• Clive Sarstedt (born Clive Robin Sarstedt, 21 January 1944, Ajmer, Rajastan, Northern India) is a British pop music singer and instrumentalist. Sarstedt appeared on many many music live shows including Top of The Pops. He made his recording debut as Wes Sands (recorded by Joe Meek, who also was his manager), and later continued to record under the name of Clive Sands. He joined The Deejays in Sweden in 1966/1967. 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. In the Benelux countries however he hit the charts later in 1976 with his cover version of "Let's Fall In Love", a song written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler and published in 1933. (en.wikipedia)
