Bobby Jenkins

Post by Tommy Detamore »

Bobby Jenkins, legendary San Antonio musician, passed away yesterday. Bobby was a soulful singer and piano player, and just a sweet guy. He is the father of recording artist Jody Jenkins, and they had a band together for many years. The great Jerry Blanton played steel for Bobby and Jody for a long time. Please keep Jody and the family in your prayers.

R.I.P. Bobby. So proud to have known you. Love you brother.
