Melba Moore has 'No Filter' in new single

She conquered Broadway and television in the 1970s and topped the Billboard charts throughout the 1980s. Now, the legendary Melba Moore is back with a hot new single.

ATLANTA - Melba Moore extends her legendary career with a new dance single:

She conquered Broadway and television in the 1970s and topped the Billboard charts throughout the 1980s. Now, the legendary Melba Moore is back with a hot new single — and is on her way to Atlanta.

The Tony Award-winning actress and Grammy-nominated singer will co-headline a show this Saturday, Aug. 30, at Yuji Modern Japanese (667 Auburn Avenue) with fellow R&B legends Shirley Jones and Klymaxx with Joyce Irby.

It’s an exciting season for Moore, whose latest release is the dance single "No Filter."

"It comes from George Pettus, Angela Pettus, and Terry Hunter," says the singer and actress of the track. "They wrote the music, wrote the lyrics … and they put me as background vocals as well as the lead. So, I’m singing all these notes all over the place!"

Moore holds one of those notes for a solid 20 seconds, displaying a vocal power for which she’s known around the world.

"The long notes are easy now, because you get stamina," Moore said. "And after a while, you find out what makes it ‘don’t work,’ and you weed that out! So, after a while, if you can’t do anything else, you can do that."

Of course, Melba Moore can do much more. The New York-born performer skyrocketed to stardom in 1970, when she won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical for "Purlie," and later headlined her own television variety series with Clifton Davis. Her recording output includes the dance classics "You Stepped Into My Life," "This Is It," and "Love’s Comin’ at Ya," and the chart-topping R&B hits "Falling" and "A Little Bit More" (featuring Freddie Jackson).

Southside Day celebrating community

Southside Day is back at East Point City Hall and better than ever. Southside native Yung Joc and East Point Mayor Deena Ingraham sat down with Alyse Eady to preview the big party and talk about its importance.

Southside Day 2025 with Yung Joc and Mayor Deana Ingraham: Southside Day 2025 returns for its second annual celebration on Sunday, Aug. 31 at the East Point City Hall, bringing together leaders, entertainers, families, and community stakeholders from eight cities across the metro. This year, Yung Joc was very intentional about unifying the Southside of Atlanta. So intentional, that he went to each of these mayors' offices, and he spoke with them personally about their impact and importance. His goal was to flip the script and, instead of being booked to come out to the cities separately to perform, he would bring them all together to show the strength of the Southside when we all stand together.

What the end of the 'de minimis rule' means for you

On Friday, the U.S. will suspend a policy letting packages under $800 enter the country duty-free, and that could mean a major impact for some of your online purchases. Stord CEO Sean Henry joined Alyse Eady to explain what you need to know.

Why online shopping could soon cost you 50% more: Effective Friday, the U.S. will suspend the "de minimis" exemption for all low-value imports under $800 - a move that means new duties, delays, and higher prices on everything from clothes to electronics.
