This signed sheet music is for Melissa by The Allman Brothers Band, autographed by founding member and lead vocalist Gregg Allman. Originally written by Gregg Allman in 1967, Melissa was one of his earliest compositions and a deeply personal ballad. It was first recorded for the band’s 1972 album Eat a Peach, released shortly after the tragic death of Duane Allman. The song stood out for its tender, introspective qualities, contrasting with the band’s fiery Southern rock jams. With its gentle acoustic guitar, heartfelt lyrics, and Gregg’s soulful, world-weary voice, Melissa quickly became one of the Allman Brothers’ most beloved songs. It has since endured as a timeless classic, often associated with Gregg Allman’s ability to blend blues, country, and rock into something deeply emotional and uniquely his own. Gregg Allman (1947–2017) was the heart and soul of The Allman Brothers Band. Known for his smoky, soulful vocals, Hammond B-3 organ work, and deeply personal songwriting, he played a crucial role in shaping the sound of Southern rock. With songs like Melissa, Whipping Post, and Midnight Rider, Allman combined poetic lyricism with raw emotional honesty. Beyond his work with the Allman Brothers, he built a successful solo career and became one of the most respected figures in American music. Owning this signed sheet music for Melissa is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of Southern rock history tied to one of Gregg Allman’s most personal and enduring compositions.
