Nacido en Abbeville, Luisiana, el 21 de febrero de 1938, Robert Charles Guidry, alias Bobby Charles, siguió la evolución musical de su región natal, del rock'n'roll al R&B. Creció escuchando música cajún, antes de descubrir el rock'n'roll y el rhythm'n'blues. Se unió a The Cardinals y compuso el clásico "See You Later, Alligator", que llamó la atención de Leonard Chess (fundador de Chess Records). El sencillo, publicado en 1955, se convirtió en un éxito mundial gracias a la versión de Bill Haley & the Comets. Charles produjo otras canciones para Imperial, entre ellas "Walking to New Orleans", interpretada por Fats Domino, y "(I Don't Know Why I Love You) But I Do", versionada por Clarence "Frogman" Henry. En 1972, volvió al sello Bearsville Records con un primer álbum en solitario del mismo nombre, producido por Rick Danko y con colaboraciones de los músicos de The Band, además de Dr. John, David Sanborn y Amos Garrett. Tras tomarse un descanso de varios años, el cantautor grabó seis álbumes más, que culminaron con Timeless (2010). El 14 de enero de 2010, Bobby Charles falleció en su casa a la edad de 71 años. Sus canciones han sido versionadas por muchos artistas y figuran en varias recopilaciones, como Walking to New Orleans: The Jewel and Paula Recordings 1964-1965 (2000), An Introduction to Bobby Charles (2006), Better Days (2011), What a Party: The Complete Recordings 1955-56 (2023) y Bearsville Studio Sessions (2025).
