Bobby Comstock

about

Bobby Comstock (born in Ithaca, NY, on 29 December 1941; died 9 January 2020) was an American rock & roll guitarist and singer who had success in the late 1950s and early 1960s both as a solo singer and leader of Bobby Comstock & the Counts. His biggest hits were a version of "Tennessee Waltz" in 1959, and "Let's Stomp" in 1963. His teen-oriented adaptation of Patti Page's "Tennessee Waltz" was performed as a 4/4 rocker instead of a waltz, which he followed with a similar rock & roll treatment of Hank Williams' "Jambalaya." "Let's Stomp" is a dance song similar to Ray Charles' "What'd I Say," and "Your Boyfriend's Back" is an answer to the well-known hit by the Angels. Comstock continued rockin' the oldies with an interpretation of Gogi Grant's "The Wayward Wind" and apes Elvis Presley on "Jealous Fool." Later in the '60s, Comstock met the British Invasion head-on with a tribute to the Beatles titled "The Beatle Bounce" and an energetic cover of the Searchers' "Ain't That Just Like Me." Originally waxed for labels such as Blaze, Atlantic, Jubilee, Lawn, Mohawk, and Triumph. In 1968 Comstock formed a short-lived band, Zebra, which recorded for Phillips Records, and then established another band, Comstock Ltd., which released several singles for Bell Records between 1969 and 1972. He also established himself as a regular member of rock and roll revival tours, especially as part of Dick Clark's "Caravan of Stars", where he performed with Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jackie Wils
