Bobby rose to fame as a founding member of the Philly Sound band MFSB, which crushed the charts with its hit single TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) back in ‘74.
Born Eli Tatarsky, Eli worked with numerous artists as a musician, arranger, composer, and producer. Some of them include the Jacksons, David Bowie, Jay-Z, Hall And Oates, Patti LaBelle, Elton John, B.B. King, Wilson Pickett, George Clinton, the Temptations, Curtis Mayfield, and Shaggy. He was also a session player for Gamble & Huff’s Philadelphia International label in the ’70s.
But wait, there’s more. Bobby is also credited as writer of Major Harris’ smash hit from 1975, Love Won’t Let Me Wait which was a classic example of the era, where moaning and groaning sounds were dubbed in the background. ;)
