From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Kid" Prince Moore was an American blues musician, from the United States, who recorded 17 songs from 1936 to 1938. Moore played in a Piedmont blues style, similar to that of Blind Blake. Moore also recorded two Gospel Music tracks, "Church Bells" and "Sign of Judgement". Moore also accompanied blues pianist Shorty Bob Parker on six of his own tracks.[1][2] Bruce Bastin, in his book Red River Blues: The Blues Tradition in the Southeast, suggested that Moore may have come from the Carolinas but as of 2024 virtually nothing is known of Moore's life.
