Bobby had suffered for the last 6 years and 2 months with fluoroquinolone toxicity according to Mary. Where in January 2017 he was given an antibiotic for several days which caused a bilateral Achilles tendon ruptures and developed peripheral neuropathy. Despite these injuries, Bobby continued to perform but his condition continued to worsen and his mobility became very limited which caused him to cancel his tours.

Over the years his fans sent him get well cards, and notes of praying for you, which he read all them.

His career took off with his debut album in 1978 which was a Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 with the classic hit "What You Won't Do For Love." The song was left off the album, but the head of TK Records Henry Stone sent Bobby back into the studio to put it on the album which ironically became his signature song. The hit single has been covered and sampled by everyone from Boyz II Men, Michael Bolton Natalie Cole, Peabo Bryson, Phyllis Hyman to Tupac Shakur.
