Bobby Bloom Album
I know this isn't EXACTLY the right place for this, but if anyone could find me a copy of the Bobby Bloom album or CD then I would pay good money for it. It's a personal matter for me and of utmost importance and significance. My e-mail is yagevines@hotmail.com. Fermentor 07:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Bobby must have been from England
How can you say he was an American songwriter when the first stanza in Montego Bay sings about a British airline (BOAC) and him driving a British car (MG) while learning to drive on the right side of the road in Montego Bay?

If he was from America, why would he need to adjust his driving for the right side of the road.

Here's the first stanza; "Vernon will meet me when the BOAC lands, Keys to the MG will be in his hand, Adjust to the driving and I'm on my way. It's all on the RIGHT side in Montego Bay"

Case and point!

 * Bobby was from New York, I was friends with him brother Mitchel.
 * The family moved from New York to California. 172.56.86.241 (talk) 04:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I checked with Jeff Barry, producer and co-composer of Montego Bay. Per Jeff, Bobby Bloom was born in the USA. He (Bobby) took BOAC Airlines from New York to Montego Bay. The STEERING WHEEL is on the RIGHT SIDE in Jamaica.

Count On Me
Bobby's great song "Count On Me" is missing from this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.147.230.227 (talk) 05:00, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Most sources (such as Allmusic) don't give details, but I've found at least one source that says that he was born in New York City and died in Hollywood. Ghmyrtle (talk) 10:53, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Ethnic background
I read that he came from a Jewish family but can't find the source now. Thanks Karl Twist (talk) 10:42, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
