Sir, it is a pleasure to see young people find Bill and Bobby. As you may have discovered, Bobby died some years ago. Bill is still performing and has the same energy he had in 1965. I played their music as a Rock Jock, starting with "You've Lost", Unchained", and "Soul and...". Soul, as you know, has no color, however, if it did, these guys would be black like the ace of spades. FYI, I am very white, 77 years old, and still rockin', but now in a chair. Rock on!
