Melba: Moore: Pebple Need Each Other - Wonderful Part of Life SATURDAY. AOfiUST 21, 1982-THE CAROLINA TIMES-5 Tuesday Evening NEW YORK . Mclba Moore, the diminutive singer who can stir an audience with her dynamic four octave voice, believes that the key to her success has been learning that ("people really need each other ! and that's a wonderful part of life." , "After I had my daughter, iCharli, five years ago, I knew that one thing I wanted to share with her was how I lived my life interacting with people and enjoying them. That's how she's been raised and she's profiting from it." Miss Moore, who rose to national fame ifl the Broadway production of "Hair" and won a Tony award for "Purlie," is committed to making the best of her life. "When I started to travel a lot on tour," she said, "I got very tired. Then I decided that if I was going to spend my life traveling professionally, I'd better start enjoying it. Now I make it a point to get into the personality of every city I visit," she said. "I look around and approach the city with the attitude of a tourist. It really helps." She recently traveled from her home in New York City to appear at a free concert in Houston sponsored by Salem cigarettes and KCOH, a local radio station. "There's , a certain excite ment about performing at a free outdoor concert," she said. "The people in Houston approached me with 'Hi, Mel' and treated me like one of the family." . During the Salem Spirit ; Street Scene held in Houston's Clinton Park, Miss Moore sang for 45 minutes before a downpour shortened her per formance. Among the favorites she performed was "Lean On Me." i "The crowd in Houston was i good to me," she said. "The audience was mainly from f he ghetto area around the park. Those people might not have had a chance to see the perfor mance if it hadn't been a free concert. It was special for me' to be a part of a festival really meant for people." In addition to live perfor mances, Miss Moore is busy with a coming recording. !"The single will be released in August and the title is 'Love's Comjn At Ya.' It's a song with a 'right now' feeling,", she said. '' Equally at-home before a live audience, in a recording studio or in front of a TV camera. Miss Moore plans to do additional work on televi sion and Broadway. She reaches out to others through her singing because "of a burning need to share and care about others. Even as a teacher, I wanted to work with others. I never fit the mold of a teacher, but I did have the gift of teaching' because I knew that what students needed was training ; on dealing with others." Miss' Moore taught music in public " school before bran-j ching out into entertainment. "It really wasn't that big a dif ference," she said. "I come from an entertainment family and teaching prepared me to get out in front of Others and gave me the self confidence, that I needed." Miss Moore thrives on her active schedule. "I'm one of those who believes that a challenge is a necessary part of life it makes the rewards so much better," she said. "Fortunately for me, no matter how much is written on the arts, you still have to ex perience them. That's where I icome in. I stay busybringing my music to the people." ft J v IS ICGLLAPS-A-111T A HAT FOB ALL REASONSI Handmade M-fathkm Straw Hat that coma outof abagorpocktL Unfolds, always looking perfect Light-weight .
