Robbie Dupree

Robbie Dupree (born Robert Dupuis, 23 December 1946, Brooklyn, New York) is an American singer-songwriter best known for his 1980 top ten pop hit, "Steal Away."

Dupree originally became popular with his breakout hit, "Steal Away", which hit #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in April 1980. Shortly after that, he scored another hit with "Hot Rod Hearts", which rose to #15 in July 1980. Dupree's final single to make the Billboard charts, "Brooklyn Girls", peaked at #54 in May 1981.

In 1987, Dupree contributed the song "Girls in Cars" to "Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II", a collection of theme songs for World Wrestling Entertainment (then known as the World Wrestling Federation). The WWE tag team Strike Force (Tito Santana and Rick Martel) used "Girls in Cars" as their entrance music.
