A Legend Departs: Bobbie Smith (1937-2013)


What a loss....Bobbie Smith had one of the most distinctive & soulful voices I've ever heard. When you think of the golden age of soul music, his voice ranks up there with the likes of Levi Stubbs (Four Tops), Marvin Junior (Dells),  Russell Thompkins Jr (Stylistics) & Maurice White/Phillp Bailey (Earth, Wind & Fire). His voice has left an indelible imprint on the hearts of many with songs like "Sadie", "Games People Play" & "Ghetto Child", to name a few.

Thanks for the memories, brother.
