It's now 2024 and I have just been reaquainted with Melissa and her music...this is the FIRST time I have heard her so this song, just only heard Rod Stewart do it...OMG! Her stage presence is amazing as well as those facial expressions...INCREDIBLE! I am so glad I caught this!!

[@pattimurphyrocks]

I have always loved her. This performance is so great, my god she is compelling, funny and so engaged! Just a brilliant artist and performer. Girl is a rock star!

[@michaelmiller5877]

Perfect person to cover this song!

[@rstevens1836]

Rod Stewarts original version of this is legendary, but Melissas cover of this made me love the song even more. ❤🎶

[@kelleewolfe2834]

Seven Yeats later.. I knew this was gonna be an excellent cover..❤

[@YessssssHazel]

I’m a huge ME fan and this cover is one of my favorite covers of all time. Love Rod and Melissa both. 70s song but Melissa’s version brings me back to the 90s. ❤

Went to see LittleFeat up in Maine a long time ago and this girl we never heard of was opening for them”Melissa Etheridge”…She came out and BLEW EVERYONE AWAY…She won over the whole crowd with a smokin version of this song…I said to my buddy-“She’s gonna be a giant star!”…A month later you couldn’t turn on a radio without hearing Melissa…She made it big,And deserves every single bit of it.❤️

[@mindybondell9999]

Absolutely stunning. Electric. May Melissa and her family find some kind of peace during this unimaginable time in their lives while mourning her son who passed recently❤🙏

[@cskiles318]

Unbareable pain I was thinking at the time then on June 6th I lost my adult son to addiction. Nothing stops the pain 😢

[@kyliepollert8341]

This was included as a bonus track on the "I'm the Only One" CD single in 1994.

[@kk33613]

Forgot to mention that I love John Shanks on the mandolin. I've always thought that when he is playing with Melissa that it improves her performance. As good as Rod Stewart's original recording is I prefer Melissa's rendition. She adds the gusto that the song needs. I've seen her cover many songs but this is my favorite cover.

[@maggiemay7541]

I'm a Maggie may..... Amazing 🤩

[@HestersMusicVideos]

Such coincidence!

[@thomasbenson2657]

Oh wow how ironic

[@thielees]

Hey, there was one at my high school. Born in 1967

[@CrystalTwinStar]

Love her! She's so bad~ass!

[@kk33613]

I actually watched this performance on a VH1 Special. Takes me straight back to 1994. Lafayette, Louisiana in our condo on North Simcoe St. Really good days.

[@erinp8878]

I saw her sing this live - and I think it was 1994! I remember it so clearly- that’s why I’m here so many years later.

[@MarMarLog]

Speaking as a Maggie, I really appreciate that she takes "I wish I had never seen your face" out of the arrangement

[@RAllen-ui4cg]

She sang those words towards the end

[@Lori-401]

Haha!

[@spencer7703]

It’s a song🤔

[@heydeanie]

It's a love & loss song...

[@themaggattack]

😆 Ikr? Of all the love songs to share a name with! "The morning sun really shows your age." Rude! 😤😂

Thanks to Hester for this…sending another great cover back at him! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nX-yq3R_oMxjf5Y

[@livervid]

Is this available on mp3?

[@Rozzar1]

Brilliant! Thank you Hester. Have watched loads and loads of your MLE uploads. May be stating the obvious, but guess you know about the www.cincheetah.com/ site? I used to get all my MLE stuff there in the old days. May be something you haven't get got (but unlikely I appreciate)!

[@HestersMusicVideos]

Hey, yes I’m aware of that website, but I never got my stuff from there. I also think it’s no longer maintained. I got some from friends, some I bought (e.g. there was this fan who had a little business in selling bootlegs and stuff) and I found most myself. If you got any tips, let me know🙂

[@raymondpierotti8414]

Compare this with the weak version done by Sid and Suzie. This is a man's song, but from a lesbian perspective, it fits well with Melissa and her style.

[@gnrsgl]

If Rod was a girl...

[@LANTOR317]

Was Maggie a groomer?

[@cskiles318]

The morning sun when it’s in your face really shows your age. 😳 made me dislike this song and I had teen skin at the time. Still thought what a mean line.

[@HestersMusicVideos]

ME feels the same about that line🤨Check out this song around the 11:30 mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4PGp32wha6Fl5I

[@cskiles318]

Thanks for that tip. She made it right. What an awful lyric

[@heydeanie]

Nah the line is saying their age difference didn't matter... I actually always liked that line lol

I wouldn't want to meet those evil eyes in a back alley?

I’m a huge fan and have always said she sings with her eyes along with her amazing voice and instruments.

She looks like Emilio Esteves but he sounds better.
