Sad to say but Bobby Rogers has left us. Dam what an unforgettable series of deaths in such a short time. I came here to check and didn't see anything. I am speechless.......:[[

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.

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:

I know we're all only here for a season, I just wish the time didn't go so fast. RIP Mr. Rogers and thanks for the music.

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!

Drew we would go see this show every time it played at the Regal Theatre, then at various other theaters on the Southside of Chicago....The Met, The Michigan and Capitol . It was always a good reason to go to the movies and Smokey and nem jammed they azz off......[[ the audience would go wild like they were at an actual performance.)Our boy Smokey didn't get stiff until later on in his career......;)

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.
