Here are 2 performances by Robert John of his number 1 hit song of 1979, "Sad Eyes". The Brooklyn born singer wrote this melodic ballad himself and was able to use a fine falsetto in his rendering of a previous hit cover of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" originally introduced by The Tokens.

The 1970s was one of the greatest decades of music EVER, and it's songs like this that made it one of the most amazing times to be growing up listening to the radio!

Watching him sing this, i can tell he was singing this about someone that he had in his life. The people who said why he didnt make alot more music, well when you set the bar so high with this song...❤

[dieselsubmariner]

Takes me back to my mid teens and the school discos! Fantastic.

[anthonygutierrez]

Robert John had one of the best if not the best octave voices I've ever heard. I'm surprised he didnt record many more songs. Guy had a phenomenal singing pipes.
