Biography
Robert Neale Lind, born on 25 November 1942 in Baltimore, Maryland, is an American singer-songwriter known for his contributions to the 1960s folk-rock movement. His family moved frequently due to his stepfather's career in the Air Force, eventually settling in Denver, Colorado. While studying at Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado, he developed an interest in folk music and decided to pursue a career as a musician. He signed his first recording contract with World Pacific Records in 1965. His breakthrough came with the release of "Elusive Butterfly", which made it to number five on both the US and UK charts in 1966. He also wrote "Cheryl's Goin' Home", which has been covered by countless other artists, including Cher, Glen Campbell, Aretha Franklin, and Dolly Parton. Despite his early successes, he temporarily departed from the music industry in the late 1960s. He returned to music in 2004, performing at the Guthrie Center in Becket, Massachusetts. Since then, he has released several albums, including Finding You Again (2012), and was inducted into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2013 and the Maryland Entertainment Hall of Fame in 2019. He released the album Something Worse Than Loneliness in 2022.
