About Rita Moss

  • Rita Moss (born Loreta L.
  • Waynesboro; July 4, 1918 – July 16, 2015) was an American jazz and ballad singer born in Cabin Creek, Kanawha, West Virginia, notable for her 4-octave vocal range.
  • Although she took piano lessons as a child, she was a mostly self-taught multi-instrumentalist who could play piano, organ and drums.
  • Moss grew up in Long Island, New York, and credited the discovery of her vocal range talent to her singing along to saxophonist Freddy Gardner's recording of "Body and Soul", a record she had turned up in a Manhattan store bargain bin.
