From the heartland of America,
Bobby G. Rice first burst forth onto the music scene with a 1970
revival of the popular Jimmy Gilmore pop classic “Sugar Shack” and then
Bruce Channel’s “Hey Baby”.
Born into a
musical family with its own radio show, Bobby began performing publicly
at an early age. Later he decided to test
his wings as a solo artist in his native Wisconsin. He succeeded,
however, beyond expectations: scoring nationally. As a stylist, he proved especially adept
in adding country flavor to spicy standards like “Lover Please”,
“Mountain of Love” and “Suspicion” Still, it was
in introducing his own song “You Lay So Easy On My Mind”
in late 1972, that he found a lasting niche in country music. “You Lay so Easy On My Mind”
went on to be his first number one national chart record and was later
recorded by such artists as Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, Roy
Orbison, Pat Boone, Andy Williams, David Houston, Jerry Springer and
others. Proving he was no “one-hit
wonder”, he scored the next spring with another Top 10 tune “You Give
Me You”. He is that
rare breed who shows us that, talent will win, by
recording his initial hits on independent labels. With
his career in high gear, he followed through with more Top 10 singles,
among them, “Write Me A Letter” and “Freda Comes Freda Goes”. Country classics he has breathed new life into
include, “Pick Me Up On Your Way Down”, “My Special Angel” and “Oh Baby
Mine”. Bobby
G. Rice
was the first major artist to record a song written by Teddy Gentry of
“Alabama”. The song was
“I May Never Be Your Lover (But I‘ll Always Be Your Friend)”. Despite
such accomplishments, he
has always been among the first to volunteer his talents for a benefit
or worthy cause. He remains the
same, Bobby G. Rice, one step beyond ordinary entertainment.
