b. 7th November 1954, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.A.
When Robin Beck scored a UK No.1 hit with 'First Time' in 1988, the pop fraternity figured they had discovered a brand new blue eyed soul singer in the U.S.
In fact she had made a major impact on the 70's disco scene, in 1979, with her Ashford & Simpson sounding single 'Sweet Talk'.
The subsequent album was entitled 'Sweet Talk' and featured her version of the Todd Rundgren tune 'Hello It's Me', later covered by the Isley Brothers.
On background vocals and arrangements were Irene Cara and Luther Vandross (who also co-penned the track 'Shake It Through The Night') amongst others.
Robin also sang background vocals on recordings for Patti Austin.
Albums:
Sweet Talk (Mercury 1979)
Double Or Nothin (Mercury 1989)
