Bobby G Summers

After beginning his professional music career in the early '80s as a member of the esteemed urban group Deele alongside <a href="spotify:artist:3qEzkkBwK5vKVggMiZYOWa">L.A. Reid</a>, Bobby G. Summers went on to a modest career as a producer/songwriter. His first big production opportunity came when Motown offered him the chance to work on <a href="spotify:artist:0kgRUfll9o7J1fTCBM1pLI">General Kane</a>'s In Full Chill album in 1986, an album he co-wrote, produced, and performed on. Then, after contributing heavily to <a href="spotify:artist:7vqRaKGJxWmSgNHDw7dfYW">Andy Belling</a>'s Imagine That! and Caren Glasser's There's Nobody Else Like You in 1992, <a href="spotify:artist:3rHBApuFwaJy65f7vWQJLr">Summers</a> began working with <a href="spotify:artist:0Z4CzYz9ieK8q9XiVMPkW5">the Bar-Kays</a> on their 48 Hours album, producing and co-writing several of the album's songs. In addition to his studio work, <a href="spotify:artist:3rHBApuFwaJy65f7vWQJLr">Summers</a> toured with <a href="spotify:artist:0Z4CzYz9ieK8q9XiVMPkW5">the Bar-Kays</a> and both directed and performed with the Enterprise Orchestra featuring <a href="spotify:artist:3dkbV4qihUeMsqN4vBGg93">Al Green</a>, a relationship that endured for more than ten years, culminating in a seven-minute megamix of Green's music for EMI in 1999. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
