MVP TV Network Presents Music Heals the World Featuring Legendary Melba Moore

A Celebration of Women with Melba Moore, Joyce Irby of Klymaxx, and Shirley Jones of The Jones Girls

ATLANTA, GA — MVP TV Network proudly presented Music Heals the World, an unforgettable evening where music became medicine and women stood as the heartbeat of healing. This spectacular concert experience fused legacy, empowerment, and artistry, serving as a powerful testament to the timeless ability of women in music to inspire, uplift, and unify communities.

At the forefront of the celebration was the legendary Melba Moore, whose six-decade career has epitomized resilience, artistry, and reinvention. Moore, a Tony Award–winning Broadway star, four-time Grammy nominee, and trailblazer in both music and theater, reminded the audience why she continues to reign as one of entertainment’s most undaunted forces. Her presence embodied the event’s theme—women as vessels of healing, carrying songs that transcend time and trials.

Adding to the brilliance of the evening was Joyce Irby of Klymaxx, the pioneering all-female funk/R&B band whose performance lit the stage with sisterhood, rhythm, and unapologetic energy. Their music reflected both fun and freedom, proving that women in music are not only performers but architects of sound and culture.

The soulful heartbeat of the evening deepened with Shirley Jones of The Jones Girls, who delivered classics that reminded audiences of the depth, love, and elegance the trio gave to the world. Her performance bridged past and present, showing how the power of women’s voices continues to echo across generations.

Beyond the music, the night was also one of honor and recognition. Al Bartel, Chairman of the World Human Rights Network, presented Melba Moore with the inaugural Woman of Life Human Rights Award, cementing her place not only as a musical icon but also as a global voice of healing and peace.

In another highlight, Commissioner Khadijah Abdulrahman presented proclamations to a remarkable slate of honorees: Academy Award–winning actress and comedian Mo’Nique, Dr. Bill Nelson, founder of MVP TV Network, Melba Moore, and Joyce Irby of Klymaxx. These acknowledgments underscored the cultural, artistic, and community impact of these trailblazers, further reinforcing the night’s message of celebrating women who shape history through creativity and courage.

The event was hosted by Niecy Shaw of 102.9 Classix R&B and drew a constellation of notable celebrity guests in attendance, including actor and singer T.C. Carson, best known for his role on the hit sitcom Living Single, Portia Bruner, host of The Portia Bruner Show on Atlanta’s Fox 5, and more distinguished personalities from the worlds of entertainment, media, and culture who came to support the vision of healing through music.

The celebration unfolded in the stylish atmosphere of Yuji Modern Japanese Restaurant, located at 667 Auburn Avenue on Atlanta’s Beltline. The venue’s vibrant energy and cultural richness provided the perfect backdrop for an evening dedicated to music, empowerment, and healing.

MVP TV Network curated Music Heals the World as more than a concert—it was an affirmation of women’s essence, a platform that honored pioneers while inspiring the next wave of creators. With its spotlight on legendary artists who embody empowerment, resilience, and healing, the night was both a tribute and a call to action: to continue celebrating, protecting, and amplifying women’s voices.

In an era where healing is needed more than ever, Music Heals the World served as a powerful reminder that music—especially when shaped by the brilliance of women—can indeed heal the world.
