His first solo single, "Blues Get Off My Shoulder", was recorded in 1958, while he was still working primarily with Williams' band. The B-side, "You Got What It Takes", also written by Parker, was later recorded for Motown by Marv Johnson, but with the songwriting credited to Berry Gordy, Gwen Fuqua and Roquel Davis. Parker told the Forgotten Hits newsletter in 2008:
Bobby Parker (born 27 March 1891) was a Scottish professional footballer.
Born in Glasgow, Taylor started off his career at Rangers before moving to play for Everton in 1913 for a fee of £1,500. He finished top goalscorer for Everton in the 1913/14 and 1914/15 seasons, the latter of which he was top scorer overall in the First Division. The First World War robbed him from cementing a place amongst Everton's greats as he returned home with a bullet lodged in his back. The injury made him a shadow of his former self and he was later sold to Nottingham Forest.
Bobby Parker started his career with home town club Coventry City. This was in the era at the club of Neil Martin. All of Parker's league appearances with Coventry were in England's top flight.
He then left to join Carlisle United with whom he played for in their only season in England's top division along with Chris Balderstone, displacing Balderstone from central defence back into midfield.
