23 was much too young to lose your life how unfair. She had everything going for her; young, beautiful and successful. RIP Mel ❤ you will never be forgotten.

Kim is such a devoted sister. When Mel had a wig, Kim got a wig/ hair extensions the same. Mel list her hair, Kim got hers cropped too.

Being a Hackney boy, one thing that really impressed me with Mel & Kim is that despite their huge success they didn’t change. Just two gorgeous down to earth girls having a great time in the limelight. It’s so sad that Mel was robbed of her life at such a young age.

They look stunning with their hair short. They have great bone structure and their really beautiful faces and so sad that one girl died of cancer. Rest in peace, baby.

Even watching this interview all these years on, still brings a lump to my throat thinking of Mel losing her battle. She really was gorgeous and had such a filthy laugh. I am sorry she was taken so soon. Lovely Mel, always remembered. if anyone is to take anything from this is that tomorrow is never promised for any of us

Melanie Susan Appleby will never get old like we did. Mel is eternal, just like our love for her. What beautiful, talented, humble and brave ladies. Respect(able). Xox

I'm aware of what happened to Mel, but this is the first time I've seen these interviews & I've got tears in my eyes. Bless her. I hope she's up there singing her little heart out. Gone never forgotten.💖😢

Mel and Kim were one of the best acts in the 80's. I remember crying for ages after Mel died. Two very talented singers who had their careers cut shut by a cruel illness.

31 years...so sad. Both sisters seem refreshingly earthy. Their records still spark off waves of nostalgia...

She was beautiful!!! RIP Melanie.

RIP Melanie Appleby (July 11, 1966 - January 18, 1990), aged 23 You will be remembered as a legend.

It breaks my heart. They made absolute bangers of tunes. I was only about 9 when they were in the charts but I would have loved to have been able to dance to their stuff in clubs.

A lovely brave lady who was an inspiration . I have just had surgery for cancer , thankfully I did not need chemo & have been told I am in the clear but until you experience something like that you cannot begin to understand how it feels to be told you have the illness so I can empathise with her . Mel was a beautiful , down to earth person with a lot of talent . Only the good die young so they say . RIP Mel , you are missed very much .

She 's so strong and brave. Most of us act like the world is ending over the silliest shit.

god bless you Mel R.I.P

The energy splashes off the screen : such nice, enthousiastic, beautiful ladies, full of energy, full of plans ... how unfair can it be ? RIP Melanie, was a huge fan of the smashing hits & dance moves ...

Until the last moment, they struggled together. Love is their universal message

Loved Mel and Kim still miss Mel

mel & kim made history and will always be remembered as beautiful & talented trendsetters. RIP Mel xx

I had a massive crush on Mel. She was beautiful. They were the coolest thing to hit the charts at that time.

So so sad, Mel was such a beautiful soul, still missed

poor girl only 23 when she died, rip Mel

They never learn Busty. Savages the press. Nearly cried watching this. How can it happen to someone so full of life and so young? Cancer can do one! Bastard thing. RIP Mel xxx

Just watching Top Of The Pops: The Story Of 1987. I see the videos and tunes and it brings lots of great memories of my late teenage years. We partied to your time with beautiful people all around. Thanks for the great tunes. May your sister's beautiful soul continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord🙏🏿. London E10 reprezentin'!

She was a fighter till the end, I was teenager and I adored them, thinking they were twins. 29 years later and still know all the songs and dancing movements. Damn cancer, always takes the good ones.

Mel was AMAZING! Even after all these years it's still a shock that she is no longer with us. Thanks for the video, great to hear that laugh again. x

god bless her..beautiful souls both the sisters and so talented!

Fantastic duo! I really loved their music. RIP Mel!

RIP Mel shocking to be taken so young you were amazing loved you both

I was at henly rewind on the 17th august 2019. Kim sang and kept mentioning her stunning sister. Very emontional❤

Their career would have lasted for a very long time had Mel not passed away.. It's tragic

Respectable is such a classic song. wherever its played Mel will not be forgotten.

God bless you Mel. You were truly an inspiration to us all. You bore your illness with great courage. My you live forever in our hearts. Sadly missed to this day. 💔

So sad hearing Mel being excited about a future which never came.

Thank you again for sharing this video. They looked great with the short hair and even if Mel was seriously ill, she was so beautiful... I can't believe she died a year later...

The love for the girls hasnt faded even over 30 years later....

Poor little Mel, I remember Respectable comining out in '87, It always reminds me of going for heart surgery in march '87, then I remember a few years later her dying of cancer 😢

Thanks to mel and kim, your music's was just fine

Fuck Cancer!!! Hope you Rest In Peace Mel!! So early to leave! Sad story indeed! Guess Kim miss her sister every day!!

Love their attitude, even when talking about something so seriuos we still get to hear that infectious laugh of hers! I love the fact that they didn't care whether they had any further success as Mel & Kim and were only interested in Mel being well. proper stars!! not the fame hungry stars of today! Loved em! Still do x x

They are both so lovely . I have been a fan since the first song and I listen to them every day. Amazing people. RIP Mel xxx

I remember when their song "Respectable" was first released, if my memory serves me right it was about the late 80's....1988, or so......yeah I'm an 80's guy, and proud of it.

the press should be ashamed of temselves following kim when she visited mel in hospital could'nt they see poor mel was ill

80's legends , gorgeous girls!..poor Kim.will have missed her beautiful sister over 30 years now .Rest in eternal peace Mel .xxxx

These beautiful sisters will always be my heroes and inspiration. My family has been affected by cancer too.

rest in peace Mel, such a shame

2:15-2:23 Mel's face makes me sad as i can feel the pain showing on her face.thank you ssssssssoooooo much for this .... also prior to the wogan interview which was the last one ever Mel and kim Forever

Bless both sisters . Mel will always be remembered , Always was a fan since the early days

Mel still looks stunning here.

Great musical act, who had songs you liked; sad in Mel's passing, better than a lot of singers today.

Beautiful & Brave, Heaven is a much richer place❤

Mel still had that sparkle in her eyes bless her !

God bless you Mel I can't believe how long you been gone xxxxx

I'll be honest - I cried through the whole interview. I love Mel & Kim. They were a great team. And I only learned yesterday that Mel was one of my favorite girls from Mayfair and Players magazines (nudes). I just never out the two together. She was so beautiful and sexy. This video makes me very sad. She was so young and talented and I know that it really hurt Kim. It shows in later interviews with her. There will never be another like them and certainly isn't today. They were awesome! Luv them

R.I.P. Mel.

Amazing ladies xx 💞

Such a shame, i so loved their music and performance. Two lovely ladies.

Wow, thanks for posting this great interview. I loved and still love Mel & Kim. They we're the greatest!!! In the 80's no one was singing live, but Mel & Kim could really sing live. They have strong vocals. But that's not the most importent thing. Cause their S.A.W. tunes needed to be heared in the clubs very loud. Melanie, I still think about you. And Kim, you are the best.

Awwwwwweee I miss her.

Lovely girl, young, succsecful and God take her life. Maybe he need her for better. I prefert think about this. Because she was an Angel.

They were just cool.

such brave and beautiful women much love to you both and peace be with you Mels!! :D

Bless you Mel...R.I.P. you and Kim both brought joy...

I am only now aware of Mel & Kim. "You will feel alot better" is my favorite.

Mel died too soon RIP Mel Appleby x

God bless her precious soul ♥️🌟♥️

On the bright side..Mel & Kim released nothing but amazing singles. But seriously...Anne Diamond..”is one of the down sides losing your looks”?!? What a fucking thing to ask a cancer patient.

thank you ssssssssoooooo much for this memory and also prior to the wogan interview which was the last one ever Mel and kim Forever

rip Mel. Mel & Kim will always be a bright star in the sky.

what a lovely comment brought me to tears

Proper London girls. Loved them ❤️🙋‍♀️🇬🇧

You can tell that they were very close.R.I.P. Melanie.

Reminds me of my best friend Beverly and also became to be my sister in-law, God Bless you Bev ,this just reminds me off us at Joplins ,Drumkeen ,Belfast, Miss you my friend x.

They will forever be... Respectable!!! 😢❤️❤️🙏🏻💕💕💕

Melanie, we will never forget You!

Loved their music, they looked great danced great and had superb hits, cant believe it's been 32 years since we lost lovely Mel. Definitely no justice in the world.

Dear Mel, you'll never be forgotten.

Kim a great sister.

Such lovely girls. RIP Mel.

Rest in peace beautiful ❤

Love mel&kim RIP Melaine

Rest in peace lovely heart

23 is no age bless her RIP Mel

R.I.P. God Bless you Mel

Looove them 2023 ❤❤❤❤❤

Even if mel had lost some of her looks those girls could have still been huge like mega successful. Just glad to have been there during those few years in the 80s...... Just found out the hit "Thats the Way it is" was their take on Mels cancer........a what a superb tune. I miss them even though Kym is still flying the flag.

I was such a huge fan and I ad no idea until she was gone. I heard ridiculous rumours that she had been in a car accident and then later died. It wasn’t actually until 2 days ago that i found these girls on Spotify and danced around my room that i realised she actually died from cancer …..this made me so upset because how horrible would it be to have just started in your career and be soooo young and then have your death sentence. I will always fondly remember these girls from my childhood and that’s what counts they made their mark and left amazing memories….. broke the mould …pushed boundaries.

Mel rimarrai sempre nei nostri cuori

What amazing lovely girls.

Always the good go young. So so sad and tragic.

repose en paix Mel

Mel was a beauty.rip x

Thanks. Never seen this before. Mel & Kim are brilliant, but their story's so tragic.

R.I.P

God Bless.

Bless her. I remember her dying. So sad. Only 23.

Cancer doesn't discriminate, it's a disease I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy, Mel....you are sorely missed..

@bananaramatube I hadn't seen it either until getting a copy yesterday. So sad that Mel seems to be getting better here, but was gone a year later.

RIP.. xXx❤️
