Bobby Bennett’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Bobby Bennett was born in the Year of the Tiger. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Tiger are authoritative, self-possessed, have strong leadership qualities, are charming, ambitious, courageous, warm-hearted, highly seductive, moody, intense, and they’re ready to pounce at any time. Compatible with Horse or Dog.
Remembered best for his work with the 1960s R&B vocal ensemble The Famous Flames, this soul singer collaborated with future music superstar James Brown on such Flames hits as 'Please, Please, Please' and 'Bewildered.' He and his Famous Flames bandmates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012.
During his high school years, he was a member of a touring gospel music group called The Harmonizing Five. He later attended the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University on an athletic scholarship.
His group's 1963 Live at the Apollo recording rose to the top of Billboard's pop music chart and was the first R&B album to sell more than a million copies.

Bennett was portrayed by actor Aakomon Jones in the 2014 James Brown biopic Get On Up.
