“Much More Than Music, It’s Music For The Cause” ™
Bobbye Hall - began her career playing in jazz clubs in Detroit when she was too young to buy the drinks served to the patrons. Her talent was soon recognized throughout the Motor City and led to a busy career recording in sessions with a number of Motown legends, including Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, The Temptations, Mary Wells, Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Patti La Belle and the vast majority of the Motown recording artists. After living in Europe for a couple of years, Bobbye moved to Los Angeles and began to delve into a broader spectrum of musical styles which included performances with Barbara Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Johnny Mathis, and she also performed on Janis Joplin's final album. From summer tours with Harry Belafonte in Las Vegas, to the Carnegie Hall with James Taylor and "Live With Bill Withers," Bobby has toured the U.S. and Europe extensively with Carole King, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Tracy Chapman. Record credits include "Body Heat" with Quincy Jones, "The Wall" with Pink Floyd, "Street Legal" with Bob Dylan, "Red Octopus" wit hJefferson Starship, and the five platinum "Bella Donna" by Stevie Nicks. Motion picture and television credits include both the "Rocky" and "Roots" soundtracks, and a small bite from the acting bug resulted in a cameo film role in "Roots" and "Ping" in the Budweiser commercials.
