    The Melba Moore-Clifton Davis Show

    1972 Summer replacement series... can't BELIEVE I'm seeing this again! And they sing "Here Comes The Sunrise"!

    That was a great show. Great memories. I can remember Melba singing "I've Got Life".

    Clifton Davis wrote Here Comes the Sunrise. Naturally he and Melba would sing a song he wrote. I also remember reading an old Jet magazine in which Melba said she liked the new Supremes with Jean Terrell. Melba also sang Then We Can Try Again on a TV show.

    Melba also recorded THEN WE CAN TRY AGAIN on her live album for Mercury.

    I wasn't sure if she recorded it, but she sang it on some TV show. You can't find Melba Moore's Mercury albums on disc.

    I miss television like this, when they would give regular or summer replacement series to people like Clifton and Melba, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, and others.

    I was told that Clifton wrote Never Can Say Goodbye for The Supremes Mary Cindy and Jean,but Berry Gordy gave it to The Jackson 5,i think Clifton and Jean were friends at that time.Melba Moore should have been a Superstar,she had IT,Please stay positive

    Clifton was not friends with Jean, he was friends with the Supreme's road manager. He wrote "Here comes the sunrise" for the Supreme's and they recorded it. He never offered "Never can say goodbye" to the Supreme's.

    I remember this summer replacement well. Weren't they in a relationship at that time? I'm told that Clifton Davis & I share a common ancestor going back at least 4 generations.
