Bedford Avenue London W1. Tom Robinson Real Name: Thomas Giles Robinson was
British New Wave, pop-rock singer-songwriter, bassist and radio presenter, born
on 1 June 1950 in Cambridge, he founded the more political Tom Robinson Band in
1976. The following year the group released the single "2-4-6-8 Motorway", which
peaked at No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart for two weeks. The song alludes
obliquely to a gay truck driver. In February 1978, the band released the live
extended play Rising Free, which peaked at No. 18 in the UK Singles Chart and
included his anthemic song "Glad to Be Gay", originally written for a 1976
London gay pride parade. The song was banned by the BBC. In May 1978, the band
released its debut album, Power in the Darkness, which was very well received,
peaking at No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart, and receiving a gold certification by
the BPI. Their second album, TRB Two (1979), however, was a commercial and
critical failure, and the band broke up four months after its
release.
