In 1991, Nathan formed Memphis Soul Review, a seven-piece band that recreates Texas rock and blues, complemented by a horn section. The band also features rhythm and blues music by artists of the 1960s and 1970s, including Sam & Dave, the Isley Brothers, Wilson Picket, Otis Redding, and Aretha Franklin.
Bobby Nathan began playing guitar in 1959. In the 1970s he toured the U.S. with the band Strawberry. In 1976 he formed the band Uptown and played at local disco clubs. In 1979 Nathan and his wife Joanne opened Unique Recording Studios in New York City where he works with many notable artists including Bruce Springsteen, Anita Baker, Joe Cocker, Diana Ross, LaToya Jackson, and James Brown. In fact, Nathan was the first to sample James Brown’s screams and Led Zeppelin’s drums. Nathan also hosted a NYC Blues Jam at the Cutting Room in Manhattan.
