Robert Gordon (1947-2022). He started out in punk music, but embraced the spirit of rockabilly. His record labels didn’t know what to do with him. That was their trouble. He was all about 1950s rock and roll, and that’s all there was to it. He should have been as big as Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats.

I played in a band once and opened up for Robert Gordon and the Royal Crowns. I drove altogether 5 hrs in a snowstorm, got 2 beers, 10 bucks and Chinese food with a pubic hair in it, BUT! I met a King of Rock and Blues and it was a great time.

Robert had a good career and was modestly successful, but I still don't know how he never got as big as the Stray Cats did during the late-70's/early-80's rockabilly re-surgence era.

I know NEXT to NOTHING about this Genre, but, ¿could it be due to the CATS being a BAND, and GORDON a SOLO singer? I mean, I have the feeling that, at the time, a FULL BAND was seen by youngsters (conscious, or unconsciously) as the "MODERN" format, whereas the SOLO singer figure might have been perceived as PASSÉ. If that was the case (and it´s only a guess), The STRAY CATS would have appealed to, both, 50s revivalists & mainstream audiences; whereas GORDON would have been seen as "TOO 50s" by the general public.
