Travis and Bob were an American rock and roll duo from Jackson, Alabama, United States.[1] Its members were Travis Wilbon Pritchett (March 18, 1939, Jackson – October 18, 2010, Mobile) and Bob Weaver (born July 27, 1939, Jackson).[2]
In 1959, they released a single on the independent label Sandy Records called "Tell Him No,"[1] which was written by Pritchett.[3] Dot Records picked up the single for nationwide distribution, and it became a hit, reaching No. 21 on the Billboard R&B charts and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] Despite recording additional singles for Big Top Records and Mercury Records, the duo never had another hit single.[1]
In June 1960, the duo filed a lawsuit against Sandy's founders, Johnny Bozeman and Paul DuBose, claiming they did not receive royalties from airplay and sales of their recordings.[5]
Pritchett died on October 18, 2010, at a Mobile hospital, at age 71.
