In the late-1950s rock and roll had been around roughly a decade.
He recorded several songs that didn’t get major airplay at the time but would become bigger hits either in that decade with other artists-such as “Little Bitty Pretty One” with Thurston Harris and the Jackson Five-or in the following decades as was the case with “Over and Over.” Throughout the 1950s he performed in several acts such as the Satellites and Bob & Earl. His early career saw him as the lead singer of the R&B/doo-wop group the Hollywood Flames under the name Bobby Byrd. It would be two hits that made him a part of rock history. Through many decades in the music industry, he would be involved in several acts. We would start his career in 1953 or 1954 as a teenager in Los Angeles. Bobby Day, born Robert James Byrd, left his birthplace in Fort Worth, Texas to pursue a music career.
