Moses "Whispering" Smith (January 25, 1932 – April 28, 1984)[2] was an American blues harmonicist and singer.
[2] He recorded tracks including "A Thousand Miles from Nowhere" and "Texas Flood" and worked with Lightnin' Slim and with Silas Hogan.
His singles included the songs "Mean Woman Blues", and "Don't Leave Me Baby" and the B-side instrumental tracks "Live Jive" and "Hound Dog Twist".
[1][4] Although he was a powerful singer and a straight but unsophisticated harmonica player,[3] his success was diminished by his emergence when swamp blues was declining in popularity.
[4] Two years later, he toured Europe as part of American Blues Legends '73, contributing two tracks to the Big Bear Records album of the same name.
