Long known as the  'powerhouse singer'  from Montreal, Canada,

   	Bobby Lee Silcott  "belted out the blues" since  the mid-60's

       when he was the frontman for the popular soul group Cold Power. There

       was no mistaking his voice - the  power and emotion that he brought with him

       every time he stood up to sing. Bobby said "Music is soul. It's

       something inside that you feel and you want  to release  and share with

	others". Share it  with others he did- to experience one of his live

	performances was unforgettable.

	His live show paid tribute to the great blues and soul singers of the 50's 

	and 60's including Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett and his favourite - Ray 

	Charles.  "Ray Charles has always been my hero" he said. When Bad Bobby Lee  

	sang When A Man Loves A Woman, time seemed to stand still for a few moments. 

	His soul &  r 'n b review captured a moment in time when music was fresh and from the soul.
	
	Bobby also included original songs in his live repertoire.

	

	His list of festivals and corporate events was impressive. 	

	The Canadian blues and soul vocalist played all  

	the major blues festivals in and around Quebec 

	including the Montreal International Jazz Festival. 	

	He would give freely of his time for charitable causes, 

	appearing frequently on telethons and performing for 

	the underprivileged. 

 
	In 1998 Bad Bobby Lee  celebrated his 30th year in show business, releasing 

	Voodoo  and touring extensively to support the album.

	Over the years the music has changed, styles have come and gone- Bobby Lee Silcott remained true to his roots. 

	Sadly, Bobby passed away May 17, 2007 after a long courageous bout with cancer. 

	  He is missed greatly by his fans & friends and family and fellow musicians.
