Hey Bobby.. Once when I was hanging around 50th St and Broadway, I was talking to a keyboardist, whose name was something along the lines of Eddie Simmons, or Sims perhaps...anyways, I mentioned your name, and he said he knew you quite well.. Wondering if you know who I'm talking about? Thanks, MichaelOH |

Could it be Sid Simmons who once played with Grover and with Locksmith, Grover's band? Was he a "tallish" light brown skinned brother? |

Bobby, He was "tallish", and light skinned...but I've done some research about Sid Simmons, and it doesn't appear to be him. This guy was homeless, and also said he knew Babbitt quite well, and that Babbitt would kick his ass if he knew where he was now. He did talk about playing with Rick James at one time... Who knows? But he certainly brightened up when I mentioned you. |

Another question for Mr. Eli: What do you think of the intro to I'll Be Around being used for a commerical? I'm assuming you were the guitarist on that session (correct me if I'm wrong) and it must be strange, but at the same time kind cool to have that riff just ramdomly pop out of your TV set. |

The guitars were Norman Harris and myself. Thom Bell also played the clav on the song for extra emphasis. Its great to know that our songs are still being used for commercials and I especially love the residuals. |

I was hoping that was part of the deal. Hooray for ASCAP & BMI |

Bobby, as a musician, how are residuals accounted for? Who lets you know that say, a commercial here or in France, is using a track you played on and that there is something in the piggybank for you? |

The American Federation of Musicians in conjunction with the ad agency who represent the product being hyped in the ad,and the performing right society who repreent the writers and publishers of the songs,are responsible for payment to the musicians involved in the sessions |

When Hammer released "Can't Touch This" using Rick James's track to "Super Freak", Rick didn't know about it until he heard it on the radio. He said he was pissed about it until he found out how much money it was making. Rick wrote the song, but he doesn't own the publishing, which is probably why he didn't know it had been released. Jobete or Stone Agate, either of those publishing houses, more than likely didn't inform him. |

Thats right Mike. If Rick owned the pub rights, imagine all the money he would have made not to mention the admin rights! |
