Robin Trower (born Robin Leonard Trower, on 9 March 1945) is an English rock guitarist and vocalist who achieved success with Procol Harum during the 1960s, and then again as the bandleader of his own power trio.
Trower was born in Catford, South East London, England and grew up in the seaside resort of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. In 1962, Trower formed a group that became The Paramounts, later including fellow Southend High School pupil Gary Brooker.[Believe this should be Westcliff High School for Boys] The Paramounts disbanded in 1966 to pursue individual projects. During this time, Trower created a local three-piece band called 'The Jam' (not to be confused with the later group with Paul Weller). Trower then joined Brooker's new band Procol Harum following the success of their debut single "A Whiter Shade of Pale" in 1967, remaining with them until 1971 and appearing on Procol Harum's first five albums.
Before launching his own eponymous band, he joined singer Frankie Miller, bass player James Dewar, and former Jethro Tull drummer Clive Bunker to form the short-lived combo Jude. This outfit did not record and soon split up.

Read your letters
Line by line
Same old story
Doing just fine
You tell me that he loves you
But babe I believe you’re lyin’
You know I’ll love you better second time
Come back to me babe
Pack your clothes
No-one’s watching
Coz no-one knows
Now he don’t really want you
So stealin’ you ain’t no crime
I know you’ll love me better second time
He’s treats you dirty
Plays around
Leaves you hurtin’
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
The phone is ringing
What’s the news
Thought it over
Got nothing to lose
You say you’re on the run now
Coz neither ones worth a dime
So babe they’ll never be no second time
Stop your stallin’
Holdin’ out
Hear me calling
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
Robin guitar solo
He’s treats you dirty
Plays around
Leaves you hurtin’
But you won’t, no you won’t back down
Stop your stallin’
Holdin’ out
Hear me calling
