The first woman at the Detroit-based music label to write and produce for Motown acts, she is probably best known for her songs written with and for Stevie Wonder.

Moy grew up on the northeast side of Detroit with her eight brothers and sisters, the family performing on pots and pans to keep themselves busy and musical.

Once she reached school, she played jazz and classical, but found her true place behind the scenes at Motown Records.

Her first writing success came with "Uptight (Everything's Alright)", which she co-wrote with Henry "Hank" Cosby after hearing Wonder improvising on piano.
