Melba Moore Falling

One of my favorite artists from the 1980's I love all her work.This song had to be one of my all time favorites she sung. Falling came out in 1986 and was released on Capitol Records.I take no credit for the video all rights belong too Melba Moore and Capitol Records.
Enjoy

Because of that Exhusband /Manager who took all of her money and lied saying Melba was unstable and on crack.She was reduced to Welfare and public transportation. Sadly Her Daughter abandoned her to "get on the money train" I actually ran into her one day in the 90's getting off of a bus and I told her how much I loved Her Music and I will be praying for her. She seemed a bit Surprised and Affected. All I wanted to do was hug her really. But I am so Glad my prayer was answered and she is better than Ever.

[@kelitamiles7270]

Truth IS stranger than fiction. This Video is partly Autobiographical. If only some of our Artists learn from their own music perhaps they could have changed things. The Gift of music is so Magical. Advice to Female Artists : Do Not make your Husband your Manager.

[@Daequanbeats]

i wish i could meet her

[@chrissyb.7583]

Wow~ I was a big fan of hers growing up too. Then in the early 2000’s I would see her every morning while on my way to work. We would walk right past each other in Times Square train station. She was on her way to work too. She really is amazing. ❤️

[@jayelove1504]

@@kelitamiles7270...I totally agree....sign your own checks like Oprah....Melba was very very wealthy aka rich at one time....sleeping with the enemy...a greedy, self serving enemy....later on he got greedy and lying to others like Emmitt Smith, Steve Harvey etc....his trifling ass ended up in prison.....I don't know if he's still there, but oh well!!!!

Thank you Katt Williams for paying for her star.

2024 Katt Williams brought me here

[@ptieshanez2495]

same here! Praise the Lord, God gave us an amazing woman. Jesus Christ blessed her with an incredible talent that cannot be replicated. Melba is beautiful and truly shines. I love that Katt who is a brother in Christ lifted her up and brought to our attention a real talent.

[@chiefd3290]

Melba still holds the record for holding a musical note for 22 seconds with her 4 octave vocals on any recorded song. Truly underrated artist.

[@MysticStranger]

She got 37 seconds in Other Side of the Rainbow. I have yet to hear a longer note LOL

[@andrewmiller2321]

Take that Maria Carey!

[@curtiswhiteheadjr1322]

Chief D thought so! 💯 Thanks for the verification!

[@alicialorde2562]

Yes she was truly underrated...I love this song.

[@chasacart]

Melba's "Other Side Of The Rainbow" record was broken by Tee Green (doing Benard Ighner's standard "Everything Must Change") in early 2011 by only 3 seconds! The note was held on the word "fly"! Melba still holds the record..as far as women are concerned and she holds the record..as far as 'longest for an album track' is concerned! Her 's was recorded at 36 seconds, while Tee Green's ( a male from U.K.) was recorded just 3 seconds longer at 39 seconds!

...can you BELIEVE, This is Melba's SOLE #1 hit? ...on ANY chart!? ...she was one of the first 70's 'Disco Diva''s, benefited from productions from McFadden & Whitehead & Kashif, was one of TV's first Black Women to host her own series (with Clifton Davis), has been in THREE legendary Broadway plays....with, ONLY ONE NUMBER ONE!??? ...Well, let's go back to 1987, when 'The Peach' ruled the top of the R&B charts....

Situation #9 - Club Nouveau 3. Candy - Cameo 2. Have You Ever Loved Somebody - Freddie Jackson 1. *** Falling *** - Melba Moore (for 1 week) ....I've ALWAYS 'Fallen' for Melba, and, this was a DESERVED #1..
