Bobby Boyd
The vocalist, saxophonist, composer and arranger Bobby Boyd started his musical adventure in the mid-'60s with the release of his debut single 'My Type Of Dancin' on Veep Records in 1965, a fledgling R&B subsidiary label of United Artists. One day he got a lift from Jimmy Boyd, George Benson's manager, who introduced him to George at his home recording studio in the Bronx. The two got on so well that Benson became a life-long mentor and produced tracks which ended up being released in 1976 as a self-titled album on Tiger Lily. The label released it without promotion coupled with a tiny pressing run, and it was pretty much doomed to instant obscurity. Here comes a long-awaited 2023 remastered edition.
