During the early 1960s, Bob became
known to insiders as Nashville’s Best Kept Secret because of
the creative input he was able to lend producers with whom he worked.
Mr. Moore’s musical knowledge and practical experience were
the key to many big hits. Nashville’s record business grew
tremendously during this period. Many producers, musicians, and
artists poured into Nashville. Bob Moore was busier than ever working
with Elvis Presley, Roger Miller, Jim Reeves, the Statler Brothers,
and Roy Orbison
"In
one year, I did almost three hundred record sessions just for Mercury
Records alone-- four (three-hour) dates a day, six or often seven
days a week," he recalls.
In 1961 Mr. Moore, who was a partner in Monument
Records, found time to record "Mexico", an instrumental
for the label, which was a huge hit in Germany and sold over two
million records worldwide.
