Description
Dorothy Moore is a R&B, Soul and Pop vocalist who hails from Jackson, Mississippi and is still enjoying a singing career that has spanned five decades and has seen her release many highly acclaimed albums that have garnered her no less than 4 Grammy Award nominations and an induction into the Mississippi Musicians Hall Of Fame.
The initial stages of Moores career saw her first foray into the charts with a 1966 #56 Pop hit Lullaby Of Love with female vocal trio The Poppies before recording several solo sides for AVCO, GSF and Chimneyville to minimal commercial success.
Misty Blue's success was bolstered by the incredible ballad and title track which was released as a single and became a massive crossover hit peaking at #2 R&B and #3 Pop as well as #5 on the U.K. Pop charts. Follow up single Funny How Time Slips Away (a Willie Nelson song) is another beautiful ballad which also reached the R&B top ten at #7 while peaking at a very respectable #38 on the U.K. Pop chart.
There are many stand out tracks on this release including a mid-tempo rendition of Dark End Of The Street and the bonus track Here It Is which was the b-side to Moores most successful and enduring song Misty Blue.
