And while the most successful singers often harbor secret fantasies of acting, Melba has that aspect of her career well under control. She won a Tony Award for her Broadway performance in Purlie, and she's planning to re-create her role in an upcoming motion picture version of Purlie. Melba has also been seen on Broadway in Timbuktu, and on television in the popular children's special, The Big Blue Marble. Perhaps there was one thing left for Melba Moore to do, and she has turned some heads by do ing it on her new Epic Records album, Burn. Most female singers are content t perform songs written for them. But Melba has take her music into her own hands cowriting thej lyrics and the melodies of all the album's songs. And the songs she has written are a lot hotter than anyone might have ex pected. Take the words to the song "Hot N Tasty" as an example: "Fellin' just rightSteppin our tonightGonna git some actionGet out and get off tonightI like it hot 'n tastyI'm gonna set somebody on fire." The album also has its share of street language, as the single "Miss Thing" at tests. According to Melba, however, people will miss the -point if they try to analyze this new lyrical development too careful ly. "I just want people to have fun with me," she states firmly. "Thatjs why I wrote and sang the' kinds of songs I did. I don't want to be in such a serious mood all the time, and I don't want people to take me so seriously. -fry
