Robert "Bobby" Davis was born on July 21st, 1942 in Yorkshire, England. He emigrated to New Zealand in 1959 and based himself in Christchurch, where he sang for a couple of years, recording on the "Peak" label with his group the Dazzlers. He moved to Auckland in 1963 and emerged with a band called The Wanderers who recorded Z45/1160 "Short Fat Horrie (Long Tall Texan)"/"No Vacancy" in 1964 on the Zodiac label. The Wanderers then became The Bob D. Five, and they recorded the single Z45/1193 "High School Confidential"/"I Go Ape" in 1964 - again for Zodiac. Bobby disbanded the group after that, and from 1965 to 1969 he released six more singles in his own right. Bobby was on the six week whistle-stop C'Mon '67 Tour throughout New Zealand. |
