The Allman Brothers Band – "Melissa" Signed Sheet Music

Autographed by Founding Member Gregg Allman

This authentic piece of rock history features sheet music for "Melissa", individually autographed by founding member, legendary vocalist, and primary songwriter Gregg Allman.

Released in August 1972 as the second single from the band’s landmark fourth studio album Eat a Peach, "Melissa" quickly became one of the group’s most beloved ballads and a defining masterpiece of Southern rock. Originally penned by Gregg Allman in 1967 well before the band's formation, the track beautifully captures the era's themes of melancholy, road-weary loneliness, and the eternal longing for home. Driven by a tender acoustic guitar melody, sweeping lead guitar lines crafted by Dickey Betts, and Allman’s signature soulful, aching vocals, the song effortlessly blends folk, country-rock, and blues into a timeless tribute to the wandering soul.

While it wasn't a massive chart topper upon its initial release, it solidified its place as a deeply emotional fan favorite and a poignant monument to the band's history, recorded as a special tribute to Duane Allman, who cherished the tune as his absolute favorite song his brother ever wrote.
