PATSY MOORE’S THE MOST PRIVATE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CLAIR: STUDIO RENDERINGS COMING SOON TO AMAZON.com AND NOW ONLINE AT:
Blah. Blah. Blah. How 'bout I just let you read a distillation of the Wikipedia profile? (What it lacks in color, it makes up for in thoroughness.) - Patsy
Moore's family moved frequently when she was a child. As a result of that experience, her music has always employed diverse influences—including African and Caribbean rhythms, folk, soul, Latin, rock, pop and funk.
She enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in 1982, and performed in a band throughout college—singing, writing songs and playing keyboards. While majoring in broadcast journalism and minoring in film and speech communications, she decided a career in music was of greater interest to her and began working towards that end. After singer - songwriter - music producer David Mullen (an acquaintance) asked her to sing backup on a demo, she started writing and singing with others. Moore was hired as a staff writer at the McSpadden Group and a record deal with Warner Brothers soon followed.
Although numerous performers have covered her tunes since 1989, among the most notable is jazz world favorite Dianne Reeves—who, in 1999, recorded "I Remember" and "Goodbye" [on the album Bridges]. That same year, Moore joined keyboardist Charles Mims (Patrice Rushen, Tracy Chapman) in writing, arranging and producing Kwanzaa for Young People (and Everyone Else!) (Charphelia Records), a CD and educator resource guide which have garnered numerous commendations, including Teachers' Choice, Parent Council, Parents' Choice and Kids First awards. At the start of 2005, L.A.'s Walt Disney Concert Hall débuted 'Misa Justa', a symphonic Jazz mass by composer Eduardo Gutiérrez del Barrio, performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a large choir, and a small group of soloists. That ambitious work, widely described as "a celebration of womanhood", features five sung poems written by Moore.
Twelve years following her stint as a Warner Brothers recording artist, Patsy Moore has resurfaced with the independent releases of a book and music single, as well as the development of a humanitarian NPO designed to facilitate artists in aiding the world's most needy.
The book—Essays and Letters: Volume I (Patchouli Grove Publishers)—is a collection of writings by Moore, dating from 2002 to 2005 and touching on the topics of art, politics, religion and spirituality, war and peace, and the author's longtime battle with cancer.
The single, "The Curve", is a sneak peek at a full-length CD slated for release in 2007—The Most Private Confessions of Saint Clair: Studio Renderings.
Moore's not-for-profit organization—seeking to encourage artists to find ways in which to enrich their communities and the world at large—is The Arts in Action Caucus.
In addition to her work as an artist, Patsy Moore is the founder and senior editor of The Bohemian Aesthetic (an online arts - culture - activism - current affairs magazine), co-owner of Papa Chuy (a music and film production company), and creator of Patsy Moore's Song Masters Seminar Series.

Thanks for the add. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they'll need inspiration too. An echo of an echo of Buddha or Jesus, encrusted in ritual, loses context & content. Still, we write what we can. Try to hear the deeper questions. ¶ This world's diverse evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — in market, government, & elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by greed. They want us to share that belief, for they use it to justify themselves, to keep us apart, to control politics & the economy, perpetuating war, poverty, ecocide. Their power comes not so much from cabals as from ubiquitous propaganda, implicit in their framing of the news. ¶ But they're mistaken about our motives. You & I have found empathy inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, even the tank drivers, if only we can wake them, for we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. The bureacracy of brutality cannot stand if we open the eyes of its workers. ¶ What is human nature? Our task is not just to describe what we see, but to choose what we strive to become. The ideological battle between love & fear shapes the world, & its outcome is not yet written. Watching, voting, shopping are not enough. If you haven't already, join the global conversation, in whatever way feels right for you. Merge the revolutions of enlightenment & class struggle. Worldwide understanding has no precedent; we must discover & erase its rules en route. Make love not war is as serious as Orwell & as light as "Chocolat." ¶ For a start, just talk with people — that may not sound like much, but really it's huge. Spread the word. Each of us knows only part of the song, but keep singing, hoping, resisting, questioning. Hand in hand, we may heal this world. ¶ Eric
ah that's very sweet. thank you. i was just having some pretty awful headaches for a while, but i think i may be out of the woods now. hope you're feeling better yourself. happy new year!
