Crack Of Dawn „Tiempo“ feat. Melba Moore

Tiempo “ Time” in Spanish was written by Dennis Nieves and Michael Dunston. The song was written many years ago about lovers needing time to find themselves again after a tumultuous breakup. Fast forward to 2020, and things have happened in Michael’s life where the meaning of the lyrics really hit home with his wife battling a few serious medical issues.
It’s under these circumstances along with the added female accompaniment from Melba Moore that really takes this song to an unprecedented level, filled with an emotional interpretation that’s difficult to explain with words alone.
Singer and actress Melba Moore is a four-time Grammy® nominee and the winner of the 1970 Tony Award® for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical, for her performance as Lutiebelle in Purlie. In 1995, Moore was back on Broadway as the first black actress to play the role of Fantine in Les Misérables.
She was also the first female pop/R&B artist to do a non-operatic solo concert at New York City’s Metropolitan Opera House and at the Olympia in Paris. With a total of eleven top ten U.S. hits on the Billboard charts over the past 40 years, both singles and albums, Moore continues into the 21st century as one of pop music’s most enduring artists.
