Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Bobby moved to Toledo in 1945. He started playing banjo when he was six years old (his uncle was the legendary "Banjo Bill" from Rome, Georgia.) Bobby switched to guitar when he was 16 years old. During his career Bobby has performed with such blues legends as T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Freddie King and B.B. King. In 1965, Bobby was summoned to Memphis to record with the legendary Stax recording band. Bobby's guitar work can be heard on recordings by Issac Hayes, Betty Everett and Rufus Thomas. He also recorded for Savoy Records with Blues Carson and Fortune Records in Detroit, backing Johnnie Mae Mathews.
