Leonard “Doc” Gibbs’ career began in the early 1970s when he was quickly discovered by top artists in the music industry. He earned the nickname “Doc” from the late Grover Washington, Jr. during the recording of Washington’s “Live at the Bijou” record, when Gibbs suggested an herbal medicine to remedy a nasty cold Grover Washington, Jr. was suffering from the night before taping began.
Gibbs is the musical director for the Food Network’s popular Emeril Live! Show, and he is member of the National Association of Recording Artists and Sciences Philadelphia chapter Board of Governors.
