Melba Moore
Beatrice Melba Hill (born October 29, 1945), best known by her stage name, Melba Moore is an American singer, actress, entertainer. She is the daughter of saxophonist Teddy Hill and R&B singer Bonnie Davis.
Early life
Melba Moore was born in 1945 in New York City, New York, to Gertrude Melba Smith (known professionally as Bonnie Davis) and Teddy Hill, and raised in Harlem, New York, until she was 9 and her divorced mother remarried jazz pianist Clement Leroy Moorman. She attended Newark Arts High School in Newark, New Jersey. Her mother, Bonnie Davis, had a No. 1 R&B hit with "Don't Stop Now", prior to Melba's birth. Although her biological father was Big Band leader and saxophonist Teddy Hill, it was her stepfather Moorman (who played on "Don't Stop Now") who became a prime influence and encouragement in Moore's musical pursuits, insisting that she learn to play the piano. When she graduated from college she worked as a music teacher, but she soon decided to pursue the spotlight. She chose her stage name by shortening her stepfather's surname from Moorman and using her middle name, "Melba".

Keepin' My Lover Satisfied
by: Melba MooreKeepin' my lover)
(Keepin' my lover)
He says he likes the way I love him
Abuse him every day
I'm gonna do the best
To keep it that way
I never make him feel unhappy
Love to see him smile
When he's in my arms
He's like a child, oh
There's no doubt in my mind (The man is fine)
It's alright 'cause I got him (The man is mine)
And you'll never feel the joy (Until you find)
Someone who loves your body (Soul) and mind
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
Anything he wants he knows I got
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
When it comes to love, it's just like that
I don't know why the others left him
To tell the truth, I'm glad
He's worried happiness
I'll never have
To be with my man is a pleasure
Friends don't understand
If this is a dream
Please make it last
There's no doubt in my mind (The man is fine)
It's alright 'cause I got him (The man is mine)
And you'll never feel the joy (Until you find)
Someone who loves your body (Soul) and mind
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
Anything he wants he knows I got
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
When it comes to love, it's just like that
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
Anything he wants he knows I got
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
When it comes to love, it's just like that
I'm keepin' my lover satisfied
Just keepin' my lover satisfied
There's no doubt in my mind (The man is fine)
It's alright 'cause I got him (The man is mine)
And you'll never feel the joy (Until you find)
Someone who loves your body (Soul) and mind
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
Anything he wants he knows I got
Keepin' my lover (Keepin' my lover) satisfied
