At legendary Boston club The Sugar Shack, Bobby Bell learned music from James Brown, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, and Eddie Hazel of Parliament/Funkadelic. It was here that he got a chance to play for Patti LaBelle and Jeff Beck. His musical performance so impressed Patti LaBelle's band that they asked him to join their band in Philadelphia six months later. Today an accomplished guitar player and charismatic stage performer, Bobby Bell has captivated audiences with his music ever since.
