      Movin Melvin Brown is a very good entertainer, an engaging and friendly individual who has lived an interesting life through interesting times and can weave his story through those times to arrive at a memoir with song and dance that is entertaining and engaging, but not enough to sustain 90 minutes. Using the hit songs of black music from the 50s to 90s, Mr. Brown tells his life story, starting as one of twelve children in a family in the projects in Cincinatti with a powerful mother who made sure there was food on the table and that church was attended without fail. He then tells his story, at times painfully honestly, through an entertainer’s life. Entertainment career, military service, marriages ending, he holds nothing back. Sampling the songs of Jackie Wilson, the Temptations, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke and many others, Mr. Brown intersperses tap dancing of various styles and even clogging into his work to good effect.
