Bobby Kimball's Birth Card: The 7 of Clubs
The Analytical Creator
A birth card is a calendar coordinate for the month and day. It is not fortune-telling and does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year.

Bobby Kimball is on the 1983 Album of the Year list for Toto IV, billed as Toto at ceremony 25 (https://www.grammy.com/awards/categories/album-of-the-year/1983/). Bobby Kimball (Q435650, Wikipedia “Bobby Kimball”) appears here as billed with Toto. The billed act string on those wins is Toto. Albums in this pack for Bobby Kimball: 1983 Toto IV. Birth date 1947-03-29 is the Wikipedia infobox day for Bobby Kimball, verified against Wikidata P569 1947-03-29 (match). This page does not invent a childhood or a private address for Bobby Kimball. It only names the calendar coordinate for March 29 and the Album of the Year albums already listed for Bobby Kimball.
The 7 of Clubs coordinate
Bobby Kimball was born March 29, 1947 (1947-03-29). Month 3 and day 29 give solar value 20, which is the 7 of Clubs (The Analytical Creator). Card Blueprints treats that as a 365-day coordinate: solar value = 55 − (2 × month + day). The year 1947 is unused, so Bobby Kimball's 1947 birth year does not move the card. The 7 of Clubs does not predict a Grammy Album of the Year and is not a verdict on Bobby Kimball. Quoted system copy for the 7 of Clubs, not a biography of Bobby Kimball: You take a claim apart until the usable piece is left, then you use it. Your mind is sharp, questioning, skeptical. You see through illusions and can identify patterns others miss. You're the critical thinker.

Bobby Kimball in the public record
He has also performed as a solo artist and session singer. Kimball was raised in Vinton, Louisiana, but born in nearby Orange, Texas, as Vinton did not have a hospital. He started singing as a child, dabbling on vocals and playing piano and acoustic guitar in a musical household throughout his youth, mostly covering and performing 1950s and 1960s R&B hits, 1800s traditional old-time music, and rare local swamp pop and Cajun folk songs typical of Louisiana. His parents were extremely supportive of his musical talents, devoting themselves to his desire to become a full-time professional musician as an adult. He is of English, German, Irish, and Cajun French ancestry. He graduated from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in 1969. Throughout the 1970s, Kimball performed as the vocalist in various New Orleans-area bands, including the Levee Band, which became Louisiana's LeRoux after Kimball left. In 1974, Kimball moved from Louisiana to Los Angeles, California, to pursue a full-time music career.
