He is credited with inventing the breakdown section and the 12-inch single vinyl format. Moulton achieved a breakthrough with a continuous-mix tape created for The Sandpiper on Fire Island, which led to his work on the Gloria Gaynor disco album Never Can Say Goodbye (1975). He is famous for remixing hits such as The Three Degrees' “Dirty Ol' Man” (1973), The Trammps' “Disco Inferno” (1976), and Andrea True's “More, More, More” (1976).
