The Robbs
The Robbs were an American pop and rock band formed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1963, relocating to California in 1964. The core members were brothers Bruce Robb (keyboards, vocals), Dee Robb (guitar, vocals), and Joe Robb (bass, vocals). They were later joined by drummer Craig Krampf.
The band achieved their greatest success in the late 1960s with a string of singles, most notably "Rose Garden" (1968), which reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Other charting singles included "Race to the End" and "Next Time It Happens."
Prior to their chart success, The Robbs spent time as the house band on the syndicated television show Where the Action Is, which exposed them to a large teen audience and helped build their fanbase.
After their pop success waned, the brothers continued in the music industry as session musicians, songwriters, and producers. They owned and operated Cherokee Studios in Hollywood, a recording studio where numerous prominent artists recorded, contributing significantly to the music scene for several decades. The studio's history and involvement in iconic albums further cemented their legacy beyond their initial pop success.
