Melissa Manchester Walk On By

[@jamessullivan6583]

Never thought anyone could sing this song better than Dion Warwick, then came Melissa.

[@amycollins2429]

Goosebumps!!!! Melissa just knocked it out of the park!!! No one else can hold a candle to this song.

[@snarkyenigma9219]

No easy feat making a song covered by countless other artists sound new and fresh, but MM does it. It's actually one of my favorite versions of Walk On By.

[@lamusiclover2264]

One of my all-time favorite singers. Love her. Have every album she ever made

I was an EMT at horseshoe casino tunica in early 2000s. I was coming back from a medical call in the hotel. I noticed this woman walking around like she was lost. I asked her if I could help her, she said she was looking for the pool. I said come on I'll show you where it is. We started talking, she was real sweet lady. I showed her the pool and asked if she needed anything else. She said she needed to know where bluesville was, that was the name of the concert hall there. So I walked her to Bluesville. I said you can't go in there right now Melissa Manchester is about to do sound check, she said honey I am Melissa Manchester. Haha I said don't take this the wrong way but you are way prettier now than yo u were in the 80s. She was real sweet and made me watch her sound check

71 very soon

[@ispcapret1]

I've been a big fan of hers for many years, and this is the first time I've heard her do this Isaac Hayes song- very well done.

[@fool4singing]

It's a Dionne Warwick song...

[@romandojennings5390]

My second favorite rendition of this song

[@ronatopaz2793]

Melissa and Dianne Warwick are friends and label mates, and I’ve just finished watching a documentary which elevated Dianne to almost Goddess status… so I was desperate to hear how one of her songs would be interpreted by one of her friends or a family member. Then I happened across this clip. Thank you for putting Ms Warwick in vocal perspective, Melissa. You are better than her, more than slightly. I could talk about breath control, dynamics etc. But ultimately, with few exceptions, you feel your songs more than Ms Warwick, you live your songs, she just sings them.

[@TombCat]

You're terribly misinformed.

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

YES, " DIONE WARWICK" HAS THAT SPECIAL, UNIQUE TIMBER, TONE, RANGE, & HEARTFUL PIERCING AT TIMES DELIVERY. MELISSA M. (ALL IMOHO) TO ME REMINDS ME OF " JUDY GARLAND' OR DAUGHTER " LIZA MINELLI'S VOCAL ABILITIES AND DELIVERY.STILL, ALWAYS WILL ADORE " DIONE" AND" MELISSA" AND LOVE BURT BACHARCH AND ANDRE PREVIN"S COLLABORATIONS( " VALLEY OF THE DOLLS"(.

[@richyz01]

I tell ya that is good! Great live performer!

[@esquibelle]

Never realized how beautiful she was back then.

[@sandinyourshoes4130]

Yes. Youth is a goldmine.

[@jackmcgovern5929]

I remember seeing her sing this on Johnny Carson. Might this be that performance?

[@hairdisc]

Yes

[@SatawatMedhanee]

Love her!

[@EduardoGrey-p9o]

Magnificent

[@MRJAVIER196619862009]

WHAT A VOICE ! VERY BEAUTIFUL AS WELL !

[@mielschatz]

definitely the best version of Walk On By! So intense and so sad at the same time...

[@felroberto]

True. First time l listened to it did not know former versions but l fell in love with it. Then l listened those versions, they are good but never like Melissa's

[@pejoha]

Fantastic woman!!

[@Braglemaster123]

We love you

[@MRJAVIER196619862009]

IF THIS SONG DOES"NT MOVE YOU I DON"T KNOW WHAT WILL ! MELISSA MANCHESTER - WALK ON BY

[@Orgelmusikmann]

"This Isac Hayes song" How do you figure that??? Just because he did a rendition of this song, that doesn't make it his! The song (music) was written by Burt Bacharach & the words (lyrics) are by Hal David. And NOBODY sings this song better than the original!!! Dionne Warwick

[@Orgelmusikmann]

The song (music) was written by Burt Bacharach & the words (lyrics) are by Hal David. And NOBODY sings this song better than the original!!! Dionne Warwick in 1964.

[@ChaChaDave]

Oh....I don't think so. Manchester has unbeliveable phrasing.

[@MyStorm2012]

I respect your point of view

[@vinobody]

is she from Liverpool?

[@BelfastBailey]

She was born in the Bronx, New York.

[@Orgelmusikmann]

Cyndi Lauper completely butchered this song! I had to stop the video it was horrible!!! But Sheryl Crow's rendition at the White House was AWESOME!!! I got goosebumps listening to that! And it was a special moment with the composer (Burt Bacharach, 84) there in the front row!

[@scottmiller5625]

I don`t think you can cmpare the two.

[@MyStorm2012]

Dionne Warwick would put her in the shade

[@mzmiller52]

i love melissa manchester, especially the early recordings, but cyndi lauper did the best version of this ever, hands down.

[@peterd.9522]

great looks good chops, short on real feeling. at least here.
