About Bobby Goldsboro

Bobby Goldsboro’s career has been a remarkable evolution. This multi-talented performer started out in the early sixties as a guitarist with the legendary Roy Orbison. During his three years with Orbison he traveled all over the world and even toured with The Beatles.

In 1964 Bobby started his solo career by recording the first of a string of sixteen top-forty hits, “See the Funny Little Clown.” One of his first concert bookings had him opening for the Rolling Stones on their first U.S. tour! More million-selling hits followed, setting the stage for 1968 and the classic, “Honey,” which became the largest-selling record in the world! “Watching Scotty Grow,” “Little Green Apples” and “With Pen in Hand” have also become classics.

1973 brought Bobby his own nationally syndicated television show, which ran for three successful seasons and became the highest rated variety show in syndication in the ‘70’s. His quick wit made him a much sought-after “regular” on the tv talk show circuit as well. Bobby then formed House of Gold Music, which became one of the most successful music publishing companies in Nashville, publishing such songs as “Wind Beneath My Wings” and “Behind Closed Doors.”

Bobby Goldsboro, the songwriter has received twenty-seven B.M.I. awards and his compositions have been recorded by such diverse artists as Aretha Franklin, John Denver, Paul Anka, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, Dr. John and Bette Midler. His compositions, “With Pen in Hand” and “Autumn of My Life” are members of B.M.I.’s exclusive “Million-airs Club,” which contains only those songs which have been played on the air over one million times! Bobby’s classic composition, “Summer, the First Time” was recently voted the greatest summer song ever in England!

In the mid-eighties Bobby began to devote more time to writing and producing children’s stories. His first effort, “Easter Egg Mornin’” premiered as an animated Easter special in 1991 on The Disney Channel. The special quickly reached “gold” status in sales and has been The Disney Channel’s top Easter special for over a decade!

Bobby now has a dozen videos and ten best-selling children’s books on the market, yet he has found the time to show his versatility by writing, orchestrating and performing the music for several best-selling audio books, among them William Peter Blatty’s classic, “The Exorcist.”

The 1993 television season saw the hit CBS comedy, “Evening Shade” premiere with a new theme song, written and performed by Bobby. The six-time Grammy nominee was also the new musical director of the show, which starred his buddy, Burt Reynolds. Bobby composed new music for the series each week. At the close of the ‘93 season Bobby was awarded a B.M.I. Songwriter Award and his theme song for “Evening Shade” was voted "Television's Best Theme Song"!

In 1999, Bobby was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. He joined fellow inductees Wilson Pickett and The Temptations for a memorable evening of hits!

Bobby’s popularity has spanned several generations because of the kinds of songs he has written and chosen to record. Still, not one to rest on his laurels Bobby has undertaken a mammoth new project- a new children’s tv series, “The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon.” Already seen on PBS, The Learning Channel, AmericaOne Network, Dish Network and Sky Angel, Bobby writes the scripts, writes and arranges all the music, plays all the instruments and even does all the character voices! The show features animal characters with computer controlled mouth movements and that incredible Goldsboro music! Bobby has also produced a live Swamp Critters show that has already played extended engagements at Jazzland Theme Park in New Orleans, Silver Springs Attraction in Florida and the South Florida Fair. 

Recently, the energetic dynamo decided to start painting and has quickly gained a reputation as a world-class artist! Having never studied painting, the self-taught artist is now being featured in one-man art shows at galleries around the country. His paintings are being bought up by fans and art lovers alike and Bobby and his wife, Dianne regularly donate paintings and giclee prints to charities for fund-raisers. His paintings now hang in the Ocala/Marion County Visitor's and Convention Bureau as well as gracing the cover of the prestigious coffee table book, "Ocala, a Portrait of Life."

Bobby is still an in-demand and popular concert performer and he still enjoys entertaining his many fans. In a business notorious for chewing up its greatest heroes, Bobby Goldsboro has come through unscathed, as healthy and wholesome as the clean-cut country boy he was in the halcyon days of rock and roll. Like fine wine, Bobby has improved with age. And, the best of Bobby Goldsboro may be yet to come.
