Wow!!!!! What a beautiful LIVE rendition of this classic song! Such a great voice after all this years. What a great entertainer! She connects with her audience.
I have adored this woman since 1975. My sister bought her album with "Midnight Blue" on it. She didn't like the other songs, and gave it to me. Bless her for that! Almost 45 years later, and I still know the lyrics to every one of her songs. I obsessively searched out every album she ever made, and she is still my idol. And she still is incredible!
Sooo beautiful! I love it when our older entertainers can still hit notes w/o being flat or sharp. Once a singer, always a singer...always in our hearts
Melissa Manchester is an American singer-songwriter and actress. She celebrated her 70th birthday on Monday February 15, 2021 Manchester was born (1951) in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, to a musical family. Her father was a bassoonist for the New York Metropolitan Opera. Her mother was one of the first women to design and found her own clothing firm. Manchester started a singing career at an early age, singing commercial jingles at age 15. UPTATE: She is now 71 - February 15, 2022.
Saw her tonight at Middletown Paramount Theater, and I got chills at some of her songs. She still has a powerful masterful voice, and it was a thrilling evening. I told her so as she walked by to her signing table!
Remember listening to Melissa on AM radio, back in the 70s and 80s, in our Dodge Dart, Chevy Malibu, Dodge 024 then Mercury Cougar. Timeless, powerful voice and still attractive after all these years.
My favorite movie in the 7th grade and still Ice Castles and this is that movies song. If youve nevercseen it and love this song. Must seevthe movie its a bitter sweet young love story that has love fame and tragedy but faith and love with stubborness and humility of young lovers. Its captivating and sad but love prevails tests of these high school small eastern towners fron the 70s. It makes all your hopes and dreams and wishes tested and wanting these two lovebird kids to succeed its a great love story of a girl with dreames of iceskating professional but pressures of lufe and hes a hockeey player on the roD to a star career as well. Life and circumstances of youth, fame,love trials of distnce and deciet. But, friendship and trust with love rekindle d by the end youve gone through box of lkeenex to standing ovation smiling and clapping. Their was another release of the move same name but nothing close to the original it had no depth. The acters most gone now are legends and cant be replaced so they both are written by script but the orig. Stars Robby Benson who i hVe no clue he was a 70s star just poof dont hear much and a new actress tgen i never saw her in anyother movie and Allen Thicke etc. A MUST SEE 1979? Movie: "ICE CASTLES". Google it will lead you to find it Its on CZcams for free also. Try it 5* + Mellissa M. Has a cameo role also and sings several hits from the movie as well double bonus. Share ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!
Mellisa Is the Women Of antiquilar Songs She has A Deliquient voice Nowadays Years ago She has Her voice Very talented And she has that voice until now
Do you have any more from this performance, just saw Missy at The Broadway Theater in Pitman, N.J and she did for the first time in concert The Theme From The Promise.
Like her famous contemporaries, Bette and Barry, she is a superb performer who works well with her current vocal ability and surrounds herself with strong, talented people. She is such a gift to popular music.
Tracy Stuart, Melissa does not have a disease. The singer you are thinking of, and has since stopped all public performances due to illness, is Linda Ronstadt.
David S. , I attend many of Melissa's concerts. Her voice remains incredibly strong. I recommend you watch a video of her performing, "I Know Who I Am" which showcases her amazing voice.
The fact that she has no long sustained notes with her vibrato tells me that her voice has seriously deteriorated. She has learned to compensate by filling in with additional phrasing. Take this from someone who can sing- she is not even close to what she used to be. Happens sometimes just with age. Tom Jones does the same thing.
I beg to politely disagree with you....could you sound this good in your sixties. I met her recently in Clearwater, Florida...2017...just wonderful. Did you know the story of how they starved her for the album with "You Should Hear How She Talks About You"? I'm a part time singer in my sixties...full time Realtor...
We are all very sorry about how "Sorry you are", but we are all very pleased with Melissa Manchester's performance. We all enjoyed it very much and you can just keep your worthless remarks to yourself. She is as beautiful and talented as ever and I appreciate her very much. Thank you, Melissa, I love you.

when you have a powerful voice in youth... it lasts decades, thank God ! Melissa sounds better than ever !
Yes, and some believe that over time and a Person ages that their voice becomes more rich in tone, strength and powerful.
Wow!!!!! What a beautiful LIVE rendition of this classic song! Such a great voice after all this years. What a great entertainer! She connects with her audience.

For some reason, all my grade school teachers looked like Melissa Manchester. The memory is a strange thing.
She's great! Didn't hear much of her way back then till the movie "The Promise" I saw recently.
What a marvelous talent and lovely person. One of my all time favorite singers. ❤
It is beautiful, she has a blessed voice !!!
Beautiful song
Tears So beautiful ❤

Amazing how voices sound the same decades later. This may be a bit lower but still a beautiful song. She could really create a melody.
Sounds great... Please come to Chicago!

Beautiful beyond description
Wow. How powerful not to mention quite entertaining.

Mellisa Is the Women Of antiquilar Songs
She has A Deliquient voice Nowadays
Years ago She has Her voice Very talented
And she has that voice until now
Do you have any more from this performance, just saw Missy at The Broadway Theater in Pitman, N.J and she did for the first time in concert The Theme From The Promise.
I was hoping to hear 👂 “ You Should Hear How She Talks About You”
Her voice is still powerful and beautiful!
Like her famous contemporaries, Bette and Barry, she is a superb performer who works well with her current vocal ability and surrounds herself with strong, talented people. She is such a gift to popular music.
Awesome 👌....
Wow, her voice is still beautiful
🥂💐🌹❤️☀️👏
Nikki and Victor s love song from the Young and the Restless
🌹❤🌹
Really?
Goshamighty! A Star
It's only one Melissa
The one dude sounds like Kenny Loggins!
Coming in from the rain
Her voice has obviously become deeper with age, happens, ever notice even Elton John sounds like a grandmother who smokes a pack a day, octave lower.
Melissa sounds great but she doesn't look like Melissa
I'd gladly take it, my friend!
It's called life and age..for almost 70 in this concert..darn great!!
i was thinking she died along time ago
Very much alive, thank God.
Looks like she eats good
Love the voice tone but she lost her vibrato. Not sure why.
She has disease in her vocal chords. And, people thought she'd never sing again...
Hi Tracy, I did not know that. I was wondering. She had an operatic sound before.
Tracy Stuart, Melissa does not have a disease. The singer you are thinking of, and has since stopped all public performances due to illness, is Linda Ronstadt.
David S. , I attend many of Melissa's concerts. Her voice remains incredibly strong. I recommend you watch a video of her performing, "I Know Who I Am" which showcases her amazing voice.

Take this from someone who can sing- she is not even close to what she used to be. Happens sometimes just with age. Tom Jones does the same thing.
Still has a beautiful voice but she did NOT age well.
Well she should get a face lift.
🤷
sorry but not as good as she used to be. Or maybe it was an off night. :-(
