Fans Speak - Melba Moore's Guestbook

Melba, please come back  to Houston... I got to see you at the Miller Outdoor Theatre and you were simply wonderful!  If you heard someone screaming your name, that was me! I love your angelic voice, your talent and your spirit. I fell in love with your spirit when I was a teenager.  I followed you in Purlie, I raced through homework to watch you and Clifton Davis in your variety show.  I thought you and Clifton Davis were the perfect couple ( l loved Clifon too).  I was so disappointed when you two separated.  And have always I loved your music. When I heard "Lean On Me"  for the first time, that was it for me.. It still remember how your voice just brought chills all over me.. I still have the album.  I remember setting the turn table arm to play that song over and over again.  There aren't many artists I  go "coo coo for coco puff" over, but you are certainly one of them - Prince is the other... Pure god-given talent... All -around talent.  You do it all.  I truly missed you... Please bring your one woman show  to Houston   You are a gem! SAC

Hello, Melba Moore You are such an inspiration to me. I remember seeing you on T.V. acting in the play "Pearlie" I was so impressed. You could do so many things with your voice and your acting was phenomenal. I recently had to perform a monologe of the biblical character Queen Esther at a Women's retreat in Gatlinberg Tennessee, and I drew from what I remembered seeing you perform years ago in the play "Pearlie". The women at the retreat loved my perfomace. I also saw you on TBN Christian Broadcating Televsion in an interview. Melba Moore, I sure would love to meet you in person one day. Will you make that happen for me? You are such a talented woman. Blessings to you! Denise Gordon Cincinnati, Ohio

Hello Ms. Moore,

I have been trying to find the movie you played in 1981 "Purlie" I am trying to find it for my mom. She will be 75 years old, and she would love to see the play again. I remember seeing it when I was about seven. Can you tell me where I can get a copy.

Good Day,

 

God Bless to you and your family.  Many years ago, you met my mother and her children.  I remember you very well.  My mother's name was Mozelle and she was a very good and close friend of Doc's (Charles Gallery).  My mother passed away several years ago and I had wanted to locate Doc.   If there is any way that you can help, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you.

First: For all those who would like to have a DVD of Purlie with Melba Moore: MovieLead is a Hollywood company which provides old move/video footage to the industry. The video and audio weren't exactly High Def., but it's all there for $50: 866-259-2136.

Second: I feel like know Melba Moore, though I never met her in person! She attended Montclair State College's Music Department a few years before I started my Masters there in voice and theater arts. In addition, we both taught music in Newark Public School District.

Even though I now live in Texas, I still manage to get back to NYC every couple of years to see the best of the Broadway theater.

With all my years of seeing shows and (in what seems like a past lifetime) performing professionally in shows (AE), I can say,

without a doubt, that the singularly most astounding vocal performance I ever saw on stage was Melba Moore in Purlie. I went back 3 times to see her.

Now that I have a DVD of her performance, I have played it for others who are also amazed.

THANKS MELBA!! for giving me an unforgettable experience in the theater.
