Bob Gaddy (February 4, 1924 – July 24, 1997) was an American East Coast blues and rhythm-and-blues pianist, singer and songwriter. He is best remembered for his recordings of "Operator" and "Rip and Run," and musical work he undertook with Larry Dale, Wild Jimmy Spruill, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. Gaddy was born in Vivian, West Virginia, a small town based on coal mining. He learned to play the piano at an early age, playing and singing in his local church.

Bob Gaddy played his piano around the New York clubs for many decades. Bob Gaddy was born in 1924 in Vivian, Virginia, a small coal-mining town. Bob’s father was a miner who sang in a vocal quartet at the weekend, and Bob followed his lead, also singing in Church. In the late 30s, Blind Boy Fuller was a big Blues star, and Bob became a fan, and also started learning piano. In 1986, all his Old Town material, including some great un-released tracks, was issued on the album ‘Rip & Run’, the title track being another ‘Champion Jack’ number. Two years later, Bob, Larry Dale and Jimmy Spruill played a re-union gig that was probably Bob’s last major engagement before he passed away in 1997.
