A flexible pianist and keyboardist, Bobby Lyle has long straddled the boundaries between straightahead and more commercial forms of jazz. He grew up in Minneapolis and at age six took piano lessons from his mother who was a church organist. Lyle played clarinet for a period in junior high school before switching back to piano. He considers Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Bill Evans, Erroll Garner and Art Tatum to have been his early influences. Lyles first gig was when he was 16 and, after two years of college, in 1964 he became a fulltime musician. He spent six years playing locally in Minneapolis and then toured for two years with Young-Holt Unlimited. After returning to Minneapolis for local work (recording a set in 1974 that was released just in Japan), in 1976 Lyle moved to Los Angeles where he quickly got a job with Sly and the Family Stone. After playing with Ronnie Laws, he recorded two solo albums for Capitol. Lyle made guest appearances on recordings by George Benson, Phyllis Hyman and Esteher Phillips and in the early 1980s toured with Benson and became Bette Midlers musical director. After two years with Al Jarreau, Lyle recorded a straightahead combo date for King (which was reissued as an Evidence CD), conducted for Anita Baker in 1986 and worked with Gerald Albright. That year he began a long association with Atlantic with his 1991 album of piano solos Pianomagic being one of the highlights of his career. In the late 1990s, Bobby Lyle remains a highly versatile and valuable keyboardist, both as a leader (frequently appearing in the Los Angeles area) and as a sideman.
在美国有很多音乐家都是全才，要么可以非常熟练的掌握两种以上的乐器，要么就是演奏，混音以及制作都可以一人独立完成。用超级全才形容黑人钢琴家一点都不为过，他的钢琴技艺先放在一边稍候再说，他还是一个非常出色的制作人、编曲人、音乐发行人、乐团领袖、音乐艺术指导等等。再说他的钢琴，曾经在他的音乐生涯中一直是以演奏传统爵士为主，Oscar Peterson、Bill Evans以及风琴演奏家Jimmy Smith都很大程度的影响了他。随后他又开始跟随象George Benson这样的商业流行爵士的开拓先锋，而开始了自己的现代爵士之旅。 六岁时跟他在教堂里弹奏风琴的母亲学习钢琴，中学时学习过一段时间的单簧管，后又回到钢琴上。据他自己而言，早期受到过Oscar Peterson、Ahmad Jamal、Bill Evans、Erroll Garner等人的影响。1964年起，把音乐作为他的职业，在George Benson、Phyllis Hyman和Esteher Phillips 等人的录音中，他也曾经被邀请参加演出。在八十年代初，和George Benson一起巡回演出，并成为了Bette Midler的音乐指导，也曾经担任过Anita Baker的监制。
