Robert John (born Robert John Pedrick, Jr., 1946, Brooklyn, New York) is an American singer-songwriter. He is best remembered for the 1979 hit, "Sad Eyes". This song, which features John's falsetto vocals, reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 that summer. Earlier, in 1963 he recorded as the lead singer with Bobby & the Consoles.
John, then known as Bobby Pedrick, first hit the pop charts in 1958 when he was only 12 years with, "White Bucks and Saddle Shoes". Fourteen years later came his next hit, a cover of The Tokens' 1961 hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" which climbed to #3 in 1972.
