It's great when I'd hear your great tone of voice on radio once in awhile! A Icon to me for the great memories you've given me how it was then! Rest in peace! I still have my ears open to hear you sing from the past on radio I can't get enough of! Joe C Johnson.

"Does Your Mama Know About Me" is my favorite song of my life. I actually saw the movie, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" when it came out and fell in love with that song. Of course I love other songs by him and the Vancouvers, but the words and melody were forever enticing. R.I.P. you did a great job.

Rip a fan,

Rip, a fan,

I was lucky to have known you. I was even luckier to have you inspire me with your voice and more so, to call you a friend. You will be missed. Fond memories forever. Rest in peace.

Bobby - thank you so much for all of your music and entertainment. It was fantastic to see you over the years and to meet you when you first got started as Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers. I remember being in your hotel room with my friend Trena and enjoying a full day of fun and excitement and some good fried chicken and hearing the song "Does You Momma Know About Me" before it was released. That was indeed a treat. I will always remember you and it was great seeing you in Gastown...
