Biography

Robert Wilson Royer (born December 6, 1942, in Los Angeles) is an American musician and songwriter, best known as a founding member of the soft rock band Bread from 1968 to 1971. While he was with the band, they had a UK #5/US #1 hit single with "Make It with You". He was replaced by Larry Knechtel in 1971. In 1970, Royer and Jimmy Griffin, under the pseudonyms Robb Wilson and Arthur James, wrote the lyrics for "For All We Know", featured in the film Lovers and Other Strangers. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and was a top ten hit for the Carpenters in March and April 1971. Before co-founding Bread, Royer had been a member of the band the Pleasure Fair, whose only album in 1967 was produced and arranged by David Gates, Royer's future bandmate in Bread. His songwriting credits include works for Jimmy Griffin, Ray Charles, the Remingtons, Mary Chapin Carpenter, John Michael Montgomery, Randy Travis, Billy Burnette, the Finnigan Brothers (Mike Finnigan) and others.
