Unfortunately, Rockie Robbins never got the break he definitely deserved. In my opinion, he didn’t get enough good material to showcase his talent.
Edward W. Robbins, known as Rockie Robbins, was born in Minneapolis and, sadly enough, was one of the many highly talented but hapless singers who, despite working with great producers, never made it past a great start.
His “After Loving You” and “For The Sake Of A Memory” were true killer songs. Beautiful ballads with soul galore and singing of the finest. Everything that is right and good in music is on display in these songs.
Today’s picks are two of his songs that definitely were excellent, but didn’t quite offer the exuberance found in the the above mentioned titles.
"You And Me" is the title song of his 1980 album, "When I Think Of You" was released in 1979.
