Bob James is an American keyboardist, singer, songwriter, producer and music arranger. Born on December 25, 1939 in Marshall, Missouri, he has made significant contributions to the world of music. With a career spanning several decades, Bob James has established himself as a versatile artist with his unique blend of jazz, funk and fusion.

Known for his exceptional talent on the keyboard and his smooth vocals, Bob James has collaborated with numerous renowned artists such as *Joe Sample*, *David Benoit*, *David Sanborn* and many more. His distinctive style can be heard in hits like "Angela" and "Westchester Lady," which have become timeless classics.

As a father of singer/songwriter [a808145], Bob James' musical influence extends beyond his own achievements. His innovative compositions and arrangements continue to inspire aspiring musicians around the world. With a discography that includes over 30 albums, Bob James remains an influential figure in contemporary jazz and continues to captivate audiences with his soulful melodies.

In the eyes of the rap generation, an older musician's hipness is often defined by how many times he or she has been sampled for beats and breaks. That means that keyboard wizard Bob James - whose records have been sampled a staggering 1435 times, according to the website whosampled.com - is a bona-fide legend and cooler than cool. Although he's just celebrated another birthday, Bob James is not about to close the piano lid for the last time and embrace retirement. Alongside the same trio (bassist Michael Palazzolo and drummer Billy Kilson) that made 2018's critically-acclaimed Espresso album, Feel Like Making Live! captures James performing a career-spanning selection of material live in the studio.

Feel Like Making Live! includes James's most well known hits like 'Angela', 'Maputo', 'Westchester Lady' and 'Nautilus' - as well as an instrumental cover of Elton John's 'Rocket Man'.
