Famous Philadelphia Sound Producer (BOBBY MARTIN) at Geno's Steaks

The crowd went wild outside of Geno's Steaks! A large line of Philly neighbors and tourists gathered around Geno's Steaks in hopes to get an autographed picture of producer Bobby Martin! Somebody posted on Twitter and Facebook that Bobby Martin was back in town. Most food lovers in Philadelphia have tasted Geno's famous steak sandwiches (Cheesesteaks). Geno's is located on 1219 South 9th Street in Philadelphia. The owners of Geno's remember Bobby Martin from the 1970's. They recall seeing Bobby Martin win the Grammy Award for TSOP (T.S.O.P. The Sound of Philadelphia)! Bobby Martin worked at Philadelphia International Records with producers Gamble and Huff. Bobby Martin has been producing hit records out of Philadelphia since the late 1950s. Singers like Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, Michael Jackson and The O' Jays. From the Bee Gees to L.T.D. and Tavares, and the list of gold and platinum hits goes on and on. My favorite Bobby Martin song is Me And Mrs. Jones! Bobby Martin lives in Beverly Hills and has a fan base in Hollywood California, along with Justin Bieber and The Kardashians. Yet Bobby Martin says that he will always be Philadelphia Bobby Martin or Bobby Martin from Philadelphia, no matter where he lives. He says that this is memory lane, all good memories. Bobby Martin says that he really loves Philadelphia, and he loves his brothers Gamble & Huff.
