Bobby "Ziggy" Andriani was a singer/songwriter from Greenwich Village, NYC in the 1960s.
In the words of Hall of Fame songwriter Doc Pomus,
"Ziggy has more talent than most of what you hear on the radio".
This page is a tribute to Ziggy and his wonderful music. A few notes on the songs and bands:
- "The Pied Piper" was produced by the legendary Bert Burns
- All Johnny Gil and Bobby songs were produced by Alan Douglas.
- Johnny, Gil and Bobby appeared on the Clay Cole Show
(The Dick Clark type program on WPIX 11 in NYC)
- Johnny Gil and Bobby appeared in the Bob Dylan Documentary on A&E.
Early in Bobby's career, he was first tenor back up singer in The Youngtones, Johnny Gil and Bobby, Hans, Chris & Anderson, and Marci and The Mates. The latter three groups had all the same singers that included Johnny Marsi and Gilbert Rivera. He also sang back up on early R and B records for a then unknown producer named Phil Spector, and another singer, who thought Bobby had the "voice of an angel" , was a then unknown Dionne Warwick.
The trio caught the attention of Roy Silver, part club owner of the Bitter End and Manager of now classic entertainers that included Bob Dylan, Joan Rivers, Bill Cosby and Tiny Tim.
Roy pulled Bobby out of the group to develop him as a solo artist, and teamed him up with Doc Pomus, who put Bobby to be a staff Songwriter for Hill and Range Publishing in the Brill Building, Freddie Bienstock, principal at Hill and Range, said Bobby's talent potential was "enormous".
Doc Pomus insisted to the owner of Atlantic Records,
Ahmet Urtigan, that he sign Bobby to a record contract.
By Bobby's mid 20s, it was sadly discovered that Bobby had Schizophrenia and he spent the better part of his life homeless in Greenwich Village,
with short stays with friends and family who loved him.
Dennis Genovese, Bobby's dear friend,
made a documentary called "Ziggy On The Run".
