Biography
He was born Robert Lee Hall, the fourth child of Willie and Ruby Hall, on October 7, 1965 in Clarksdale,
Mississippi. Five years later, because of social and economic pressures, Robert?s mother moved the family
to Robbins, a suburb of Chicago. At an early age Robert attended a Baptist church where he developed
his interest in singing and performing. At age ten, he began to lose his sight from retina detachment.
Through his elementary and high school years Robert immersed himself in the world of music, singing
in the church choir and studying piano. He spent several years attending Northern Illinois University,
continuing his training in classical piano and voice. In the years that followed, Robert expanded his skills
on his own, moving into the areas of composition and musical arranging. He performed as both a celebrity
impersonator, and as his own solo act, in well known venues such as the Cotton Club, the New Regal
Theater, the Horseshoe Casino and Chicago?s Park West.
In the late 80s he spent much of his time at Universal Recording Studios with artists like blues singer Tyrone
Davis and the R & B group The Manhattans, learning from the pros in the industry. Between 1990-
1997, Robert primarily focused on his writing, producing and developing his digital programming skills while
attending Columbia College. A diverse composition style emerged, rooted in the rhythm and blues
tradition, and influenced by gospel, jazz and classical forms. While he is proficient at the keyboard, it is
Robert ?s work as a singer/songwriter that gets him notice. He recently opened for Chicago?s First Apollo competition at the Kinetic Playground, on Chicago?s Northside. His new CD, Robert Lee a
collection of original songs, is due for release thisSummer , and will be sold over the Internet and at live shows.

"Just My Way Of Livin"
By
Robert L. Hall
Verse 1
Music is a special interest of minds,
Oh it helps me, oh it helps me to unwind,
See it's the way it makes me feel,
and it's just my way of livin.
Verse 2
Without music I couldn't make it through the days, nall nall,
See when the music starts to flow,
I have to get up on that floor,
I just lose my self, my self control,
See it's the way it makes me feel,
And it's just my way of livin.
(BRIDGE)
Verse 3
(repeat of verse 1)
Verse 4
(repeat of verse 2)
Verse 5
Listen to the music?
Now start groovin to the beat,
Listen to the music,
And get up on your feet,
Now just start dancin, dancin, dancin, dancin to the beat
Verse 6
Sometimes I get so tired of livin the same old way,
But with music, a major change.
Sometimes I get so tired of singin? the same old way,
But with music, well now it ain't the same.
Vamp)
?Cause it's just, oh's just,
It's just, oh's just,
It's just, oh's just my way of livin,
Do you wonnah dance to the beat of the band?
I've gotta dance, To the beat of the band.
Do you wonna sing, while you do your thing,
I?ve gotta sing, while I do my thing.
