Dorothy Moore

Dorothy Moore (born October 13, 1946 in Jackson, Mississippi) is an American pop and gospel singer.

Moore began singing with her church choir at the age of five, and eventually became a soloist. She formed a vocal group The Poppies who had hits in 1966 with the songs "Lullaby of Love" and "He's Ready".

By the mid 1970s Moore had commenced a career as a solo vocalist and released a series of well received singles and albums. Among her hits of this period were "Misty Blue" (with backing vocals by her "Poppies" bandmate Fern Kinney). The song reached number 1 on the R&B chart and number 3 on the pop chart. Her next singles were a cover version of the Willie Nelson song "Funny How Time Slips Away" and "I Believe You". Both songs reached the R&B Top 10.

Moore stopped performing for several years, returning in 1986 with a gospel album Giving It Straight To You. As of 2004 she continues to perform and has released several gospel albums.
