The late 60s and early 1970s brought
pop, rock, folk, and easy listening acts to Nashville, creating
even more demand for Moore's musicianship. The biggest records by
some of the most musically diverse artists of that era were flavored
with Moore's innovative ideas and strong musicianship. John Davidson,
Gene Pitney, Bobby Vinton, Nana Mouskouri, Damita Jo, Burl Ives,
Pete Fountain and Clyde Mcphatter carried Moore's musical reputation
to both coasts and eventually around the world.
If copies of every record on which he performed
were placed end to end along Nashville's Music Row, they would line
both side sides of the sidewalk from the Country Music Hall of Fame
and past Belmont College. With over 17,000 recording sessions
to his credit, Bob Moore may well have played on more recordings
than any other musician in the world
The emergence of Nashville as the world's largest
recording center can largely be attributed to the city's extraordinary
musicians, including Moore, who created, "The
Nashville Sound", and attracted top artists and
producers to Nashville. His credits from this include some of the
biggest names in music: Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Willie Nelson,
Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Dottie West, George Jones, Ray Price,
Reba MacEntire, John Denver, Mac Davis, Larry Gatlin, The Statlers,
Bobby Goldsboro, Paul Anka, Debby Boone, Steve Lawrence and Eydie
Gorme, Don McLean, Tom Jones, Johnny Rodriguez, Cliff Richards,
Hank Williams Jr. and many, many more.
