Till we meet again...RIP Bobby Rogers of the Miracles. The sweetest, the funniest and the kindest man it was our privilege to know. A man after God's own heart, and Dan's close buddy for all time.
All our love from Dan and Marie. (Leighton)

Rogers is the son of the late Robert & Lois Rogers. He was born on February 19, 1940 the same day and in the same Detroit hospital as fellow Miracles member Smokey Robinson, although the two would not meet until 15 years later.
On December 18, 1963 Rogers married Wanda Young, the lead singer of Motown group The Marvelettes. They had several children together and divorced in 1975 after twelve years of marriage. In 1981 Rogers married Joan Hughes on his birthday. The wedding ceremony was officiated by the late Cecil Franklin (older brother of Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin). Rogers and his wife Joan reared four children (Bobbae, Gina, Kimberly & Robert III) all are now adults. Rogers was residing between his primary residence in suburban Detroit, Michigan and a Beverly Hills, California piedaterre with wife Joan.
Rogers' cousin, Claudette Rogers, was also a member of the Miracles, and later married Smokey Robinson.
