  • Great work!!

  • His daughters were identical twins Wendy and Susannah Mevloin from Prince and the Revolution and the Family fame. His son is the late Jonathan Melvoin who was a touring keyboardist for the Smashing Pumkins before he died of a drug overdose in 1996 at the young age of 34. RIP Mike Melvoin a great musical icon.

  • R.I.P MIKE MELVOIN AND BILLY STRANGE---two great studio musician legends.

    I met Mike Melvoin once,and his daughter Wendy twice.

  • Rest in peace, Mike Melvoin. My father went to Dartmouth with him and I always enjoyed hearing the latest about Mr. Melvoin and his WONDERFUL family. His daughters were Wendy & Lisa of Prince & The Revolution and his son was the late keyboard player for Smashing Pumpkins.

    A life well lived and a great man.

  • Bob, thanks so much for all this effort in making such a beautiful memento for everyone treasure.

  • Mike plays several different versions of this wonderful song, each one unique unto itself, and you will find yourself replaying it in your head later on, very catchy tune, indeed! I never get tired of playing Mikes music. He is a master!!
