Rudy Ray Moore is known as the “king of the party records” and released many comedy records throughout the 1960s and 1970s, developing a style even more rude and explicit than contemporaries like Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor. This kept him off of television and major films, but cultivated an enduring fan base. Moore starred in Big Money Hustlas a movie created and starring the Insane Clown Posse in which he played Dolemite for the first time in over 20 years.

Some of his material was lifted by Sam Kinison, who cited Moore as his biggest comedic influence.

Moore began as a singer and continued singing through his comedy career. He developed an interest in comedy in the Army after expanding on a singing performance for other servicemen.
