Available in:
Clive Robin Sarstedt (born 21 January 1944) is a British pop music singer and instrumentalist who is best known for his UK hit "My Resistance Is Low", a cover of a song written and originally recorded by Hoagy Carmichael. He is the younger brother of musicians Eden Kane and Peter Sarstedt.
Born in Ajmer, Rajasthan, in Northern India, to parents who were British civil servants. He is the youngest brother of Peter Sarstedt and Richard Sarstedt (billed as "Eden Kane") and has recorded and played guitar on Sarstedt Brothers recordings.
Sarstedt has appeared on many live music shows including Top of The Pops.
He initially recorded under the names "Wes Sands" (recorded by his manager, Joe Meek) "and Clive Sands". He joined The Deejays in Sweden in 1966 and 1967. They had two big hits on "Tio i Topp" in Sweden: "Dum Dum (Marble Breaks And Iron Bends)" and "Baby Talk". He finally had a hit in 1976, with a cover version of the Hoagy Carmichael penned song, "My Resistance Is Low", using his middle name and billed as Robin Sarstedt. It reached Number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.
Without tangible other chart success, he remains a British one-hit wonder. However, in the Benelux countries he hit the charts later in 1976 with his version of "Let's Fall in Love", a song written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler and published in 1933, thus prolonging his short chart career there.
