Pete Moore

Pete Moore (born Warren Moore on November 19 1939, Detroit, Michigan) is an African American soul singer, notable as the bass singer for Motown group The Miracles from 1955 onwards. Besides his work in The Miracles, Moore is also notable for having helped Miracles member Smokey Robinson write several hit songs, including The Temptations' "It's Growing" and "Since I Lost My Baby", and two of Marvin Gaye's biggest hits ,the Top 10 million sellers," Ain't That Peculiar ", and "I'll Be Doggone".

Moore co-wrote several of The Miracles' own hits. These included "Ooo Baby Baby", the million-selling "The Tracks Of My Tears" (also 1965), 1966's "Going to a Go-Go", and the million seller "Love Machine" (co-written with Miracles' member Billy Griffin) and the platinum album from which it came, "City of Angels", among others. In late 2006, Moore re-united with original Miracles members Smokey Robinson and Bobby Rogers for the group's first - ever extended interview on the Motown DVD release, "Smokey Robinson & The Miracles : The Definitive Performances".

He is not to be mistaken as the composer of the Pearl & Dean theme song, "Asteroid" which was created by an altogether different Pete Moore, a London born composer and arranger.
