James Lee Purify y Robert Lee Dickey, conocidos como James & Bobby Purify, son un dúo de cantantes de R&B de Pensacola, Florida. Se formaron en 1965 con Dickey adoptando el nombre artístico de "Bobby Purify". El dúo firmó con Bell Records en 1966 y alcanzó un éxito inmediato con "I'm Your Puppet", escrita por Spooner Oldham y Dan Penn. Producida en los estudios FAME, la canción alcanzó el número 6 de la lista Billboard Hot 100 de EE.UU. y se calcula que vendió un millón de copias. En 1967, su siguiente éxito, "Let Love Come Between Us", alcanzó el número 23 de la misma lista. El dúo siguió grabando y haciendo giras hasta que Dickey se retiró de la música en 1971 por motivos de salud. James Purify trabajó entonces como cantante en solitario hasta 1974, cuando se asoció con Ben Moore, que adoptó el nombre artístico de "Bobby Purify". Juntos volvieron a grabar "I'm Your Puppet", que alcanzó el número 12 en la lista de singles del Reino Unido en 1976. ¡James & Bobby Purify publicaron su álbum debut James & Bobby Purify en 1967 y una recopilación titulada Shake A Tail Feather! The Best Of James And Bobby Purify en 2002, que incluía canciones notables como "Morning Glory". Ben Moore publicó su álbum en solitario Purified en 1979 y fue nominado a un premio Grammy en 1983. James Purify murió por complicaciones de COVID-19 el 22 de enero de 2021, mientras que Ben Moore falleció el 12 de mayo de 2022.
