 Bobby Talks about the Beatles tour with
Classic Bands.com


Q - How did you get the tour with The Beatles? Were you approached by Brian Epstein?

A - No. Sid Bernstein. That's who did that. Sid did that for me.

Q - Where did you go with The Beatles?

A - The U.S. tour. The last tour that they made. We opened up in Chicago and I think we ended in 'Frisco.

Q - How were you received by The Beatles audience? Were they screaming for The Beatles?

A - Oh, no. They listened to me.

Q - That's impressive.

A - Well, that was one of the highlights of my entire career, to have 50,000 people there and actually being heard. I loved the audience. They loved me very much and I'm very happy over that. That was one of the greatest things that I felt during my whole career.

Q - Had you ever performed before 50,000 people before?

A - Not 50,000, but with Roy Acuff And The Smokey Mountain Boys, there were some large crowds of people.

Q - How did touring with The Beatles help your career?

A - Well, it gave me a little encouragement and motivation on things that I thought I needed to do to continue correctly, even though I wasn't as strong as I wanted to become in certain areas. But once again, no one would listen to me. They wanted me to do what John Doe was doing.

Q - You can never be like the next guy.

A - That's true. That's an old Biblical statement there. Did so and so die for you? You must be yourself.

Q - What did you follow up "Sunny" with?

A - "A Satisfied Mind".

Q - After The Beatles tour, you went on tour with who?

A - Gary Lewis And The Playboys. And I did something with Gary four or five years ago. I'm a good friend of Gary's. He's always been a hard worker. I did something with Chuck Jackson. The Temptations.
