Bobby Martin is a famous music producer, he's well known for his colorful and soulful arrangements and orchestrations. Bobby Martin is the owner of Bobby Martin Productions, he is also that Philly Sound Producer that contributed so much to what we know today as "The Sound of Philadelphia" (TSOP). Without Bobby Martin, Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff there wouldn't be a Philly Sound (TSOP). Bobby Martin is not mentioned in Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs bio or in many of the articles released on Philadelphia International Records. He produced, arranged and composed hit after hit while working for Philadelphia Records. In fact Bobby Martin was producing hit records in Philadelphia before Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff ever began producing records. Bobby Martin was a mentor and a big encouragement to Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff in their early years. Bobby Martin Produced Kiss And Say Goodbye in Philadelphia, Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, MFSB, and the list goes on and on. The Philadelphia Soul producer is mentioned in most of the old articles that were published in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. why Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff have not mentioned Bobby Martin as being any more than a mere musician on sessions is in sane. Once in a while Bobby Martin is mentioned as a petty arranger that arranged once or twice. Bobby Martin was Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs head arranger that they used on all of their biggest hits, "every hit song." Bobby Martin Produced some of their Biggest hits. He was the bandleader of Philadelphia Records in house band that they used on all of their recording sessions for all of their artists. Bobby Martin won the Grammy for the song "T.S.O.P" with the MFSB. Bobby Martin wrote songs for Nancy Wilson, Lou Rawls and Billy Paul to name only a few, while working at Philadelphia International Records. Some people say that Bobby Martin discovered and founded disco music in the 1970s'. Others have called Bobby Martin The Granddaddy of R&B. One thing for sure, he did much more than arrange one or two songs at Philadelphia international records. Bobby Martin was and is the backbone of the 1970's soul and R&B music. His track record proves that he had out produced and arranged even the legendary Quincy Jones throughout the 1970's. Bobby Martins name is on all of Philadelphia International Records biggest hits, and Bobby himself has produced, arranged and written hundreds of hit songs. Producer Bobby Martins discography supports what I have just stated. This Bobby Martin started out producing in Philadelphia from the late 1950s until 1980, he was not with Motown Records. He had independent contracts with other record labels as well. But we all know him as the Philadelphia Arranger and Producer named Bobby Martin. This accurate information is not mentioned on any of Philadelphia International Records Websites etc. nor on any of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs articles. I assume that this is why people have asked if Bobby Martin had worked for Motown rather than Philadelphia International Records. Others assume that Bobby Martin is dead, or that he was never in Philadelphia and never existed, due to what they have seen on certain individuals websites. The Philadelphia Producer Bobby Martin is alive and well. While I searched online for the truth I found other Bobby Martins that were trying to steal his Identity. One person had the audacity to say that they owned Bobby Martin Productions. I'm glad that I did my research, regardless of what anyone has said it's clear to me that Bobby Martin is that Philadelphia Soul arranger and producer that brought us hit after hit. He is the Granddaddy of Philadelphia soul and R&B! I salute Bobby Martin, he is a legend in the music industry.

Did Bobby Martin change his name to Producer Bobby Martin?

I'm a Bobby Martin fan myself, I have a big collection of over three hundred songs that Bobby Martin wrote, arranged and produced. I don't have all of his records and songs, but I have quite a few. I can see where Bobby Martin had often produced and arranged the same albums, or songs and CDs. I know a thing or two about the legendary grammy award winning R&B producer named Bobby Martin, and I know that he was a maestro composer, conductor, arranger and producer. He's an African American celebrity that is famous and known for his outstanding and spectacular music productions. He's a legend and icon in the music industry. This same music producer named Bobby Martin is indeed the most famous of all Bobby Martins around the world. He was well known around Hollywood California in the late 1970's. Bobby Martin was well known and well respected as being the top R&B producer in the music industry, while working out of A&M records along with producer Quincy Jones. This had all happened in the 1970s before Quincy Jones went on to become super famous, and due to his success he had with Michael Jackson as a solo artist. However, about four years before Quincy Jones recorded Michael Jackson as a solo artist, Bobby Martin had already gone platinum with Michael Jackson in the year 1976. Bobby Martin composed and arranged the music on The Jacksons hit singles Enjoy Yourself and Show You The Way To Go. Anything that Bobby Martin touched would turn to gold. Hit songs like Me And Mrs. Jones, You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine by Lou Rawls and so many More. Bobby Martin had been producing hit after hit song since the late 1950's. Today it appears that other producers have tried to steal Bobby Martins identity or take credit for his songs and arrangements. Bobby Martin is said to be the one and only founder of R&B music. Bobby Martin success in the music industry dates back to the early 1950's, he played in an famous R&B group named Lynn Hope or Lynn Hope Orchestra. Bobby Martin recorded more than a few records with the group. However, his biggest success was in the late 1950's and up until 1960 when he discovered singer Patti LaBelle. Bobby Martin had arranged and produced several hit records by the year 1960, yet Patti LaBelle and the Bluebells gave Bobby Martin one of the biggest names in the music industry. Bobby Martin aka (Robert L. Martin) produced, wrote and arranged all of Patti LaBelles songs on her first album. Bobby Martin himself had invented a new sound, which would later be named the Philadelphia sound. Long before producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff jumped on board, Bobby Martin had already produced a tun of hit records in Philadelphia. The Biggest hit song that came out of Philadelphia was a song called Kiss And Say Goodbye, Bobby Martin produced this song in 1976 for The Manhattans after he finished up his sessions with The Jacksons in the same year. Clive Davis chose Bobby Martin alone to produce the album and The song kiss And say Goodbye broke the second biggest record in music history. The song went double platinum, and Bobby Martin was well known for being the worlds top R&B producer. Producers Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff used Bobby Martin to produce or arrange all of their best songs. Bobby Martin then went on to sign with Capitol Records, Columbia Records, Warner Bros., and so many others. Bobby Martin had even a greater success and track record than any of the producers signed with Motown in the late 1970's. Bobby Martin had offers coming at him left and right to sign or record music with so many different record labels. After winning a grammy for the Soul Train theme song (T.S.O.P.), Bobby Martin went on to produce Philadelphia International Records hit song K-Jee. This lead him to win the top Grammy of the year, for a production he did on the group MFSB. Bobby Martin was not only the producer of MFSB, he was the bandleader, conductor and head arranger as well. Bobby Martin is a very successful, wealthy and powerful icon in the music industry today. He is indeed famous and he is known as a celebrity producer and legend in the music industry. There are other famous music producers that have invented similar sounds to the Bobby Martin sound, some have even claimed to have produced Bobby Martins music. One thing I can say about that, is that there is only one Bobby Martin and he is like no others. Bobby Martin is indeed famous, he is the one and only Granddaddy of R&B music, and his discography of songs that he produced or wrote is too long to list in one paragraph. You would need a book to list all of the songs that Bobby Martin recorded, I say this because I tried to count them myself one night, I stayed up that whole night trying to count. All I can say is that this guy needs to be crowned king or something. Bobby Martin in my opinion, is the top producer in the world, he is amazing. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, he's worked with all kinds of famous singers and celebrities. I had the privilege of meeting him in person at an event that was held in Beverly Hills California in 2011, I took a picture with him as well. He was honored on stage that night, and it was an honor to meet him in person.

Are there Bobby Martin and Bobby Martin Productions impostors?

I've heard that popular name Bobby Martin being mentioned over and over again, I knew I had seen it somewhere, and I knew that I would recognize his face if I saw him. And so, I recognized him after I saw him on television in a (close up) Fox News interview called - Grammy Winning Producer on Whitney Houston. You can find him online if you search for that title I just mentioned. Bobby Martin is a Grammy Award winning music producer, he's also a celebrity and a legend in the music industry. He has been awarded all of the most prestigious awards that a music producer can be awarded. As a producer, he ranks right up there next to the legendary producer Quincy Jones. Doesn't the name Bobby Martin sound real familiar, I knew I had seen it somewhere. This is why the name Bobby Martin rigs a bell, just look on some of your records or CDs, you'll find his name on tuns of records. I even got an LTD record that has the Bobby Martin Productions logo on the actual record. This famous music producer named Bobby Martin was based in Philadelphia from 1950 to 1980, but there is a younger musician from Philadelphia that often claims to be this same producer and arranger, possibly in hopes to seek attention and fame. The younger musician named Robert/Bobby is not the famous producer and arranger named Bobby Martin, even if he is now claiming to be a producer. The younger musician is not even black (African American), I think he worked with Frank Zappa and he claims to be some kind of expert at what he does. I honestly feel like he is a liar that exaggerates in hopes to exalt himself in some kind of way, it's called identity theft. Bobby Martin is actually an older African American gentleman that you can easily find online if you search under the titles producer Bobby Martin or Bobby Martin Music Producer, instead of searching online for just Bobby Martin or Bobby Martin the impostor. We often refer to Bobby Martin as The Granddaddy of R&B, or Bobby Martin The Sound of Philadelphia. There are so many different ways to find this famous producer named Bobby Martin online, once you look past the impostors he's spread out all over the internet in probably a million different articles. I think he must be pretty famous if he's in all the articles and books all over the world. But for some wacky reason this famous producer named Bobby Martin doesn't pop up enough if you search for Bobby Martin online, and his name is Bobby Martin. I found this famous producer Bobby Martin all over the internet and that backs up or proves that what I've stated is true, but he's scattered all over the internet. The articles and bios on Bobby Martin are not in one place when searching online. The impostors named Bobby Martin pop up all over the place when you search under the name Bobby Martin, it's some kind of internet error or something. These kind of internet errors can make people think that Bobby Martin doesn't exist, it's like a library that's missing a book because someone stole it. There is even a football player that has no legs named Bobby Martin that is claiming to be a celebrity now! Why does the internet put these impostors online in the first place? Google searches are not accurate, where is Bobby Martin on Google? After doing a little research I could see how people could have gotten a little mixed up, but that's no excuse for Google. You can't trust Google or Wikipedia. There have been plenty and there will always be other Bobby Martins in the world. Some Bobby Martins are football players, some are handicapped, some are musicians and doctors. However, there is only one famous producer and original celebrity named Bobby Martin. Bobby Martin Productions was located in Hollywood California and is now located in Chula Vista California. There is even an impostor out there claiming to own Bobby Martin Productions. This kind of identity theft and fraud is happening on the internet, especially on Google. Is Google is the cause of this?


Did both producers Gamble and Huff lie about Bobby Martin?

I am a big fan of producers Gamble & Huff, however they have both failed to honor or mention the legendary PIR (Philadelphia International Records) arranger and producer Bobby Martin. It's the same pitiful inaccurate story every time Gamble & Huff are Interviewed. They do tell some positive truths about themselves, and then they leave out other main facts about the sound of Philadelphia and Philadelphia International Records. Many celebrities do this sort of upstaging and discrediting in hopes to outshine the other individuals or individual that is being left out of the interview on purpose. The public is often foolish enough to believe whatever they hear in an interview and never question any of it, and the ones interviewing are too lazy to do their research. Well, I'm not too unprofessional or too lazy to do my research, I have plenty of books out on the market to prove that! In fact, Bobby Martin is not the only one who's being neglected and lied about, but he is the most obvious amongst the others that were involved in developing or discovering the sound of Philadelphia. Gamble & Huff haven't given any thanks to the legendary arranger and producer Bobby Martin, they have degraded him. We are being lied to about our American music history and our African American History as well. I tried to contact Bobby Martin to get answers and I couldn't reach him, so then I started to dig up information on my own. I was amazed to find out how many songs Bobby Martin arranged, wrote and produced. Why hasn't anyone from Philadelphia International Records mentioned all of this? I would definitely have to say yes to the question above! Producers Gamble & Huff have lied about Bobby Martin. I had even concluded that Bobby Martin just a session musician, until I heard the songs that he arranged and produced. I found out that Bobby Martin had literally groomed and produced artists in Philadelphia way back in the late 1950s, before Gamble & Huff. Bobby Martin was with Philadelphia International Records from the very beginning as well. He has been producing and arranging hit songs in Philadelphia all along, winning Grammy Awards along the way. Bobby Martin is a real legend on his own, and without Philadelphia International Records. Bobby Martin was there recording in Philadelphia before and after Philadelphia International Records, and in between as well. I am a historian and a music lover that loves soul music. Every time that Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff are interviewed they withhold valuable information from the public, especially when it concerns Bobby Martin. Robert L. Martin (Bobby Martin) was a key player involved in developing The Sound of Philadelphia. Bobby Martin produced and arranged some of their biggest hits, it was not Tom Bell nor Gamble & Huff that arranged Philadelphia International Records biggest hit songs. Once again, I am a big fan of Gamble and Huff, as well as Bobby Martin and Tom Bell. Tom Bell is mentioned and given some credit now and then for his support and contribution to the sound of Philadelphia. Bobby Martin arranged the song named TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia) and he is being outright cheated and lied about, he's never mentioned. Bobby Martins contribution to the sound of Philadelphia may have been greater than anyone's. It's not that Gamble & Huff don't ever tell the truth, it's that they've lied over and over again in interviews by leaving out Bobby Martin.
