Melissa played Carnegie Hall, appeared on network television specials, taped a memorable commercial with Ella Fitzgerald, and released her sixth studio album, Singin'.

The singer-songwriter toured North America's arenas and amphitheaters that summer with Leo Sayer before launching a solo tour in the fall that attracted the attention of none other than Bob Dylan, who attended the Minneapolis date. 1977 was a whirlwind year for Melissa Manchester.
