Bobby Doyle was an American singer, bassist, and pianist. Over his 50 year performing career, he earned a reputation as a "musician's musician" for his versatility with jazz, R&B, and pop standards. He is best known for his early work with a young Kenny Rogers and for a brief stint with Blood, Sweat & Tears. He played piano on two tracks on BS&T's 1972 album ''New Blood''. Doyle joined the doo-wop group The Spades (later The Slades) in 1957 while still at McCallum High School in Austin. In 1960 he formed The Bobby Doyle Three with Don Russell and standup bass player Kenny Rogers, then a student at the University of Texas. Rogers soon dropped out of college to join Doyle full-time, singing high harmony and playing bass on the group's 1962 album ''In A Most Unusual Way''. The trio disbanded in 1965, and Rogers went on to become a country-pop sensation. Doyle continued as a solo artist, releasing multiple singles and albums including an appearance on the soundtrack for the 1971 film ''Vanishing Point''. Doyle was born blind as a result of his mother contracting German measles during pregnancy. An operation in 1959 to restore his sight, paid for by his high school friends, was unsuccessful. == Discography == Singles〔Label scans available at www.45cat.com〕 ''The Spades'' (Don Windell Burch, John Goeke, Tommy Kaspar, Bobby Doyle (bass), Joyce Webb) *Domino Records, Austin, Texas, 1957 ::OR200/OR100: "Baby"/"You Mean Everything To Me" *Liberty Records, Hollywood, California, December 23, 1957 :: F-55118: "Baby"/"You Mean Everything To Me" (also released in Canada on London Liberty F-55118 (45 rpm) and LI.55118 (78 rpm)) ''The Slades'' (Don Burch, John Goeke, Tommy Kaspar, Bobby Doyle, Jimmy Davis, Joyce Webb (Liberty single only)) *Liberty Records, Hollywood, California, December, 1957 (reissue with name change to Slades) :: F-55118: "Baby"/"You Mean Everything To Me" *Domino Records, Austin, Texas ::OR300/OR400: "Right Here"/"After You've Gone" (Joyce Webb with The Slades), 1957 ::R-500: "You Cheated"/"The Waddle", July 1958 (also released in Canada on Sparton 4-635R (45 rpm) and 636R (78 rpm) ::R-800: "You Gambled"/"No Time", 1958 (also released in Canada on Reo 8316X) ::R-901: "It's Better To Love"/"Just You", 1959 (promo release was R-900) ::1000: "You Must Try"/"Summertime", June 1959 ::R-903: "I Cheated (Joyce Harris and The Slades)/"Do You Know What It's Like To Be Lonesome?"
