Curley Moore was an R&B singer from New Orleans, born in 1943 and passing away on December 14, 1985. He was a vocalist with Huey "Piano" Smith's band, The Clowns, and sang on most of the band's recordings during the 1960s. Moore achieved minor regional solo hits with songs like "Don't Pity Me" on SanSu Records, "Soul Train" on Hotline Records, and "Get Low Down," also on SanSu. His track "Funky, Yeah," released on the House of the Fox label, became a cult classic known for its hard-driving heavy psychedelic sound. In 1979, he rejoined a reformed version of The Clowns with Huey "Piano" Smith at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. After serving prison time in the early 1980s, Curley Moore's life was tragically cut short when his murdered body was found in Algiers, Louisiana, in December 1985, at the age of 42.
