Marilyn - Despite Straight Lines - Album

Peter Robinson (born 3 November 1962), better known as Marilyn, is a British pop singer who achieved international fame in the 1980s with his hit song 'Calling Your Name'.

Robinson was a part of the British New Romantic movement, a late 1970s underground post-punk fashion movement that became popularised in the early 1980s. He and Boy George were regulars at 'The Blitz' nightclub (regulars being labelled as "Blitz Kids"), a highly stylised nightclub in London.

Following an appearance in the video for Eurythmics' hit single, 'Who's That Girl?' in 1983, which garnered him considerable press attention, Marilyn was signed to Phonogram Records.

However, after much delay, and 18 months after his first hit, Marilyn's debut album 'Despite Straight Lines' was released in June 1985.

The album featured his three previous hits and its release was led by a new single, 'Baby U Left Me (In the Cold)'. However, due to possible loss of momentum, both the new single and album were commercial failures in the UK.
