P.A.M. Productions Presents Melba Moore in NYC March 7

Last October, TBGB readers had a chance to visit with acclaimed singer Melba Moore.

Patricia Martin of P.A.M. Productions told TBGB she is presenting Ms. Moore in a special Black History Month Celebration program in NYC, Sunday, March 7, 2010 (note new date).

The program will be held at 4:00 p.m. at Southern Baptist Church, 12 W. 108th Street in Harlem. Rev. Keith Roberson is Pastor. MC will be Daulton Anderson of WHCR 90.3 FM, with prayer and devotion by Rev. Eugene Rice.

Other artists on the March 7 program include the Seasons of Joy, the Joy Wonders, Rev. Mary Freeman, Catherine Miller, the Cocolo Japanese Gospel Choir, mime and praise dancers, and – one of my favorite choir names – the House Wrecking Dayspring M.B. Church Choir.

Martin, who moved to NYC from South Carolina at a young age, told TBGB she has been in the promotions business for six years: “I’m the baby on the block.” Still, she has produced programs featuring major artists such as Dorothy Norwood and Vickie Winans. Her motto is “Gospel Music at its Finest,” and her strategy is to add local groups and singers to her productions so they benefit from the exposure.

“I was brought to the church through gospel music,” Martin commented. “If I can bring gospel music to one person, and that person comes to the church, then my work hasn’t been in vain.”
