Sparkle Moore (born Barbara Morgan on November 6, 1936[1] in Omaha, Nebraska, United States) is an American rockabilly singer who was influential as a pioneer of female rockabilly. Her name arose because of her similarity to Sparkle Plenty, a supporting character in the Dick Tracy comic strip. Sparkle dressed in men's clothing, often including leather, and sported an Elvis-influenced pompadour.[2]

In 1956, she toured with Gene Vincent and was scheduled to perform on the Grand Ole Opry, which was subsequently cancelled due to illness. In 1957, Sparkle retired from music to concentrate on raising a family.[3]

In 2010, she released a 22 track CD of home recordings Spark-A-Billy.
