In the early 1970s, Bobbi Silver began her career path on the record label Radio road.  Bobbi was hired as a promotions assistant at Jamie/Guyden Records from a chance dinner meeting among friends.  Bobbi’s first major label gig was with Chrysalis Records. 

She was in the early day trenches of RSO Records working projects (like Saturday Night Fever, Grease, The Bee Gees, Andy Gibb, and Eric Clapton) and Casablanca Records with projects like Donna Summer, The Village People, and KISS.
 
During the 80s, Bobbi, was working the best up and comers on the RCA, Polygram, and Polydor record labels.  The 90s arrived with a completely different music scene, and Bobbi was brought on to the Geffen Record label working Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana, Cher, Whitesnake, and Aerosmith. 

Geffen merged with Interscope and A&M to become one label,,,and THE one constant was Bobbi Silver who stayed on with them until her decided retirement after 42 years in the Record & Radio industry.  Listen as Bobbi tells us many of her favorite recollections from the Records and Radio road.
