Born in Philadelphia into the family of Henry and Susie May Sigler, as a child, little Walter Sigler would walk around singing and making up lyrics and choruses to songs. Walter Sigler became Bunny Sigler when as an infant his mother discovered that he had a fully grown front tooth. She commented that he looked just like a bunny rabbit and the nom de plume stuck.His formative years were spent singing songs like “ O Lord My God” and “ The Lord’s Prayer” at Helping Hand Rescue Mission and at various churches.In his teens, he sang at the Roman Emanuel Baptist Church and joined various doo wop groups like The Opals.Despite all of this involvement, Sigler’s real aspiration was to be a professional basketball player.

But that ambition was squelched when he injured his leg.Seeing that he he’d have to look at singing in a different light, Sigler threw himself into music with a passion, recording for various local labels and singing and playing guitar and piano in area nightclubs.One summer after performing at Atlantic City’s Ambassador Hotel, Sigler began singing and noodling around the piano, searching for ideas. Sigler was brought to the attention of independent producers John Medara and Dave White (Len Barry’s “123”) by Leon Huff who suggested they check out Sigler’s performance at the Red Hill Inn. Impressed, they signed him to a deal that lead to the release of Sigler’s first album, Let the Good Times Roll & Feels So Good on Cameo Parkway.The first single, “ Girl Don’t Make Me Wait,” received both R&B and pop airplay.

The title track (originally a hit for Shirley & Lee) was the second single and was making a respectable showing on the R&B/pop charts (number 20 R&B and number 22 pop) when Cameo Parkway suddenly folded.While waiting for his Cameo Parkway contract to lapse, Sigler began hanging around the hallways of Gamble & Huff Productions, singing, strumming guitar, and practicing his newly acquired martial arts skills with wall punches and kicks. The latter proved unsettling to visiting clients leading Kenny Gamble to suggest that Sigler go into a room with Ugene Dozier and try to write some songs. Up to that point, Sigler hadn’t even though about becoming a songwriter. Quite an auspicious start for a man who has hundreds of published songs.Around 1970, Gamble & Huff Productions became Philadelphia International Records. When Ugene Dozier left the label, Sigler inherited his office.
