Robert Gordon Obituary

Robert Gordon was a neo-rockabilly singer from the United States. Robert Gordon was born in Bethesda, Maryland, in the United States.

At the age of nine, he was greatly inspired by the Elvis Presley song “Heartbreak Hotel,” which was playing on the radio, and he decided to pursue a career as a rock and roll musician.

Gordon moved to New York City in 1970 and, a few years later, joined the Tuff Darts, a punk rock band. The Tuff Darts recorded “All for the Love of Rock and Roll,” “Head over Heels,” and “Slash” for the Live at CBGB’s compilation album in 1976, alongside a number of other local New York City bands.

Gordon’s 1981 album, Are You Gonna Be The One, was his best-selling album to date, selling over 200,000 copies.

Robert Gordon died Tuesday, October 18, 2022, at the age of 75, according to his record label. Although no cause of death was given, his family recently started a GoFundMe campaign to help with his battle with acute myeloid leukaemia.

Gordon’s final album, “Hellafied,” which again teams him with British guitarist Chris Spedding, is being released by the label on November 25, 2022.
