About James Moore Singer
- Reverend James Moore Sr.

- Moore had a genuine love for the traditional sounds of the church, but came to appreciate the uprising contemporary form of gospel music as well.

- James Cleveland, and Richard "Mr.
- Clean" White, among many others.
- He also gave much acclaim to the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA) for the molding of his gospel music career . After many chart-topping gospel hits and much noted success in the 1980s and early '90s, Moore soon became a household name among many gospel music listeners.

- Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with diabetes, which left him bound to a wheelchair, blind and placed on dialysis.
