In 1970, I spent one year living in New York City..It was in that year that I became forever hooked..I lived on East 49th Street, on the same block as Katherine Hepburn and Stephen Sondheim..at that time, had no idea who Stephen Sondheim was, but I knew that every business owner in the neighborhood knew him, so I took for granted he was someone to reckon with. Well, he most certainly was!!…but Katherine Hepburn..OH YEAH!!..now granted, they lived in glorious brownstones, and I lived on the 5th floor(walk up) above the Korean deli on the corner..I would many times see Miss Hepburn, as every one in the neighborhood called her, weeding and planting in her tiny little patch of green in front of her home…and each time someone would walk by she would give them a dirty look if they seemed to get too close to her “garden”..”DON’T THROW YOUR CIGARETTE BUTTS DOWN”…”KEEP YOUR BIG FEET OFF MY GRASS”…this was such a thrill for a young kid from Rainelle, West Virginia…….. That was also the year I became forever hooked on Broadway theater..the big show the summer of 1970 was PURLIE…it was a musical based on PURLIE VICTORIOUS, a serious play written by Ossie Davis..and that was my first big Broadway musical…and it was amazing!!…it made 3 newcomers into big stars…Cleavon Little played the title character, Purlie.(Cleavon went on to be cast as the black sheriff in BLAZING SADDLES)..Sherman Hemsley played Gitlo, Purlie’s conniving brother(Sherman became George Jefferson in the tv series, The Jeffersons)…but the real star of that show was an ingenue named Melba Moore, who comes onto the stage as a character named Lutiebelle Gussiemae Jenkins…….she played a shy, naive young woman being trained to be a good housekeeper who found herself in love with Purlie…..by the end of the show, Melba had become a star, the toast of broadway , and won the Tony for her role in that musical……her big number was I Got Love, which remains her signature song….I have followed Melba’s career all these years..She went on to more Broadway shows, a recording star having some of the biggest hits during the 70s disco era, and once again at age 65, is topping the charts with her brand new hit record, Love Is…. I have the thrill of a lifetime this week..I spent an evening with Melba Moore as she was the very special guest on The Joey Reynolds Show on NBC…and she is even more adorable than I ever could have thought possible…….she starts a two week engagement at the Carlyle, New York City’s premier cabaret room..she will be there for two weeks, Tuesday April 26th through Saturday May 7th….and on Friday April 22nd, she will appear on my radio show, The Colin Lively Show..2pm..on herewomentalk.com …..
