Floyd Robinson (singer)

Floyd Robinson was an American country singer who was briefly successful in the late 1950s.

Robinson's music is similar stylistically to that of John D. Loudermilk, and Robinson, like Loudermilk, worked as a songwriter. Among his songwriting contributions was "The Little Space Girl", a hit for his cousin, Jesse Lee Turner. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3nfexzu5ldje Review of "Makin' Love] , Allmusic] Robinson recorded for RCA Victor, Dot, Jamie, and Groove over the course of his career, and released a full-length album on RCA.
