Description

A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS VERY RARE ROCK-A-BILLY 78 from ROBIN LUKE ON UK LONDON

THIS WAS THE ROCKIN' FOLLOW UP TO ROBIN LUKE'S ONLY MAJOR HIT "SUSIE DARLIN' - IT FAILED TO CHART AND FAIRLY SOON AFTERWARDS LUKE LEFT THE MUSIC BUSINESS TO GO TO COLLEGE...

In May 1958, in the bedroom in a downtown apartment, Punahou senior Robin Luke recorded "Susie Darlin'," backing up his own vocals with guitar and ukulele while someone else provided percussion using a cardboard LP cover, two pens and a stick

Luke was 16 when he became a national teen idol whose contemporaries included Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Richie Valens, Frankie Avalon, Sam Cooke and the Everly Brothers. "My dad used to say it was better than being an idle teen," Luke said. "He also told me when it all began not to allow my hat size to increase."

There was no chance of that happening, says Dick Ednie, Luke's best friend who played "bucket bass" when they performed together at parties and variety shows.

"Robin never wanted fame and glory," said Ednie, now manager of Bank of Hawaii's Honokaa branch on the Big Island. "He was more secure in academics than rock shows. Music was always a fun thing for him."

Luke's parents - Robert Sr., a former service representative for Douglas Aircraft, and Patricia -- came to Hawaii in 1953 and lived in Aina Haina for 11 years. Luke began taking guitar lessons at age 6, but in spite of his music success, his parents wanted their only son to go to college.

"My parents made me promise that I'd get a college education," Luke said. Susie Darlin'  provided enough money so I never had to work while going to school and college provided the start for what I do today."

While attending Pepperdine University, where he earned two degrees in psychology and chemistry/biology, Luke pursued his music career part-time. He went on to earn his doctorate at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He also has master's degrees in business and public administration. He never went back into the music business....
