ROBIN JOLLEY

Robin Jolley started singing with the Melbourne group Windy and Warm whilst in his mid-teens. The band released one single in 1969, ''It Hurts Me So / Bread'' which saw no chart action. Neville Kent discovered him and enticed him to come to Hobart where he got him off the ground as a solo singer. The next step was a record deal. In 1972 he returned to Melbourne in the search for one. Radio DJ Paul Konik introduced him to Brain Cadd which presented him with a song called ''Marshall’s Portable Music Machine'' which Brian had co-written with Don Mudie. The track had already been recorded by Cadd in 1971 as an entry at the Tokyo Song Festival. Robin Jolley was called into Fable Music to rework the lead vocal track. Jolly thought he would fade into obscurity, but his song went #1 in Melbourne, #5 in Adelaide, #1 in Brisbane, #1 in Perth and #4 in Sydney and Top 20 in Japan. It was also released in the Netherlands and NZ. Robin released five singles, an EP and LP for Fable and three other singles on other labels.
