Some how when listening to the song, as a 'Melissa',(or not), you can get lost in the lyrics. I admire, respect and love the song still, so much so, that I brought another "Melissa" into the world 20 years ago. Now she and I have more than a name in common, now we are BOTH stars in an awesome Allman Brothers song. Thanks so much for making all the "Melissa's" feel so "Sweet". Sweet Melissa, form Georgia. Sweet and Sad | Reviewer: paul ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band I have loved this song about a traveling man.the Gypsy! It touched my soul the first time i heard it and has been my favorite Alman Bros. song since then, a very long time ago. Thanks for many happy/sad hours of listening pleasure! even though you may not be here any longer, to see this. my sweet daughter | Reviewer: heather ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band I named my daughter melissa after the song ! I love the song and I hope that one day my daughter can listen to it with me and know that I loved her so much . Its a fantastic song and i have been a fan of the band for along time !! Amazing live | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Whipping Post performed by The Allman Brothers Band I got to see the Allman Brothers live a couple of years ago at a music festival near my hometown...wow. I love their music, and this song, along with Soulshine, were amazing live. To my sweet Melissa | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band When my wife and I learned that we were going to have a little girl, there was no doubt in my mind that she would be named Melissa... Mainly after the Allman Brothers' tune that has been with me since I realized what music can do to one's soul. My wife did not even try to find another name as she also loves it, although she had never heard the song. Melissa was born this pas Friday December 7th and is all I could ever want. Sweet and beautiful, for the gypsy in me! To all Melissas' out there... stay sweet! Can you feel what he is singning? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Whipping Post performed by The Allman Brothers Band Man. This song is just about the best rock and roll blues tune ever. This is Americas answer to Led Zeppelins rock/blues. The lead guitar and vocals at the end of this tune says it all. How someone could listen and not close their eyes and feel what this guy is trying to say is beyond me. One of the great classics of all time. Fabolus Sound (killer vocals and early slide guitar) | Reviewer: Jim Bass ------ About artist/band The Allman Brothers Band From when they were "31th Feburary" tell Greggs latest tour with "Gregg and Friends" They are hot. From "BB" to southern Blues and beyound. hey | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Jessica performed by The Allman Brothers Band there is lyrics to the song but its not sung by the allman bro's its another singer dunno who he is though. he just used the backing Dad didn't win that fight. | Reviewer: Amber Melissa ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band Well, my Dad wanted so bad for my first name to be Melissa, after the song of course! But Mom had other ideas...so he settled for giving me (Sweet) Melissa as a middle name. You know how people see your middle initial sometimes and try to guess your name. They never guess mine...then when they give up I tell them about the song and how my Dad named me after it. It's cool to see I share a story with so many other Sweet Melissa's. Thank you Allman Brothers for my beautiful middle name. I LOVE IT! love it | Reviewer: Melissa ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band I never knew this song existed until I was 18. One of the teachers at my high school (who I am in love with) sang it to me one day. It was the greatest feeling in the world hearing him sing "sweet Melissa" to me! Every time I hear it I think of him, and it makes me so happy. sweetist of all ... sweet melissa | Reviewer: joe arroya ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band I've always loved this song. It is a song of creme de la creme. No matter who or where the gypsie always runs to Melissa...the sweet of sweet. I met a girl Melissa 9 yrs ago. I fell in love with her. Such a wonderfully spirited girl. She's moved on. Has a different life now as do I. I still see her beautiful eyes and smiling face and think of her as I listen to "Sweet Melissa". Great Song! Modern Blues | Reviewer: John Retta ------ About the song Worried Down With The Blues performed by The Allman Brothers Band IMHO, quite possibly the best Blues song written and performed in the last 15 years. Bravo Warren, R.I.P. Allen My sweet Melissa | Reviewer: Jaik ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band A big fan of Kerouac, I've always had a bit of the gypsy gene in me. Living in Ohio, I met my sweet Melissa online and recently travelled to New Zealand to meet her. Now, comes this gypsy's journey to find a way back home to her. Love this song, it's helped me sleep better since I had to come back to the states. Im a Sweet Melissa :) | Reviewer: Melissa ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band 17 years ago, my dad got what he's always wanted: a little girl. Ever since he was my age now, its been his favorite song. Its so cool to know that when he was 17 he already knew what to name me-10 years before i was even born. This song makes the name all the more special. i never knew there were so many sweet melissas! Best name in the world :) i wouldn't change it for anything. Yet another Melissa... | Reviewer: Melissa ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band My father had originally wanted to name me Piper, (after Pink Floyd's first album!)but settled for the tamer Melissa at my mother's behest. I know my mom likes the name simply for itself, but to my musical father I've always been "Sweet Melissa". 09/08/2007 | Reviewer: Melissa DelFavero ------ About the song Melissa performed by The Allman Brothers Band 13 years ago when I was born my mom (Chris) and dad (Allen) had a hard time naming me.
