I first heard him play on "Dusty In Memphis". Sad.

WOW what a scare. When I first glanced at this I read it as Buddy not Bobby. Probably not the only one to do so.
Sorry for his family he was far to young.

Bobby Emmons played on everything. Here's some footage of Bobby Emmons playing with Dan Penn on Letterman:

Thanks for posting 'Dark End of the Street,' a fine song by its writer.

Was he related to Buddy?

I don't think they are related, but it's peculiar that they have the same middle name so it's Buddie Gene and Bobby Gene. What are the chances?
