Artist
Cora Juanita Brewer Martin-Moore was an American contralto singer, pianist and choir director born in Chicago in 1927. The oldest child of Lucius and Annie Claude James Moore, she took the surname Martin after being adopted at a young age by pioneering gospel singer Sallie Martin. She began singing as a child at Chicago's Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. As a teenager, she joined her mother's singing group, The Sallie Martin Singers and toured with them across America. With the Sallie Martin Singers, she was noted for her tone, breath control and restraint on a recording of "Eyes Hath Not Seen", and also demonstrated her versatility by singing Prof. Alex Bradford's part on the song "He'll Wash You Whiter Than Snow". Martin-Moore settled in Los Angeles in 1947 and became affiliated with that city's St. Paul Baptist Church. She gained a bachelor's degree from California State University at Dominquez Hills. She served as Director of Music at St. Paul, and as director of both the Echoes of Eden Choir and the John L. Branham Youth Choir. She also owned a recording studio and a record shop, and worked as a DJ of religious music. She died on July 10, 2005.
