voc, p,
Singer / Musician of R&B/Soul and Rock
A.k.a. June 'Curley' Moore

R&B singer from New Orleans (1943 – December 14, 1985) Vocalist with Huey "Piano" Smith's band The Clowns. Sang on most of the band's recordings during the 1960s. Minor regional solo hits under his own name with "Don't Pity Me" on SanSu Records, "Soul Train" on Hotline Records, and "Get Low Down" also on SanSu. "Funky, Yeah" on the House of the Fox label became a cult classic for its hard driving heavy psychedelic sound. In 1979, Curley Moore joined a reformed version of the Clowns with Huey "Piano" Smith at the 1979 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. After serving prison time in the early 1980s, Moore's murdered body was found in Algiers, Louisiana, in December 1985. He was 42 years old.
