Bobby Porter
July 24, 1951 – October 28, 2010

Bobby Porter was beloved punk singer who called the Pittsburgh area home.  A veteran of the Vietnam war, Porter first surfaced in the area as an R&B singer during the mid ’70s.  But by the end of the decade, he became taken by the city’s burgeoning punk scene and successfully transitioned into it.   Over the years he fronted such punk bands as Thin White Line and Young Lust, and built a solid following thanks to his strong soulful voice and his energetic performances.  Bobby Porter was 59 when he died of cancer on October 28, 2010.
