Rita Moss

Who is Rita Moss?

Rita Moss is an American jazz and ballad singer born in Akron, Ohio, notable for her 4-octave vocal range. Although she took piano lessons as a child, she is a mostly self-taught multi-instrumentalist who can play piano, organ and drums. Moss grew up in Long Island, New York, and credits 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.
