Stanley Mitchell recently described Robert West as a
quiet guy, "someone you would
expect knew nothing about the business."
However forty five years after his first
recordings, Robert is recognised as one of the pioneers of
the Detroit Sound.
Born Robert L. West in Montgomery, Alabama on 1st March 1912
he moved to the Motor City in 1935 in search of a
better life.
Join us as we examine his legacy and marvel at the
artists he worked with who would later become household
names.
