Today on
LA Sounds I’m dedicating my entire show to my brother, Bob Elkins, who passed
away May 13th (born July 18, 1936 and died May 13, 2021) by playing
a lot of gospel and other music that moves me by The Dixie Hummingbirds,
Harmonizing Four, Linda Ronstadt, the Staple Singers, Aretha Franklin, Elvis
Presley and the Swan Silvertones. Bob was my oldest brother who was a major
role model in my life and a more like a father figure. He’s been there for me
my entire life.
