TBGB reader and gospel music historian David Jones informed us that Elma Opal Moore, longtime member of Chicago’s First Church of Deliverance Radio Choir, passed away just after Labor Day.

Moore had been a member of the church’s storied music department since at least 1950, and accompanied the group on piano for some of its earliest recordings on the F.C.D. label (the church’s house record label).
