Bobby Davis was a great inspiration to many in the music business. The countless DJ’s and Record Executives that came out of SURE are too many to mention, but one thing I always loved about Bobby Davis, he always treated everyone fairly. DJ number 1 was just as important as DJ 150. Something that many Record Pools failed to do for many years. There were no politics played when it came to Mr. Bobby E. Davis’s DJ’s. I thank everyone that has spoken very highly of Bobby E. Davis. May we all keep his legacy alive forever.
Musically Yours,
Eddie Rodriguez
Assistant Director Of SURE Record Pool
Eddie my condolences Bobby was a great man, I cannot even believe that im typing this wow smh I am absolutely speechless. God rest his soul.
I was a NYC hip hop artist going by the name Incredible Mr. Freeze in the early 80s when I met Brother Bobby. No one can underestimate the amazing impact that Bobby and the SURE djs had on rap music. They broke it wide open. After all of these years, I just decided to google his name on a whim. I am sorry that he is gone. The world is a better place because he passed by.
Thanks for contributing a comment. Bobby touched many people’s lives. I’m happy to hear from just some of the great people he’s touched.
I would like to first send my condolences to the family. I would also like to say that I wanted to know if my husband or my son had any info on line. I am so surprised to see another person that loves music with my husbands and my son’s name. So I give tribute to Mr. Bobby E. Davis, and I want you to know that My Bobby E. Davis Jr is an up and coming great Musician. Look out for, “Da Docta”, Keywiz Jr. Mr.Gospel music.
First my condolences to Bobby’s family, and my apologizes I Just found this tribute now.
Bobby was a great man a friend and a mentor to me for the many years I was involved in S.U.R.E. We spent many a memorable moment together over the years. Although I haven’t been involved over the years I would now and then call Bobby just to say Hi and share a laugh. I will remember his smile and kindness the rest of my life and I would just like to echo what Ediie said so precisely, it never mattered if you were #1 or #150 Bobby treated us all as equils. R.I.P. My Friend Turn It Up, One More Time.
