Bobby Roberts (film producer) Bobby Roberts (film producer) Robert M. "Bobby" Roberts (May 9, 1929 – October 10, 2004) was a musician, producer, record executive and Hollywood film producer. In 1964, Roberts co-founded Dunhill Productions, which became Dunhill Records the following year. Roberts also managed performers such as The Mamas and The Papas, Richard Pryor, Mort Sahl, Mama Cass Elliott, Paul Anka, Ann-Margret, Johnny Rivers and many others. Roberts formed Mums Records with Hal Landers and Don Altfeld in 1972. The label, which was distributed by Columbia Records, had several notable releases, including Albert Hammond's hit single "It Never Rains in Southern California", and
The Mamas & the Papas CD but was available on vinyl and cassette tape for many years. Some companies are offering a CDR ripped version of this engaging look into the history of the Mamas & the Papas, normally including the source material to preserve copyrights. The band finally received a box set when the four-CD "Complete Anthology" was released in the UK in September 2004 and in the US in January 2005. It contains the five studio albums, the live album from Monterey, selections from their solo work, and rarities including their first sessions with Barry McGuire, all in "uniformly excellent" sound.
