All that can presently (June 2025) be gleaned about Melinda Taylor from sheet music covers and by Internet searching is that she was presumably an American vocalist who has made at least 7 recordings in 1928 on the OKeh label.
Those recordings were made together with Bessie Johnson as a member of the vocal group Sisters Johnson and Taylor.
