On this week’s episode, we are joined by the legendary Robbie Dupree. An American singer-songwriter, Robbie shot to fame in the early 1980s with the smooth, soulful sounds of “Steal Away”, which soared to number 6 on the US charts, followed by the equally infectious “Hot Rod Hearts”. With his blend of rock, pop, and blue-eyed soul, Dupree became a staple of the yacht rock era, a sound that still sails strong today. From Grammy nominations to cult classic status, Robbie’s music continues to resonate with old fans and new.
