There is a thread in the Motown threads, Paladin, but I think it's very appropriate on the main forum as well.
Such sad news. We're losing too many, too fast. Mr. Roger's legacy will live on through his music.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Mary he Rest In Peace...

I posted a Detroit News article on the thread in the Motown Forum, but the Free Press did a very good job reporting the story, too.

Don't worry about it. News like this [[all be it sad news) belongs here, too......
One of my favorite memories of Bobby Rogers was watching him and the gang perform "Mickey's Monkey". He was just great on all counts and I will miss him.
Here is a great interview Bobby did in Feb. 2010 in Detroit:

My memory of Bobby Rogers is that he bought me a dinner at Ms. Pearl's house circa 1966 when he and the Miracles were appearing at the Uptown along with the Madlads. Ms. Pearl sold dinners at her home in back of the Uptown and Bobby treated me and my girlfriend. Colton has the picture to prove it. Rest in Peace Mr. Rogers.
Nosey! Ms. Pearls! I remember her. She fixed take out dinners across the street from the Uptown right? That is the woman Mary Wilson has been trying to remember in several of her recent inteviews in Philly. Thanks!Quote:

There are just no words.....Bobby's spirit touched so much of my life.
Don't Let It End, Until You Let It Begin my friend....
My prayers go out to the family.
Bobby was one of the nicest guys that I meet in this business
Whenever we worked with them,
Him and I always talked and hung out.
He will be missed.
