Melba Moore transported her followers back to 1972 this week with a candid snapshot from her early career. The Broadway star and R&B powerhouse posted an archival image alongside two of her peers, simply captioned “#throwbackthursday Liza, Melba, Nancy The year was 1972 in NYC After My Concert in NYC Love Melba Forever Moore.”
1972 Throwback Photo
In the grainy black-and-white photo, Moore stands between Liza Minnelli and a figure identified only as Nancy—faithful to the original post, no last name was provided. Together they appear to bask in the glow of a backstage reunion after what Moore describes as “My Concert in NYC.” The photo reflects Moore’s early days offstage too, when she rubbed shoulders with fellow luminaries at a moment when New York was riding high on the energy of live performance.
Moore’s throwback follows a trend on social media where artists excavate personal archives to connect with fans. In recent years, she’s joined other legends in letting followers share a glimpse of the past—and in doing so, she underscores her longtime presence in entertainment history.

While June 1972 marked one of her earliest headline shows, 2025 has been equally busy for Moore—albeit in very different ways. In June she became a cover star for @indieincognitomagazine, celebrating new music and ongoing creative ventures. The post read:
