70's proves that you have taste . The stuff that they are churning out now , and have been for more than the last 30 years is almost entirely garbage, and don't get me started on rap , which is not even music .
