"Sideshow" é uma canção do grupo de R&B e Soul Music norte-americano Blue Magic, gravada em 1974.
A visita a um museu antigo foi a inspiração para a metáfora entre circo e romances composta por Vinnie Barrett e Bobby Eliit. "Sideshow" levou por volta de quatro meses para ser finalizada. O produtor e guitarrista Norman Harris viu a letra e sugeriu que ela fosse gravada pelo Blue Magic. O grupo a lançou no seu álbum homônimo, e ela chegou ao topo da parada de R&B da Billboard.

**From her earliest memories Melody Dawn had been involved in Gospel, Motown, Soul and Funk music. As a child growing up in church and church schools in Hawaii, music and singing has always been at the forefront of her life. This lifetime passion developed into pursuing her career that spanned off and on into years of perfecting her singing and entertaining that took her half way around the world. She signed up with Universal Attractions of NY, which continue to promote and manage some of the most famous artists and bands of past and future from the East Coast, including James Brown, Bobby Brown, The Stylistics, MC Hammer, Roy Ayers, The O'Jays, Lil' Wayne, Kurtis Blow, Morris Day and The Time and many more, from the early 50's to present.

Universal was promoting Melody Dawn as the "first White female to sing Soul &amp; Funk". (This was a couple years before Teena Marie made her mark on the same path). Melody toured with Don Elliott, (formerly regular 'show opener', on tour with the Stylistics), throughout the East Coast and landed on a West Pac tour of the Far East, including the Singapore Hyatt Hotel. There she worked 7 nights a week due the high demand from audiences that would jam pack the Hotel club, even being turned away on some nights. Everyone wanted to see the FUNKY American band! She even had the honor of singing for the USS Enterprise shipmates who were on their own West Pac tour and were RUNNING to see the only American Female in the area.

She also had the honor of opening in concert for thousands of Malaysians with the Maestro, "Barry White and the 'Love Unlimited Orchestra"'. That was one of the highlights of her life. Her band, The Don Elliott Review opened the concert with several current top Funk and Soul cover tunes that included Chaka Khan, Denise Williams, and The Commodores which made the audience scream for more. Mr. Barry White was a magician as he sat there, in his long white formal tails, and pearl white grand piano, with hundreds of musicians involved in his orchestra. It was an honor just to share the same stage with him and an experience she will never forget.

One of her most sentimental experiences was being able to volunteer as the back-up singer for the 'Jackie Wilson Tribute Concert' held at Wiltern Theater in Hollywood in 1979. Mr. Wilson had collapsed a few years earlier on stage and had developed brain damage when he hit his head, and had been in a coma until his death around '84. It was quite an experience to walk the old dilapidated halls and dressing rooms of the basement that had held probably thousands of artists over the years, starting with Vaudeville. Everything was narrow and small in the back and underground basement. But the concert was alive and great! There was an impersonator, at the time, singing and dancing exactly like Jackie Wilson, and Melody shared the stage with another young lady named Candy Royalle, who had a great jazz voice, and had been on the West coast from NY for a while. 

Melody Dawn went on to play with other bands and toured locally in her home state of California where she eventually settled down to raise her only child Shane Roberts, who is now and actor, and an entrepreneur as a fitness trainer with his own studio gym on the side.
Melody Dawn has always been in high demand for weddings, parties, church programs, youth rallies and concerts for the last 20+ years.
She is available for any vocal work, all genres, (including 'spoken word' broadcasting and voice over support), all project support, and hooks, upon request.
