Robin Beck
Encyclopedia
Robin Beck is an American
singer. She topped the singles chart
in the UK
in 1988, and Germany
in 1989 with her single
"First Time
", which had come to the public's attention via its use in a Coca-Cola
commercial
.
, supporting the efforts of Melissa Manchester
, Chaka Khan
, and Leo Sayer
. She also sang on radio jingles for Jam Creative Productions
, in particular "the ultimate one" for BBC Radio One in the UK. Her first album was released in 1979, and featured Irene Cara
and Luther Vandross
on backing vocals. However, her subsequent debut album
's song
s failed to achieve commercial success in the United Kingdom
, although it later spawned "Save Up All Your Tears
" which hit the Top 10 in Germany
.
Her major hit coincided with a unique chart confluence; after waiting thirty-five years for the first instance of three consecutive female vocalists at the top of the UK Singles Chart
, she completed the second such occurrence in under a year. The first sequence was Belinda Carlisle
, Tiffany
and Kylie Minogue
in 1988; the second threesome consisted of Whitney Houston
, Enya
and Robin Beck. She qualifies as a one-hit wonder
in the UK, as "First Time" is her only single to reach their chart. This is not the case in Germany, where "Save Up All Your Tears" reached number 10, and she had at least three other chart singles. The German success of "First Time" won Beck a 1990 RSH Gold award, given annually by a German radio station since 1988 on the basis of major regional airplay success.
Her album Trouble Or Nothin was produced
by Desmond Child
and featured songs by Child, Diane Warren
, Holly Knight
, Tom Kelly
and Billy Steinberg
. Despite their track record of success in the US, Beck's material did not find success. The song, "Hide Your Heart", charted in both the US and the UK as a single by KISS
the same year as Beck's version was released. It was also recorded that year by Ace Frehley
and Molly Hatchet
, and was the title track of Bonnie Tyler
's album of the previous year. Two other songs from the Beck album were released as singles by Tyler — "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" (1986) and "Save Up All Your Tears
" (1988) — and one by John Waite
, "Don't Lose Any Sleep" (1987). Despite the songwriters' hit track records, none of those songs were major hits in the US in any of their versions. "A Crazy World Like This", co-written by Neil Giraldo, had been an album cut for Pat Benatar
.
Beck went on to record further solo work with noted writers, which was best received in Germany, and continued to do guest vocal spots on other artists' albums, including a duet with Stan Bush
. After a hiatus, she returned in 2003 with her first album in nine years, and has followed that up with a new album every couple of years since.
In 2006, the Swedish
dance outfit Sunblock
sampled
"First Time" for their dance track "First Time". Beck could be seen performing this song, which was released on the 21 May, and reached number 9 in the UK Singles Chart. 2007 saw the release of Livin' On a Dream.
Her album Trouble Or Nothing - 20th Anniversary Edition, was released in February 2009, which featured new recordings of original album tracks, plus four new songs co written with Tommy Denander who also handles guitars on the whole album as well as co producing the new tracks.
Robin and her husband James Christian sang a duet on the song "Easy's Getting Harder" on Tommy Denander's 3rd Radioactive album "Taken" in 2005.
In 2009, she recorded three tracks as special guest on Impulsia's debut album Expressions: "Fly Away", "Alone" and "Seas To Cross".
Beck's most recent accomplishment is her album, The Great Escape.
In 2010, she also recorded a track as lead vocalist for the debut album of the Italian project Shining Line.
of the hard rock band House of Lords
since 1996. They have a daughter together.
