Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers

Bobby Taylor and The Vancouvers are a Canadian soul band from Vancouver, British Columbia. The group was formed in 1963 by Bobby Taylor, who was born Robert Edward Taylor on February 18, 1934, in Washington, D.C. Before forming the band, Taylor sang in doo-wop groups and was part of The Four Pharaohs, releasing a few locally-selling recordings in Columbus, Ohio.
