Clive Sarstedt

Clive Sarstedt (born Clive Robin Sarstedt, 21 January 1944, Ajmer, Rajastan, Northern India^[1]) is a British pop music singer.

He made his recording debut as Wes Sands (recorded by Joe Meek, who also was his manager), and later continued as Clive Sands. He joined The Deejays in Sweden in 1966/1967. They had two big hits on "Tio i Topp" in Sweden: "Dum Dum (Marble Breaks And Iron Bends)" and "Baby Talk". He finally had a hit in 1976, with a cover version of the Hoagy Carmichael penned song, "My Resistance Is Low", billed as Robin Sarstedt. It reached Number 3 in the UK Singles Chart.^[2] Without tangible other chart success, he remains a one-hit wonder.

He is the youngest brother of Peter and Eden Kane/Richard Sarstedt.

As of 2008^[update], he is living in Los Pinos, near Bédar, a village in the autonomous community of Andalusia, Spain.
