Dorothy Moore : Misty
Blue
Dorothy Moore began singing
with The New Stranger Home Baptist Church Choir at the age of
five, and, eventually, she became a soloist.
While attending Jackson State University, she formed an
all-female group called The Poppies with Fern Kinney, Petsye
McCune and Rosemary Taylor. The group recorded for Columbia
Records' Date subsidiary, reaching number 56 on the Billboard
Hot 100 chart in 1966 with "Lullaby Of Love".
Her career took off with a series of ballads for Malaco
Records. "Misty Blue" (number 2 R&B, number 3 Pop) and
"Funny How Time Slips Away" (the Willie Nelson penned song,
number 7 R&B, number 58 Pop) scored in 1976, while "I
Believe You" (number 5 R&B, number 27 Pop) charted the
following year.
