Born in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1946, Dorothy Moore started her professional career in 1965.
Misty Blue was released in 1976.
She still performs today, and has won 4 Grammy awards.
This is Dorothy Moore singing "Misty Blue" in a video made for television broadcasts.
Like many videos on the internet, all versions I find of this ends abruptly before the song ends, so I include an audio-only video below it.

I saw Dorothy Moore sing at a tribute for Wardell Quezergue, the famed New Orleans arranger, two years ago. She sang this song and also Willie Nelson's "Funny How Time Slips Away." She was tremendous - perhaps the best performance of the evening (and there were a lot of heavy hitters). What I remember most from her performance was that she sang "Funny" as a triumphant song, rather than a kiss off or resigned song. I'd love to see her again.
