Oh by the way, you should be able to write messages to Melanie at her website, which I can't seem to give the URL for here, but google Melanie Safka and you'll quickly find it. A good way to communicate with her is to comment on her journal entries there, and you can add other things you want to say or tell her too. Melanie is pretty serious about her journal, so I'm fairly sure she'll be reading any comments people make there. And it's GREAT reading!
This is the best live version of this song on the net, which makes it even more of a pity that it cuts off before the end. Fritz, is there any chance of uploading the full clip? If you don't have the full video, I have the full audio recording and would be happy to share it with you so you could maybe use the ending of that to add to your video? Just message me if you'd like to do that. But thanks for putting this here, it's everything other people have said...
@Melmanian Even better than this version is the duet of the song between Melanie and Don Everly, taken from The Everly Brothers' television variety series, "Johnny Cash Presents The Everly Brothers Show," a summer replacement for Cash's series on ABC-TV in 1971.
The Everlys were gifted with two of the most beautiful, male singing voices ever recorded, at least in a popular music context. I'll concede there are greater male voices in opera, a genre of which I am not especially a fan.
@gymnastix Excuse me, that Everly Brothers' summer TV series was in 1970, not 1971. And the date of the ABC-TV broadcast on which Don Everly and Melanie sang a duet of "Ruby Tuesday" was 07-08-1970.
@Melmanian 'I disagree with those who have written here this version of "Ruby Tuesday" by Melanie is better than the original studio recording by The Rolling Stones. To favorably compare the version of "Ruby Tuesday" here by Melanie with the Stones' original is an exercise in futility.
@Melmanian While there's no doubt Melanie's raspy roar of a voice packs a punch, that Safka may really belt out a tune, to state that her recording of "Ruby Tuesday," as a whole, is superior to the Stones' very textured, orchestral studio arrangement of the song is to state other than what is truthful.
@Melmanian Seriously, play both recorded versions of this song back-to-back. Listen to the fluty flutterings of Brian Jones' recorder, the celllo duet of Bill Wyman and Keith Richards (Wyman pressed the strings against the fretboard, as Richards worked the bow), and Mick Jagger's precision of phrasing and the almost solemnity of his tone that renders the tune beautifully haunting.
@Melmanian Not only is the Stones',version better than Melanie's minimalist, folk arrangement of the song, the Stones' original studio recording of "Ruby Tuesday" is a masterpiece of baroque pop music, a testament to a virtual renaissance of classical influence upon a mid-1960s' pop/rock ouevre.that included The Zombies, "Walk Away, Renee" by The Left Banke, and the Stones' take on chamber music with "Lady Jane."
@Melmanian In fact, this is not even the best version of "Ruby Tuesday" on which Melanies has sung. That distinction belongs to a duet version of the tune sung by Melanie and Don Everly, on ABC-TV's "Johnny Cash Presents The Everly Brothers Show," July 8, 1970. In that renditioin, one may hear one of the most powerful female singing voices of popular music, accompanied by one of the two, most beautiful male singing voices of rock & roll.
@Melmanian A pity no studio version of the Melanie/Don Everly duo singing this song was ever recorded. For such an ideally-recorded rendition may have been a more serious competitor of the Stones' studio original of this song.

yeah Melanie was good ,better than the stones version no doubt , why all the moaning about the German audience ? eveyone knows they are serious cunts :P ☭
Thank you very much for this song. I like Melanie very much . Many years ago my friend gave me a tape with her songs. ( in Poland). I still have it. Her voice is fantastic!
Should she be in the rock and roll Hall of Fame? I think you could make a very strong case for her but I doubt she cares much about such things but she should be considered....
@tobama08 que mediocridad pensar en que Justin sea talentoso... Melane si es autentica artista a Justin le hacen arreglos o no lo han escuchado en vivo jajajaj.....
Ah.....Melanie. Remember this from the 70s. Such an awesome song and a beautiful version. Here in the UK remember seeing Melanie singing this.... Getting old!!...but love this song. Love Melanie. She looks great too. From the UK Melanie, remember lots of nights with this playing. Thank you and love to all fans of this great version.....xxx
Wow love this...I like this a lot more then the stones cut and I am ashame to say it but I have never even heard of Melanie Safka. Thank you so much for posting this.
According to Bill Wyman, "the song was completely written by Keith Richards." According to Marianne Faithfull, "Brian Jones presented an early version of this melody to the rest of the Rolling Stones."
According to Victor Bockris, "Richards came up with the basic track and the words and finished the song with Jones in the studio."
According to me: it's a really nice song. Listen to it and enjoy it (it's time we shut up with speculating the author[s] . . .)
only the very beautiful melanie safka could do a cover better then the original artist.that's mere fact. she made this song number one in the united kingdom where the stones come from little embarrassing,for the stones.as always melanie the great!
record producers don't give a fuck weather justin fucking bieber and like can sing or not,chidren wanna hear his music.It's all about the money,always has been.
What's going to happen to Justin Bieber after his voice changes and he has to shave or grow a beard ??? The other night I saw Justin Bieber shot 5 times in the chest on CSI: Las Vegas. It's a good thing to happen for us guys who were growing beards at 15 years of age and tooting a baritone. Barry White still kills !!!
Melanie was 16 when she received a huge applause at Woodstock. During this tour, the then 16 year old accompanied by her mother and even brought home. so how it was before. Look Punk Merkel please

@joynthis Back then--as now--there were different outlets for music. There was the popular AM stuff that you cite--that all the "lames" listened to (Like Bieber)--then there was the underground FM stuff they only played on college radio. Learn some history beofre you criticize, Skippy. Out of the underground came such artists as: Santana, Led Zepplin, CSN&Y, Jimi Hendrix, and The Greatful Dead. Your lack of musical knowledge is glaringly apparent. Get an education before you open your mouth.
Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen.
@tobama08 I am very familiar with Melanie and her beutifull music but who is justin biebar? as a folk and ballad fan I havn't heard of him -am I missing something
@noproblem53 No, you're not missing a damn thing, unless you're either a pre-teen girl or a male pedophile. Justin Bieber's voice is 10% talent, 90% studio-concoction. Even so, nothing exceptional.
Take away the girlie face and hair, Bieber would still be singing with a hairbrush, in front of the mirror in his bedroom. In fact, I'm not sure he doesn't still do that anyway.
@noproblem53 As for dancing ability, Michael Jackson (speaking of the latter Bieber fanbase), at Bieber's age, was a pop music version of Fred Astaire when it came to choreography, while Bieber is merely an awkward teen practicing his moves in public.
A kid like Bieber should go to a performing arts high school, learn some real performance skills, then maybe would be qualified to appear on Broadway or in regional theater at age 19 or 20, as a chorus boy.
@tobama08 Wonder why I see Justin's name used on almost every video I watch..: /
I barely know who is is, but people use him in a negative manner to compare classical rock to today's music, meaning Beiber... He can't be all that bad..
@storybeliever Am I sure about what? I see him compared to a lot of classic artists on youTube. I don't know much about him, or his music. I assume he's in poplular music, a bubble gummin', teeny boppin', heart throb kinda guy? The teen idols of the 70's and early 80's actually had some talent. I mean David/Shaun Cassidy, Rick Springfield, The Monkees, The Jacksons, Donnie Osmand and clan could SING! Guess I'll listen/watch one of JB's videos here to see how well he does; any suggestions?

I saw her St. Patricks Day 1972 Westbury Music Fair First show. She was tired & stressed but still great. She really was bothered by all the people crowding round her, including me.
Wow at times i get pissed off with the advanceing years but looking back on the great people who were around in my youth i am glad i was born in the time i was ...........
The very first time I heard Melanie sing this song I nearly ejaculated like a great big horny bull! I mean, there was semen everywhere!---Including some on the lampshade!
Met her Mom, then her after one of many of her concerts in NYC around this time...the real article...genuine...true talent...two guitars and one big voice making all this beautiful music...
I bought this song on itunes, but this live version is better. I have come back to watch this one and others many times of late. Never really knew her. I just remember the brand new key song as a child. What a talent!
My life in 1975 or so.... right before college! And now, a Ruby Tuesday restaurant is about to open next to my office! What goes around, comes around... as they say.....
@cbak12sg There has long been an argument about whether Brian Jones or Keith Richards wrote this song but hey, who cares, it's a great song whatever. Certainly Jagger admitted that he had no part in writing the song!
I like Melanie. She had a style all her own, and did some wonderful stuff in the early 1970s. Definitely a part of the better memories of my high school years!!! Thanks for posting this.
She melted my on the spot.... Completely lost it, she's so beautiful with her voice and strumming.

For some reason, I don't know. Everyday she called her family, her kids in USA.
Still, held out here in the Alpes. Sad, sad girl. She sung this very song and others of her repertoire.
Hope she's allright now, back in the US.

@tobama08 Wonder why I see Justin's name used on almost every video I watch..: /
I barely know who is is, but people use him in a negative manner to compare classical rock to today's music, meaning Beiber... He can't be all that bad..
TheAlysheba 1 year ago
@TheAlysheba are you sure about that? he's a disgusting product and reflection of profit motives as being the impetus for popular music these days.
storybeliever 1 year ago
@storybeliever Am I sure about what? I see him compared to a lot of classic artists on youTube. I don't know much about him, or his music. I assume he's in poplular music, a bubble gummin', teeny boppin', heart throb kinda guy? The teen idols of the 70's and early 80's actually had some talent. I mean David/Shaun Cassidy, Rick Springfield, The Monkees, The Jacksons, Donnie Osmand and clan could SING! Guess I'll listen/watch one of JB's videos here to see how well he does; any suggestions?

@TheAlysheba to be fair, the fella can actually sing quite well. its just easy to hate what everyone else hates.

I saw her St. Patricks Day 1972 Westbury Music Fair First show. She was tired & stressed but still great. She really was bothered by all the people crowding round her, including me.

I bought this song on itunes, but this live version is better. I have come back to watch this one and others many times of late. Never really knew her. I just remember the brand new key song as a child. What a talent!

@aliwhitwell Brian Jones? It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

@cbak12sg There has long been an argument about whether Brian Jones or Keith Richards wrote this song but hey, who cares, it's a great song whatever. Certainly Jagger admitted that he had no part in writing the song!
