We talk to Bobby about his life growing up in South Carolina, far from the spotlight, far from his father, and how he’s forged his own musical career as a singer, performer, impressionist and songwriter in his own right. He’s shared the stage with Bruno Mars as part of his the band Peter and the Love Notes in Waikiki after a Navy discharge, he was ‘discovered’ by Paul Revere of (you guessed it) the iconic 60s band Paul Revere and the Raiders and Bobby talks to us about his deep roots connections to Billy Davis, The Four Tops, The Temptations and more. But no spoilers….we are going to leave it here for now. You are just going to have to listen to this episode to find out just what makes this story so unique, so different and so truly unbelievable that you simply could not make it up. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a Listen.
