Marilyn Montez Moore (June 16, 1930 – March 19, 1992) was an American jazz singer during the 1950s.[2] She recorded one solo album, Moody Marilyn Moore (Bethlehem, 1957). Her vocal style was similar to Billie Holiday's, and according to jazz critic Will Friedwald, Holiday and Moore were friends.[3] She was the first wife of saxophonist Al Cohn[2] (who played on Moody Marilyn Moore) and the mother of guitarist Joe Cohn.[3][4]
