Melba Moore [2022] - Not Too Late [MoonTown Records]


Perhaps unbeknown to a non US audience, Melba Moore is a star of US theatre, TV and film appearing in the musical "Hair" (1969) and then winning a Tony Award for best supporting actress for her role in "Purlie". She has appeared in movies "All Dogs Go To Heaven" and "The Fighting Temptations" and in TV shows "Falcon Crest" and "Ellis Island" and even had two of her own TV shows, "The Melba Moore Show" and "Melba Moore Clifton Davis Show".

Ms Moore has just turned 79 on 29 Oct and is still going strong in the music world with an album "Imagine" released in April this year, one of the best singles of the year (for me, as it will certainly be in my shortlist of tracks of the year 2022) "Company" with Carmichael Musiclover (along with a few other singles from the album) and now a brand new single "Not Too Late" due next Friday (25 Nov'22).

Her first recording (as Melba Moore) was in 1966 on Musicor which was later picked up on by the UK Northern Soul scene ("Don't Cry Sing Along With The Music") but her first major hit came in 1976 with "This Is It" which peaked at #9 on UK Pop chart.

In the late 70s and early 80s she enjoyed several dance oriented hits such as "You Stepped into My Life", "Pick Me Up, I'll Dance", "Love's Comin' at Ya", "Mind Up Tonight" and "Falling".

Her latest single "Not Too Late" will be available from Herb Middleton Music website on 25 Nov '22.

Very endearing singer who still retains a certain charm. "This is it" from the self-titled album is pure Van McCoy from the 70s.
