Music Information

The Bobs

The Bobs are an a cappella group that formed in 1981, the original four members all worked for the same singing telegram outfit in San Fransisco, California. Unlike many a cappella groups, The Bobs are not doo-wop. They sing what could only be called New Wave A Cappella, and their covers are of contemporary songs and not more traditional ones.
