    Rhythm & blues singer and guitarist, who recorded for the labels Dig,
    Revis, and Movin' in 1957, 1966 and 1967, respectively, all sessions
    taking place in Los Angeles.

    Abe Moore was a sadly under-recorded guitarist who only made a few
    recordings in his life. In 1957 he recorded three songs in one session
    for the Dig label, with one of them "Bingo" not seeing issue until
    decades later on an Ace Records compilation. He wouldn't record again
    until 1966, cutting a 45 for the Revis label. His last recordings
    appeared on a 45 in 1968 on the Movin' label, one side being a cover
    of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On". https://www.45cat.com/artist/abe-moore-and-orchestra

    apologies, 1957 should be 1956

    Good sax but the rest is pretty ordinary and undistinguished

    BTW "The Beat Goes On! by Abe Moore is on the Ride label in 1967. I have no date that year so if its far into the year its not a cover but a remake.
