ROBIN LEE SINCLAIR

Sydney born singer/songwriter Robin Sinclair first appeared on the Australian music scene in 1970 when he recorded a single ''Hello Baby / Who Am I'' on the ATA label followed by the self-penned ''Before The Morning'' on the Chart label in 1972. Robin went on to form his own band, attaining a residency at the Musicians Club in Sydney, and drawing record crowds for a period of 18 months. 1975 saw Robin touring Australia and cruising the South Sea Islands before joining the highly successful Sydney band Squeeze in the early part of 1976. The release of several singles and the band's debut album 'The Squeeze is On!' were well received and achieved impressive sales, particularly in Germany and the Scandinavian countries. 

As a result of numerous national television appearances, Robin was invited to do a screen test for the Grundy Organization which won him acting parts in the Young Doctors and Glenview High. Robin left Squeeze in 1978 to resume a solo career, releasing the album 'Let It Take You' which he wrote, arranged and produced himself. This album was later released in the UK on the BBC's own label. Several of Robin's songs have been covered by performers such as Canadian Patrick Norman, Dinah Lee and New Zealand's Queen of Pop, Tina Cross. His writing and production credits also included scores for film and television. In the early 80's Robin teamed up with singer/guitarist Greg Young to form the country music duo Sinclair & Young. This alliance resulted in two more successful years of recording and live performance.

Another solo recording was released in 1985. The single, consisting of reworked versions of two previously released Squeeze songs, re-established Robin Lee Sinclair as a solo singer/songwriter. In 1986 he composed and recorded two albums of new age music, 'The White Light Collection Volumes One and Two'. During the same year, Robin joined the Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts as singing teacher and musical director, as well as starting his own teaching studio in the Sydney suburb of Ryde. For a few years Robin had been performing country rock with his band in and around the Sydney circuit and attracted a considerable following among country music fans. His album, ''Honky Tonk Heaven'' consisted of 14 all new Sinclair originals, and contained an exciting and varied mix of ballads, traditional country and country rock.

In July 1999, Robin joined the Roy Orbison Tribute Show, revelling in the opportunity to pay homage to his all-time favourite singer and childhood inspiration. It was a hugely successful four years on the Sydney club circuit which included a  release of a Big O tribute CD. Robin Lee Sinclair's last CD, 'Live and Kickin' (featured highlights from live club performances). Robin Lee Sinclair died in 2022.
