notes

It's hard to believe that what started as a family jam session around a piano in Middletown, Ohio, has become a lifelong passion and pursuit. Mom liked the way our voices blended together. She couldn't wait to show us off at the New Era Baptist Church the following Sunday morning. We sang the old hymn, "At The Cross", and at that moment, a new era began in my life. I was four years old then, and I've been singing ever since. I lovingly acknowledge my family, Maude O. Winston, Joan and Robert Bailey, Ora K. DeMaria, Jodell, Tracey, Bradford, and Walter Bailey, and Dale Monroe Fisher, for all their love and support.

Music has taken me around the world, and has introduced me to countless friends and incredible experiences. I am grateful to the many teachers, encouragers, supporters, collaborators, and listeners who were sent by God into my life. Because of you, I am able to continue my journey. Allow me to recognize, among the many, these true friends and mentors. Helen Ruth Watkins, Royal A. Ivory, Rev. Wendell H. Wallace, Randy Hiller, Jim and Tammy Bakker, Thurlow Spurr, Michael A. McKinney, Cynthia Clawson, Welton and Maurina Esprit, Bob Krogstad, Vicki Hampton, and Wynonna Judd.


Because of the following people, this recording exists. My heartfelt thanks and gratitude go to the wonderful people of Denmark, my dear friends Georg and Anne Julin, Dan and Miriam Rasmussen, Tom McKuen, Voice Celebration, every composer, arranger, designer, musician, producer, and technical person who materially participated in this project. My God bless you richly for being such a blessing to me.


As you listen to "Past And Present", I pray that you will see with your mind's eye, where I've come from, and where I'm headed, musically. I'm a firm believer in the power of The Word. It has the power to change lives. I want my music and lyrics to reflect my heart, my personal experiences, my goals, my dreams, my desires, and aspirations.

Finally, thank you for listening. May the music encourage you, uplift, and inspire you, make you laugh, cry, and sing along, and make you dance! Go ahead, close your eyes and open your heart and listen.

    Bob: My wife and I played that cassette tape of rainy day christian and I'm walkin and the many other songs in the 80's. We went over seas and came back in the 90's, however we couldn't find a replacement for used up cassette or anything concerning you. I am going to surprise my wife and order this cd. God Bless You and glad to know that you are still giving God your best praise past and present.

  • Bob where are you? We were waiting for the next CD and you just dropped off the face of the earth. That music has been such a blessing since the eighties especially at my home church. I went to our local music store in Berkeley, Reids Records and begged for the Album with the song "Just praise the Lord, for he can work with those that praise him. David Reid said that the albums were no longer available. Wow, I have had a broken heart every since. Please resurface. We need to hear from you again. I just listened on Broadband to those songs, called my sister and laughed at how we tried to sing the song "Did you Know" at a youth meeting and literally tore the song up hahahahaha dont laugh. God bless you hope all is well. I am serious about getting your Gospel According to Bob Bailey CD ASAP.

  • Bob Bailey's Voice is Golden
    author: BG Neeley-Bahamas

    This CD captures some of the best performance of Bob Bailey; a display of pure vocal talent. It rivals the great performances of today. I really would like to hear Bob Bailey in concert again.

  • Wow!! This album got me through a difficult time in my life.
    author: Reverend Rob

    I have been looking for the songs on this album for years. These songs have a special healing anointing to them. I was hurting at a time and the songs helped me get through it. If you haven't heard, don't ask somebody, purchase the CD. It will be one of the greatest treasures that you own.

  • One of the best gospel artist there is or ever will be!
    author: Arwyn Palmer

    Bob Bailey has been one of my favorites since the mid 80s'. He is truly an inspiration to gospel music. Unfortunately, as a gospel announcer and one time program director I can say his music is not remembered by the masses and that's a shame.

  • Absence Made My Heart Grow Fonder
    author: J Francis

    I grew up with this music & I was so thrilled to receive many of those songs that I had been parted from for so many years!! It came at a critical time as I used -Ebenezer- as the accompanying song to highlight a very meaningful segment of our church's 30th anniversary. I've been revived & inspired. The messages of these songs are so genuine & are sung with such a unique passion that I would some day like to emulate. So I'll keenly look forward to accompanying tracks for songs like~ Stand, Ebenezer, Bring it to Jesus, & Light a Light-.These songs are so powerful & touching, that they repeatedly bring tears to my eyes & awaken my heart. What a blessing!

  • Bob Rules!
    author: James A. Butler

    I was very pleased with this CD! I was fortunate to receive a personal email from Bob Bailey himself, directing me to CD Baby in response to an inquiry from me about where I could find his music. I love every song on this double CD set. CD Baby got it to me within 2 days of placing the order! I will definitely use this site again!

  • Great Vocals and a good message!

    Bob Bailey does a great job on this cd. Keep up the good work!

  • author: Tara Bailey

    My 2 favorite songs of all time are "stand" and "heaven help us all." Between Leanna, Janora,Terelle, and I we used to sit around the dinner table at holiday time when we were young and sing those songs. Of course I was lead, and they were my backup singers!!!

  • Beautiful

    It was great to find Bob Bailey again. My parents had 2 of his records when I was a child. The man can just sing

  • This album is timeless
    author: Ms J

    What a breath of fresh air. I feel like the woman who found her lost coin. I've been searching relentlessly and now I'm so glad I've finally found it!!!To hear songs like Ebenezer, Rainy Day Christian and Stand brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my heart. Bob, this legacy of music is definately a healing stream. God bless you and your ministry.

  • WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN
    author: ken

    It is great getting a collection of songs and seeing the range and growth by the singer...What a pleasure to sit back and just listen to each and every song and to also listen to the message that each songs has...What a blessing it is...hopefully, this will not be the end but a new beginning of more songs from Mr Bob Bailey.

  • author: CD Baby

    There are a number of things that make an extraordinary album- but it's no secret that the vocals can make or break it. Bob Bailey's album is a prime example of an excellent album made outstanding by his clear, gutsy and resonant vocals- with the emotion and projection of Stevie Wonder. Constructed with that old school, rhythm and blues sound, reminiscent of the 70s and 80s, this dynamic gospel album goes way beyond the gospel standard and reaches into pop, soul and jazzy R&B to present a perfectly polished collection of exceptional r&b gospel.
