“If You Don't Want My Love” #49 6/8/1968

Robert John Pedrick Jr. (known professionally as Robert John) was only 12 when he had his first chart record in 1958, but that only reached #79. It took another 10 years until this became his next one, then another three-plus years went by until his remake of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” got into the Top 5. Another seven years passed before Robert had his only #1 with “Sad Eyes.”

  1. This one still stands as his best single hit.
    It was all over the radio at the time of its release. Surprised it never made the national top-40. A top-40 hit on numerous local/regional markets I have to assume.
