R&B and Stage legend Melba Moore to issue autobiography

(November 14, 2025) Melba Moore, a Tony Award winning, 3x Grammy nominee, has starred in the Broadway musicals “Hair”, “Purlie!”, “Timbuktu!” and “Les Miserables”. Her countless hits include “You Stepped Into My Life,” “Read My Lips,” “Fallin’” and “This Is It.” She’s been a global success for over fifty years and now has a new book, which shares her strategies for longevity.

This Is It – Marvelous…And Getting Better takes the reader on the highs and lows of Melba’s career. The entertainment veteran shares how she had to pivot time and again, especially in an industry that didn’t always know what to do with the massive voice within her petite being.

From Harlem to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in the book, Melba moves from wining the esteemed Tony Award for “Purlie!” to continually transitioning to discover what’s next in her career. In the roller coaster ride in life, she’s done it all and never backed down from a challenge.

For the reader seeking motivation during moments of giving up, Melba’s This Is It – Marvelous….And Getting Better is the right book for the right time. The story of an icon overcoming the odds and getting better, day by day.

The book arrives November 18. Pre-order at Amazon
