  1. I went to a show Bobby headlined in Surrey many years ago. He put on a great performance both singing and interacting with the audience. He seem like a really nice guy.

  2. As a radio disc jockey in the early 60’s I never meet a more down to earth person. I will always remember how accommodating he was. On a Friday night at 1:30 am in 1962 after a concert performance he stopped by the radio station I was working at and did a half hour interview. What an example of a generous and selfless person. RIP Bobby we will never forget your youthful enthusiasm and consideration.
