We are joined this week on the #SoulBackPodcast by Bob Robinson of the legendary R&B production duo Tim & Bob. Collectively they have produced some of the biggest R&B songs of our generation including “Into You” by Tamia, “They Don’t Know” by Jon B and “Missing You” by Case. Bob most recently produced “My Man” by Tamar Braxton by himself. In the interview, Bob goes down memory lanes to shares some stories about his projects with Dallas Austin, 112, Monica and Bobby V. If you’re a real R&B fan, you’re in for a real treat as Bob gives us a lot of stories that perhaps gives us better perspective to some classic R&B songs and albums!
