"Showboat" was born in Lake Village, Arkansas to the late Robert Fulford and Bessie Mae Porter. He accepted Christ at a very young age and was a member of First Baptist Church in Dermott, Arkansas under the leadership of Rev. Lawrence Glover.
Robert graduated from Central High School in Lake Village, Arkansas in 1969. After graduation, he became a musician and opened his own business, Robert Fulford's Exterior and Interior Painting.
