Robert Ellis Orrall is one of the most popular and richest Rock Singer who was born on May 4, 1955 in Winthrop, Massachusetts, United States. Bob Something is his stage name. He is a songwriter and record producer.
He was also a co-writer of songs for Taylor Swift’s debut album.
Born in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Orrall got his musical start playing in various Boston, Massachusetts area clubs. He signed with RCA in 1980 as a rock artist. His three RCA albums, Fixation, Special Pain and Contain Yourself were supported by band mates Kook Lawry on guitar, Don Walden on bass, David Stefanelli on drums and Brian Maes on keys with tours opening for U2, The Kinks, and NRBQ. Orrall’s Special Pain also produced his first chart single in “I Couldn’t Say No”, a duet with Carlene Carter (also her first chart hit) which peaked in the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. Carter, like Orrall, would eventually become a country music star in her own right.
Shortly after his song topped the charts, Orrall’s publisher BMG Music urged him to perform his songs at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. He was then offered a second record deal with RCA. Titled Flying Colors, Orrall’s first country album produced three charting singles, including a Top 20 in “Boom! It Was Over”, as well as “A Little Bit of Her Love” and “Every Day When I Get Home”. In 1993, Clay Walker reached Number One on the country charts with Orrall’s “What’s It to You”, another Wright co-write.
He was married to Christine Leverone, and they have two sons, Jake and Jamin.
