Dorothy Moore
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, May 1976
TO REFER to the beautiful 'Misty Blue' by the equally beautiful Ms. Dorothy Moore as a unique record is perhaps an under-statement. Rarely do deep soul records achieve crossover status in the States but this gem has not only climbed into the Top 20 pop chart but it has also given the newly formed Malaco label its first million seller.
