Melanie performs "Peace Will Come (According to Plan)"

From the November 4, 1970 episode of the Johnny Cash Show. It's a terrific song and a stellar performance, but the audio is A.F.U. If anybody has the technical acumen to take the background buzz off the original file, drop me a line.

Love this song, sadly it took me 3 weeks to find it. Watched her on the Johnny Cash show. Anyone know where I can get a better quality of this song, please let me know? ^_^

@serpentorch Hey, sorry it took so long to find it. I just went in and expanded the tags. Back when I uploaded this, I had no idea what I was doing. Do me a favor, if you find a cleaner copy will you pass it along to me?

Thanks

Brand New Key was so popular, it propelled her into bigger and less intimate venues. The mega star experience started taking away from the essence of who she was as a singer and she stepped back from the limelight, had children and raised her family. She never vanished, she's always been around. I don't think she really wanted to be a big star. She still performs and she's still a delight. A wonderful singer and beautiful person.

Only Melanie had her Token Wail!!! I mean no one else sounds like her. No one ever sounded like her, and no one will ever sound like her again.

wow. I think this is one of her best performances! my other favorite is when she does this song on Ed Sullivan with everybody sitting around her.

she will always be the high priestess to mankind.No one could change that!

@1955c I know I shake my head in wonder when people ask why she wasn't a bigger star. SHE WAS A HUGE STAR. I mean look at the hits on her videos decades later in the hundreds of thousands. Her Lay Down is one of the all time best songs ever.

He had all sorts of musicians on that show. He had a very broad taste in music. He himself recorded all sorts of music. He was Country, Rock, and Folk.

She was out there putting her heart & soul into her performance. A rarity.

[1955c]

it's not just her in genuis beyond one of a kind voice. it's her music as well. her comopositions to man kind .i don't think, rather i know no one on this planet or others has written more songs then the genuis melanie safka.it's so amazing how many of her songs were used in movies, commercials,etc and still continue to this very day . i don't think she's famous she's beyond famous. oh not to mention how many of her songs became hits . how many other singers have tried to cover her songs,cheers

Melanie's sincerity and optimism reflected a big part of the youth of the 60's. Her music was probably a little too innocent for the cynical turn things took after Woodstock.
