Walter "Bunny" Sigler (born March 27, 1941 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is a pop and R&B singer, songwriter and record producer who has done extensive work with the team of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, and who was instrumental in creating the "Philly Sound" in the early 1970s. He is nicknamed "Mr. Emotion."

Sigler has worked with most of the artists associated with the Philadelphia stable including The O'Jays, The Roots, Jackie Moore, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Barbara Mason, Billy Paul, Lou Rawls, Patti LaBelle and Stephanie Mills. He also co-wrote "The Ruler's Back", the opening song on the album The Blueprint by Jay-Z.

Originally a performer, Sigler first recorded for the V-Tone Records label in 1959. He has also recorded for the Decca, Parkway, Gamble, Philadelphia International and Gold Mind labels. Gold Mind, headed by Philly guitarist/writer/producer/arranger Norman Harris was a subsidiary of Salsoul Records. In 1967, he had a hit record on Parkway: a cover of "Let the Good Times Roll/Feel So Good," which peaked at #22 in August.

In 1973 a remake of Bobby Lewis' "Tossin' And Turnin", gave Sigler his first chart hit (number 38 R&B) since "Let The Good Times Roll."

In 1974, PIR issued two albums by Sigler, 'That's How Long I'll Be Loving You' and 'Keep Smilin''. Though most tracks on Sigler's PIR albums have backing tracks by MFSB, a significant number (including the whole 'My Music' album) feature the Instant Funk rhythm section. The section were also heard on hits by the O'Jays, Archie Bell the Drells, Evelyn "Champagne" King and Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes.

With the Philly soul sound so hot, Sigler got a chance to work with a number of acts as a writer and/or producer, including the Whispers, Ecstacy, Passion And Pain and Carl Carlton. He cut tracks for artists on Curtis Mayfield's Curtom label, including Mayfield himself ("Trippin' Out"), and made a duet album with Barbara Mason. In 1976, Sigler got Instant Funk an album deal with Gamble Huff's TSOP label. A year later Bunny recorded an album for Curtom, "Locked In This Position".

In 1978, Sigler, bringing along Instant Funk, switched to Goldmind, a label started by MFSB guitarist Norman Harris and distributed by Salsoul Records. With his first release for the label, Sigler scored a Top Ten R&B single with "Let Me Party With You (Party, Party, Party)". The album of the same name was a smash in disco clubs. When Goldmind folded, all of its acts were transferred to Salsoul. About a year after its release and thanks to a Larry Levan remix, "I Got My Mind Made Up (You Can Get It Girl)", went on to be Instant Funk's breakthrough hit (number one R&B). Both that single and the 'Instant Funk' album went gold. Just like at PIR, Sigler and Instant Funk worked with the acts on Salsoul - Loleatta Holloway, Double Exposure and First Choice as well as acts on other labels.

In the early '80s, after the release of Bunny's 'Let It Snow' album, Salsoul ceased operations. Sigler continued to write and produce, hitting with "Somebody Loves You Baby" (co-written with Eugene "Lambchops" Curry), a million seller for Patti Labelle, and taking Shirley Jones, formerly of Philadelphia International sister act the Jones Girls, to number one R&B with "Do You Get Enough Love" in August of 1986. That same year he recorded 'What Would You Do Without Love?' b/w 'Juvenile' on the Star Island label.

In 1991, he re-surfaced on an independent label, recording under the unusual name of 'Lambchops' for the ballad, 'Count On Me' b/w 'Lam Slam'n' for the Quan-Yaa QY imprint.

In 2003, the album 'Let Me Love You Tonight' was released on the Grapevine imprint.

2008 saw the release of a Gospel album entitled 'The Lords Prayer', for the 101 Distribution imprint.

In 2012, two albums were released for Bunny's own Bunzmusic imprint, namely 'With Love and a Little Soul' and 'When You're In Love At Christmas Time'.

As a writer, he penned 'The Ruler's Back', the opening track on the album The Blueprint by Jay-Z.

In 2015, Bunny released the album 'Bundino' on Bunz Music & Records.
