Moore had protested the use of the song “Hold On, I’m Comin'” by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s campaign eight years before.
Moore began singing in churches after being born in Miami on October 12, 1935. At the 1950s, he and Prater played at R&B and soul clubs, but they didn’t cross paths until 1961 in Miami.
Moore coached Prater on a song’s lyrics, and the two soon gained popularity in the community. Producer Jerry Wexler transferred them to Atlantic Records’
Stax subsidiary in Memphis in 1965 after they signed with the company. Moore and Prater had frequent arguments, and in 2006, Moore told the AP that his drug use,
Which he had stopped in 1981, contributed to the band’s problems and subsequently made entertainment professionals reluctant to give him a new beginning.
