I just got a message from someone who used to work at Motown records that Bobby Taylor has transitioned to the Heavenly mansion. He passed in Hong Kong after a battle with cancer. Hes now with the Lord and free from pain.

A huge thanks for Paul_Nixon in producing his anthology such great works. I hope sometime in the future more Bobby's works that maybe in the vaults get released, so we can carry on remembering him by. RIP Bobby.

Thanks for all the links. About time this pivotal figure's passing got some more coverage.
I last spoke with Bobby when he called me at my Motown book signing last October. He always made me laugh. He called me Raaaaaaaf...A huge talent. You will be missed Bobby Taylor.
I signed the Guest Book online and noticed that Stevie Wonder and Jackie Jackson have also signed and express their condolences.
