Moore died in Coral Gables, Florida, on Friday morning due to complications from surgery, as confirmed by his publicist Jeremy Westby. Born on October 12, 1935, in Miami, Moore began his musical journey singing in church.

A frequent performer at high-profile events, including the Kennedy Center Honors, Moore also sang for U.S. presidents, including Barack Obama.
