Bob Hite was an American blues rock vocalist best known as co-lead singer of Canned Heat, the influential blues-rock band he helped establish in 1965. With his distinctive vocal presence and energetic stage performances, Hite became a central figure in the band's sound throughout the late 1960s and 1970s, contributing to their status as pioneers of the blues-rock fusion movement.
