===Music=== During the 1960s Moore formed the Dudley Moore Trio, with drummer [[Chris Karan]] and bassist Pete McGurk. Following McGurk's suicide in June 1968, Peter Morgan joined the group as his replacement.<ref>Chilton. John., 2004, ''Who's Who of British Jazz'', London: Continuum, p.240 {{ISBN|9780826472342}}</ref> Moore's admitted principal musical influences were [[Oscar Peterson]] and [[Erroll Garner]]. In an interview he recalled the day he finally mastered Garner's unique left-hand strum and was so excited that he walked around for several days with his left hand constantly playing that cadence. His early recordings included "[[My Blue Heaven (song)|My Blue Heaven]]", "Lysie Does It", "Poova Nova", "Take Your Time", "[[(Back Home Again in) Indiana|Indiana]]", "Sooz Blooz", "[[Baubles, Bangles & Beads]]", "Sad One for George" and "[[Autumn Leaves (1945 song)|Autumn Leaves]]". The trio performed regularly on British television, made numerous recordings and had a long-running residency at Peter Cook's London nightclub, the [[The Establishment (club)|Establishment]]. Amongst other albums, they recorded ''[[The Dudley Moore Trio]]'', ''Dudley Moore plays The Theme from Beyond the Fringe and All That Jazz'', ''The World of Dudley Moore'', ''The Other Side Of Dudley Moore'' and ''Genuine Dud''. Moore was a close friend of record producer [[Chris Gunning]] and played piano (uncredited) on the 1969 single "Broken Hearted Pirates" which Gunning produced for [[Simon Dupree and the Big Sound]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/2013/24/r2-sounds-of-the-60s.html |title=Sounds Of The 60s |publisher=BBC |date=8 June 2013 |access-date=23 April 2016}}</ref> In 1976 he played piano on [[Larry Norman]]'s album ''[[In Another Land (album)|In Another Land]]'', in particular on the song ''The Sun Began to Rain''. In 1981 he recorded ''Smilin' Through'' with Cleo Laine. He composed the soundtracks for the films ''[[Bedazzled (1967 film)|Bedazzled]]'' (1967), ''[[30 is a Dangerous Age, Cynthia]]'' (1968), ''[[Inadmissible Evidence (film)|Inadmissible Evidence]]'' (1968), ''[[Staircase (film)|Staircase]]'' (1969), ''[[The Hound of the Baskervilles (1978 film)|The Hound of the Baskervilles]]'' (1978) and ''[[Six Weeks]]'' (1982), among others.
