Highland baptist church gordo al7/8/2023 ![]() ![]() I still love to gather around the piano and sing with my mom and sis! She always had to sing the melody if she was playing piano (which was the only way we ever sang), so she’d teach my big sister Stephanie and I what part to sing in order to make the trio. She taught me everything I know about singing and singing parts. SGM- Who were the biggest musical influences upon you growing up?īS- Without a doubt, my mom, Helen Sellers. My real job was commercial loan officer at a bank, and I never aspired to or thought it would even be possible to sing for a living. I started singing a few solos and getting involved with our local quartet scene and was eventually asked to join a part-time regional group in 2004. A few years out of school my wife and late mother-in-law discovered that I did and their prodding and encouragement is what got me back into it. Nobody I graduated high school with had any clue that I sang. I was exposed to it all around but in my teenage years I got really shy and did not sing for years. My mother played piano and sang all the time, and I sang as a kid with my mother and sister in our home church. My aunt Delois Stephens on my mom’s side played piano and sang in a group and my great-uncle Tiny Hickman played guitar and sang in a group. I had a lot of exposure to gospel music as a child. ![]() SGM- Was being a southern gospel artist something you aspired to do as a child?īS- Definitely not. Bob currently sings lead for the legendary Kingsmen quartet. Bob credits his parents, Robert and Helen, for the Christian influence they placed on his life and for keeping him involved in church and music. Prior to joining The Kingsmen, Bob managed and sang lead for eight years in The Capstone Quartet, a group he would eventually come to own. ![]() His mother, Helen, taught him and his sister, Stephanie, to sing parts from the time they were old enough to speak, and his childhood was filled with performances mostly at his home church from their family trio. Unlike many musical artists, Bob was a rather late bloomer. Bob Sellers was born in Tuscaloosa, AL on Februand is a lifelong resident of neighboring Pickens County. ![]()
