my family knew mel street and he was a good person. when we lived at welch,w.va he would visit and have supper with us. also when he lived there at bluewell,w.va he would visit my family alot. we was in w.va over the weekend and its sad to see where he use to live knowing what a good person he was. he will always be sadly missed and he had a great voice.

MY Nanna talked about Mel all the time. She used to baby sit him when he was little. He would visit her at Garden Creek and bring her 8 track tapes of his music. She always said he was a "Gentleman" and never believed he killed himself. He wasn't the type to do drugs . He was a great singer and the world only saw the tip of his talent. He will indeed be missed by this family and by the world.

Very interesting. Is Berry Hollow near Rosin Gap, or is it Camp? Were Rell and Callie Street grandparents, and if so why wasn't he with parents? Where did he go to school, and did he finish high school? Indeed, a very handsome man and no singer is his equal.
