The legendary Melba Moore!
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.
Mid-term Ads and Election – Plus all the Drama – this weeks Conversation!
Like most of you, I know you’ll be glad when this mid-term election is over!! The tight race in Georgia and all the other states that will determine a house take over is all the talk in the media. Let’s not even start with the Hershel Rawls abortion scandal, as he’s up against incumbent Raphael Warnock. Then we have Stacey Abrams trailing behind Georgia’s incumbent Republican Governor, Brian Kempt.
The ads are nasty, ruthless and annoying! To top that off, you have Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attacked with a hammer in their San Francisco mansion. So in a country so widely divided what side will survive?

‘” I’m Sorry” Remorseful or Convenience? on Wednesday’s “Conversation Of A Sistah”
Kim Potter, the police woman who fatally shot Dante Wright said “sorry” repeatedly as she addressed Wright’s family in the court room before sentencing on Friday. The former Minneapolis police officer said she confused or mistook her handgun for her taser.
Potter was convicted in December of first- and second-degree manslaughter in the April 11 killing of Wright, a 20-year-old Black motorist, she was sentenced on Friday to two years in prison. Only on the more serious charge in accordance with state law. Wright’s family denounced the sentence as too lenient and accused the judge of giving more consideration to the white officer than the Black victim.
Speaking before the sentence was imposed, Potter was shaking and tearful. A much different image from that shown in her smiling mugshot.
Potter offered an apology to Wright’s family, then spoke directly to his mother: “Katie, I understand a mother’s love. I’m sorry I broke your heart … my heart is broken and devastated for all of you.”
Join us on the air as we discuss “Sorry” – Is it always remorseful or a word of convenience?”
Please note: “Conversations Of A Sistah” will no longer air on Blog Talk Radio, Ms. Bell will air live on her Conversations Of A Sistah YouTube channel exclusively.
