Bob Manning (June 1947) is a vocalist now living in Minnesota, United States.
Bob began singing Gospel as a child in Virginia, U.S., and followed a stage career to New York City where he worked with among others: Gladys Knight, James Brown, Bo Diddley, Dick Clark, The Coasters and later The Four Tops.
Living in Sweden from 1983 to 1998, Bob had a number of bands and worked with top-notch Swedish artists such as Ann-Christine Hedmark, Roger Pontare and Coste Apetrea; and was responsible for the first single recording of "Soul Sister" with Zemya Hamilton (Sonet Recording Studio).
From 1991 to 1998, he worked mainly with The Soul Enterprise, and toured throughout Scandinavia, appearing at venues such as Fasching, Stampen, the Stockholm Jazz & Blues Festival, the Stockholm Water Festival, etc, and opened for or shared the stage with Soul giants such as Isaac Hayes, Al Green and Wilson Pickett.
Makes him one year younger than me...

Hi, I have some info someone ask about BOB MANNING, the crooner (THE NEARNESS OF YOU-1953)and many many other great songs. His brother's name was Sammy and sister's name was Ruthy, Bob was no kin the Dick Haymes, however Bob did listen to Dick H. while growing up, and yes it was uncanny that they kind of had the same sound. God gave Bob his voice as is, and had such a style and quality all his own. He passed away in a LA hospital after a stroke in Oct 1997. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to e-mail me and I will do my best to answer to the best of my ability. I am his only child, and also one of his biggest fans. I pray Dad's God given voice will be appreciated for many, many more years. Thanks for allowing my post, GOD BLESS, BEVERLY MANNING OWENS
