Born 1941 in Walla Walla Washington (one
of the closest hospitals,) and raised with six brothers in Athena, Oregon (18
miles north of Pendleton,) the son of a preacher man, Daniel Moore, went to
college in Eugene OR., for 3 years, then moved to Los Angeles to do music
(1962.) Within two weeks he had a record deal, a lousy one (wrote his first song
for it.) The year of 1963 was spent playing acoustic bass and singing backup
with Jimmy Rogers, another north westerner; and opening for him as a member of
the Fairmount Singers. In 1965 he began producing records and publishing songs.
In 1967 The Everly Brothers recorded Daniel's song, "Deliver Me".
1970 he joined Joe Cocker's, Mad Dogs and Englishmen group and went on tour. Did
an album for ABC Records as an artist, produced a bunch of records (T-Bone

composition, "Shambala" became a million+ seller hit for Three Dog Night. Then
another hit single” My Maria" by his co-writer; B.W. Stevenson. Joe Cocker
recorded several of Daniel's songs in 1975 and 1976 for A&M Records. Bonnie
Raitt recorded the title cut “Sweet Forgiveness" on Warner Bros. in 1976.
1979 Daniel produced Kim Carnes 1st album for EMI America Records, then in 1981
went on tour with her as a background singer. Meanwhile performing with Rabbit
and the Renegade Band and The Moore Brothers Band in the Los Angeles area,
Daniel continued his writing.
In (1996) Brooks and Dunn recorded "My Maria" and had a smash hit with it.
Daniel co-wrote (with Marty Grebb) the song "Fire In The Hole" which was
released in the Steven Seagal movie "Fire Down Below" (1997), also on the
