[nozrydr1]

One of the Best Voices ever.

[fourfortysixpak1]

tks Burton great songs, beautiful music keep on rockin!!! Proud to be a part of a generation with brilliant songwrighters such as yourself, Bachman,Springsteen,Dylan and more. Time is shared in a very special way with the music you work so hard to give all of us! Thankyou so very much!!!!!

[GOBLIN2GAGETV]

dope song

[1984AP]

Just heard this song in the `83 Horror flick Curtains. Very catchy tune.

[ElProximo]

I can only hope any aspiring young artists.. the next generation coming up.. i hope they can find this and just listen. This was an artist. This is composing, writing, playing and singing. And its amazing and beautiful and creative and its substantial. This will last 100 years. This still moves people 30 years later. American Idol, Britney and Kanye are candy you regret eating. But this is what you want to find.

I can only hope the next generation finds this. And does it anew.

[RitaAnne]

I just downloaded this onto my itunes. OMG I searched for it. The one I have is from a later performance. Burton and the piano and that amazing voice. Does anyone know if the original from the movie is available. I have looked for "melanie" not available. BUT I LOVED the music and BURTON..

[B52sguy]

@RitaAnne I have the video and I have saved the link. It is from Britain, and they do a good business. Write me and I will send you the link. Was my wedding song. Still, after 30 years.

So excited to see this and more May 18th in Barrie. I truly cannot pick my fav BC song.

[lonelyheroine]

Burton, because of you I'm alive today. There really aren't words enough to tell you how grateful I am.

[geovettes]

a very distinct and powerful voice that can not be matched by many. just watched the movie 'melanie' here on youtube. that's how i discovered this song and if you're a fan of burton, you should watch the movie.

[d2pwow]

Ever faithful, Burton. Love you, Mimi Eye

[SkyDancer25]

Listening to it again seeing the close ups of Burton singing and to see the passion in his body language and hear it in his voice, really, really gives me goosebumps...I like it when really good music does that to me.

[SomethingClevr]

Burton in this era! I could just take a bite out of that man!

He's still got the voice. He's still got the looks. But that era Burton still "makes me cream my jeans" as Carole Pope would say. OY!

[TK4863]

I still love this song. I can't believe it was not a bigger hit.

[granmapen]

Love from the faithful Burton...

[TheLindahelton]

I LOVE THIS! NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO IT!

[WoWImaFan]

This was the first time that I ever heard Burton Cumming sing. Wow, I was 8 and totally fell in love with him and his music.

[Tommit9]

This is the first time I have heard this song and I am TELLING YOU, HE HIT HOME with me on this one! I love it!

[SkyDancer25]

I heard this on the radio so many times...like a lazy fool, finally sat back and listened to the lyrics...damn! Way to go Burton, love the song. Yeah, they even have a venue in Winnipeg on Smith ( I think) The Burton Cummings Theatre.

[d2pwow]

What a great ballad!  His voice is like velvet lined with silk.

[csmmed]

sounds like a very heartfelt message to randy. thanks for bringing back a pair of unreal artists!

[cindiloohoo552]

Burt, your voice made my high school days wonderful and memorable. Thank you.

You still play on my turntable and now on my cd player.... well, not yet into an mp3 but got 'ya on my computer mp3 player.

[buffspringfield]

Thanks 4 your music, Burt.

[sanibelscreamer]

Burt I love this song and your hair is AWESUM

[granmapen]

You call this an inferior song...Are you crazed?. Underrated, it was a big hit on the juke box at the Derby Bar in Detroit for years...He is still as handsome as he was then..Another Canadian that got away....If I had you now, I'd never have to make it alone...

[wheelchairmommy]

he still looks like hot to me..saw him in concert many years ago too..yummy

[kitakashiwa]

Burton Reynolds! Too bad Dom Deluise wasn't guesting on guitar

[Shamagogue]

Burton really had a great voice but in his solo career he always did inferior material!!!

[azac69]

what songs did you listen to?

[B52sguy]

Still, after almost 30 years, one of the very best love/ballad numbers ever produced, written, and sung. Just beautifull!

And if Sonia, with Darcy and Sky should read this, get in touch, because no matter what, this is our wedding song.

JF

[QuillsDinkins]

Good song! I know someone who did this for me!

[Perrygodmother]

It's a Canadian thing.

[leonardw6]

Not Canadian but I gave you a thumbs up!

[DLoBrown44]

What movie was this used in, anyone, took place on a military base, early 80's maybe?

[ZuluDawn99]

Melanie was the movie, around 1982.

[DebSuzyQ]

Is there a wedding ring on his finger?

just asking, never hear about wife?

good-looking man and awesome voice!!!!

[Perrygodmother]

Chins up Canadian!

[Perrygodmother]

bc You saved my soul, listening NOW to the lyrics I was too busy to hear in the 80's.

But I have now the leasure.

[leonardw6]

I was thinking the same thing!

[B52sguy]

One of the greqat lyrics of all time. The melody is perfect. The vocals are without comparison.

One of the best of the best, and Sonia, this is still our wedding song.

Thanks.

JF

[UPer24]

Burton is awesome and his voice is incredible. Saw him live and he was the best.

[littlekicxs86]

I heard this on the car radio tonight, haven't heard it for a long time. It reminds me of someone too!

[goddessbrightlight]

TWICE IN MY LIFE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME. Once when I was 18 1/2 and then again when I was 47years.

[kmcfly97]

OMG he is SOOOO hot, i can't stand it. I thought that in the 70's and i think that today, as long as Burton keeps singing i will be worshiping.

[B52sguy]

This is just so beautiful of an arrangement. Vocals, composition, and music. This is one of this generations best. And I am 61. My wedding song 28 years ago, and I'm still being saved. Thanks Sonia, And thank you Burton.

JF

[csue01]

yeahrightimsosure,Thank you so much for the info.....

[Bo618]

cute definately cute talented to

[bobbymackinnon]

I love Burton Cummings, but to be honest, when I heard this on the radio, I thought it sounded like something the Righteous Brothers would have written!

Amazing work!

[Shaddoedenise]

He's soooo cute, isn't he?

[B52sguy]

Jeez, This was just a suggestion. She has the only female voice that could cover this song.

Burton will always be the creator of this timeless classic. Cripes! I got married with this as the wedding song. Sorry if I offended anyone.

JF

[OffTheAir1996]

Nice to see the Guess Who's legendary drummer Gary Peterson with his old pal Burton in this video.

[csue01]

Does anyone know where Burton Cummings is now....?

[u2002488]

he was in oshawa ontario canada two yrs ago with randy touring do not know if he is being in winnipeg or not but he was awsome in concert!!!

[PrideRunsDeep]

Yeah... he's all over youtube!

[yeahrightimsosure]

he has a myspace go check it out

[thebigjc2356]

You're absolutely right! Burton and Randy are both great Canadian icons...too bad Randy isn't in this video.

[u2002488]

cummings and randy are both canadian icons for sure

[mrlmonroe]

I love this song and I love watching him sing it......!!!

[daphne80smusic]

Anyone have a video of another canadian band called Sheriff who performed on the Evening at the Improv in LA in 1982. They sang the song "When I'm with you". Would love to see that video if anyone have any information please let me know. Thanks.

[simmons3d]

Go get his latest album, "Above The Ground" its excellent!

[SPAZZOBOXER]

Outstanding clip from the early days of "Evening at the Improv" when Musical Artists [Bob Seger,Little Richard,Burton Cummings] often hosted the show & performed around the standup comics. This is an outstanding "Live" rendition of this moving original, sung with typical B.Cummings feeling & conviction. The "Voice" reaches down into his diaphragm and projecting pure resonant vocal power; touches everyone in the room along with his piano technique,captivating lyrics & band.

[gentlegiant582002]

I have never been let down by Burton Cummings. Every show... every recording..every video... every band. What a great talent and we are so much richer having heard his soulful voice. Thanks BC.

[SmokefromAshes]

So true.

[tjerwin1]

Burton Cummings is one of the best vocalists in music history as far as I am concerned. He has made a permanent spot in music history with his voice and talent. This is one of my all time favorites from him.

[kw47wa]

WOW, I think of this movie every once in a while and wonder why it is never aired, I loved Burton Cummings acting in it and this song " You saved my soul " he sang for the movie. All I can think to say is a HUGE THANKYOU!!! And I still think he is great looking even now. KW

[Chemguy1959]

Great song by a Great Canadian artist... thanks for posting....

[bigfurlan]

Ya that is Gary on drums.

[Vatch1966]

Is that Garry Peterson on Drums?

[garysmusiclist]

"something in the bottom of my heart keeps my hanging on"...This song brings back so many great memories...I love this band!!!!!

[msgotrocks24]

OMG!!!! Burton Cummings is AWESOME!!!!!

Love this.....Thanks so much!!!!

[garytvfan]

Man, he's TERRIFIC live! I don't have this single, but loved the song...this version's even better. Didn't hear it enough on American radio, and never hear it now here at all...so GREAT POST, with MUCH thanks!

[ttwnrancon]

Another song I remember from when I was a kid (I think about 11). Didn't know of this live clip though. Cool!

[Debilee]

Oh I LOVE this song and glad I found another video of it. Love Burton!! He is such a great singer/songwriter!
