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.

RIP, Melanie. you always light it up. and thanks to Miley Cyrus for honoring her so well.

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!!!

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.

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.

So beautiful. Thankyou Miley for bringing Melanie back into the limelight with such a great tune. RIP, beautiful, and thanks for the memories.

This is fantastic. Melanie's voice is still so rich and powerful. Miley needs to sing more acoustic songs. Beautiful tone.

@@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.

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 🕊💐🕊

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.

Melanie's voice is original, unique and a gift. Kinda like Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks or Midler..

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.

So happy to see that todays artists love her. We will miss you dear Melanie. Thank you

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
