Jimmy Reed. Bobby was also band leader at the world-famous Longhorn Ballroom for eight years, and has performed at almost every supper club, honky tonk, ballroom and night club in the Southwest.

The early 1980’s found Bobby in Nashville as a staff writer with Mel Tillis Enterprises, and several of his songs reached the national charts. His musical catalog was later sold to BMG Music Group, Inc., of Los Angeles, and he continued with them for the next two years. Bobby Charles now performs at the finer restaurants and showrooms of the north Texas area. He currently appears at Ernie's of North Dallas in Addison, TX with his band.
