Bobby picked up his first guitar when he was six years old. His musical career started in church singing gospel music with his family, billed as "The Warren Singers". Everyone in the family was musical, between Bobby's eight brothers and sisters. His mother was the leader of the pack and she sang the bass parts in the group. When Bobby was eight years old, he appeared on an RCA recording by the Zion Trumpeters playing guitar and singing. Still as a young boy his family moved from Mississippi to the state of Ohio. In Dayton Bobby played back up guitar with "Big Joe Bush" & The House Rockers. The family band broke up when Bobby was eleven years old and he kept on singing and playing music. His family nicknamed him "The Wonderer" as he started playing music with a lot's of other people. In 1970 Bobby moved to Los Angeles and landed his first job at the Hideaway Inn on Avalon Boulevard.
