Gregg Allman wrote “Melissa” years before the Allman Brothers Band formed — it was one of the first songs he ever felt truly proud of. But for a long time, he couldn’t find the right name for it. He was stuck until one day, while standing in line at a grocery store, he heard a woman call out to her young daughter: “Melissa!” That name instantly clicked, and the song finally felt complete. The track didn’t get recorded until after Duane Allman’s death. The band chose it for the album Eat a Peach
