I was actually thinking of Pete Moore this afternoon for some reason and wondering how he was doing. I almost started a thread to ask if anyone knew and now I've received this sad news:

Pete wrote and co-wrote some of the greatest songs of the 1960s including, but not limited to:
The Temptations' "It's Growing" and "Since I Lost My Baby", and two of Marvin Gaye's biggest hits, the Top 10 million sellers," Ain't That Peculiar ", and "I'll Be Doggone".
For the Miracles:
"Ooo Baby Baby" and "Tracks of My Tears".
As a kid I remember seeing he and the other Miracles at the roller skating rink down the street from where I lived. Great memories.
Even in his latter years Pete was trying to help establish new talent:
May he Rest In Peace.
Very sad to read.
RIP Pete Moore
Thank you for the music
I'm so sorry to hear about Warren 'Pete' Moore. RIP.

It's always sad news when one of our Motown legends passes. RIP Mr Moore.
Here's a nice memory:
He co wrote IS THERE ANYTHING THAT I CAN DO, and THEN for the Four Tops. The should've been released NO TIME for the TEMPTATIONS but obviously The Four Tops version was superior. The Four Tops LOST FOR WORDS.
I love the 67/68/69 Miracles recordings...are there enough tracks left in the vaults for a L&F type CD?
