Robert Ward

Robert Ward (October 15, 1938 – December 25, 2008) from Luthersville, GA moved to Dayton, OH  and was known for founding the Ohio Untouchables, the band that later would become the Ohio Players. The group released series of singles including "Your Love Is Amazing" which would become one of Ward's signature songs. Ward left the group in 1965. Ward left the music scene but is said to have been a session guitarist for Motown in the 1970s. He re-emerged in 1990 with the Black Top label for his first ever LP, "Fear No Evil" in 1991. He released two more albums in the next four years for the label. After the label folded Delmark Records recorded him and released "New Role Soul" in 2000. In his last years he faced a series of health problems, including two strokes, which prevented him from performing or recording. He died at his home in Dry Branch, Georgia, Christmas Day 2008.
