After many chart-topping gospel hits and much noted success in the 1980s and early '90s, Moore soon became a household name among many gospel music listeners.[2] He found mainstream success in the music industry, after his "Live" debut in 1988, under Malaco Records, and also recorded two live albums, in 1990 and 1994, with The Mississippi Mass Choir, singing duets with founding member Franklin Delano Williams on the 1990 album, "Live with the Mississippi Mass Choir." This would be a turning point for Moore, his music as well as his musicality itself. Moore also featured on many records & albums of fellow colleagues during the '80s & '90s, either singing alongside or contributing to the composition or arrangement side of their records.
