for her career in live theatre and live performance that has included receiving a Tony and three Grammy nominations will be unveiled Thursday.
"There are so many incredible artists, people who deserve that award - - not saying that I don't -- but you don't always get what you deserve," Moore said. Born Oct. 29, 1945 in New York City, the daughter of big band leader Teddy Hill and singer Bonnie Davis, who had a No. 1 hit on the R&B charts with the song "Don't Stop Now," Moore made her Broadway debut in 1968 as part of the opening night cast of the groundbreaking musical "Hair," initially playing Dionne, then Sheila, a role Diane Keaton also played during its initial Broadway run.
Moore received the first of her three Grammy nominations in 1971 for best new artist for her debut album "I Got Love," losing out to The Carpenters in a field that also consisted of Elton John, Anne Murray and The Partridge Family. Moore has released 28 albums, including 10 that made both the Billboard 200 and what were variously known as the soul, top Black albums and R&B charts.
