Woodstocker’s Song Wins At the Spa
Daily Freeman, September 1, 1974
Woodstock composer-singer Tim Moore won first place in the Jazz-Rhythm and Blues soul amateur category at the American Song Festival at Saratoga Saturday night.
Moore’s song, “Charmer,” was performed by Etta James at the festival, and now will be competing with six other songs in the festival’s finals, to be held Monday.
Its taking of first place in its category Saturday night means a $5,000 prize for Moore, and a chance at the $25,000 prize to be awarded for the festival’s top amateur song.
