Born Edward W. Robbins Jr., balladeer Rockie Robbins began singing at any early age. Rockie's uncle owned a record shop where he discovered his love for music. By the time he was eleven, he had collected 10,000 singles and had decided to be a performer.

In 1980, his breakthrough came with the album, You and Me when Rockie Robbins was teaming with producer / arranger, Bobby Martin, whose previous credits included arranging a slew of hits for Gamble and Huff's, Philadelphia International Records.

From the followup album, I Believe In Love the singles After Loving You, Time to Think and I Believe In Love all became moderate hits. Rockie Robbins is seen in the Soul Funk scene as one of the founders of funky soul balladeers. This album contains beautiful ballads which in later years were covered by artists such as Cheryl Lynn, Luther Vandross and Al Jarreau.

I Believe In Love was originally released on A & M Records back in 1981 and is now reissued by PTG Records and Vinyl Masterpiece for the first time along with the original album art and lyrics to all songs.
