William Moore (musician)

William "Bill" Moore (March 3, 1893 – November 22, 1951) was an Afro-American blues singer and guitarist.

Born in Dover, Georgia, he was the only Virginian country bluesman to record for the Paramount label (1928 in Chicago). His four 78 rpm records are highly sought by collectors and have been numerously re-released on LP and CD compilation albums. His songs (e.g. "Ragtime Millionaire", "Old Country Rock", "One Way Gal") have been covered by the likes of Dave "Snaker" Ray, John Fahey, Stefan Grossman and Duck Baker, The Insect Trust, The Notting Hillbillies and many others.

He died in Warrenton, Virginia.
