"People don't know me much or the way I look and that's OK. To this day, most probably think I'm some group." Over a four year period in the 1970's, Lobo made the singles chart 14 times. Top 40 hits seemed never ending. His folk-countryLobo circa 1971 flavored "I'd Love You To Want Me", "Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend" and "Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" won positions in the nation's Top listings on "Adult Contemporary" radio stations. Lobo was born in Tallahassee, Florida on July 31, 1943. He is one of seven children raised in Winter Haven, Florida which is in the central part of the state. "I never met my father." "I knew that my mother had sung in a big band. I never questioned her about Dad. It seemed something not to talk about." Years later he learned that his dad had been a big band guitar player. "I never had any lessons, and nobody in my family was interested in music but my older brother Roger, who has had some country tunes recorded." "Some kid down the street showed me what he knew on a worn Doboro. I had a paper route, and when I had learned enough chords to sing with, I bought a little amp and an electric guitar, a Stratocaster, it was. It was such a fancy guitar that I was asked into this band." In 1961 he was asked to joined his first band "The Rumours". He was 18 and in the first rock 'n' roll band in Winter Haven. "We'd play The Rays, Silhouettes, Runaway and tunes by The Ventures." Jim Stafford and Gram Parsons were in the other band in town called "The Legends". Later on when both bands had disbanded, Stafford and Parsons would join LaVoie in a revised version of "The Rumors". Parsons died at a young age and Stafford would later be co produced by LaVoie resulting in the chart topping hit "Spiders And Snakes". As a child he wanted to be a veterinarian but after attending St. Petersburg Junior College and in 1963 the University of South Florida, he decided to enter the music field. He joined the band "The Sugar Beats" with Bill Denman on Bass, Rick Emmert on Drums, Bill Ellington and Lobo on Guitar. That's when he met producer Phil Gernhard. That was the start of a relationship that would create a dozen hits in the 1970's. His first record was with the Sugar Beats in 1964 called "What Am I Doing Here?" backed with "Have You Ever Had The Blues" released on a regional label in Florida. It sold 500 units and brought the group to college stardom. The limelight didn't last long as the group fell prey to the draft. Kent served in the Army Reserve. Then in 1966 Lobo's second recording came while, for a short time, he was with the group "US Male", which included former "Impacs" band member Jay Angelo. They released a single under the band name "The Uglies", "It's Gonna Be So Hard" backed with "Is This Guy" again released on a regional label. From 1967 through 1970 Lobo was a member of the band "Me And The Other Guys" which was fronted by Frank "Dutch" Walton. Me And The Other Guys included Billy Aerts, Chuck Doughtery, Kent LaVoie, Leon Massey and Dutch Walton. While Lobo was with this band in 1967 they recorded a single "Runaround Girl/Everybody Knew But Me" released on the Boss record label. Lobo did not sing on this recording.I'm not the author of this album No Music, I asked him for the love of music and the people who love music and ja_Thanks Hello !II am not the author of music, nor is this my album on here is set for the love of music greetings to everyone !!!
