I sat down with the legendary Melba Moore on “Conversations Of A Sistah” last night and the energy was electric!
Ms. Moore was so graceful and engaged as I asked her some of the questions you, (my blog readers) so wanted to know.
The interview is authentic!! As you will see my energy and excitement when Ms. Moore braced the camera. I simply couldn’t contain myself.
Enjoy the conversation and sound off in the comment section below!
Tony Award winner, Soprano songbird, and 3-time Grammy nominee, Melba Moore who has conquered Broadway in memorable roles such as, HAIR (1967), PURLIE (1970) and became the first Black woman to inhabit the role of Fantine in LES MISERABLES (1995) has conquered it all.
Born October 29, 1945, Beatrice Melba Smith, Moore grew up in the Harlem section of New York until age nine, when her mother remarried, jazz pianist Clement Leroy Moorman and the family relocated to Newark, New Jersey. Her countless hits such as “Read my lips”, “This is it” “Fallin” and my personal favorite, “You stepped into my life” has helped to make her a global success for more than fifty years.
Now in her riveting new book, “This is it” Ms. Moore takes you on the highs and lows of her career and talk about how she’s had to pivot time and again in an industry that didn’t always know what to do with a petite powerhouse with a big voice.
Melba’s new memoirs, “This Is It – Marvelous…And Getting Better”, will be available in November 2025 via Amazon Books. Ms. Moore shares many aspects of her career and life, as well as how she navigated the successes and challenges that came her way.
Melba will join me this week on “Conversations Of A Sistah” as we discuss her book and illustrious career. Sound off in the comment section below, with the questions you’d like me to ask Ms. Moore.
A child is not fit to make a determination about their sexuality.
And Dewayne Wade’s BOYS SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WITH THEIR MOTHER!
If Siovaugn’s son had become a “girl” in her custody, Dwade and Gabriel would have dragged her into every court calling her crazy and unfit but because it happened under their watch it’s cute and trendy and a gay pride and rights cause and calling now they’re calling in celebrity gays to consult them. Really? I think it’s a disgrace and I see straight through the agenda!!
When Dwade and Gabriel Union ripped the boys from their mother, The judge ordered those boys traumatized with no contact with their mother for 30 days to sever the mother child bond and it’s been reported they cried for their mother and Dwade and Gabby co signed that traumatic break. One son, the younger one, did not recover from the trauma. Dwade failed him as a father by spiting his mother at the expense of the son’s well being. Gabriel Union is EVIL and capitalizing on a child’s pain and now on a child’s confusion.
Dwade Wade and Gabriel Union are unfit and destroyed that child’s masculinity, sense of self, and self image. They socialized him to win favor with Hollywood’s gay agenda. Proof is this kid is not living a private confused gay child life but they are parading him around and putting his struggle on blast for their own narcissism.
My heart BREAKS for Dr. Siovaighn Funches, the boys real and biological mother.
Bill Cosby looked despondent in a mew mugshot photo that was taken at a jail near the Montgomery County courthouse in Philadelphia where he was sentenced to 3-10 years in prison.
The 81-year-old was convicted of three counts of drugging and molesting a former Temple University staffer at his home in 2004.
Cosby will spend the next 3 years at a state medical prison facility. He must serve at least 75% of the minimum 3 year sentence before he is eligible for release.
The comedian was reportedly served vanilla pudding on his first evening behind bars, according to The Blast. Cosby was a spokesman for Jell-O brand pudding for many years.
In addition to pudding, Cosby was fed a meal that consisted of a chicken patty with gravy, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables and an iced tea juice packet.
His menu will be upgraded when he is moved from jail to a state prison medical facility in Pennsylvania. Cosby is legally blind and he is reportedly in poor health.
60 women came forward to accuse the comedian of drugging and sexually assaulting them over 4 decades.
Actress Charlize Theron is seen visiting the Federal Building in Los Angeles with her adopted son Jackson Theron in tow. The 6-year-old boy wore a cute onesie and his hair in braids with colorful beads. Charlize love to dote this little boy dressed like a girl for the camera.
I wonder if young Jackson knows that he is a boy, as he often looks confused since he may prefers stereotypical feminine attire. Charlize also has an adopted daughter, August.
