Bobby McClure was one of many great artists discovered by St Louis R&B raconteur Oliver Sain. Sain, a true renaissance man, worked as a band leader, songwriter, talent scout, producer and arranger; he also counts Little Milton and Fontella Bass among his discoveries.
Bobby McClure had the type of voice that should have made him a star; dripping with emotion, his records could evoke the type of emotion that Sam Cooke conveyed. Bobby basically left the music business in the early '70's, and worked as an Illiniois corrections officer until his death of an aneurysm in 1992 at the far-too-early age of 50.
from 1965...
