Kenny Moore – RIP

by blue on Feb.18, 2009, under Other Groups/Artists

Only just read that an old friend Kenny Moore died while on tour with Tina Turner in 1997 I wondered why I hadn’t heard of him for such a long time.

Kenny was a lovely person and radiated a warmth and generosity that is rare these days. He was a fantastic piano player and his roots were in gospel music. I worked with him in Lausanne Switzerland and again in my home studio where I had the pleasure of listening to him and Judy Cheeks sing gospel and blues for hours, we didn’t get much work done that day they just sang and sang more. I wish I’d turned the tape machine on I still kick myself.
Here are some performances with Tina…

This is also great but I believe some of his solo performance has been edited out…please watch all

I think he was a special human being in various senses. Tina Turner’s resurrection is hard to understand without him. What was the cause of the death? He was sitll joung.

Thank you. I’m really not sure what the cause of death was but apparently he died in his sleep.
