Following up a post from a couple weeks ago, about a July 26 book signing and Marietta Square concert with The Tams, and a book that includes the 1960s singing group, here’s a report from co-author Andy Lee White, an East Cobb resident, after the event:
Robert Lee Smith (circled in red) appeared at a Tams concert on the Marietta Square July 26.
The book signing for east Cobb author Andy Lee White’s, Atlanta Pop in the ‘50s, ‘60s & ‘70s: The Magic of Bill Lowery, held at The Local Exchange on the Marietta Square before The Tams concert in Glover Park, saw a very special guest make an appearance.
Robert Lee Smith, the last living original member of The Tams, stopped by for a visit with authors Andy Lee White and John M. Williams.
Robert and the other original members of The Tams are featured in a photograph on the cover of the new book and in a chapter dedicated to The Tams.
Robert even performed a couple of songs with the current Tams lineup (the first time together in 25 years) at theconcert.
Estimates put the Friday night concert crowd on the Marietta Square at almost 10,000 people.
The book was published April 1 is available through The History Press.
