Mel was great! You never hear anyone talk about him, or any of his music on the radio. Fortunate for me, my Dad really liked him and had his greatest hits tape when I was a kid. I remember listening to Mel when I was very very young. I always liked him and his songs. No doubt he was one of country's greatest singers! They just don't sing like that anymore! I love it!!!!

Mel was one of the greatest of Country Singers we have ever had! What a shame we didn't have him around very long. He was originally from my home state of West Virginia......Roger

He tried to sound like George Jones, and told Jones that. George Jones risked arrest leaving Alabama and going into Nashville ( for a number of outstanding warrants) to visit his wake and sing a hymn for Mel. The cops were tipped off and stayed away so that George could pay his respects.

Hay!!!!! I love Mel's singing and I, do not need to sling mud at his memory nor should any one else. Let's remember the man and his talent and be glad we had him in our lives for a precious short time.

He used to pick around here a lot. I met him and the Borrowed Angels over in the Kings Mountain area when I was learning 'steel'. 'steel' player was 19, taught me not to 'whine'. Mel Street, one of my favorites.

Does anyone KNOW when Mike Johnson was in Mel's band, he played steel guitar for Mel for awhile, and he later played for MANY YEARS with Bill Anderson's band, the PO' Folks... now a session/studio steel player in Nashville I think? thanks. I used to have a CRUSH on Mike Johnson back in the Sunset Park (West Grove, PA) days, lol; was just wondering...
