As a result of their success, the Miracles became the first Motown act to appear on Dick Clark's American Bandstand on December 27, 1960. Subsequent television appearances included The Ed Sullivan Show, The Mike Douglas Show, The Andy Williams Show, Shindig!, Hullabaloo, Where The Action Is, and Britain's Ready Steady Go!.
In 2012, Moore was retroactively inducted with the rest of the original Miracles, Bobby Rogers, Ron White, Claudette Robinson, and Marv Tarplin into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson. The induction was handled by a Special Committee, under the premise that the entire group should have been inducted with Robinson back in 1987.
Moore died November 25, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was 79.
