About Bob Dorough

Hometown

Cherry Hill, AR, United States

Born

December 12, 1923

Genre

Jazz

An Arkansan by birth, singer and pianist Bob Dorough came to New York in 1950, and was soon hired by Sugar Ray Robinson as musical director for an act the heavyweight champion was putting together. After a sojourn in Paris with fellow singers Blossom Dearie and Annie Ross, Dorough returned to the States in the mid-'50s and released his debut, DEVIL MAY CARE, on the Bethlehem label in 1956. It would be another decade before the idiosyncratic singer released another solo album, 1966's JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, which included a lively version of Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right." Dorough was perhaps best known for serving as musical director for the educational series SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK! and producing the L.A. pop vocal group Spanky & Our Gang.

Bob Dorough has also released music as a member of Bob Dorough Quintet and Bob Dorough Quartet.
